Theres not much of a story to Airborne. Its WWII; Nazis need killing and the world needs saving. Youre in the Airborne division, so youll be jumping out of planes and doing your part to swing the war in the Allies favor. Before each mission youre given a brief rundown on whats going on and list of objectives to accomplish. Rather than spawning on the battlefield youll arrive in style by parachuting out of a plane. As you fall to the ground youll want to maneuver toward green smoke, which indicates a safe landing zone. In theory, parachuting into the level is supposed to open up a whole new style of play. Youre free to land wherever you want, but invisible walls prevent you from getting too clever, and nine times out of 10, when you do land somewhere other than the safe zone youll end up dead in a matter of seconds. There are some special landing zones to discover and sometimes these areas will provide you with an advantageous starting point, but because you find most of these locations when youre already on the ground, theyre of little use.
