Kazakh Conflict

The Kazakh Conflict is a fictional proxy war within the the Sino-American War featured only in Battlefield 2: Modern Combat ' s singleplayer campaign. The conflict starts with the PLA moving in to Almaty, Kazakhstan, while NATO forces try to remove them from the area and resolve the conflict through negotiation.

However, the NATO diplomat is assassinated by an unmarked Mi-24 Hind that both the US and China believe to be the other's, furthering the conflict from the Almaty Region to the Qyzylorda Region and Mangystau Regions of Kazakhstan. It is only revealed towards the end of Battlefield 2: modern Combat ' s campaign that Commander 31 of The Burning Flag was the one to instigate this war.

The player then has the choice to lead either NATO or PLA forces to Commander 31's hideout in Kazakhstan after taking out either Lt. Col Scott or Lt. Col. Yuanhang Zhu (depending on the player's chosen side). The player will then have to disarm three ICBMs that Commander 31 planned to use against both the United States, China, and Europe, as well as killing Commander 31 through use of a laser designator, and ending the war.
