So ok I am curious on something? Who is the bad guys?? I assumed it was GLA, but it also seems like USA and China are the bad guys as well. Whats the story like for this war? How does Europe get involved? If this has already been posted I am sorry, just post a link to the answer.

It's somehow that Russia and the GLA are both enemies but not allies,Maybe ECA is with China and US.

Who's bad is up to you:
ECA: They literally started the war Russia: They are invading Europe USA: The US is closer to its real life counterpart so I'm sure they don't have a lot of fans China: Basically controls a big chunk of Asia from behind the scenes and bullies the smaller nations GLA: A terrorist is always someone's freedom fighter (though the GLA is more like an army this time around with exception of the terror cells) There's no heroes and villains and everyone has plenty of skeletons in their closet. The 'right' side is up to which side you are on and the wrong side is who you are currently or will fight against. -------------------- |

You might look at the European conflict and think how sad the ECA must be and how evil the Russians are, but when the ECA sat selfishly by and let the GLA troops attack the Russians in Africa, who can say who the real villain is? |

Probably because the US Government think they own the world and do whatever they feel like....

@ Destiny Well as overdose said. Actually here in Europe there is a lot of anti-americanism, as well i think also in south america where he comes from. I don't know in Asia. As well in the game they all are grey-powers, in ZH story USA abandon europe because of the attack of GLA in their land, and china coms to the rescue,anly later to be betraied by Europe,who also left russia alone in africa against GLA. |

I hope to god none of this ever happens for real. It would be the end of humanity as we know it. ---ON TOPIC--- It depends on which story you follow, most people see GLA as the baddies, some see Russia as the baddies, and some the USA. It really depends, there is no definitive answer because all sides commit atrocities during this war as the story goes on. -------------------- |

Also, I never saw the GLA as the bad guys, but neither the USA or China, because they are presented as stereotypes (which I do not like), that is why. |

Agreed on the stereotypes, I think in ROTR they might get rid of those stereotypes for the most part and really bring out core of these factions fighting forces. At least thats what I am hoping for .

Everybody's the good guy too
But in any case, do you think there could be a way to sort of incorporate the story into the actual game? |

Seems like we need a new trope to fit ROTR into everything

This trope fits ROTR best although there are others. Maybe it will help you understand the setting a little. -------------------- |

Well choosen Overdose, this trope is a 100% fit, but well, in regard how much one can stretch it it is no wonder
Yeah, each side has good and bad people, reasons to fight and blood of innocent people on the hands. |
