On board, members of team Alpha; Sam "Serious" Stone , Rodriguez , Jones and another soldier are en route to Cairo , which was abandoned and overrun by Mental's forces during the invasion. As the helicopter makes it way towards Cairo, a large plume of sand erupts from the ground, where a large creature attempts to devour the helicopter. Luckily, Miller and the co-pilot manage to avoid it in time. Annoyed by the sudden events, Rodriguez complains about how today is his birthday, impatiently stating that he should be snorting coke off a stripper's butt instead of being on an important mission.

With the chopper getting closer to the city, Sam reports that team Bravo were protecting a scientist in an old museum in Cairo, but they lost contact with HQ at around hours. Rodriguez seems unhappy about the plan, seeing how Mental is slowly wiping out all life on Earth while he and his team have been ordered to protect a museum. Sam says that the guy they're looking for has important information about powering up the Time-Lock.

The helicopter approaches the ruins of Cairo, but soon after they get into the city, a volley of rockets attempt to hit the helicopter. As the helicopter dodges the missiles, Sam is left hanging over the side as he wasn't wearing his seatbelt. After many desperate attempts to evade the rockets, one of them hits the tail of the Black Hawk and Sam is sent flinging out of it and far from his squad.

After recovering from his fall, Sam sees that he has landed on the roof of a building below and his helicopter has crashed. Sam gets in contact with Earth Defense Force intelligence officer Quinn , who asks how about the current status of the helicopter. Soon after, Rodriguez calls back, confirming he's alive and comedically berates Sam for not wearing his seatbelt.

After a little snip from Sam, Rodriguez tells them that they're at the museum and that Sam needs to get his ass in gear. Sam starts fighting through the city while only armed with a sledgehammer and his bare hands. Along the way, he gets a call from Jones , who tries to tell him something, but a Beheaded Kamikaze detonates in the background which cuts him off and ends the call.

Sam continues his fight through the city, and acquires a SOP38 Pistol along the way. When Sam reaches the plaza near the museum, he comes across the remains of the helicopter wreckage and the mutilated remains of his team. He calls Quinn and reports this, only to be set upon by more of Mental's forces. Afterwards, he makes his way to the museum alone. After entering the museum, HQ informs Sam that Stein has important information, but will not give it to the Earth Defense Force until he is rescued from the museum.

Sam makes another quip and goes to rescue him. However, after fighting through the museum, Sam finds Stein has been brutally killed by the monsters inside, only finding his severed hand with his phone still held. His cell phone is still intact, so he grabs it and uploads the data on it to headquarters, then requests a helicopter to get him out of Cairo.

With his main objective completed, Sam travels back through the basement to the surface. Right before he tries to leave, an Adult Arachnoid confronts him outside, leading to a long battle that ultimately results in Sam's victory. After exiting the museum, Sam is called by the helicopter pilot, Garret. He offers to extract Sam from the city, but requests he make his way to the nearby mosque, as it's the only safe place to land.

Sam reaches the center of the mosque and clears it out, but before the helicopter can land, a Major Bio-mechanoid shoots down Garret's chopper and engages Sam in another fight, in which he kills the cyborg.

Afterwards, he calls and tells HQ what happened and states that he's going to see if he can find the crash site and save the pilot. Quinn agrees, and tells Sam that the scientists have analyzed the stone tablets that professor Stein was working on.

From the analysis, they believe that there's a hidden chamber underneath The Great Pyramid. Sam continues to fight through the ruined city and reaches the crash site. He tells HQ that he's found the helicopter.

Before he can get a good look at it as he's approaching, an unknown creature falls from the sky and impacts the helicopter's wreckage, turning it into a Technopolip that immediately lifts off and begins to attack Sam.

Lacking any sort of explosive weapon to breach the helicopter's armor, he runs past it and enters a part of town that is filled with minigun turrets. He deactivates them while avoiding fire from the helicopter and the enemies that have been teleported in to stop him. After shutting down all of the turrets and making his way through the maze of streets, Sam finally finds a XPML21 Rocket Launcher and an ammunition crate loaded with rockets near a gate.

He uses the rocket launcher to destroy the Technopolip. Quinn knows that the explanation is something she doesn't know about, though she then tells Sam they're going to send another helicopter to pick him up and send him to the Great Pyramid in order explore what professor Stein found.

As it's too hot for anyone to land and extract Sam safely without being shot down, Sam refuses the offer, and tells Quinn that he would rather take the "scenic route", by actually walking out of the city on foot. As he walks out, Quinn berates the risky situation that he will be getting himself into, but he cuts her off. After going through the gate, Sam spots a topless woman with bird feet perched on a tall building. Quipping to himself about how apparently 'beautiful' the creature is, the creature hears him and reveals its true, more grotesque face, causing Sam to kill it in disgust.

Soon after, more appear that are perched on ruined buildings. Sam kills them all, along with some other creatures that have appeared. He gets near an overpass, and decides to transform it into a shortcut by tossing C-4 charges on its support pillars.

He blows the pillars up, creating a ramp onto said overpass and a shortcut over much of the city. Quinn asks what the hell he's doing, but he just replies with a cocky response. Sam continues his fight through the city, and eventually reaches a very large field filled with supplies.

After killing more Harpies and other enemies, an Alcor Class Warship warps into the air over the ruined area and begins attacking Sam, beaming down many enemies and firing a large scorcher beam along the ground as it flies over. He eventually manages to critically damage the ship by firing into the hatches that open each times it beams down an enemy.

After the ship has taken enough damage, it flies away to avoid destruction. After another quip, he calls HQ and tells them that just fought off an Alcor Class Warship and that he's found transportation to the Great Pyramid; an old car. Quinn tells him that they believe the Great Sphinx has a clue to figuring out what they need to discover and that it's hiding something. Sam says he'll go over there and disconnects. He then hops into the car and drives off. Sam drives to a slum located near the Great Pyramid of Giza , and is contacted by Quinn.

She tells him that the researchers at headquarters are trying to figure out a riddle that Stein found that relates to opening up the Sphinx.

Sam, disinterested, then disconnects and fights through the slum to eventually reaches the ruins near the Great Pyramid. After fighting though the ruins, he finds the Sphinx. Sam calls HQ and sees if they've made any progress as to how to enter the Sphinx. Quinn says they're still working on it, so Sam tells her he's going to use his "Plan B," which turns out to be utilizing the nearby C-4 crates to strap the timeless Grand Sphinx with C After calling HQ to check if they've solved the riddle one more time, which they haven't, he unhesitatingly detonates the C-4, causing the sandstone statue to crumble and reveal a secret passage in the ground, much to the chagrin of Quinn and the rest of HQ.

After going through the hole, Sam finds several traps that were set up to prevent intruders from entering. He manages to get past them, and starts traveling through a very long hall. At the end of it, he ends up in a room with pillars in it that has a metallic hallway in it. Unfortunately, the hallway has a door that's impossible to open, so he looks around to see if there's a way to open it.

Hidden in the pillar room is another room that has a large alien mummy with a strange device on its left wrist. Sam picks up the device on to see what it does. He walks back to the door, and the device opens the door. Past the door is an elevator that leads to a gigantic room with a hologram of Karnak and Luxor on it.

Sam contacts HQ about it uploads some pictures of it, along with uploading data in the map. HQ then tells Sam that he should leave the pyramid because there's a helicopter arranged to get him out. He then finds another door on the other side of the room and rides it down. It leads to more ruins, but a Beheaded Rocketeer is waiting for him. Sam discovers that the Sirian Mutilator can be used as a weapon, and uses a beam it fires to decapitate the Rocketeer. He then leaves the pyramid through a small shaft.

When he gets out he finds that he's at a large field that's past the Sphinx he destroyed. However, a large group of enemies, including sever Major Bio-mechanoids, attack. When they're all dead, his transport helicopter appears.
