Centurions are the big guys that serve as fire support crews for infantry squads. Clad in heavy body armour, Centurions can resist more anti-infantry fire than the regular soldier. This unique armour is also equipped with numerous tiny motors located in the joints, providing Centurions with the additional strength to carry the massive XM233 alone as well as allowing them to keep up with lighter infantry. The XM233 is a new Objective Individual Combat Weapon or OICW for short, developed specifically for these soldiers. They're lighter than most automatic grenade launchers and can be operated by a single user. It's high firing rate and long range enable Centurions to fire an endless barrage of high explosive grenades from a safe distance, suppressing and heavily damaging incoming enemy forces. They're also rather potent against structures under sustained fire. A major weakness is that they're unsuitable for close-quarters combat, where they'll have trouble trying to fire upon them and don't carry any form of defence at such short distances.
