Battle Beach Hack
The Cryobomb explodes upon contact with the battlefield, freezing all buildings and troops over a large area as well as dealing a small amount of damage and setting off all types of Mines within it. The damage and speed penalty is the same at all Armory levels.

The Super Warrior places a supercharged Warrior onto the battlefield, similar to one released by a Super Soldier Vat once seen on the Mega Crab. Said Warrior will have increased health and damage, and will also freeze buildings that it hits with a similar effect to the Cryoneer.
The Speed Serum explodes upon contact with the battlefield, releasing a blast that increases the speed of all troops as well as all buildings around it, but also decreases the damage output; nonetheless, affected individuals have increased DPS as the speed increase overrides the damage penalty. Its effect is the same at all Armory levels.
"Some stolen technology from Dr T's laboratories resulted in the creation of the deployable turret. Fire the small turret into the battlefield and watch it sit tight and obliterate the enemy."
The Deployable Turret can be fired anywhere onto the battlefield. It is a stationary turret that fires at buildings. They can be used as meatshields to distract enemy defenses like critters, but aren't great for damaging enemies due to their low DPS.
"Launch the Remote Hack at a defensive building to hack it and turn it against other defenses for a duration. Once the hacking effect expires, the building is stunned for a time. Does not work on resource or HQ buildings."
The Remote Hack takes control of a single defense on the battlefield. It functions similarly to the Universal Remote used by Cpt. Everspark, however with a few differences - The Remote Hack can control Prototype Defenses, the MMG 9000 or Super Mortar 3000, but does not provide a damage bonus to any defense. Also, contrary to its description, it will not stun the bulding after expiration. As stated in the description, the Remote Hack doesn't affect resource buildings and the Headquarters, but this also extends to any building that doesn't inflict damage, such as the Damage Amplifier, Shield Generator, or any defense being upgraded. Armory level determines its duration.
Segovia, visibly pleased, pulls a thick notebook out of the rickety desk drawer and begins to flip through it. Comic book-style sketches of planes, tanks and battle scenes parade triumphantly, albeit chaotically, over the pages.
I have had the occasion to search for available statistics over the internet regarding World War II and have discovered that the Battle for Luzon is commonly and, unfortunately, overlooked by the public when we recall World War II. Luzon was the second largest battle of the Pacific, surpassed, only by Okinawa.
Casualties on the British beaches were roughly 1000 on Gold Beach and the same number on Sword Beach. The remainder of the British losses were amongst the airborne troops: some 600 were killed or wounded, and 600 more were missing; 100 glider pilots also became casualties. The losses of 3rd Canadian Division at Juno Beach have been given as 340 killed, 574 wounded and 47 taken prisoner.
The Battle of Okinawa, fought on the island of Okinawa in the Ryukyu Islands (south of the four big islands of Japan) was the largest amphibious assault during the Pacific campaign of World War II. (In which over 60,000 troops were involved in the landing). [ Statement does not seem to be accurate if compared with Luzon] It was noted as the largest sea-land-air battle in history, running from April through June, 1945.
However, if we objectively examine the Pacific Theater of operations during World War II, the Battles for Okinawa and Luzon rank #1 and #2, respectively, for the shear size of the operations and the loss in terms of casualties. Certainly, Iwo Jima and Guadacanal were significant and horrific battles, but they tend to overshadow even Okinawa and Luzon in our imagination as if the two never existed.
The symbol of the Pacific continues to be the raising of the flag on Mt. Surabachi on Iwo Jima where 70,000 Marines landed and suffered over 26,000 casualties of which 5,521 were killed in action; or it tends to be the Guadalcanal campaign in which there were a total of only 5,775 casualties, of which 1,592 were killed in action (1,042 Marines and 550 US Army soldiers). Yet even if we combine these two campaigns, they represent significantly fewer casualties compared with either the battles of Luzon or Okinawa.
The deaths of the infantry were three times more than any branch of service. Thats why the infantry metal was given to infantry only. My dad fought in the pacific and i wittnessed all my life what fighting those battles did to him. The nightmares never stopped.
For the Invasion of France the allied forces had a secure base in Great Britain. This provided secure bases for tactical and strategic air power. Further more, the English port of Portsmouth was only 150 miles from the landing beaches. Combined with the ingenious improvised port facilities prepared for the landing beaches (only made possible by the limited distance involved) allowed for continuous over the beach logistic once the forces had landed in France.
I am researching the Battle of Luzon as my father, Robert Osborne, U.S. Army, fought in this battle and was awarded a bronze star. My dad, long gone, never spoke about his war experiences. He was also hitching a ride on the USS Quincy 39 when she was sunk. He saved at least two mens lives afterthe sinking.I would love to hear from anyone else who is searching this battle. Thank-you.

I totally agree with the concern of this forgotten portion of the most significant battle of the pacific. Japans greatest general set up the defenses of the island, as he moved his troops into the mountains. It took several months and many hills to proceed and capture yamashita in bagio. Read about the battle of bench mark and question mark hill. This is a sample of the horrific fighting carried out by the American army. You can also read the account by lt. kennedy who said the rosary everyday of this battle. lt. kennedy later became a prist.
why is it what when people talk about these battle they never tell of the largest battleship that ever sailed. the yamato was part of okinawa. but no one ever told of it. the army had set up 5 of its battleships to fight it if the air attacks didnt work. its own sinking was more then canda loss on day its lose over 2000 sailers with only anout 20 left.
Does anyone know my father, an army soldier in the Luzon battle? His name is John E. Powers from Ohio.Why has there not been a movie made about the historical event? It is a shame that so many gave so much and history shows no respect to their efforts.Thank you, Jeff Powers Swanton, Ohio
The liberation of the philippines has far more significance in world war 2 because, not only one of the largest land battle fought by the american soldiers (In Luzon) but also the greatest naval battle in history (Battle of Leyte Gulf)
My grandpa Phinneys was with the 11th airborne and helped fight this battle. I also would like to see more recognition for our boys who so willingly gave their lives there. My grandpa made it out alive and that made it possible for me to be here and to be privy of the storie
I have been disappointed with how little narrative history there is on the battle for Northern Luzon relative to other aspects of the war in the Pacific. My father, Laird Wilcox, Jr., 37th Infantry Division, 129th Infantry Regiment, was wounded on 7 June 1945 during the drive up the Cagayan Valley. He had participated in the liberation of Baguio prior to that.
Very little has been written about the battle for Luzon after the fall of Manila, although the bettle continued for a couple of months. What little I have found is in division and regiment histories and is cursory and bried. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate hearing from them.
The reason barely anyone has heard of battles like Luzon (or knows much about the Philippines Campaign in general) is in part due to to the emphasis put on the European Theater and because it was an Army battle.
My father was a medic in four battles in New Guinea, Philippines and Luzon. He never fully recovered from what he saw. We have pictures of him and his buddies. His awards are listed on his discharge papers

While I do think the Stealth 700 has an edge in the audio department, my unit has become faulty over time, degrading the signal strength to the point where the audio profile is impacted. During the heat of battle it's less noticeable, but all those details which would have shined above the Xbox Wireless Headset previously no longer do. Additionally, the Xbox Wireless Headset has superior handling when it comes to Bluetooth sound mixing. I really feel like the antennas on the Stealth 700 interfere with each other, causing degradation when Bluetooth is in use. Bluetooth is awful in general, but the Xbox Wireless Headset feels like it performs better in this area.
Finish her off as soon as she gets back on the ground. Scan the film set in the café, the bride and groom, the crew members, and then turn left from the balcony. You will find the last shard near the female corpse down on the beach.

Before long they could hear the hack-hack-hack ofaxes falling on timber, though they could see nothingyet because there was a rise of the ground in front ofthem. When they had reached the top of it they couldsee right into Lantern Waste itself. And the King's faceturned white when he saw it.
