Plot Overview[]

We're in this together
— Clyde

The game starts in Glasgow, where Ceallachán Mackay teaches new recruits how to use the weapons. Mackay then completes the CQB test. Meanwhile in Andover, Phil McEvan teaches new recruits how to fire RPGs and similar weaponry.

Clyde, Mackay and other Celtic military members are transported to Berlin to fend off a Russian Communist attack on the German city. The Celts push the Russians back and they retreat home. Mackay leads an assault on a Russian border-town to attempt to eliminate the communists. This leads the Celts to the Russian second city of St Petersburg, where they meet up with Russian Loyalists. The Celtic-Loyalist pact fend off a communist attack and they regain control of the city.

Meanwhile, English forces were assaulting the city of Kazan following their invasion from Kazakhstan. They push the communists back to Moscow. Here, the English push the communists further back, but they couldn't complete the assault.

While this is going on, Clyde travels back to Scotland to train with the Scottish Air Force, before attacking Moscow from the sky.

There is then a flashback, where Clyde travels back five years to a Chechen village where he had quietly escaped from. Using stealth, he evaded multiple groups of armed guards with Frenchman Gautier Lyon.

Campaign Levels[]

Special Operations[]

FitD4 Alpha Spec Op

The Alpha section

Special Operation missions are split into five sections - Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and Epsilon - of six missions, to create thirty missions in total. The missions are given classifications relevant to the type of mission.

All of the missions can be completed in single player, or in a co-op mode.

The player earns stars based on the level of difficulty that they complete the mission on:

  • The player will earn one star, if they complete the mission on recruit difficulty.
  • The player will earn two stars, if they complete the mission on regular difficulty.
  • The player will earn three stars, if they complete the mission on hardened difficulty.
  • The player will earn four stars, if they complete the mission on veteran difficulty.
  • The player will earn five stars, if they complete the mission on elite difficulty.

The Alpha missions are unlocked when the player completes the campaign on any difficulty. The player must earn stars to unlock the other missions.

Special Operation missions are set in the locations that the campaign missions are set, with a few being set in the campaign mission locations from previous Flame in the Dark games.
