Characters
These are the characters that you will see when you are either playing in single player. President
Dugan
Commander, we present the president of the United States: a no-nonsense leader who knows that sound bites and TV-ready charm will only take him so far. Underneath, he's blazingly indignant at the Soviet onslaught, and his reactionary tendencies - often skewered in the press - just might be an asset in the face of the Russian invasion. General
Carville
Sure, he's a cheery, salt-of-the-earth type in peacetime, but with the Soviets romping on America's doorstep, he's as mad as a bull with a burr in his ass. The colourful Texan is the U.S. military's highest-ranking officer, and he's earned it; his battlefield experience and wisdom are garnered from a life on the front lines. But even in the blood and blaze of war, General Carville still manages to keep his Texas-sized brand of humour. Lieutenant
Eva
Even in the theatre of war, Lieutenant Eva's dry wit is as unmistakable as the rattle of gunfire. But don't let her coolness deceive you; the ever-loyal Eva, Allied Intel officer, is America's team mom, using her extensive knowledge of Soviet tactics and technology to apprise commanders of the what, where and how of the imminent Russian invasion. As part of official protocol, she'll relay battlefield intelligence, new developments, and moral support. But don't expect her to issue hugs. Tanya
Her cynical attitude and brusque manner would've gotten her booted from the U.S. military years ago if the loud and proud Tanya wasn't as tough on the battlefield as she talks in the barracks. The Allied Special Forces commando - with a body as hard as a mortar shell - does have a few soft spots, though; take out enough Soviet installations and she might just have a kind word or two. Hey, if you want unconditional love, get a puppy. Premier
Romanov
Looking like Father Time himself, Romanov harbours age-old grudges and dreams of paybacks long overdue. Still nursing his wounds over the fall of the original Soviet Union, the obsessive Romanov has vowed to make America pay for its historic crimes against Mother Russia. His charisma is deceptive, his tactics are underhanded, and his master-plan for the United States is driven by nothing less than megalomania. Everywhere he looks, Romanov sees red. Lieutenant
Zofia
The
Soviet communications officer is Romanov's right-hand woman as well as
de-facto guidance counsellor on the battlefield. Her aloof bearing hides
an undying loyalty to the communist machine, which comes through in her
cool, professional, methodical manner of overseeing the invasion of the
United States. Yuri
Biological
enhancements to his cerebral cortex have given Yuri, the Soviet science
advisor and commander of the Psychic Corps, immense psychic power - he can
bend spoons quicker than a Maytag disposal. But he prefers instead to
break wills, using his mental powers to keep his foes and minions in line.
However, the neural improvements have made Yuri more than a bit unstable.
He's every bit as vengeful as Romanov, but ten times as devious and
disturbed. General
Vladimir
Luckily for Vladimir, the Soviet invasion doesn't call for the wholesale destruction of America. After all, tired of the privations of living in a communist state, the stout general of the Soviet invasion forces has grown somewhat fond of America - its drink, its women, its food. Vhat a countree! But that doesn't dampen his enthusiasm for crushing the U.S. military, though some say his boasting far outstrips his deeds on the battlefield. |
