In a battle within the Egyptian TGE refinery, Task Force Talon deploy cutting-edge military technology against an enemy that now possesses self-propelled artillery and invisible tanks. They manage to gather enough intelligence to convince the President to support their military defense of the TGE complex in Egypt. Therefore, Major Richter goes against presidential orders and deploys Task Force Talon forces to Egypt. troops in Egypt, terrorists will destroy TGE. He has noticed that the primary target of the terrorist attacks in Houston, London, California and other places around the globe has been TGE, the oil company that is on the verge of resolving the oil crisis.

The squad thwarts an attack but two VIPs are kidnapped: Arthur Kingman, CEO of TransGlobal Energy corporation (TGE), and Yegor Zakharov, the representative of the world energy consortium. As such, an elite top-secret military unit known as Task Force Talon is assigned to guard the World Energy Forum. One week before the "World Energy Forum" meeting in London, a terrorist bombing destroys an oil facility in Houston. It was released on 7 July 2006.Īct of War is set in what is only referred to as "a near future" (presumably 2017 or 2023, since the game starts on Wednesday, May 10) where the gasoline prices in the United States have reached over $7 a gallon due to an economic crisis. The soundtrack is composed by Marc Canham and Jonathan Williams, and performed at Nimrod Studio Orchestra. Unlike RTS games in which all-around-effective units may be mass-produced and used almost exclusively over other units, Act of War requires the player to use a variety of units. Buildings are realistically destructible and barricades can be created. They may bleed to death or be taken as the prisoners of war by the enemy. In Act of War, heavily wounded soldiers are immobilized and are unable to engage in combat until they receive medical attention. The recorded video is then post-processed and provided with sound effects and dialog. Pre-rendered cut-scenes were done using machinima technique, wherein one person plays while being recorded from different angles (with all interface elements hidden). Live action was shot in Montreal, Quebec, Canada during the summer of 2004. The game includes a combination of pre-rendered cut-scenes and over an hour of live action film.
