==Plot== Act of War is set in what is only referred to as "a near future" where a crippling [[energy]] [[Economic system|economy]] has forced [[gasoline|gas]] prices in the [[United States|U.S.]] to over $7 a gallon. The game begins by suddenly plunging the player from a video into a brief introductory mission. "Task Force Talon" or "TFT", an elite US military unit that is unknown to the public, conducts a raid somewhere on the border between [[Libya]] and [[Algeria]], in order to abduct a most-wanted leader of the [[Salafist Group for Call and Combat]], General Imad Kazim. In this raid, it is shown that the unit makes use of very sophisticated methods and equipment. Using a Delta Force squad led by Sergeant Major Jefferson, TFT captures Kazim and destroys the base later with a B-2. Almost immediately afterward, one week before the "World Energy Forum" in [[London]], an oil facility in [[Houston]] is destroyed by a [[terrorism|terrorist]] bombing. Concerned with the possibility of an attack at the Energy Forum as well, the national security advisor, Robert Chamberlain, receives permission to activate Task Force Talon to guard the World Energy Forum. The plot thickens when a major terrorist operation occurs in [[San Francisco]], which results in the US government ordering a full troop recall in order to fight off any further attacks. In the single-player, there is only one campaign to play through, which puts the player in the role of Army Major Jason Richter, commanding the forces of the US Military and Task Force Talon around the world and eventually in [[Washington D.C.]]
