Intro
Two armies of the modern world duke it out in this World War Three scenerio! SHIELD!

The 'Strategic Defense Coalition! 'The deadly, efficient military power of the 2020's who nearly entered a full on war with the United States as a a man played in the shadows with his movement to break Frank Woods and the capitalist world! With society entering hell and these armies at the front, only one will be... THE DEADLIEST WARRIOR!

SHIELD
"An intelligence agency that "fears" intelligence? Historically, not awesome."

- Tony Stark "I recognise the council has made a decision, but given that it's a stupid-ass decision, I've elected to ignore it."

- Nick Fury

The Strate​gic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division is a U.S. government agency. Howard Stark was a founding member. Nick Fury is the current executive head of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents have included Phil Coulson, Natasha Romanoff, Jasper Sitwell, Clint Barton, and Maria Hill.

When Loki stole the Tesseract and escaped along with several enslaved S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel, Director Fury reactivated the Avengers Initiative to counter the threat. Agent Romanoff was sent to bring in Dr. Banner, Agent Coulson was sent to retrieve Tony Stark, and Fury himself approached Steve Rogers, all in the hope that together these individuals might combine their respective talents to help with the problem of Loki and the missing Tesseract.

S.H.I.E.L.D. assisted Rogers in his capture of Loki, and then provided a prison on the helicarrier once Loki had been apprehended. It transpired that Loki had intended to be captured however, a ruse to sow the seeds of discord throughout the ranks of the forces assembled against him. His mind-controlled agents later attacked the helicarrier to free him, heavily damaging it in the process. The a



ttack became a bitter defeat for S.H.I.E.L.D, although Fury turned one of its defining losses into the motivational push that Stark and Rogers needed. In short order the remaining heroes set off in pursuit of Loki, and began referring to themselves as the Avengers.

During the Chitauri invasion in Manhattan, the World Security Council ordered the deployment of nuclear missile to the city in the hope of stopping the invasion. Two planes launched to carry out this directive, but Fury managed to prevent one from taking off, and then Iron Man intercepted missile from the other.

After the Avengers' victory and departure, S.H.I.E.L.D. continued its normal military activities.

Strategic Defense Coalition
"Bring pride to our nation."

- SDC announcer in the beginning of a multiplayer match. "But know this, American... If you are really here for Raul Menendez... I have no need to kill you."

- Tian Zhao The Strategic Defense Coalition, or SDC is one of the largest military alliances in the world, second only to NATO and consists of many countries but its origin lies in the People's Republic of China. During the Second Cold War they may join the war again Raul Menendez should some events unfold a certain way and may have some extra member nations join the group. Their relationship with the West depends on the actions of the player during the Strike Force missions, as failure causes Russia to be invade and a forced member but success leads to the SDC allying with the JSOC and they will help the player during some missions. They are lead by Chairman of the SDC and General Tian Zhao, who was also an ally of the CIA and Mujahadeen but after he, Alex Mason, Frank Woods, and Jason Hudson are betrayed they are left beaten and left for dead in the Afghani desert. Forty years later he meets David Mason and it is revealed that him and Menendez are planning an alliance, which leads to an assassination attempt against him. If he lives the SDC Russian invasion is a success and it becomes the most powerful alliance on the planet but if he dies the SDC loses a hardline leader and they ally with the JSOC.

X Factors
Leaders=



Troops=

Nick Fury vs. Tian Zhao
Training=

Fury was in the army and has been in espionage for a long time, so he's got a trick up or two his sleeve. But Zhao's group is trained with battlefield combat in mind, so it's safe to assume that he would get in on that training whereas Fury would be more into the tactical end of things.

Edge: Tian Zhao



Experience=

I decided to call this even as both have fought the toughest of the tough. Fury has fought a wide array of enemies from aliens to supervillains, while Zhao has operated since the 80's and has headed one of the deadliest military forces on Earth, a group that has fought threats worldwide.

Edge: Even



Perception=

Fury is bound to wearing an eyepatch and can't use both of his eyes, which can allow Zhao or any enemy troops to sneak up on his blind side and essentially makes him a target. Zhao has both his eyes and can see more than his enemy leader, giving him a tactical advantage.

Edge: Tian Zhao



Physicality=

Despite Fury's handicap, he's the younger of the two and is physically capable to fight for himself. Zhao isn't too shabby and is in good physical shape but his age may catch up to him should he run out of luck.

Edge: Nick Fury



Stealth=

SHIELD is an agency focused on espionage, so agents like Fury are well trained in staying hidden both from the enemy and from the public eye. Zhao is more on the combat side of warfare, entering the front lines where sneaking up on enemies isn't that useful.

Edge: Nick Fury



Tactics=

Both are insanely skilled leaders with load of respective accomplishments and battles to their name. However, I'll give it to Fury considering how well him and his men have kept their ground from out-worldly threats.

Edge: Nick Fury

SHIELD vs. SDC
Discipline=

The SDC is infamous for its strict regime and stricter training. Soldiers are trained in the harshest of conditions and endure the most they can take and then some. SHIELD isn't as brutal but is still tough.

Edge: Strategic Defense Coalition



Experience=

Both have fought their fair share of humans but while the SDC have only fought humans, SHIELD has fought superhumans and enemies the SDC hasn't even fathomed. They've fought a wider pool that gives them the edge in combat, hardening them.

Edge: SHIELD



Stealth=

SHIELD is an espionage agency, spying constantly and relying on intelligence to get the edge over their opponents. The SDC is well trained but as I've said, they're meant to fight on the front lines where stealth would do little in the end.

Edge: SHIELD



Brutality=

The SDC are known for being tough and having no mercy, even if it means killing armies of men. SHIELD isn't on that same boat, killing for its best interest but not being as hardened as the SDC.

Edge: Strategic Defense Coalition



Loyalty=

SHIELD has been the victim of sabotage by Hydra, with many of their agents being reported as plants and traitors so there is an air of uncertaintity in the agency. With the SDC, they are loyal to Zhao but it has been shown after he died, there was a major loss in the iron-clad will they had been known for.

Edge: Strategic Defense Coalition



Tenacity=

SHIELD has fought opponents way bigger than what they can possibly fathom, but still fight on with no quit in them. The SDC has made some bold decisions, but they lacked the same weight of those held by SHIELD during situations like the Invasion of New York.

Edge: SHIELD

Weapons Edges
Pistol=

The FN Five-seveN has a higher capacity and micro-rifle, armor piercing rounds compared to the 9mm bean shots of the Smith & Wesson. Both are amazing weapons meant for the best of the best special forces, but the Five-seveN is just that damn good.

Edge: Strategic Defense Coalition



SMG=

Both of these SMGs are pretty unique, not shooting the usual 9mm or .45 we've grown accustomed to, but micro-rifle rounds like those found on the SDC's pistol. But I'll give it to the P90, as it has a much larger capacity and is firing the larger bullet (I believe).

Edge: SHIELD



Assault Rifle=

The classic M4A1 gets the edge here, despite being slightly heavier than it's Chinese opponent. Bullpups are known for being really accurate but the M4 has an easier to control rate of fire as well as superior range. The 5.8 round is unique but doesn't pack the punch of a 5.56.

Edge: SHIELD



Sniper Rifle=

The DSR and its .50 caliber is really, really powerful, but unnecessary in the end. It's a definite kill, but a sniper with a good aim should get a kill just as easily with a smaller round. The Remington is more portable and still brings power, allowing for the sniper using it to act quicker should he be on the run.

Edge: SHIELD



Launcher=

The SMAW, despite being heavy and clunky like other launchers, gets the edge for its superior caliber and range. This rendition of the RPG is better quality than the RPG-7 used by rebel forces, but it still lacks the sophistication of the SMAW.

Edge: SDC
