My record time for that mission is 5 mins 30 seconds :p It's quite easy really :D Kinda long to explain but if you want to know just ask :)

I suddenly realised you could kill the contruction yard with a load of suicide skyhawks, so I guess if you did that nearer the start it would've been a lot quicker.

Don't you remember in the other C&C's the objective was something, and then after that it said something like 'destroy all of the remaining units and structures!'. Whereas at the moment it's like destroy a couple of buildings and then it's over. Even if you suicide your units to get to it....

Ha yeah, a couple of times I've realised my army is grossly under-prepared and is about to be chewed up by base defences so a quick kamikaze and its mission completed. Wahey you defeated Nod! Even though the screen is still full of them :D

Like some of the bonus objectives though, like the commando one where it challenges you to ONLY use the commando for the mission.

Forgive the crudeness but not too good with CS2 yet :(

Heres picture and explanation below.

CC.jpg


Ok heres what I done
1. Power On Turrets To The North
2. Power On Turrets To The East
3. Power On 1x West Turret To The West (Southern Most Turret)
4. Power On 1x Turret To The South (Western Most One)
5. Repair Both Power Plants
6. Build 3x APC and 3x Missile Infantry and put them inside APC's
7. Build Extra Harvester and make sure the suicidle idiot goes to the south tiberium field and not the one just to the north of your base

If you get a handle on that you can get some Infantry and Missile Squads and commandeer some structures across the bridge to the south-west.

Hope that was understandable.

Can you save replays from SP games ?

Quick Edit.
IMMEDIATELY after you base starts getting attacked press C for repair and initiate repairs on defenses as soon as they are damaged.

The APC's and Predator tanks are for support and once your guns start getting attacked they should move out and help and the war factory is there if any of them get damaged so once you get to grips they shouldn't really get knocked off so quickly.

Edit 2
I wish you could zoom out more.

Probably because of patch 1.04:

==================================================================
Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars(tm)
Version 1.04 Patch Notes - April 5, 2007
==================================================================

This patch for Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars addresses video
playback issues and several multiplayer problems:

Optimizations
· Made further improvements to video playback on low-end Windows
XP system configurations.

Bug Fixes
· Fixed an error that caused some players to crash or disconnect
while in online lobbies.
· Fixed an error that caused players with semicolon (';'),
colon (':'), comma (','), or equal sign ('=') characters in
their Online IDs to not be able to see and select options from
dropdown menus in online multiplayer lobbies. These characters
are no longer permissible in Online IDs.
· Fixed an error that caused players to desync when watching a
BattleCast match in which one of the participants disconnected.

Other Fixes
· All online multiplayer game lobbies will now appear properly
localized in different languages.

Out now.
 
Does anyone have any tips for what seems to be the last NOD mission?

You have to protect those 4 generator things infront of the tower. I have a reasonable amount of time to build up a small army, even though you have to spend a while defending the trickle of gdi from the east.

Trouble is when it comes to sending my defences north towards the scrin I just get owned as the gdi pour mammoth after mammoth in there. Also can't move in too quickly of the bloody scrin attack you even though you're fighing the gdi! :rolleyes:

Avatars are ok, but very expensive and don't last long to their upgraded mammoths.
 
Cheers for the heads up on the patch, about 20 mins after posting that last night the servers were back up again :)
 
Thanks for the tip, it was a bit of a hard mission until I just spammed 50 venoms out with the laser upgrade. Almost too easy after that!

Bombers and nukes sorted em out,once you stop the 2 attacks from the gdi at the eastern side i secured that side of base off then proceeded to bomb the carp out of the 4 juggernauts until i had 8 bombers and a hand of nod (nuke) then as soon as the gdi build their ion cannon (they made 3 overall) bombed and nuked it whilst making my avatars strong by upgrading them with bikes and stealth and firetanks i then cut the gdi forces off from attacking the scrin base whilst still bombing and nuking the main gdi base.
Not forgetting to setup 2 refinerys at the start one taking tiberium from nod base area and the other taking tiberium from the bottom of the scrin base.
took me a few goes like this but on the 4th attempt i kick butt :)
Wasnt overwhelmed with the end cut scene though :(

hope thats of some help :o
 
Guys in need of a little help! C&C3 keeps crashing! At first I thought it was the 1.3 patch, but today I patched up to 1.4 and I'm still experiencing it. It's a totally random error and sometimes happens in 1 hour or sometimes 5.

Anyway I'll post the start of the XFire Exception thingy to see if anybody could help (Its a bit long to post all of it).

God the scrin missions are HARD! They give you zero time before sending mammoths and avatars at you from all directions when you have no natural barrier! ARGH
 
Yeah it's good isn't it, nice to see a company listen to gamers problems and try to fix them.

Also for the skrin missions I found a stupid way to win (against AI at least)... just use the mastermind to teleport engineers to the tech buildings/refineries. The AI is almost too stupid to build new ones so you don't get mammoths etc sent at you, just normal units, almost too easy...
 
Gah! I started the NOD campaign, and my save games are screwed up! I can only access the older ones. :mad:

The newer ones are saved in the folder, and I can see them in windows explorer, yet they are missing when I'm in CNC.

Anyone know how to fix this? I have over 1000 savegames, FWIW. :eek: :)
