Just got my copy today, installing it now.

If anyone else is getting it we should setup some skirmishes and the likes.

I feel sorry for anyone playing online via xbox 360 (can they?).

Especially against my play style, your ****ed with a controller.

Game needs a big patch to balance it out.

I like keyboard and mouse also but dont under estimate people with controllers. Alot of them are really good and gurantee that you will get smacked down by some of them.

online play is about speed
construct 8-12 war factories, 5-6 bases, barracks, 80-120 guard/cannon/anti aircraft towers and you are "safe", and of course collect the tiberium.
I was playing with one f and I was expecting he is going to attack me with mammoth tanks, wrooong, 60 jets showed up at my base ..i was goner

and console gamers? I wouldnt underestimate them at all

Before or after I rush you with 3 groups of 10 tanks from every angle within the first 10 minutes of play?

hehe
it's not about the rush with "vehicles", it's about territory, same like AOE.
You have to take as much land as you can, the closer you are with your war factory/barracks/turrets to my base the closer you are to win, thats why the person who starts expanding/making bigger territory first wins the game.
What do you do with 30 tanks if I do have 4-6 bases and 60 turrets, 10 war war factories-> I can flush out reinforcements anytime, its not like they are all at the same place...

I dont always rush. Lets play sometime.

The AI in this game is a little off balance. 7 easy AI's all on the same team are easier to beat than one medium AI.

I made it lol
Forget the transport, defend the base, and start building vehicles which can drop off mines, they are also BEST against troopers.(you know the troopers who will explode they are coming in quite a high numbers)
4 vehicles on left side, 4 vehicles down, 5-6 tanks + some infantry on right side and same on top.Then start gathering army so you can protect the base.10-12 tanks, 20-22 infantry units, 5-6 mine field vehicles and some vehicles with rocket laungers.Then attack the base on right first on go for the base ..up to you .... (not the one with airborn units) that way you will get rid off attacks from right side.Then build 24 jets and destroy the base where you cant get with vehicles (err dont forget to put in your right down corner anti aicraft turrets 8-9 and 2-3 of them on left down corner).
The rest is easy, what is important is the start, oh and dont forget on harvesters, i always do have 8-12 of them.

PS: Grab the boxes downroad they are around trees, there are 3 boxes and each box contains 1000 credits

I did croatia on the second try.

I sold the 4 base defense cannons allowing everything to be powered up. Doing this you can ignore the southern and western entrances.

Build a mix of tanks and APC's and have them go back and forth between the north and east entrance killing and stopping at the war factory inbetween for repairs.

By the time the MCV arrives you should be able to take a large detachment of your constructed vehicles and go save it AND knock out the base constantly sending reinforces of troops across the bridge.

I can't wait to start the alien campaign

Now I'm stuck at Stutgart(SP?)
I'm playing on medium the first time through.
Aliens have these long range flying fortress' that tear me up.

air conditioning is covered with foam, and if there is a hole you are going to get condensation due frozen ice created on top of the hole.
Le me put it simple for you, the condensation creates high humidity inside your case = reboots, blue screens etc etc.
Whats dumb about it ?

It's like saying my stock fan is broken and I have to wait for replacement because I cant play.

Your reply would be :

There are not just stock/water cooling cpu units just so you know

I know how the **** phase cooling works. I was just being a smartass.

If you wanna keep burning money I'll fly up there and put it together properly for you.

Go over to the XS forums. Kids all the time pop up with a $6000+ purse and want to buy all the best.

You could get a bite over there in no time.

I was playing GDI but just switched to Scrin. Loving them even more. I spend less down time on them getting setup and off to killing.

When playing them you don't have to worry about constant pressure so much as units that are annoying as hell to knock out coming at your in bunches. They hurt!

im stuck at nod missions they're even more difficult then GDI's missions... they make GDI missions seem like a stroll through the park...

I accept your unconditional surrender Rivas.

In light of the surrender I now control Canada.

I only ask you put an ewok on your $1 bill and forward 10% of all tax revenue (converted to USD) to multiple bank accounts which I will PM you.

Shagster · Post by **Shagster** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 12:32 pm

Extremely disappointed with the AI in this game. I can't build a decent challenge. Hard is too easy and Brutal cannot be beat by a single player. Piss poor programming on whoevers part. They shoulda added a lot more difficulty levels.
