Battles now have articulated infantry aiming, alien claw strikes, directional hit reactions, and a closer camera that follows the fighting. Press F9 at the title screen to watch an immediate clash of infantry, armor, and aircraft; F8 returns to command.

  • Light-reactive smoke, hex-pattern shield ripples, environmental glow, and map-specific atmospheric particles.
  • Scorched ground, tumbling model-part debris, lingering wreckage, and secondary explosions.
  • Two original stereo soundtrack cues that crossfade with combat intensity, plus six new weapon and explosion effects with directional sound and distance filtering.
  • The website includes an Onslaught soundtrack preview and updated controls.
