Warnings
When heavily armed terrorists from the global revolutionary front take control of an experimental nuclear reactor off the coast of French Guiana, there's only one hope of handling the situation before it goes public: send in the elite commandoes of the foreign legion. Take the fight to the threat as a memeber of a skilled team of battle-hardened legionnaires in this pulse-pounding adventure!
Deploy to Ile Royale: navigate through a labyrinth of caves, a 19th century penal facility, and a factory compound to gain entry into the island's research facility and suppress the enemy. Use your surroundings to eliminate the enemy and shoot from cover using the Covert Fire System. Employ the signature ordinance of the Foreign Legion - FAMAS, ERYX, PAMAS-G1, H&K, MP5 - and weapons seized from the enemy (FN FAL, Bizon PP-19, H&K G11, Mossberg 500)
