Description
And the last Mental Omega "Side 4" subfaction is.. Haihead. Here's what their skirmish/multiplayer loading screen, NOT-location and flag will look like. The set is now complete. The side will soon be named. News Bulletins will be back shortly after we upload "Moonlight".
Side 4 intel coming soon on our YouTube channel, so why not subscribe? Click: Mentalomega.com

Where the heck are these blokes from? the future???
I think it is some sort of Evil Corporation or Consortium. FutureTech maybe. These sort of enemy often use hi-tech and advanced stuff. They can control resources around the world, sell weapons and stuff etc.
Faction of effective managers who want to take over a world :) Something new for RA and CnC series.
Wasn't the plot of Uprising basically FutureTech trying to take over? I wasn't really paying attention, but if so, that's done already.
Yes. But they were not playable faction.
Nice look. I think that this Faction is the someone from the alternate timeline.
They are specialized on mechas and cyborgs, I guess.
I see F4 subfaction flags are more complicated and detailed than flags of other subfactions, doesn't it look a bit out of coherency?
混乱不堪
Dat distorted USA map.
I think I know where they came from.
First of all - the flag looks awesome! :-) Also - according to dictionaries, Hai in several languages means "Shark". But on the other hand, in Cantonese this is a slang for... ahem... lady privates.
It's obviously the lady parts. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Of course the meaning was of the "shark", im sure :-) But still may sound wrong for some :-)
What if the 4th side is the Americans from the future seething for revenge against all factions for causing it to collapse (Soviet/Epsilon) and leaving it to die (Euro Alliance & Pacific Front).
That's a possibility, but what we know so far from the factions is only that they're time travellers (95% certainty).
This distorted map shows Florida, but I'm not entirely convinced they're just the US.
The trailer shows Side 4 fighting ONLY Soviet and Epsilon. That seems like a strong hint about who they consider their enemies. So the EA and PF probably aren't major targets for Side 4.
I have a certain theory regarding these guys. Goes back to Siegfried's "Paradox" project. What if estimates show that Yuri will win and the only way for free world to survive is to become more machines than human and this is what people in future did? Soviet Cybernetics + Allied tech and there we go - brain uploading. So what if Allies used Chronosphere to peek into the future and contact 4th side for help? And why would they refuse - chance to kick Yuri's butt before its too late is worth everything for them. Hence the name - "Paradox". If they come into past and help free people to win against Yuri, they will erase themselves from existence as well. It also fits into their "not-from-here" feel, like they REALLY do not belong. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
What was the "Paradox" project? Where was that mentioned?
I think this theory is quite reasonable though, it would be logical that the Allies (and maybe Soviets) would invest in cybernetics.
Project "Paradox" was mentioned in Allies campaign. Later missions ending text. Mission 9, as far as i can remember. Oh and cybernetics part - soviet infiltrating soviet battle lab results in... Cyborg :-) Allies doing the same? Why, very robotic\cybernetic sounding Hoplite :-) So they just took it further. Basically how to be human in a machine body. Ghost in the shell stuff (there was ever human mind in a tank, too). Well, this is just a theory anyway. Because i don't recall any specifics to what EXACTLY "Paradox" is, but I'm pretty certain that chronosphere itself is just a tool for it. And, along the way, to make player think that it was the project itself. But it doesn't add up - chronosphere is already operational and Allies were not to much concerned over it's loss.
What is more interesting to me is - will 4th faction be united among itself. After all - ALL factions have turmoil in them. Will 4th be divided, too? I have some theories about that, too. But all just that - speculations, of course :-)
How many acts will there be in Mental Omega again? It seems like it's 2 Acts, but I heard something about more.
With Side 4 coming along, I wonder if there's enough missions to fully flesh out the story. Also, I hope that the final mission for each side is something truly epic, 2.0's finale seemed really lazy in comparison to the rest of the mod. A free-for-all among the four sides in the final mission would be okay, but I'm looking more for story satisfaction.
Wings of Coronia, Last Bastion and Haihead are all S4 sub-factions.
You don't say?
Well Hai in Estonian means shark so hai + head is sharkhead. But in other languanges Hai meaning I don't know but cool flag and nice art work keep up the development of this nice mod.
I see the South of the US Northern china and Mongolia,North Africa,south Africa,Western Mexico and the Caribbean
