Artistic Forces/Andy Burton

"You want the best? Here I am."

- Major Andy Burton Major Andy Burton is a highly experienced expert in covert operations and a hero infantry unit of the SDA. This unit is planned to be voiced by Josh Robert Thompson.

Background
An expert in America's covert operations, Major Andy Burton can wreak havoc against all types of enemy infantry, vehicles and structures. Armed with an assault rifle, army knife and remote or timed demo charges, His stealth training allows him to move invisibly across almost any terrain.

Appearance
Major Andy Burton is physically based on Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Hollywood actor of action movies. As a futuristic American soldier, he wears a Halo-like Integrated Head Protection System military helmet and a futuristic uniform based on the Combat Capabilities Development Command Soldier, Future Force Warrior, and Soldier Protection System to be even stronger.

Strategy
Major Andy Burton is highly effective against enemy infantry and light vehicles when using his NGSW-R assault rifle (or any loadout), and vehicles using M72 LAW, though care should be taken around those with anti-personnel weaponry, and mediocre against low-flying aircraft. He can use his hand grenade or grenade launcher to devastate enemy defenses and stationary land units from a good distance. He can also place remote and timed C-4 demo charges on enemy buildings and vehicles. These will seriously compromise the integrity of any building. For instance, like Tanya from the Command & Conquer: Red Alert series, he can instantly kill enemies in one shot using his pistol due to his exceptional marksmanship skills.

Major Andy Burton is cloaked when not active and he can use his knife to kill infantry without breaking his stealth. The knife may also be used to kill the operators inside defensive positions such as AT Sites. Notably, His stealth rate is faster than his Rocket Launcher, MASS or Grenade Launcher's rate of fire, due to this, he will become cloaked repeatedly while firing his Grenade Launcher, MASS or Rocket Launcher, making him difficult to attack, as units will stop moving towards him as soon as he disappears again. However, as with any stealth unit, his presence can be revealed by units with detection capabilities.

Andy Burton is also able to lay Claymore Mines as traps against enemies that trample on them, and climb cliffs and other generally unstable terrain.
