Pretty sure I've played every single one of the terminator video games and i can not think of a single game where humans work with skynet. Get used by skynet? Sure.

If you have played Terminator: Resistance when the Commander is telling you her backstory she talks about how Skynet captured her and gave her to a collaborator for various unpleasant purposes. Yes, it's just part of the lore you don't actually see it but it is in the game

The issue is that its still humans being used by skynet. They help run the concentration camp akin to real-life examples of that horrible thing. They still got the bullet\plasma to the head at the end of it. Skynet didn't have human squads running around capturing humans.

Exactly how I think it would go down, people in general are selfish and think cruel the devs nailed it. You might not like looking into the mirror but its true.

xd the stupidity of the writing there is so bad. The cartel making a deal with the terminators? on what planet would they live long enough?

have you seen humanity doing shortsighted stuff like that is on brand.

In the comics Skynet did have human bounty hunters running around capturing other humans

I don't mind having missions focused around human enemies like the Cartel, but the difficulty of the missions is absurd. The game openly encourages you to make do with smaller forces to save supplies, the tutorials encourage you to disband excess units and sell excess equipment. So when you are forced to fight hundreds of enemies and vehicles in these heavily scripted missions where one wrong move means a restart, the game losses it fun factor and just becomes a slog. I just want these missions to end so I can get back to fighting Legion. You clearly need a large and powerful force with heavy weapons to beat the cartel missions, but the game doesn't really allow that. I like this game a lot but cannot fathom how these missions made it through play-testing without anyone mentioning these issues. I have spent two whole days just trying to complete these two missions on normal difficulty! I've been playing RTS and tactical games for over 20 years and have never struggled like this before. I hope the devs see how many people are failing to enjoy these missions and work to either rebalance them completely or overhaul the supply usage of units to allow you to bring much larger forces to bear.

I finished the Chihuahua mission with the first units you call in at the start because i didnt realise you could call reinforcements the entire time.

but if i did figure it out earlier i wouldnt have had to suffer through the entire thing so much lol it would have been a cake walk

Dude...I am at the very end of this mission and I didn't know that as well lol, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥...

Technically I'm moving the goalposts here but weren't a lot of these human squads also composed of cyborgs and even still it feels odd for the game to have you're biggest threat being 1000s of humans when its clear that legion already has its production up.

Man I hate that they went with the name Legion to replace skynet.

Legion is kind of Skynet's replacement. Off-universe I suppose the name had copyright issues. If this game wasn't by Slytherine I would not have touched it.

It's the lore from last Terminator movie, lol. Skynet didn't happen, John Konnor was killed still by T800 (don't ask), timeline changed, humans created another AI called Legion, which sent not T-series, but Rev-series cyborg... bla-bla-bla... Cameron was clearly on drugs, when writing this.

I just realized how unclear my answer was. Jesus, lol. I meant copyright issues between the movies, not specific to the game. My bad.

No. That show isn't even part of this timeline. Also its not very good.

STILL doesn't change the face that there was humans working for/with the machines even if it was skynet,,, or the other company (which by the way how do you know wasnt legion),

dark fates lore was
legion was made by an unknown company during an unknown time.

my point was basically that OG said what was the devs thinking making us fight other humans,,,,,

as if they have never seen played or watched a post end of the world story.....
humans will always fight other humains for stuff they went that they dont have...

and as for humans working with legion.... why not.... as i said SCC had the greys aswell as the other humans taht worked with them "the 3 dot people"

[pRaX]

They kinda always do this almost no matter the franchise.
Same stuff with the Alien/s franchise games.

So… ok… so they looked at the TIME TRAVEL STORY about going back to a specific point in time to stop the machines from taking over by destroying a specific company at a specific time… and… just decided to make the new company unknown and its unknown when they did what they did… ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ this writing is indefensible. The devs should’ve just ignored that trash fire movie.
