EDIT: it's a long read... I know this.
What happened to North America?
Do you think they will provide an expansion pack that focuses on the Americas. If so where would it be set? Texas, Florida, Mexico or Central/South America?
Which armies would fight would there be a coalition of South/Central/Mexican troops fighting The US and Canada?

I've done a little fantasizing and this is what I have come up with.
2050; The Greenland icecap and the southern ice fields melt causing massive amounts of co2 to be released into the atmosphere, global panic is at it's highest in years, sudden weather shifts and sea rise cause coastal areas to flood while Canadians start massive immigrations through the northern border of the US.
2051; to stem the tide of immigrants and protect the US's borders the president declares the northern border a demilitarized zone. Reports of immigrants being shoved into camps and starving to death sparks global debate. The UN gives the US an ultimatum to open it's borders or suffer trade embargo's.
2052; The US still hasn't reopened it's borders, and with reports of sub-arctic temperatures reaching as far south as Regina, trade sanctions have begun to have a toll on the poorest classes of people, and even some of what we now know as the middle class are effected.
2059; The nation of Canada is now nothing more than ice and snow, the communities that still exist are mostly subsistence poachers, and reports of cannibalism are on the rise.
2063; The northern most states are almost completely gone now, giant steel cities now are encased in ice. Monuments to man's triumph, and eventual defeat by the very force they tried to control.
2069; US government fails, rise in violence and crimes in the giant acropolises that now account for most of the living space in the former United states.
2072; Military might has brought control back into the hands of the government new technologies have allowed for better police control.
2083; As the ice continues to push south, many coastal cities rise from the depth of the seas 33 years after they sunk into the sea, political dissidents move to these new refuges to escape police brutality and form militias. The military controlled government launches a large scale campaign to contain the growing dissident population of these newly dubbed "Atlantises".
2099; The US military regime accuses the EU of supplying dissidents with technologies. EU Denys everything, citing their troubles with the newly formed PAC.
2103; After years of fighting the Atlantean insurgents and US military dictatorship come to an uneasy truce. Secretly the US has set their sites on a target they see as more necessary to keeping their power centralized.
2113; After many years of research the first prototype titan ship is unveiled in the EU, and is swiftly copied by the US/and what now has become the CAMF (Central America Mexican Federation).
2130; Escalation on both sides of the border is very high, the CAMF realizing that it has some of the only farming land available in the Americas has put it's soldiers on high alert.
2134; Small conflicts involving civilians and CAMF soldiers mirroring the horrors of the 2050s ensue, the US military dictatorship issues a statement saying that the CAMF unlawfully used force on its citizens. Years of posturing and political attacks ensue.
2040; the first real military skirmish begins on December 12th, and is ironically named "The Cold War"
2141; Fleets of titans are spotted on both sides of the US/CAMF border. Dissidents in the former Atlantises begin to attack military and economic targets with increasing frequency.
2142; the present.

Okay it's a little rough, if anyone has the time or motivation, collaborate and add some detail to my story, or do a completely alternate version.
