The Backstory of Phantom Forces

[@vincentchen5748]

Another thing: the mercenaries or so called “soldier” aren’t real people. They are cyborgs. There is multiple proof of this. First of all, each and one of Roblox account is a mercenary soldier that can be programmed in the settings. They can change FOVs and what not. Each and one of the mercenaries are different from one another depending of the setting. Second, your character has super human strength. Being able to “super jump”, get shot multiple times, including headshots on some weapons, sprint forever, carry a extreme amount of weight, performs reloads perfectly one after another, survive extreme heights without breaking bones, self regeneration and no bleeding. Your character is clearly not just a normal human, it’s something else. Third, chats. Your character don’t talk, they chat through an public chat. Forth, there is a group of people being able to abuse this power of cyborg technology…hackers. They are corrupt cyborgs who overpowered themselves to have incredible powers, but the regular soldier has 1 move that can take them out, votekick. If the soldier is trained enough, they can start a votekick. If the kick get enough vote, the hacker will be diminished, shut downed and be gone. And last, a move a normal human can’t ever perform, respawn. It seem like when you die, you create a clone and respawn yourself. The last thing I have to say is the console have 1 thing in particular that makes me think you are a cyborg. The console claims that the ballistic tracker works by detecting the chip implant into the back of your head. That chip only mean one thing, used by the radar. As a cyborg, you can scan the area for friendly soldiers and put him on your minimap, and know his name. Ballistic tracker abuse this and decide how high you have to aim to put the enemy down. Hackers can abuse the chip and know not only all friendly location and name but also enemy soldier’s location and name, and create the exploit: ESP. Thank you for reading this explanation

The abandoned tanks in Desert Storm always gave me the impression of a heavy military presence. Who knows? Maybe they were driven back, and Ghosts were sent in to succeed where the Egyptian Army failed (obviously this does not line up with the lore in the video)

[@TwilightPiercer]

Imagine they add some new mercenary groups only to appear very rarely or on certain maps only, wouldn't that be cool? And more lore accurate? Maybe Wraiths with dark green vests, Shades with silver vests, Shadows with pitch black vests or maybe even Dryads with green vests but with dark green overalls unlike all the other dark grey ones. They might even have some different model designs as well. Like Dryads wearing a ghillie hood and Shadows wearing black balaclavas. I am saying these since Phantoms and Ghosts are not the only big mercenary groups out there. Edit: Wraiths might be better with dark purple vests as well.

[@binhanjustbinhan9141]

I can think Wraith.could be a seperate group mercenary that consisting rouge member of Phantom and Ghost that escape from the battlefield by pulling out the chips implanted in their neck.

[@TwilightPiercer]

@@binhanjustbinhan9141 Though I had totally forgotten about the chips, that is a cool idea. I just hope those chips are not connected to some vital parts of the inner body.

[@binhanjustbinhan9141]

@@TwilightPiercer It seem to be connect to the brain of the mercenaries thus creating the GUI, controling movement and bound the mercenaries in an area (Proven by the fact that you can't going out of the map, you just stop at a certain place.). That why I came up with the idea that somehow, maybe an EMP blast or a lucky hit to the neck, the chips got broken but cause very minimal harm to the mercenaries, allow them to escape the border.

I'm almost certain that the group didn't split off into *just* two groups, maybe it did broke apart but the two biggest glass shards just happens to be the "Ghosts" and "Phantoms". Perhaps, "Ghosts" and "Phantoms" aren't even groups themselves since there is no member in each group who seeks to stay loyal permanently.

[@MeltsLikeCaramel]

This is also correct to assume. As if the group is now broken.. You can expect their emotions to take over rather then focusing on the mission. It could be that they may even been able to start mini nations as well.. But I'm assuming since we are focused around the two stronger ones.. It would most likely be them to have some sort of nation set up.. Just and idea I had.

The history or backstory makes since but there is one thing that stood out the most the friendly fire. If they killed their own men then once they returned for their payment the rest would have noticed their wasn’t as many men, with that being said then how did they not notice and why didn’t they finish the rest of the group off while they had the chance . That adds another point why would they decide they wanted to go against their mission unless they knew something the rest of them didn’t so what would they have known to push them to killing their comrades at arm?

[@v12ts.gaming]

My headcanon of Phantom Forces: The setting would be WWIII, where NATO countries and the Russian-led Asian Continental Military Force (ACMF) countries are fought each other for teritorial control. In this headcanon, we of course have two factions. The Phantoms were actually a US-Based multinational Task Force called Task Force 12, also known as the Phantom Task Force. The field commander is known by none other than his codename: "Virtus", who go by the callsign "Phantom Actual". The Ghosts are Egypt-based Mercenary group but they have significant alignments to the ACMF with its exclusivity deal, and the fact that Egypt is one of the members of the ACMF. The Ghosts are vital to the ACMF Operations as it posses tactics, expertise, and even gears that oridnary ACMF army didn't have. Both factions are equal by power, and they are frequently face each other on one battle to another. As you can see, for this headcanon, I've mixed After The Flash stuff like adding the ACMF in my PF Headcanon, so i want it to be like the prequel to the ATF series set before the nuclear explosion.

[@sladevaleska6917]

One of PF's Dark Side theories are all soldiers of mercenaries in PF are maybe just like Clone Troopers from Star Wars (Inspired from the Top 1 comment theory) so if The Ghosts and Phantoms are fighting does it mean that they're just killing the people that they trusted back then? The ones they loved? The ones they treated as Brothers? So if they're possibly might be clones... They're just killing each other for absolutely no reason at all

[@MeltsLikeCaramel]

I always love Mercenary groups in fiction and this just adds to the excitement of it. Phantom Forces needs to add more Mercenary groups to the game. Imagine there was a Mercenary Group in Phantom Forces lore called Fenrir. Edit: Tho I do have a question. If Stylist Studios wanted the leader back in Egypt causing the split of the big Mercenary group to happened. Then why did some of the solders in the mercenary group thought it was a good idea that they can control the base themselves, if the goal that Stylist Studios wanted from the start, was to over throw the leader and split the Mercenary group into two? Because to me, it just sounds like a bunch of gymnastics just to get to their actual objective. Why kill the leader and convince the solders into thinking that they can control the base in Egypt, if you can just use propaganda into splitting the big Mercenary group into two Mercenary groups. Because Propaganda has always worked with these types of situations. Especially if that same big Mercenary group that was previously united, is now having conflict within the group. Think about it like an authoritarian group or a Government for example. In these types of situations where the big baddy wants to control the outcome of something, they normally use propaganda into splitting previously united people or groups, against them and playing off their conflicts with each other. That way, the big baddy can have more control, well the people tearing themselves apart can become less united. Yes. I'm using Psychology as a way to break down Stylist Studios plan. What am I doing with my life. lol 😂
