This concept is in response to AugFC's concept, Downfall.

War is a concept for a Survival-Horror Third-Person Shooter. It is set in London, in Modern times. You play as a civilian (looks and name are up to you).

The game begins on a December morning in the year of 2012 (Come on, I didn't have any better ideas for years. The character wakes up, to find it much foggier than usual, and walks outside. They hear a loud crashing noise. They go to the source of the noise, and find a giant pod-like object crashed into the side of a building. Humanoid like creatures, with advanced military uniforms (maybe about 10 to 20 years ahead of ours), and firearms (again, 10 or 20 years) exit this vehicle, and begin firing at the other civilians at the crash site.

The player runs to take cover, eventually getting back to their apartment. They find anything to defend themselves with (i.e. kitchen knives, cricket bats, etc.). They then listen to emergency radio broadcasts telling them to head for the nearest Subway station. They slowly advance towards the Subway station (2 kilometers away), brutally killing any of the creatures that find them. As this is happening, the player watches as more civilians are brutally slain in the streets, their bodies being thrown into piles that keep growing by the minute.

As the player nearly arrives at the Subway station, military forces begin arriving, and vicious firefights break out om the streets. Meanwhile, more of these pods crash down, onto buildings, onto streets, everywhere. The player finally reaches the Subway station, now guarded by LMGs and Heavily Armed Soldiers. The player then rests for a few hours.

The player wakes up to sounds of booming artillery, explosions, and gunfire. The Subway station that was heavily guarded is now littered with bodies (the creatures passed the civilian, because they thought he was dead). The civilian gathers up some of the weapons from the dead soldiers. Exiting outside, he finds that it is still foggy, but bright lights shine through the fog. As the civilian moves closer to these lights, he finds the lights to be fires and Explosions.

By this time, the player encounters a convoy passing by them. He goes up to the soldiers, and ask them just what the hell is happening. They reply that is an Extraterrestrial Invasion, and that these landings have been occuring across Europe. The soldiers speculate that the aliens came here to claim fuel deposits (Carbon is the aliens' fuel. The convoy is then hit by multiple missiles, one of which knocks the player out.

That's the end of Act 1, Act 2 will be here tomorrow....
