After The Flash...

"After The Flash..." is the first installment of five current ATF games. It features (for its time) high-quality, realistic morphs and a wide, expansive map, as well as detailed weapons, which were, however, quite annoying in some cases, as there'd be the occasional barrage of random-shooters.

The guide doesn't contain any specific hints as to precisely when the game takes place, though it is most likely around the 2040's-2050's.

Locations

The locations within the map include "Bridge Town", a CDF (Civilian Defense Front)-Owned, refugee-founded area. The Civilian Defense Front negotiated in 2042 to expand and gain ownership of this small town. There is also a USCPF (United States Civilization Preservation Force) camp, it is very well-equipped and has a quite large food supply, beds, and more to support its soldiers with expensive weaponry.

Factions

The USCPF are known for being the smallest faction, however, they are certainly not the weakest. They have mutiple, high equipped forts across the country and their goals are to restore the old America. They are focused on rebuilding cities with high security and offering help for civilians. They often have fully clothed uniforms, and carry rifles and other powerful weaponry such as tanks and howitzers. Getting into a fort is quite hard, due to the massive amount of security. In the current ATF5, their fort is located in the pearl dunes as Fort Outlook. RAFTyphoon currently owns and manages USCPF.

CDF are the largest faction, with tens of thousands of scrap towns on the US and hundreds of members. CDF are the Civilization Defensive Force, and their basic goal is to protect civilians.. Their awful inactivity gets to them, as most of them consist of low ranks and inexperienced soldiers. Their scrap town in ATF5 is Crane Town, presumably earning its name due to the large crane.
