Corporal Michael Thompson is a Washington National Guardsman who is seen trying to find his unit with Anton Carino during the Soviet invasion of Seattle. He is seen carrying a portable CD player which he has trouble finding batteries for.

Background[]

Thompson works as a bricklayer in his civilian life and is an avid smoker with a pack of cigarettes fastened in his helmet band. He was best friends with Carino since high school. He was recently divorced; his ex-wife has moved to Chicago.[1][3]

Biography[]

Thompson, along with Carino, were absorbed into Colonel Sawyer's Fifth Supply Battalion during the invasion of Seattle.[4] Thompson fought in every major combat mission with that battalion, including the Cascade Falls battle. A few hours after the nuclear weapon detonated in Cascade Falls, US and Soviet forces alike scattered across the countryside. The battalion managed to successfully repel a Soviet counter-attack and regroup with each other; Thompson was found by Carino on a Blackhawk, slightly wounded.

Thompson also took part in taking back Seattle, during which he tried to contact his mother to get out of the city as it would be nuked if it was failed to be retaken.[2] After the Soviets were pushed back, Thompson finally found some batteries for his CD player so he and Carino could listen to the music.[5]

Trivia[]

  • Throughout the in-game cutscenes and cinematics, he is seen carrying the early model of the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon; this is because the US military would have recently adopted the M249 and the first models were different to modern M249s, especially the buttstock and the handgrip.
