The Front Base is the third map of Strife. It is found in the old town hall. It uses the music track "Danger".


Overview

Spoiler Warning: Plot details follow.

After completing Rowan's task in the beginning of the game, he gives you the communicator. When you first get it, BlackBird comes on and tells you about the current situation. After that, she tells you to head over to the old town hall, where the Front's base is located. She advises you to talk to the guard Geoff and tell him you need gold. You do not have to tell Geoff anything, since there is a secret switch that opens up the same door he opens when you tell him the secret.

When you enter the place, head down the hallway and you will meet Macil. He will offer you a chance to fight with the rebels. You can refuse, but if you do, he and the rebels will begin to fire at you, killing you. Until you kill the Programmer, the base is where you will get most of your objectives and missions. When the Programmer is dead, MAP30: Abandoned Front Base replaces this level as the Order's castle becomes the new base for the Front.

To the south, there is a lift that leads to the rebel barracks. There is nothing much there but some rebels hanging out. To the west is where you can shoot out at the firing range and get stamina and accuracy upgrades.
