Hack into the corrupt government and military to prevent them from using weapons of mass destruction that can escalate to a war leading to nuclear Armageddon giving your allied rebels a chance to win the revolution against the government!
Instead of the player going Rambo on the front lines, killing soldiers, destroying supplies, blowing up tanks, following orders, and all that military stuff, the player sits in a hidden base of operations where he/she hacks the technology of the corrupt governments base and facilities to make it difficult for them to fight back the rebels that you are allied with.
