Sadly in the process Cole lost his team, and destroying the alien ship also destroys Area 51, likely killing everyone on the base in the process, with Cole as the Sole Survivor of the entire game. Thankfully he is teleported out to safety in the Nevada desert before it detonates. Bittersweet Ending: Cole is cured of his alien disease and succeeds in destroying the alien ship beneath Area 51, subverting the Grey's plans, saving the world.Once the Greys have stockpiled enough of the Super Thetas they plan to deploy them, starting with Earth. Bioweapon Beast: The Theta and Super Theta have been purposely designed to be relentless killing machines armed with meson weapons and capable of infecting others with the virus.He even cures Ethan of the disease as promised. As the story progresses his tone only slightly changes and although he doesn't think highly at all of humans he comes to think that Ethan's death would be a waste of his time and a tragedy for mankind. Initially Edgar views humans with contempt and insists his time is precious. The term "good" is rather magnanimous since both of them are clearly just pissed at the Illuminati and the Greys. Cray appears to step forward after Cole is infected, but after his death at the hands of the Illuminati, it turns out to be Edgar. Asteroids Monster: Giant bouncing parasite bubbles, one of the game's more common Goddamn Bats, act in this manner.Winston Cray acknowledges that he is dying as he records his video logs, and that the logs' main purpose is to leave a record of the various experiments that he was involved with during the course of his career in Area 51.
Which contributed to the game's mediocre reception, which combined with Midway crashing and burning a year later, makes further entries into the series rather unlikely for the near future.
Blacksite is infamous for being an Obvious Beta that was rushed out into publication before being properly finished. Three years later, Pierce and his team are called in to suppress an armed insurrection in the area around Rachel, Nevada, only to discover the town and surrounding environs are crawling with alien lifeforms as well as a small, well-organized army of hostile cyborg soldiers known as the Reborn. This time the player is Aaron Pierce, the Silent Protagonist leader of a 4-man team of Delta Force operators who encounter alien phenomenon during the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Built on the Unreal Engine 3 (aka the Gears of War engine), Blacksite featured similar themes and gameplay elements to the original game, but took place in a different continuity.
This time, PC and Xbox 360 versions launched simultaneously, while the Playstation 3 version was delayed for a month. A Non-Linear Sequel, named Blacksite: Area 51, was released in 2007.
