You’re a new type of cyborg cop, that works for a new anti-terrorism unit to hunt down terrorists, formed after they bombed the twin towers. A global pandemic keeps the streets eerily quiet.

The game came out in 2000 btw.

I got the game bundled with a SoundBlaster Live! Platinum 5.1 kit and played it before, during, and after 9/11, and was blown away by the coincidences that appeared eerily prescient during this time.

Technically it’s the statue of liberty. It’s what gives the purpose of UNATCO. to basically make the world police judge , jury and executioner

Also everything was orchestrated by the Illuminati before they got hijacked by a splinter faction of even bigger dickbags than the normal Illuminati.

Yeah, I left out the spoilers and stuff that didn’t actually happen.

There’s a lot of what were open secrets in the 90s, like that the gov’t was scanning internet traffic and phone calls, the existence of the NSA, the CIA blackmailing US politicians, that gets combined with wacky conspiracies in there, which leaves a bad taste.
