One last try for the Tan
“Your goal: Mobilize against the Tan Army’s onslaught on Green Army forces — wherever, whenever and however they attack!”
The Tan once again waged war with the Green Nation, so the Green retaliated by attacking the Tan capital. When they discovered that the Tan had created weapons of mass destruction, they declared a full-scale war against the Tan and deployed their forces worldwide to destroy the revived Tan Army and its new weapons. Once again, many of the missions were like World War II battles and others appear to have a resemblance to good ol’ 80′ human archeological movie adventures, as some battles took place in the mysterious regions of the desert land, the one that resembles Human’s Egypt and Jungles similar to Human South America’s.
The protagonist of this story was an unknown veteran of war. Twice his beloved Green Nation had asked him to tackle Tan aggression, and twice he had succeeded. He had fought in almost every theater of war possible, taking the battle to the lands, seas and air critical to the interests of the Green.
Green high command had requested once again that he brandish his rifle and prepare himself for an all-out war with the Tan. He had heard this theme before… but something told him that this next war is truly a final confrontation with the Tan. They were supposedly using up all national resources to create advanced war machinery at an obliterating pace, sacrificing all other national interests in order to produce the most massive stockpile of war craft witnessed to date. Even by Tan standards for those times, this was an unprecedented pace, which they could not maintain for long. They would needed to take action soon or burn themselves up in an attempt to build this vast arsenal.
He knew it will not be long before he head into battle. His battalion had received instructions to carry the war against the Tan into several theaters. He thought he had seen it all before, but his orders included taking on the Tan underground and even underwater, places he had never battled before. And the Green had such faith in him that this time around he will be in command of his own vehicles. Not just firing from them, but driving them as well. Looks like all those battles were worth the effort after all.
He questioned if this will be really is the last global war against the Tan, and he know deep down that it will be. So… this is what it all comes down to. He’d never let his Green nation down before, nor were he about to start. Something tells him that the Tan also know this was the final battle in a war that had pitted two industrial giants against one another. They awaited his presence, and they would gave all they can, because this conflict was called Army Men: World War: Final Front.

Coop maps are a new entry in the ground series, never seen before (and after).
CTF are the classic MP maps from the series, this time even choosing where to place your troops in the escenario, like in Army Men 3D, with the extra of having Flamethrower soldiers.
Grudgematch is another form to call simple “Deathmatch”.
Steal the Bacon is like a “Steal the Beacon”, but this time with a funny little change, swapping the beacon for a piece of bacon. The bacon must be located and held for a maximum of 2 minutes to win, and the opponent can prevent this by killing the opponent, stopping the count and resetting the location of the bacon to another random location. And so on until a total of 2 minutes have elapsed to win. The interesting thing about this game mode is the strategies that can be used, one of them being to capture the bacon and hide in the shadows of the stage.
