I recently did a duty playthrough in anomaly and it has made me look back the og trilogy and notice something pretty crazy.

They fail their own objectives yet succeed in eachothers goal

So duties goal was to protect the innocent and destroy the zone. And well you know how that goes. They get wrecked by the dogs outside rostock on the regular. While freedom manages to hold off hordes of zombies and monolith at the barrier.

Freedom's goal was to estabilish a sort of commune in the zone and to make it free to those who wish. When it comes to establish civilization the base in army warehouse aint really it. Duty is the only real faction that was able to establish any sort of town you can and go from freely in the zone(provided your on their good side)

I know this is all more a matter of positioning but i find it fascinating and i havent seen it talked about yet
