''Codename: Outbreak'' (also known as ''Venom: Codename: Outbreak'') is a first-person shooter video game developed by Ukrainian GSC Game World and published by Virgin Interactive. It is set during the early 21st century. Prior to the start of the game, a meteor shower arrives containing a parasitic alien life form that takes control of their hosts. The invasion is fast spreading. The game involves fighting off this alien invasion over 14 different levels. ==Story== During the early 21st century, a meteor storm strikes an open valley in the US. Police, science teams and marine units are dispatched to investigate. They disappear shortly after. In the opening cutscene, an advance team is operating when it is reported some of the men have stop broadcasting on the radios. Captain Wilson, leader of the team, and his friend Steve suddenly come under fire from their fellow comrades. As they retreat for aerial pickup, Steve is wounded. As Wilson desperately waits for the transport to arrive, an unknown beast suddenly leaps at Wilson and the screen blacks out. Shortly after this, an advanced organization is started to learn about what is happening in the zone in order to understand the nature of the situation and initiate a counter-attack against the aliens. To achieve this, an advanced strike force (Players and AI-controlled soldiers) investigate to find the marines and police have been infected by parasites. They also find numbers of eggs that seem to have fallen with the meteorite. They have resemblance to the Face Huggers of the franchise, Aliens. The team also find a lone surviving scientist in a ruined building, who the team must evacuate in order to gather intelligence. Shortly after, an advanced research facility is established to fulfill the needs of studying the invaders. Shortly after completion and commencing of operations, the facility itself gets plagued by the aliens and it is not long before everyone is infected. Once again, the strike force must enter the fray. They first break inside the facility from the outside perimeter, encountering new foes such as mutated beasts, like the one who attacked Captain Wilson, and tanks. Once inside, they must gather intelligence and clear out the threat. Inside, they discover yet another surviving scientist. The team escort the scientist by re-emerging outside to ambushes from more infected forces. After clearing the enemy out, the team reaches an extraction point close to where they breached the facility earlier. The team is pushed into a lot of missions. Part of them revolves around the protection and launch of the Icarus-1 Satellite, which can track and determine the large-scale spread of the alien infection. Others are clearing out targets of great importance, such as one mission where players are required to break into an airfield and reprogram the air defenses in order to deny the enemy immense aerial support. Some are even around preventing catastrophe, such as two attempts to launch missiles for destructive use, one of these being, when secured, the launch device for Icarus-1. It is quite clear throughout this how severe the invasion is. Many numbers of enemies are encountered, ranging from defense turrets to heavy vehicles like APC's. The team has to adapt quickly to each mission or they will suffer greatly on the road ahead. In the final mission, Icarus-1 is launched and orbits Earth. It detects a massive heat source on a small island, surrounded by other sources. It is determined that the aliens operate as a collective and the massive signature is the central mind. Without this entity, the aliens would probably go into disarray with lack of leadership and be unable to invade any further. The team is ordered to penetrate the area and rig the area at the controlling entity with a nuclear bomb. Once the bomb is set, the team must evacuate quickly if they do not wish to perish as well. Upon successful completion, the bomb detonates, destroying the central mind and everything around it. As predicted, the alien forces breakdown from having no one to lead them and are therefore now easy to get rid of. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Codename: Outbreak」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
