I wonder, if the Allies are aware of the Soviet Psychic Amplifier in Chicago, as they're planning the counterattack in Americas. Even if they are, its destruction by chrono assault may be catastrophic, since it will free Epsilon out of Detroit and let them renew their rampage across the continent.

[StolenTech]

at what point did they state that they are going to retake the Americas ? the end briefing of relentless clearly stated that they are headed to the Antarctic to fight Yuri's main stronghold.

In debriefing of "Paranoia"/

Without this Amplifier, Yuri will no longer be able to steal the Weather Controller and use it against the Paradox Engine. The counterattack in the Americas will soon begin. We have also located a formidable Epsilon base near the Engine's current location.

Perhaps they will change their plans right now, especially given the fact, that Allies are probably outnumbered both by Epsilon and Soviets.

[Handepsilon]

I believe they're referring to Hypothermia

[lovalmidas]

Plot twist - Antartica is in the way of getting into America.

The Allies do seem to be focusing on Epsilon, compared to the Soviets and their infighting.  I assume they simply recognise that Yuri is the bigger threat, and if they don't take his forces out then there won't be any point in trying to retake their lost territory.  They've already had first hand experience of his long range mind control; a surgical strike while they still have a powerful force available (size-of-a-city Paradox Engine and its passengers) probably seems to be a better bet than getting distracted and having what's left of them nibbled away piece by piece... and they're probably worried about another Irkalla-out-of-nowhere incident as well.

 

The Soviets use (MOre) conventional tactics and technology, they can wait.

 

But, I do expect that Psychic Amplifier to become important somehow.  Could the Soviets somehow modify it to try for a long range grab at Death's Hand?  (Going on that previous theory that it's Yuri's weapon.)  Grab it, attempt to use it for a last ditch strike against the Mental Omega perhaps?

Thing is, where is Death's Hand at?

[UNSC THE CHILL OF WAR]

I think that at the end of each campaign, each faction will win, cos if the allieds lose on the last mission, everything you have done in the last 24 missions will be for nothing (devs "thanks for laying our game"). Really, the only victory's the allieds have is stopping the production of the MIDAS and build the paradox engine and weather controller.


Also we need controllable iron dragons in the soviet campaign.

\Thing is, where is Death's Hand at?

 Probably somewhere in Russia, perhaps even in Moscow, since the USSR is seemingly PsiCorps' current base of operations.

Actually, I think all of the factions will lose.

 

Only Foehn will win. Maybe.

Nah, Epsilon MUST win this war, even though it probably will only by small margin. Otherwise, there would be no place for Foehn.

Given the fact the Foehn campaign will probably happen after the three of the other factions, Epsilon can win its campaign... Right before Foehn's campaign and victory, which would ironically make them the one force to unify mankind's remnants, right like Yuri wanted, except ehre would be no mind control.

[StolenTech]

let's think about it this way : 
what do all factions want to accomplish in the end ? to conquer all of their opponents.
and what do we know for certain will happen ? Foehn will emerge out of the remnants of the Allies and Soviets.

so the ending may not be the actual "victory" they would've hoped for where they just win a glorious battle.

what if the ending of the soviets and allies is them banding together against epsilon to form the Foehn revolt (can be a holdout mission or whatever, like how Sunlight in Act1 ended) while the epsilon's campaign ending will be crushing what remains of the allies and soviets making them "obsolete".

Yunru: I am for peace! (designs Nuwa cannon of peace)

 

Yunru: I just want peace... Oh, hi Chronosphere, let me reconfigure you.

 

Yunru: I'd like to perform an inspection of Volkov's body, for research, yes, research... and yes, I am still for peace.
 

Yunru: I am for peace, everyone doesn't seem to like peace. I think I need to get my motherland to hide my elements of peace from her friends.
 

Yunru: HOW DARE YOU TRY TO TAKE MY HOME. I NUKE YOU.

 

...

Yunru seems to be on the right path to become a conqueror 'Gandhi' herself. All hope may be lost.

Also, don't touch Yunru's Mainframe or her ​research. She'd nuke you. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Yunru is a faction ?

fifth faction confirmed!!!

[lovalmidas]

She might as well be. Her brain is a T3 structure by itself.

Well, Yunru seems to be Foehn, so yes. She's a faction. :V
