History
In response for the execution of President Al-Fulani, the United States sends the Marine recon units, under General Shepherd's orders, for attacking the OpFor led by Khaled Al-Asad.
The first attacking response of the US was the invasion of Makkah Coast for capturing the TV studio where Al-Asad diffuses the video of Al-Fulani's execution. They send many helicopters and multiple Marines to accomplish the mission. The Marines succeeds in reach the studio, but failed to capture Al-Asad.
Later, the Marines are send to the city of Al-Qunfudhah where they must liberate the city under OpFor's domination. Also, some Marines survival must be rescued by the group. The liberation of Al-Qunfudhah succeed. After these events, they received the orders for attacking the capital city where they located Al-Asad's position.
The assault of the capital city is a major attack and assure the succeed of the Marines. Many tanks and helicopters are sends for the conquest of the city. When the high command believed they will be a nuclear attack, they evacuate a little group of Marines and let the others for searching Al-Asad. In the last minute, they finally evacuate the city without Al-Asad but a nuclear bomb explode, destroying all buildings, helicopters, Abrams tank battalion and remnant OpFor survivors.
The nuclear attack killed 30,000 Marines. The SAS was send later for interrogating Al-Asad at his safehouse in Azerbaijan. It's revealed that Imran Zakhaev was the main instigator of the attack and Makarov was the man who triggers the nuclear explosion. This even is the main reason why General Shepherd would go on to orchestrate a war between the United States and Russia.
