As much as I agree with that statement, both sides have negatives to their cause. Yes, they're trying to free the Ark, but didn't they sort of invade in the first place?



This.

They both have their positives, and negatives.

I was under the impression that the resistance were forced out of their homelands and came to the ark to survive and provide for their families.

Well, its one in the same argument in this case. They went there for both reasons.
Remember, not everyone fights for the same reason. Its the fact that they were forced to choose a side in the long run.
So, even though you may disagree with another Resistance member, you will still be labeled as the enemy by the Security forces.
And vice versa.

Hard to say. Security look cooler and I like the whole trying to set thing right by way of force.
But the Resistance looks to have a lot of back story to it. And a lot of character bonding as well....Very hard to decide.

I agree. I almost get the feel that the security are not letting the resistance leave....and I want to change that. Correction! I WILL change that. But I will be playing as both. And I like being a rebel, so that is where the resistance comes in.

Security, thy are humankinds last hope. The simple fact is that there aren't enough supplies for everyone to survive and for The Ark to be sustainable. No amount of fighting, or the overthrow of the government, will change the fact that there just aren't enough supplies.

Resistance all the way!
Love any form of rebellion/revolution... okay, not any, but most I know that the Founders of the Ark, and the security are only doing there job and stuff, but no matter what, the fact still remains the resistance is still living and dying in crap. To me, they have a better cause for fighting for.

What I do love about this game though is that it doesn't make an obvious good/evil divide, which most games do. It really relies down to your own experiences and ideals. Which is just so great to see these days. Like I don't see the security as bad guys either, they all probably have families to feed too, just getting paid to do their job, hearing the same propaganda that the resistance will be hearing too.

I just really hope the campaign doesn't end up revealing that one side is in fact good or evil, will totally kill it for me.

Unless its the very cliché 'our leaders are all evil, lets team up and destroy them!'

I love clichés.

I know that I will be playing both factions at some point in future time, but I'm definitely headed for Security first.

While the Resistance do have their reasons for fighting, I don't think they can go about solving their problems with war. And after all, the Security are just doing what they were assigned to do: protect the Ark.

The resistance are the immigrants that had nothing to live for at first and moved to the Ark.
JUST like all the poor immigrants that moved to America and kicked out the people that rightfully owned it. (but that's a story for another time)
Anyway, i will be playing the Security, for all the wrong reasons; I am the Oppressor.

Woah, woah woah. How on Earth do you know what the leadership is like? I think it's probably pretty good noting the intelligence of the founders. Also, no wonder there is inequality, there's 10x the ideal population. The guests can't blame anyone for that.

I'll be playing Security to protect the wonder of the Ark from the depraved, insatiable, and ignorant who fled their lands for this. Also, the Security look chic.



I am so GLaD that she does not exist in real life. ^_^

Its my opinion.

And they might be depraved, but insatiable and ignorant are not good ways of describing them as a whole.
That in itself is a matter of opinion.

Edit: If Security are told they are going after a dirty bomb, and it turns out they were lied to, who's to blame then?

I'll be playing both factions, but I prefer Security for various reasons.
I like their sleek uniforms and I respect cops and authority figures in general. I feel for both sides, but I feel that protecting the Ark and its limited supplies is very important and that the Security are just doing their jobs.

The devs did say there were misunderstandings, and, from seeing the cutsceenes, it seems there are people
with different outlooks in both factions, so it will be interesting to see how the story progresses on both sides.

I think I will wait until the game comes out (and my game copy is mailed to me, if ever, lol, from Wal-Mart) and see how the story progresses on both sides before making any judgments on the factions, though. ^_^

I want to run as Security first because my roommate wants to play first as Security, while running around in game saying "STOP RESISTING!" while shooting the Resistance in the face. He's going to play Bad Cop, I'm going to play Good Cop. It'll be like a cop drama. CSI: Ark, or maybe Miami Ark Vice.

Either way, Stop Resisting, or we'll be forced to shoot you more!

"Justice is on the winning side " . So i'm fighting for the Security :flamethrower: and Resitance if I'm playing with Napalm :celebration:

The bad information that both sides are getting is coming from somewhere. We're pawns in someone's plan, as such I refuse to choose a side based on the information we are given.

Fighting for Security first and foremost because I like their look and who they are. From their perspective:

Sure, things on the Ark aren't perfect but they're a far cry from what is happening around the rest of the world.

It may be hard, certainly there will be difficulties for the refugees, but they are being allowed a place to live and the Resistance may break that balance and cause more damage then good. If supplies were generously given out they would last for less time and may bring an even harder time for more people as time goes on.

So the Security has to do the tough job and enforce the law. It's not popular or easy but they know it has to be done.

Well there are no "Bad" or "Good" Guys, both thinks they are the good guys, and both got good reasons. Resistance are the lower class guys that live in the slums, and don`t get enough rations. And the security think of the resistance as terrorist.

The rations aren't being handed out equitably. Aside from the Security getting an additional water ration those living closest to the city are receiving more supplies than everyone else, and it's not as if the Resistance are sitting around doing nothing. They're all doing back breaking labor and getting hardly any sort of compensation for it. If their ration allowance is fine to live on then why doesn't everyone get the same amount?

I will probably lend myself more to the Resistance. I truly admire when people stand up for their values and beliefs. The security seems to be doing their job, while the Resistance is about passion and equality. I will probably run security as well, but I my main will most likely be resistance.

Security all the way, they are the keepers of the peace who must be out numbered compared to the resistance, and they represent the side that allowed the refugees to live on the Ark in the first place, they are doing there job and the resistance should be happy for what they have.

nice...

Resistance I'm always against the MAN :disguise: power to the people! :mohawk:

I'd have to say Resistance is for me.
I mean, the Security is a bunch of professional soldiers, fighting to keep their paradise the way they want it.
While the way I see it.
The Resistance is a bunch of beat-down rebels, and who're fighting for their survival and salvation in a world where they have nothing left.
...Plus they're more hardcoe than the Security in my opinion.
:tongue:

Because they should thank their lucky stars they aren't all drowning, tbh. The Ark wasn't made to house them all, the original occupants all paid to live there and it was out of the kindness of their hearts that the refugees were even allowed on-board and given dry "land" beneath their feet. It would be like a gated community of the wealthy letting in all manner of the population of a city, in a Zombie apocalypse.

But on the flipside I don't agree with how the Founders are handling the situation in the tense of the game.

Ummm resistance because they look awsome and they probably would win becuase there is more of them.
