Story
It is the year 2012. A giant ball of fire hurdles down from the sky and with a deafening crash, it hits the Earth. Humanity as we know it is doomed to extinction. A giant walker emerges from the crash site. Smaller walkers appeared and as they walked the ground shook as if an earthquake was occurring. From the largest walker hundreds of circular lights appeared under the walker. As the lights fainted and slowly
disappeared, hundreds upon hundreds of of alien infantry appeared.
The aliens began their attack on humanity. Earths forces were horribly slaughtered as the aliens sent an endless hordes of infantry and vehicles to exterminate the humans. The aliens then began to harvest everything in their path. Living or inanimate, it did not matter. Humanity had suffered its greatest loss in history. Only a handful of human military forces are still left and the civilian population is on the verge of extinction.
A small military force decided to make their stand and try to send the aliens back to where they came from. They targeted one of the largest walkers, which seemed to spawn the alien forces. They threw everything they had at it. They launched rockets and fired bullets at it, but they could not dent it's thick armor. They used helicopters and air strikes, but the giant walker just wouldn't die. The attack force were suffering greatly as they tried to destroy the roving skyscraper of death.
The aliens forces were overwhelming the small attack force and just as the attack force was about to be annihilated. A portal opened from behind them. A silver-white humanoid robot appeared from it, along with other robots. They began to attack the giant walkers and it's army of troops and tanks. In this fierce battle between aliens, humanity seemed to be lost in the fray. The aliens fought and eventually the robotic aliens had repelled the giant walkers. The small attack group was saved... for the moment.
In the distance within a great desert. An ancient trap had been triggered and a signal had been sent. Deep in the oceans, another force was beginning to stir. The Earth, and all that call her home, are at stake as The Great War between these three mysterious races has begun at last. The final question that remains is...
Will you save the Earth, or will you consume it?
