BTW, if it is a Mk.I Chronosphere, so it have to have a chance to create a Chrono Vortex, right? And since it can create time-and-space rift, it have to be even more devastating if the Paradox Engine have the same (or similar) flaw (because of rather frequent usage of the Time Freeze, or damaged batteries). Just imagine two great armies get flushed away to another time\dimension just by a simple malfunction in their ace_in_the_hole weapons (I doubt that Rashidi was allowed to take the Chronosphere with him, and I also can't remember any evidence that this device was destroyed after Godsend)

Excellent point. The destruction caused by such vortex could also explain why chrono-tech stopped being a thing after the Mental Omega War...

I'm predicting this on the last missions. In "Death's Hand," Soviet forces will retake Russia from Yuri. The mission was a success until "it" launches a missile to your location. All or MOST of Russia has been DESTROYED by it. In "Hamartia," the setting will take place in Antarctica. Your mission is to capture a very mysterious device, and prevent it from activating. The capture was a success. However, this was Yuri's plan all along. The device itself has activated a countdown. Followed by "Babel," where Epsilon forces will defend the device from the Allies, and somewhat remnants of Soviet forces who escaped from the wrath of the Death's Hand, and wanting revenge. There are massive casualties on ALL sides. Then, after a long battle, the device has been activated. Many commanders, proselytes were lost in battle alongside with some of their equipment including the Allies' Mirage Tank.

 

I'm still predicting that Scorpion Cell will betray Yuri once they have known Yuri's ultimate plan.

So any idea if this is the real deal or no?

According to my intelligence department, only SC's part is true so far. Not much info about the Soviet's side tho

[lovalmidas]

Is your intelligence department powered by the Allies. If so, watch out.

The biggest problem now is: what is Politburo going to do with the Chinese? The Soviets surely don't have enough manpower to repel another Dragonstorm, but on the other hand though, given the fact, that they can afford the trip to the Moon, they will somehow handle them, but how?

There is still a chance that the main China branch will not punish LC and Russia for dealing with betrayers (since they were not involved in the peace act, signed in the Juggernaut, so technically they are betrayers, not the player's army). Also, this high-tech Chinese army was destroyed, so China have lost their way to have army bigger and stronger than LC and Russia have (but on the other hand, all Soviet forces have suffered big losses by this internal conflict).

[Janusz Olender]

Maybe you got the point, but we have to remember, that, after all,they stormed the Shanghai and intended to betray them, and China is still the most populated country in the world, able to mobilise huge armies, and at least half of Russian Army is brainwashed right now.

And there is still matter with that Cyborg Boris calling Dybbuks... perhaps Yuri managed to acquire some cybernetic anyways(and put Boris' body in Cloning Vats after Bleed Red).

This is unreleased content, so it cannot be tied with storyline in any way (until its release)

[Janusz Olender]

Yes, but it exists in game files, probably for a reason.

Cyborg Boris? :o 

[Janusz Olender]

Yes, you can test him on the Zoo map, available somewhere in this forum. Curiously, he seems to be armed with Dissolver beam, but is affected by Overcharge.

Lots of things exist in the game files but aren't used, and most likely might never be used. It could be a scrapped plot point that won't be used.

I was under the impression that with 

Spoiler

Yunru gone, and the Centurion's status unknown, AND a lot of research and weapons installations torn up by the Russians over the past few missions,

the Chinese are on the wane.

With the loss of much of the Motherland the Russians are also on the wane, and Chinese still vastly outnumber them.

[isaac103]

So we could potentially see another Dragonstorm type mission appear?

Well, my guess is, that Russian and Confeds will gain the upper hand anyway, but once the Moscow is recaptured, the Mental Omega is actived, so the Politburo will somehow handle the situation with Chinese. If the Chinese actually stormed them, they would be doomed.

Chinese on the wane? The US has been on the wane for the longest time. All that you did for the Allies for Act One may be for naught. xD
