Helpfully, he also gains infinite ammo when going solo, so it’s a worthwhile tactic. Gunnar gets placed into the main weapon of Rogue, gaining a couple of cool new abilities, including being able to be deployed as a sentry gun so he can attack enemies at his own discretion. Maybe Bagman was good at packing?Īs the game progresses, the three members of the squad die in various unpleasant ways, and luckily each time Rogue is there to retrieve the biochips. Rogue’s friends/squadmates are Gunnar, as he showed aptitude in marksmanship, but that doesn’t really explain the other two members of the squad – Bagman and Helm. When a GI is created, he isn’t issued with a name, only a number, but he is given a nickname when his talents become obvious and their training progresses. The only way to keep the chip “alive” until a new body can be found is to insert it into a piece of equipment that the GIs carry, which will maintain them over time. The big plot device is that when a GI dies, his personality is downloaded onto a biochip, which allows the same soldier to be created in a new body. Rogue is a Genetic Infantryman, or GI – a genetically manipulated, blue skinned super soldier, bred to be immune to all poisons and therefore be able to survive on the surface of the irradiated Nu-Earth, where everyone else would be killed by the air in moments. Second of all, I feel I can’t pass up the opportunity to give some background about the source material that the game is based on.
