Recruiting Rebels and Rebel Allies

[RetroActive]

I want to see some more dynamic and randomised battles between the rebels and government forces. Similar to Red Faction Guerrilla where rebels will come to the player’s aid when attacking government strongholds. I want to be able to recruit heaps of rebels to put into my truck, drive to a military base and let my allies distract the soldiers while I go out destroying the buildings around the base.

It would be so cool to have missions where you need to defend rebel held towns from government attacks or to participate in rebel-led missions which will involve large-scale battles. I want to feel that I am participating in a rebellion and not just as a one man army like the previous Just Cause games.

Rebels will have fighting with the military but it wont be like WW3 in 1 town. For example if you want to take over a police station a bunch of rebels could fight the bad guys there and get it by themselves while you go pull down a statue. Also in one of the gameplay videos you could see the rebels coming in on a boat while the player was destroying a port base and then fighting with a military gunboat

Could you provide a link here to that gameplay video if you can? Thanks.

If the rebels have their own boats then I also wonder if they also have their own aircraft. It would be good if the player can call in rebel support whenever they need additional firepower.

Would love this.

I believe there was also a way to call them shown somewhere

You can call in airstrikes

I agree 100%.

It's really cool being this ultimate badass, fighting whole armies on our own (most of the time), and I wouldn't want that to be taken away in a Just Cause game where we CAN be this ultimate badass and we can do what we want.
But I'd love to see our allies being more fleshed-out feature by being able to call and summon them any time and having upgrades for them like for example bigger, better weapons and more of them. So at the beginning there would be like two of them maybe and they would be carrying pistols, but if we would max them out they would come in with machine guns and rocket launchers, good armor, and there would be an army of them. Maybe they would even come in tanks and choppers or other military vehicles, but that would be a high-tier upgrade of course, so it wouldn't be unbalanced.

Yeah, as the game progresses the rebels grow stronger in numbers and gear.
