Synopsis

Nathan Hale and Echo Team are sent into Orick to destroy a Chimeran battleship which had retreated there after being severely hit in San Francisco. The town of Orick fell under gray territory in 1952 and has since been under quarantined. Traces of human chaos that happened within Orick, such as abandoned cars filling a motorway and Grim cocoons.

Hale leads Victor Company where they find the remains of Oscar Company, which was sent earlier into Orick and decimated by the Chimera. Hale's convoy is eventually ambushed, in which he and the survivors go through the Californian Redwoods to try and get through to Orick but are impeded by Chameleons and Drones. Hale became the only survivor of his convoy.

Hale manages to reach Orick and is saved by Aaron Hawthorne, who uses a hijacked Attack Drone to destroy advancing Hybrids. Hale then reunites with Echo Team. After seeing that human anti-air artillery and ordnance are not enough to destroy he battleship, Echo Team decided to board and destroy it from within. The team charge through a warehouse as Victor Three and his group of soldiers fight the Chimera and Hellfire Turrets on the other side. Echo Team manage to clear out the warehouse before hijacking a Chimeran shuttle to fly to the battleship.

Trivia

• In the little lumberyard near the town, the player can avoid the drones that attack by running through it and jumping off the bridge into the water. The drones will just fly over the player's head.
• If the player use a glitch they can disable all four Hellfire Turrets and board the airship without having to regroup with Echo.
  • Another glitch will kill Warner, Capelli and Hawthorne and the player can use their weapons.
• Route Whiskey is most probably, judging by the location and the way the player travel through the game, Bald Hills Road in real life.
• Sometimes Warner and Capelli will get stuck in the Warehouse and will take some time getting out. Don't restart or anything just carry on and they will eventually catch up.
• Black Ops 4 sounds almost similar to Capelli. They could be in fact be voiced by the same voice actor.
• In the ambush there are 23 Trucks full of black ops, if each truck has from 6-10 men, that means there are anywhere from 138-230 black ops. When the gameplay starts, and after all the fighting, there are only 35 black ops corpses, This leaves a large part of victor company still alive, and probably with echo team, or being led by Victor Three, or dead, but not found anywhere.
• Orick was originally going to be Scotia but just before Resistance 2 was going to be released in North America, Insomniac Games realized that Scotia was a copyrighted town owned by the Pacific Lumber Company so they changed it to Orick, a town in the same county.
• There are areas in this game where players can instantly get killed by an enemy in the player's vicinity.
  • In the lumberyard, running straight up to the Hellfire turrets even with an Auger Mark II shield can still cause instant death.
  • Killing or running into the Chameleon that kills the last Black Ops soldier will result as instant death.
• In Orick there was a good increase compared to the first two levels in terms of the player being able to destroy and interact with the scenery, although some of them also appear in the other two, in this one it is possible to mention several.
  • Car: Explosion of cars with flames after exploding, glass breaking of cars, cars with black and white tires can be punctured, lifting of the hood/trunk and doors of some cars when shooting, possibility of shooting against the lights on top of the roof of the cars and the same come out without damaging the car itself.
  • Wood: Breakage of wooden benches, breakage of small wooden table, breakage of radios, break of wooden tv screen with spark and smoke at the end, breakage of wooden chairs.
  • Others: Breakage of chimera cocoons, breakage of glass in the scenery, breakage of ceiling lamps when turned on and without protection, it is possible to go up and down the slide if you do it contrary to your purpose.
