This theme has been viewed as controversial by some , especially as '' Oil Rush '' was originally intended to be released only a little more than a year after the much publicized Deepwater Horizon oil spill . The game itself actually delivers an environmental warning message , with Unigine 's CEO Denis Shergin commenting that " Fuel devouring armies that fight over the last drops of oil and pollute already trashed world is nothing but doublethink . That is a warning environmental message we 'd like to deliver in a single-player campaign . " In '' Oil Rush '' , the player is shown the viewpoint and story of Kevin , a recent graduate and serviceman , following in his father 's footsteps who has recently died . He is almost immediately tasked by The Commander to suppress a rebel faction , The Raiders , who are trying to take control of the oil rigs in the army 's possession . Now in control of a fleet of combat units , an in-game guidance PDA issues the player basic instructions to help learn how to complete the set of objectives they are assigned , such as deploying only 25 percent of the combat units , production of armed defense units on oil rigs in your control , and dividing forces into groups to attack opposing rigs simultaneously
