Most of the time, ADVENT forces tend to attack the nearest target.For triple irony, in the last mission, the Avatar can teleport itself into its own rifts.Bonus irony when a Codex Clone itself spawns in the rift.A common occurrence is when a Stun Lancer charges into a Codex's delayed-action rift or an Archon bombardment, takes a swing, and then gets blown up by the attack at the beginning of the next Alien Phase. It's not unheard of for the enemy to kill one of their own trying to kill your forces, usually due to a charged/AoE attack.In the same vein, occassionaly cars and terrain features will explode after some larger aliens romp through a structure.After some firefights, the rather sad state of the facility may make players question if they really need to use the plastic explosives they've brought along for the job. It is quite funny when it happens in the Avatar facilities.The shape and animation of the Andromedon instantly conjures up thoughts of the Kool-Aid Man: "OH YEAH!!" Sometimes the first indication of an Andromedon on a mission is when it comes bursting through a wall.This counts as completing that objective, making your life much easier. In a Disabled UFO mission, an Andromedon, in an attempt to charge towards your squad, can destroy the emergency beacon meant to call alien reinforcements to their position.Often they do more damage to their base just idling patrolling than an entire firefight usually does. After a particularly intense mission, the screen will zoom out to show a city block that's been half-demolished, which gets funnier if it was for a type of mission that rewards keeping concealed for as long as possible.
Solomon, of course, gleefully invokes Say My Name at every opportunity.
Theodore "Sweetpea" Rumblebottom, and "PSI Operative" reveal video shows off a Magus (that is, a Colonel-tier Psi Operative) with a full arsenal of powerful abilities. The "ADVENT Blacksite" preview, for instance, features the heroic exploits of the purple-and-gold-clad Sgt. The creative team ( especially Jake Solomon) has had a great deal of fun while releasing new gameplay footage, especially when it comes to showing off the customization features.The guys joke that Ryan joined the other team and somehow found a way to kill them all anyway.
Down to only two men, Ryan gets mind-controlled and chops Jack in half with his machete.
