Cutscene: Defending the Bridgehead
Hale moves through an abandoned building, but as he approaches a window, a Stalker catches sight of him and starts shooting. As Hale runs for cover, outside M-12 Sabertooth tanks and P-1117 Kingfishers arrive and open fire on the Stalkers, destroying them. When Hale moves out of cover and looks out the window again, he sees a full armoured column below him.
An image of the Chimeran Tower looming over London is shown.
Parker (narrating): Our forces arrived in London nearly unscathed. It was hard not to stare in awe at the tower. We had only fled London 6 months earlier, and now it was almost unrecognizable.
An image of US soldiers and the M-12 Sabertooth arrived in the ruined city of London.
Parker (narrating): The whole city was covered in snow. I knew the Chimera thrived in cold weather, but it was hard to fathom how they might actually be altering the climate itself. The power conduits, the snow, and the tower had to be related in some way.
A map of Southwark, London shows the red arrow marks of the British forces and the American forces advance towards the Chimeran Hub Tower.
Parker (narrating): There was no time to think about it. Their armies were already guarding the tower, and more would be coming.
An image of British and Americans crossing the Tower Bridge is shown.
Parker (narrating): We set the tanks up in assault formation and started across Tower Bridge.
An image of the tanks also crossing the Tower Bridge is shown.
Parker (narrating): The last tanks were crossing the bridge when we saw Goliaths approaching from behind.
Scene changes into image of approaching Goliatha.
Parker (narrating): We had to destroy the bridge before they caught up to our tanks. Hale and a few other soldiers took up defensive positions while the charges were being set.

Cutscene: Goliaths on the March

A map of London marking out the bridges across the river and the Chimera advance is shown.
Parker (narrating): The Chimeran forces were holding us in check while their Goliaths closed in on Southwark Bridge. With Tower Bridge destroyed, there was no possibility of retreat.
An image of Goliaths crossing Southwark Bridge is shown.
