The plot begins with the Tan Army attacking the Green Army by air and the Green Army later taking revenge, with the narrator announcing: "We shall beat them on all fronts, returning force with force, whether it be by land, sea or air."
Boot Camp is a training level in which the player learns the controls. It consists of training areas for all weapons and an obstacle course.
