SWAT: Global Strike Team
SWAT: GST is a tactical first-person arcade game that combines the strategic elements of SWAT 3 with the accessible arcade action of the Virtua Cop series. Like the real-life SWAT organization itself, SWAT Global Strike Team is a life-saving organization whose mission is to defend and save the lives of innocent people. As a member of the SWAT Global Strike Team, players are called to duty from one moment to the next and are confronted with missions that have never been seen before. Founded in 2008, the Global Strike Team is an international offshoot of the SWAT organization that helps countries and organizations around the globe deal with situations they can't successfully handle on their own.
Story
SWAT: GLOBAL STRIKE TEAM was created in 2008 in response to an unprecedented escalation of threats of violence against civilians around the world by a well-organized and highly ruthless transnational criminal network intent on destabilizing democracy for its own gain. At a secret UN Security Council crisis summit in Moscow, free world leaders unanimously concluded that the best way to combat this common enemy was to create a global police force with a structure similar to or mirroring that of the criminal network. SWAT: GLOBAL STRIKE TEAM is composed of the best police officers from the best tactical units in the world, including some who have served in OPERATION URBAN JUSTICE in previous years, as well as former special forces from various armies. It is based on the concept that different nationalities with knowledge of the local criminal environment can pool their information and expertise to surprise the enemy and prevent them from achieving their objectives. Those selected for the SWAT: GLOBAL STRIKE TEAM complete missions around the world before returning to their previous jobs. Most of them decide to stay... SWAT: GLOBAL STRIKE TEAM is the muscle that is the business of a worldwide policy to unite the law enforcement agencies of civilized nations in a sustained effort to coordinate a response to the real threat posed by the criminal network. SWAT: GLOBAL STRIKE TEAM is therefore designed to work in concert with traditional law enforcement and military/defense organizations around the world. You are Mathias Kincaid, a former member of the U.S. Army's elite Delta Force unit and now commander of SWAT: GLOBAL STRIKE TEAM. After volunteering for the GST mission, your wish has finally come true. As an Element Leader, you work with two First Lieutenants, a sniper named Kana Lee and Anthony "TJ" Jackson, an outstanding technician. A major threat to world security has emerged: Two rival gangs, the "Omega Cartel" (Executive High Rollers) and the "Whispering Dragon Clan" (Urban Street Warriors) - in reality organizations - are engaged in a fierce turf war over the production and distribution of a deadly new designer drug, LD-50 - nicknamed SPIKE. The Omega Cartel owns the production and distribution arm, but the new boys on the block, the Dragons, want to tax the Omega Cartel or gain access to their territory. This war has spread to the streets of the world's largest cities, terrorizing ordinary, decent citizens. Airports have been closed due to bomb threats, waves of car bombings have hit the U.S., Europe, and the former Soviet Union, and street shootings have spread beyond LA and into the interior of the U.S. In several major European cities, vast areas are considered virtual war zones and have been virtually abandoned by traditional police forces. To counter this threat, a global police response is needed. And so the SWAT: GLOBAL STRIKE TEAM is called in with the mission of destroying the two narco-terrorist organizations.
