The *New* Official C&C3 Thread

Yeah I got that Croatia mission done now.

Secret is that NOD has 3 bases - Tank one in NE, infantry one in SW, and air one in SE.

So, spam APCs to the West and South entrances, and Predators to the North and East entrances. I didn't even have to put anything in the APCs, as they just mowed the NOD troops down. I also got another harvester out as soon as possible - the extra money really helps.

Then I took 10 predators to the NE base, destroyed most of it, captured the rest and built it up.

Then I took 10 APCs with rocket soldiers in them to the SW base and destroyed it all.

Brought the MCV down, deployed it, put up 3 airfields and filled them with Orcas, used them with squads of Zone Troopers (which I jump-packed up the cliff) to destroy the SE base. Stupidly, if you take out the NOD airfields (which can be done with 4 orcas on a suicide mission) they don't bother to rebuild them, leaving the now benign base totally defenceless.

You can dismantle it in your own time. :)

MCV comes and by the time I have escorted it back my base is gone and full of enemies with a storm of them chasing me

Big tip, you don't have to escort it back straight away. It's perfectly safe where it is and they wont touch it.

At start make 1 or 2 extra harvesters.
Then build 10 APC with 5 inf and 5 rocket launchers in, spread them between the 4 entrances. rockets mainly top and right, inf mainly bottom and left. Once that's done build basic tanks and a few eng apc's. When the mcv arrives just ignore it and destroy there top right hand base. Once that base is destroyed, move your remaining apc's to the two bridges and your base destroying regiment to collect the mcv (you need about 4 apc/inf) with them though.

Then attack bottom right base, use orcas to destroy power ( you will lose a lot. Then air transort some apc/inf and some tanks in.

Just played a few games online and one stood out above all others.

2V2 on Backwater brawl. My ally was a bit crap, but so was one of my enemies. I predator rushed the crap enemy and all but wiped him out. At the same time the good enemy was building a line of power plants into my base and popping up sonic towers everywhere. I've never seen anything like it. I had no air units so was completely screwed and ended up losing, despite having far more units than him. :(
 
Yeah I did the low power mission. The problem I was having was defending my base. I never had chance to scout the nod bases because I was under constant attack from Nod.

As said. Take out that NE nod base and you no longer need to watch that side of your base. Its just a tight watch over the bridge.

Just completed a 2 hour skirmish mission on a 6 person map. Me vs two teams of Nod & GDI and an extra team "scrin"

Got all the construction yards and started having fun.

Yeah, never seen a tactic quite so cheeky.

Thing is, only a decent air defense could have stopped it, and I'd spent all my money on predators. It was completely unstoppable.

that was a popular tactic in yuris revenge, with the grand cannon.
 
Too many people in this are just poor losers, just had like four games in a row were people just disconnected when we started to clear their base, guessing they pulled the plug on their connection, basically we either have to take the loss or even restart our machines as the game just locks up.
 
I was so gutted last night, was just having a game with a mate of mine in a 2 v 2 game, just about to finish off the game, and the whole thing crashes :(

Trouble is that it records me as a disconnect. My mate got the win though as he took over my units :)

First time the game has crashed as well :(
 
Just finished both GDI & NOD single player. I must say that I am not that impressed with the ending missions & video footage for both sides.

The 1st Tib Sun final mission was rock solid. I didnt find these hard at all and not as emense.

Fantastic game though.

Josh Holloway had me in stiches all the way through. Not a bit different to his Sawyer character
 
I got bored of the campaign after a few missions, just don't see the fun in playing simplistic AI and basic missions when you can go online and play against people who can really try some abstract tactics.

After playing a few more 3v3 with a few friends of mine, Mastermind is just stupid against the vast majority of players, had a game yesterday were a friend and I sent one in at the same time. He took and sold their construction yard, I took their war factory, made an MCV and sent it all the way back to their base, then sold their crane, it's crazy how you can finish someone with one unit. Venom spamming is just hilarious against most people aswell, especially when they spam Scorps/Preds or even PACs, Venoms with lasers just blow the crap out of them.
