i think that it will be a war between the us and china, or skirmishes or something like that. it starts out as the us and sas fighting the terrorists, but then the terrorists instigate a total war between the us and china. then the chinese invade alaska and in an attempt to cut the supply lines to that invasion, the us assaults the major chinese ports. menwhile the sas are in russia working against the terrorists to stop them from bringing russia into the conflict. while they are doing that, the chinese halt the us advance into the mainland and launch an all out assault on their flanks. but, the us, in a daring manuver, lands several regiments of paratroopers in and around beijing, seizing the capital and the chinese leaders. however, the chinese high command refuses to surrender and begins to push the us salient back toward the beaches. the game ends with images of icbms launching and Ron Pearlman starts up saying "War, war never changes....."
