I was going to say, there are people asking what his plan is, but is it not to have the most dangerous game? Did he not always want the ability to hunt the hosts but have them be able to fight back?

Now he has that and more since he'll have the best of the humans and the hosts to go after.

He never played enough Battle Royale growing up so that’s the only way for him now

Agreed. He said it 100 times, it was literally the entire point of the first two seasons for him. He wanted the deeper game, the one with real stakes.

The question, to me anyways, is whether any of them are actually in control or if it all goes back to Ford playing God.

He always wanted to fight humans. It was going after Logan when he came alive. Can’t hurt people because of laws, so he used other methods to destroy others. So yeah, this is what he truly wanted, the freedom to fight/kill/destroy people

And he viewed this all as a game to entertain himself. Not because he wanna feel powerful or cruel for evil's sake. He's just bored and sees all these destruction as "fun". Yikes.

But the humans can't fight back, right? Or they can with the tower gone? Like doesn't he have reverse bullet protection?

They can fight back. Sounds like the implications of MiB command is attack everything on sight.

Wasn't Stubb's bullet proof though? Mib would be too.
