[mindarinas]

Atreides are stupid, They should just give her some kind of antidote before seending her.

[titanquestlegend]

WTF!? spitting=fremen respect(i think it means "depleting the water inside you")

or he's trying to cover that spits-on-my-map thing

[ViperCanel]

The cleavage girl is very hot!

[evaunit143]

that's a sign of the up most respect .......... now some one clean it up its blurring the ink on the map

[smash4686]

I know a girl who looks EXACTLY like that down to the slightly puffy eyes when she squints and the full lips.

[SirPepe666]

who else thinks that the fremenleader in emperor looks the most like stilgar as he is described by frank herbert?^^

[agitomakashima]

I never really quite understood why the Atreides would send in a assassin. The Atreides never resorted to backstabbing. In the game, the Harkonnen do nothing worth mentioning. The Sardaukar are only shown leaving (recycled footage). This I have the feeling Westwood messed up and accidentally swapped the Atreides and Harkonnen Sardaukar video.

[jmm1233]

now iknow who to hire if i need a floor cleaner , lol

[solnegrolunaroja]

It's hard to try to live as a Fremen when everybody behaves like Harkonnen :/

[faerie7dragon]

Bi La Kaifa!

Fremens are awesome warriors of awesomeness.

[lefredvoncarstein]

@faerie7dragon please tell me you know what bi lal kaifa actually means, and that the actual battlecry is ya hya chouhada

[faerie7dragon]

@lefredvoncarstein I think it stands form "Amén" and it's my favorite Fremen saying for how it sounds, not actually quoting the video.

[LuisManuelLealDias]

cleavage, by definition is anything buy gratuituous ;)

[EchoEnder]

All good assassination guilds put their crest on their troops, so if they fail, the intended victims will know where to look for vengeance, right?

Man, for the big evil guys in this game, the Tailaxu sure are stupid...

[toomanyaccounts]

@EchoEnder

It's pretty obvious where the face dancers come from. The issue is who hires the face dancer.

[lordvivecjjj]

@EchoEnder as toomany accounts has pointed out, only tleilaxu (NOT tailaxu..)can make facedancers through flesh vats. There's no need to look at the crest, it's obvious... but equally obvious is the fact that you don't know a damn about the dune series...

and why am I even answering you, since this is a 1 year old comment?

[bursegsardaukar]

I guess the metallic nose has some enhancements for him to smell out poison or in this case face dancers.

[spacecowboy5000]

Ah, those Furry Fremen!

[mangame5]

The frmens eyes should be compleaatelly blue,and not just the iris glowing in that colour,theyre eyes must be "blue-in-blue" without any white parts,besides,wheres theyre stillsuits!?those are stillsuits at 2:00?and they should have masks and head-covering parts with the stillsuits,man...

[silaku]

in the David Lynch movie, there were Sardaukar officials that had metal stuff on their faces. Specifically, there was one that had metal on his nose, and another that had a plate on his face, not unlike these two here. I love how the game pays homage to the movies by following their visuals so closely!!!

[Setzer2500]

A Facedancer? I know his face changes but why would his clothes change with it?

[Voxateuri]

That man looks better with hair.

[Mordi227]

Rofl, The fremen guy spitted and Kolinar is like: Water is holy to the fremen and this is a respect for them, we may gain their trust. Thats what I understanded.

[t260y]

wouldn't she have been better off running away then blending in with someone?

[potatofaery]

i don't remember reading about the fremen having such amazing mustaches!

[Darroth]

Anyone have the link for the cutscene where the clone emperor appears to the two generals?

[smithdanger]

I have it uploaded. It's the second Ordos video. A Single Life is Irrelevant.

[Darroth]

thx

[HerDarkestHour]

wat is this. Im only on book three "children of dune". better keep reading.

[smithdanger]

lol, you'll never find it. It's 'supposedly' five hundred years before the books in an separate timeline of the Lynch films. That's the best explanation I can come up with. An alternate timeline of an alternate timeline. Kinda like a comic book isn't it?

[Reephamike]

@smithdanger or in short this is a made up story for the plot for the game

[toomanyaccounts]

@smithdanger

It's actually the sequel to Dune 2000 which it self was a remake of Dune 2 game. In typical westwood fashion the sequel takes place by having certain events go a different way.

Red Alert franchise it was always the storyline that the Allied side winning was the canon. Command and Conquer GDI was the winning side. There are a few games such as Red Alert 3, Kane's Wrath were this was altered somewhat.

[thedarkprinceVvvvV]

OUt of the two Sardukar officers im still trying to figure out who is really in charge,

The commanding one seems like he would be, but i remember in some of the other, cut senes i calls the one Burseg(General). I have no idea how you woould tell them apart due to there uniforms look identical.

[chaosgreyblood]

@thedarkprinceVvvvV \

The one with the short black hair is the guy in charge. The bald one was too quick to address the Corrino ghola as the real thing ressurected, but the other man wasn't so sold on the idea. It's right there in the 2nd Ordos mission cutscene.

I just solved it for you. =)

[harlequin2262]

..And this secret assassin happened to carry the insignia of his employers? Damn.

[BootedNoob]

Yep... also that smart idea of using the looks of a NEW servant... lol xD

[devinsiegel7]

where the hell did this come from

[horusrage]

Ghad Fly is also in context meaning distraction.

[Specter750]

He doesnt look like the facedancer of the ending because remember that they can turn into ANYONE

[Pryysmite]

Psst... Smithdanger, pass the popcorn

[MrMatto91]

i miss that game

[fugitivehunter]

Am I the only one who does NOT think that the fremen leader showed a sign of respect when he spit on the table?

Just a thought.

[Gideon235]

It's weird, the guy who speaks at the beginning of this sounds a bit like Gimli from Lord of the Rings.

[BlueKnightDuke]

lol in the other dune game (smithdanger has uploaded all the cutscenes for that one too) the Atreides Mentat is Gimli lol!

[Hosea22]

The Sardaukar did not admit females. There has been no mention of the identities of supporting arms, for example, Logistics and Intelligence functions. The Sardaukar were apparently the "tip of the spear" which kept House Corrino at the helm of the Empire for the generations between the end of the Butlerian Jihad up to the ascendancy of the Atreides Emperors.

[Hosea22]

In addition, Leto styled the Fish Speakers as his "brides", thus cementing a loyalty to not only House Atreides but the Majesty of the Worm who was God.

[Hosea22]

The reason for female warriors was Leto's belief that a matriarchal fighting force was naturally vicious, and in the absence of an external enemy would not turn on themselves and the civilian population, in contrast to "Thrill Seeking" adolescent males who had traditionally been the fighting forces since human beings were bands of hunter gatherers and who would prey upon the "weak members" of the group in the absence of enemies.

[Hosea22]

The Sardaukar were later lead in an unsuccessful revolt against Leto by the reanimated corpse of Duncan Idaho, former swordsmaster of the Atreides. The revolt was quelled, Duncan killed once again, and some time later Leto ordered the abolishment of the Sardaukar Corps. They were replaced by the Fish Speakers, an all female army with Sardaukar blood in their veins.

[Hosea22]

An attempt was made by Wensicia Corrino, daughter of Shaddam and sister of Irulan Corrino, Paul's wife, to reinstate House Corrino as the Imperial House and restore the Sardaukar to their former glory. Wensicia did not expect that her son, Farad'n, would betray her, and join with the Atreides, giving control of the remaining Sardaukar, now only one powerful legion, to Leto Atreides II, the current Padishah Emperor.

[Hosea22]

This arrangement changed, after Paul Atreides overthrew the last Corrino Emperor, Shaddam Corrino IV, and he and his Sardaukar were banished to Salusa Secundus, where, though the Sardaukar still served their Emperor, they could no longer leave the planet, were no longer the feared fighting force of the universe, and their numbers had greatly diminished. In addition Paul Atreides promised to "gentle the planet" in order to weaken the Sardaukar.

[Hosea22]

Since the beginning of their rule, the Sardaukar served the Corrino Emperors with fierce loyalty. Death before betrayal was common, and the Sardaukar, during the hight of Corrino rule, were the most feared and renowned soldiers in the universe.

[Hosea22]

Small squads of Sardaukar accompanied the Emperor's family on visits to potentially hostile territory. They would and did "show the flag", reminding all of one of the powers that sustained the Quartz Throne.

[Hosea22]

He would not defer to the Baron's protests that the site of the Atreides's death was not "clean" and replied to the Baron, "I will not be denied". This breach of manners that supported the Fraufreleuches system was completely appropriate for this Sardaukar Officer in that he was representing the Emperor Himself.

[Hosea22]

Sardaukar officers could and did perform special tasks directly on behalf of the Emperor. The Sardaukar Officer who visited Baron Harkonnen on Arrakis just after the end of combat that began the Harkonnen Restoration on Arrakis insisted upon seeing the corpse of Leto Atreides. "His Majesty has commanded me to see the Corpse of the Atreides. He is insistent that his Cher Cousin dies cleanly and without agony".

[Hosea22]

Sardaukar forces used military ranks, General, Colonel, Captain and so on. Presumably, rank would be determined by prestige and prowess, as well as loyalty. They were organized into Brigades. Each brigade contained 30,000 soldiers, and when ten of these brigades were combined they formed a Legion, containing 300,000 soldiers in all.

[Hosea22]

They also used knives and "weaponless" techniques. They would use body shields and suspensor units, even on Arrakis, a trait which invited worm attack, if the situation demanded their use. Sardaukar would not hesitate to "sterilize a planet" if so ordered by the Emperor or His designated representatives.

[Hosea22]

A "trademark" battle tactic of Sardaukar were to stand "back to back" in "triangles" of three during close order combat. The Sardaukar used many different kinds of weapons, including aerially delivered bombs, stun weapons, toxins and projectile weapons.

[Hosea22]

Sardaukar were also rewarded royally. Even the lowliest Sardaukar trooper enjoyed occasional rewards such as rich food, beautiful and willing lovers and the "finest luxuries". Sardaukar were paid but were not allowed to go "on leave" and did not have families outside of the Sardaukar. In this sense they seem to have elements of a Monastic fighting order akin to the Knights Templar., Shaolin Monks and other warrior-monastic communities.

[Hosea22]

It was said that a single Sardaukar was worth ten of the best Landsraad soldiers available, that their skill in unarmed combat ability met that of a tenth level Ginaz Swordsmaster, and that their infighting abilities were near equal to those of a Bene Gesserit adept. It is quite possible that Sardaukar were adept at "living off of the land" and were probably indoctrinated in fulfilling the mission though they be the last survivor.

[Hosea22]

This emphasis upon "survivability" combined with the sheer brutality of their training meant that only the strongest were able to survive, and these strongest would go on to become Sardaukar, the pride of the Imperium.

[Hosea22]

Sardaukar did "recruit" from inmates of Salusa Secundus. Units of Sardaukar would occasionally spar with groups of prisoners in order to "weed out" weaklings and collect the strong who survived for "training".

[Hosea22]

Sardaukar who invaded the southern Sietches did not hesitate to slay Paul Atreides' infant son Leto, probably on command of Shaddam.

Another trait shared with Spartan Warriors was a Sardaukar's "laconic" manner of speaking. Sardaukar were almost always men of few words, more men of action. As far as can be determined there were no "philosophers" in the Sardaukar Corps who penned the equivalent of the "Five Rings" or "Art of War".

[Hosea22]

This training paralleled that of Spartan Warriors, who were indoctrinated cruelly in order give them a sense of "unit", an "edge" and a mythos that defeated their enemies before battle was even enjoined. Chances are that Sociopathic personal traits were cultivated in order to build "soulless killers" who obeyed orders without question but who were still dependent upon "Chain of Command".

[Hosea22]

Sardaukar were trained from infancy on the atomics-devastated world of Salusa Secundus. Salusa was supposedly a prison-planet, but was also home to their secret military training facility. Here they underwent the most brutal and rigorous training schemes imaginable, whilst they simultaneously struggled to stay alive on Salusa's devastated surface. Only six out of thirteen individuals were said to survive past the age of eleven, and those that did began to show traits of cruelty and soullessness.

[Hosea22]

The Sardaukar were feared by many Houses as no other force in the universe was able to match their might and fighting prowess, save at times the Fremen who eventually defeated them by virtue of far larger numbers, a parallel system of toughness in training, a code of Honor and Loyalty, and a religious fanaticism lent by their "Mahdi", Paul Atreides who unleashed them upon the Universe in "Holy Jihad". The Sardaukar crumbled under the quantity and quality of the Fremen.

[Hosea22]

The Sardaukar were an elite fighting force of soldiers that served as the Imperial military under the Padishah Emperor. They were fierce, loyal, patriotic and merciless warriors, something they proved after Wellington Yueh spoke of pity, and they merely sneered. The Sardaukar were often referred to as House Sardaukar, in that they were a match for any House of the Landsraad, or that they were a house of their own or the term meant that they were "Sardaukar of the House".

[nxblnxbl]

is this dune game better than the old ones i ask because is it worth to buy or download i played the game dune the battle for arrakis dune 2000 and i have enjoyed very much the music the game but this dune i don't know really

[nakenmil]

fremen are badass!

[BVargas78]

Long live the duke! Long live house atreides!

[csnation]

Well I completed the game with both Fremen and Sardaukar + Ix as allies.

Holographic combined troops ftw.

And a single fremen vastly superior than the regular Atreides's Sniper.

[silaku]

i think u get all 3 of them on the Emperor Worm level, regardless if you antagonized or ignored them during the campaigns.

[1992OS]

On Atreides's history, the Fremen and the Sardaukar should be allies, rather to kill themselves. Am I right? Please smithdanger, answer me.

[silaku]

that would depend on which part of history you're in. in the first 3 (Dune, Dune Messiah, COD), they are still enemies but their masters, the Corrinos, are depowered and cannot oppose the emperor--as the Fremen are superior warriors.

in the latter books, the fremen and sardaukar have been absorbed into leto's rule and then he commands a Fish Speaker army.

[1992OS]

what you have said. believe me, it's better to the Atreides because they gain help before rather than get problems and get the conquest more hard.

[KiraXBara123]

At least spit somewhere else!

The map is valuable in planning strategies!

[smithdanger]

I wish Ornithopters worked that well

[zazanza]

It looked really faked when "she" was falling

[silaku]

why? she didn't fall down on the floor realistically enough for you?

[chrisnorris1x]

I wish there was a way to play as the old emperor's forces...

[smithdanger]

I agree. It would've been interesting to play solely as the Sardaukar.

[Neville6000]

Caid is also a rank, and not a name. Also, the highest rank is Bashar (General).

[smithdanger]

I'm an idiot, I'll go ahead and change that.

[bursegsardaukar]

@smithdanger If I am not mistaken, Burseg is the highest rank in the Sardaukar followed by Caid and then Bashar. I think the bald Sardaukar is a Burseg since that's what the other Sardaukar called him in the Ordos cutscene (A Single Life Is Irrelevant) and the dialogue goes as "Come, Burseg, our troops leave for Arrakis within the hour."

[lefredvoncarstein]

@bursegsardaukar i think you have the order reversed? Bashar is the highest. Burseg is smth like Colonel, just 1 or 2 echelons below.

[Neville6000]

Then the game would have been set up with four houses instead of three, the fourth being House Corrino.

[smithdanger]

I can guarantee House Corrino might be a smidgen overpowered. But that might be balanced by having an infantry or vehicle cap.

[satxboi30]

Burseg is not a name but a Sardukar rank equivalent to General.

[smithdanger]

Wow, I'm an idiot. I'll go ahead and change that.

[Damar148]

The 'girl' was hot, the Face Dancer was not.

[thedarkprinceVvvvV]

I second that notion

[Grovajl]

@Damar148 the facedancer was hot too :)

[1MagicAndMayhem1]

@Damar148 Your making out with her, Then that guy pops up ..

Brrrrrrrr

[animeFAN00111]

Are you talking about the Fremen? They way they show respect is to give up something that they cannot usually do without and that thing is water. If you lived in that world and they offered that to you that means they are willing to show you some respect.

[rigurat]

unique way they show respect
