The story opens in Iraq with Delta Force Echo Squad sent to investigate a bunker where WMD's are supposed to be stored. Once the squad get further into the area, they realise something is very wrong, they are attacked by what appear to be mutated human soldiers. Underground, Echo Squad discover some sort of alien structure and when Logan Somers touches it they are attacked by hordes of alien creatures. While escaping, Dr Weis seals Somers inside the facility and the squad leave him for dead.
3 years later, Pierce is in Nevada to help the army get back a military base which has been taken over. Echo squad is chosen because the aliens witnessed in Iraq have been spotted around the base. While trying to infiltrate the base they are attacked by both the aliens (Xenos) and the Reborn (heavily mutated human soliders) who have U.S. dogtags. Upon reaching Rachel, (the closest town to the base) the squad are surprised to meet Logan Somers who they thought was dead. He claims that the US government has been "experimenting" on soldiers who were thought dead or had no close family.
Upon returning to the military base, Somers shoots Grayson and reveals he is the leader of the Reborn insurrection, he accuses Dr Weis of being responsible for working on the Reborn program. It is revealed that the Reborn program was scrapped when subjects proved too difficult to control, the government sealed up Area 51 and left the subjects to die. Somers wants to use the alien artifact that Echo squad first witnessed to overthrow the government.
Echo squad help with the military's huge pre-emptive strike on Area 51 to stop Somers and the Reborn. Pierce is captured and taken to Somers who reveals that he has activated the artifact and released Xeno spores into the atmosphere spreading the Xenos across the country. Weis arrives and frees Pierce who kills Somers in a shootout, both Wies and Pierce then escape in a helicopter as Area 51 collapses and plan to investigate how far the spores have spread.
