Future Strike- I have a strong feeling that this game was in development, but was retooled as Future Cop LAPD, another EA game featuring a Mech warrior in top down 3D. I'm cautious to put this in to the article though, as I have NO evidence for it. Anyone care to comment?- Coyote-37

[edit] Predicted 9/11?

One scene that stands out in the game Urban Strike is where the bad guy/terrorist attacks the World Trade Center with his laser weapon. In the level that follows, your main objective is to rescue survivors from the WTC before it ultimately collapses. Obviously, in real life the WTC wasn't attacked by a giant satellite-reflected laser beam, but this still stands out to me as something eerily(sp?) prophetic. I wonder if I'm the only one to have noticed this? In any case, I just wanted to share this little detail.

I noticed that myself. I'm surprised not too many people mentioned it. It's also creepy that the year the game is set in is 2001. I get chills down my spine when I think about it. user:George

I'll cheat myself up to that level to get a screenie. I remember playing it days before the crash, and afterwards it felt really weird. ^wS;✉ 01:12, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

Maybe Osama bin Laden had played this game and got inspired by it. You never know.

[edit] Nuclear Strike plot and 9/11

• I've removed the references to 9/11, as I think it's nothing but a coincidence, and not a particularly strong one at that. I found the discussion on the talk pages about it interesting, but I don't think it belongs on the main page. If someone (I think most of the editors of this page frequent the talk pages, which is great!) wants to put it back in a more encyclopedic way, please do, but could you post your reasons here?
• Nuclear Strike plot- I think the note about the plot not being completed and leading into Future Strike is pretty interesting and should stay. Again, if the anon who keeps moving it (who I think is George forgetting to sign in!) wants to move it again, could they discuss why here? Thanks Coyote-37 09:44, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

Sure, Lemonde was killed at the end of Nuclear Strike. The last mission had Lemonde trying to destroy the ozone layer thereby killing everyone in the world by having them burn to death by the sun's rays. The main character(you) fires several missiles at the Shiva tank, blowing up the tank and killing Lemonde. Then the character returns to base and the world is saved. The ending scene shows Lemonde being killed. I don't know why you keep changing what i typed. Lemonde died at the end of the game. Please stop changing it. Thanks User:George

Maybe the N64 plot was different, but on the Playstation, LeMonde activates an old Russian weapon called Shiva's Dagger, which is a nuke designed to burn off the upper atmosphere as you say (a tracked missile platform, not a tank, I might add) and you and Andrea use Hokum helicopters to destroy it. LeMonde is not aboard and Earles comments at the end of the game clearly state that the mission is not over- leading to the Future Strike trailer. I'm not being malicious in my edits and would welcome further discussion, I'm just pretty sure I'm right! Anyone else remember the ending differently? Coyote-37 15:13, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

No, he was onboard. I have the playstation version. The final cutscene showed Lemonde onboard the Shiva saying the world will be on fire. After he speaks they show the missile moving towards the Shima. Then it shows Lemonde looking pale and then the missile hits Shiva, killing Lemonde in the process. General Earle then sarcastically says that Lemonde was "certifiable." He doesn't say Lemonde got away. He tells Andrea to tell the world how close they came to dying. Lemonde was killed. The threat was obviously over. Then you see the Future Strike trailer. Unfortunately the game was never released. You must've forgotten Nuclear Strike's ending. Lemonde was killed. End of story.

Ok, you seem pretty sure, so I'll magnanimously back down! I think the page as it stands works anyway, so it can be left. I'd still like to hear from other users on their memories of the ending though, and when I get round to it, I'll play through the level again to remove any doubt from my mind. By the way, George, some tips about using Wiki talk pages. Remember to sign off with four tildes (~) to sign and date your post and indent replies using a colon (:). It helps to make the discussion clearer to other users. Finally, thanks for the interesting discussion! Coyote-37 09:14, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

No problem. user:George
