The Elites (Faction)

Hey guys! This is an OLD faction I worked on about 10 years ago which I found on one of my old college USB sticks. I never actually got round to releasing them and not everything is 100% finished but there is enough hard work and content here to justify them seeing the light of day. :)

I spent a lot of time back when Cortex Command was new modding in my own weapons and wanted to have a faction that could call these weapons their own so I came up with these guys. The Elites! The Elites are a faction of biologically and technologically enhanced super soldiers. Operating in strict militarized squads they carry out their orders with the goal of seizing whole planets and resources for their rapidly expanding empire.

This Mod Currently Contains:

1 Brain Unit:

The Elite Commander - Tougher than regular Elite Troopers he issues orders to the grunts and carries his own advanced life support system which releases healing nanobots when he is wounded in combat slowly healing him over time.

2 Standard Units:

The Elite Trooper - Geared up and ready for combat. These guys deploy with a side arm and their standard issue SMG. They have thick bulletproof helmets that protect them from headshots and take a fair bit of punishment to break. These helmets feature advanced systems such as targeting protocols and Night/Thermal vision making the trooper a crack shot in any condition.

The Elite Drone - Used for scouting and area denial these drones are powered by a high tech energy core which can become unstable and explode violently when the drone has been damaged. They have a low calibre, low capacity gun on the underside of the drone which keeps them light and allows for calculated attacks from places regular troops may not be able to reach.

14 Weapons:

The Elite Sidearm - Standard Elite sidearm. All Elite Soldiers are issued with one at the barracks and are trained in using this deadly sidearm. Often used as a last resort when all other weapons are out of ammunition this pistol is more than capable of holding its own in a fire fight and can mean the difference of life or death in those types of scenarios. Has an option on the pie menu to duel wield allowing you to use two of these pistols at the same time!

The Elite Grenade Launcher - Used for clearing bunkers from the outside the Elite's Grenade Launcher fires short fused plasma cell grenades which are extremely deadly in confined spaces.

The Elite Mine Deployer - When you need to stop the enemy advancing on your position lay down some mines. This Mine Deployer can quickly turn any open area into a mine field giving enemies a lethal surprise once they get too close.

The Devastator V3.0 Shotgun - This modified shotgun allows the firing of two explosive plasma fire rounds that can devastate close range targets. Because of its small size more experienced troopers can wield it as a single handed weapon allowing it to be used with a shield to create a truly deadly combination.

The Elite SMG - Powerful Sub-Machinegun and standard weapon of choice for The Elite forces. Elite Soldiers are extensively trained in using this simple weapon and so have become increasingly efficient in killing enemy troops with it. Its large magazine and strong build make it the perfect medium ranged weapon.

The Elite Assault Rifle - The Elite Assault Rifle is a powerful upgrade from the SMG. It fires the same type of rounds but can achieve a further range and accuracy. As well as this the rifle also launches Pulse Shock explosive grenades that are more than capable of taking out anything that is missed by the rifle rounds. This new build comes with laser sight to help the user effectively pick off their targets.

The Elite Assault Rifle B - A revision of the standard Elite Assault Rifle. It exchanges the Pulse Shock grenade launcher for a Mid-ranged Flamethrower attachment. This under-barrel attachment is devastating close quarters but can range up to about 12 meters making it ideal for cutting down fleeing/wounded enemies. Paired together with the range and accuracy of the classic assault rifle and it makes for quite a deadly combination.

The Elite Shotgun - This Shotgun is mainly used for close ranged fire fights. It can often be found in the inventory of troopers that are deployed using bunker busters. The powerful rounds it fires rip and rend flesh to put down even the strongest of enemy troops.

The Elite Mortar - The Elites Mortar is a fearsome instrument. It launches compressed shells into the air that then break into a barrage of deadly explosives that fall to the ground. Once these hit the ground they detonate bringing with them a whole world of hurt. Skill and trial and error are needed to use the Mortar to its full potential. When in the right hands this Mortar can easily dispatch enemy ground units with devastating effect.

The Elite Gatling Gun - This Gatling gun is one of The Elites more powerful heavy weapons. It uses large magazines with more than enough rounds to obliterate anything in the remote area and its amazing firepower is unmatched by any other bullet-based weapon The Elites have. Beware of long reload times.

Blitz Cannon - The Blitz Cannon is a truly deadly piece of equipment. It fires a single shell which detonates into many shards of shrapnel and burning plasma partials that then shower the enemy essentially obliterating them.

The Elite Sniper Rifle - The Elite's powerful sniper rifle. Firing advanced super-heated plasma cartridges it boasts long range and precision combined to make this a truly deadly weapon.

The Elite Railgun - This Railgun makes use of The Elite's technological advances. The mounted camera on top of the gun beams a live feed to the users helmet HUD allowing the user to see further and to shoot sharper. The weapon itself can fire a total of 5 powerful plasma rounds that are devastating to all in their path.

The Elite Rocket Launcher - Capable of firing in two modes this launcher is a versatile weapon of destruction. In blitz mode it fires three seeker rockets in quick succession which lock on and obliterate any nearest enemy unit. Alternatively it can be switched into single shot mode which allows for rockets to be fired into strategic weak points at greater accuracy.

8 Explosives/Grenades:

Elite Cluster Grenade - Re-vamped model of the age old cluster grenade. Uses searing hot plasma to wound, maim and destroy.

Elite Gas Canister - Filled with potent poison gas aided with nano technology to instantly take out key targets in confined spaces.

Warp Grenade - Essentially a smaller Elite Drone energy core that has been set to overheat on a timer. Creates a devastating outward explosion.

Vortex Grenade - On detonation this grenade causes an energy vortex which rips and rends anything in its path before dissipating throughout the air.

The A22 "Cyclone" Grenade - A highly compressed air canister combined with shrapnel and a detonator. Slice and dice your enemies with this short fused and deadly grenade.

Reinforcement Beacon - Lets you call down reinforcement troopers behind enemy lines. Allows the Elites to teleport a combat ready trooper to the location of the beacon when deployed.

Bunker Buster Beacon - Similar to the Reinforcement Beacon but instead drops a Bunker Buster Drop Pod to the location instead of a standard teleportation beam. Allows of quick entry and deep striking into enemy fortifications. They will never see you coming.

2 Crafts:

Bunker Buster Drop Pod - Cheap reusable drop ship that is equipped with a borrowing drill to penetrate bunkers and thick armour to prevent damage.

Elite Teleport - Safely teleports your troops to the ground 100% of the time, every time.

I might work on this again in the future but I hope you enjoy what is currently available for now! :)
