Most overused map: Heck (RA2)
Best commander: Errr Yuri XD
Coolest base defense: Prism Towers

[Nyerguds]

Hardest Mission:
hm... a bit of a tie between the TD Nod Steal Orca mission, which is seriously annoying with your team split in 2, and the RA2 Soviet mission where you first get the Apocalypse. That one is really annoying with all the chrono attacks.

Most worthless unit?
TD Technician. DUH. It's scientifically proven by HeXetic @ PCNC :p

Most overused map?
No idea. I barely play online.

Best commander?
Seth. Wel, ok, not best, but you know... coolest. he had attitude, and ambition. Admitted, a bit too much of the second :p

Coolest base defense?
-C&C1 Obelisk of Light. The very concept is totally awesome.


Hardest Mission: TD GDI mission where you had to rescue Delphi.

Wow. Seriously?

Look at the attackment. That's the Delphi mission.

Six units lost in the entire mission. No cheating or anything :p
The trick is simply to build two refineries from the start.

[ImageKlonoa]

holy poop, man. youre awesome.

I always get my first few guys either run over by that first light tank, owned by the turrets, or killed by the seemingly infinite flamethrower rushes (along with the base also)

I think I only beat it with some nifty ion cannon/nuke cheats. :p

[Nyerguds]

heh. You just gotta go to the right side ASAP in the beginning, lure the light tank away and kill it when you're out of the turrets' range, and totally ignore the tank with your MCV. Just get the MCV to the right, then up, while your grenadiers kill the tank.

And then, well, power plant, barracks, refinery, guard tower, second refinery, another guard tower, and then either a helipad (totally owns flame tanks if you uncover the shroud a bit so you see em coming) or your weapons factory.

And bazooka troops close to your guard towers, to wear down flame tanks before they get too close.

[wargrudge]

Hardest Mission- Honestly, none. I had an easy time with every game.
Most worthless unit- Limpet Drone (TS:FS)
Most overused map- Heck if I know, I don't play online
Best commander- Slavick, he's amazing
Coolest base defense- Advanced Guard Tower (TD)

[Nyerguds]

wargrudge - don't play TS and RA2 on Easy. Seriously :p

[wargrudge]

TS and RA2, are you kidding? TD on easy was harder than those two games on Hard. :p

[Nyerguds]

TD HAS NO DIFFICULTY SETTINGS. You either FINISH it, or you DON'T. No way in between :p

hmm...i always built on the right cliff where the turret was. could explain the ownage.

[wargrudge]

Don't bite my head off for not playing the game in YEARS. :p

[Nyerguds]

Actually that's the best reason you could've given me for biting off your head :p

hmm...i always built on the right cliff where the turret was. could explain the ownage.
eh? There's a large open field at the east side of the map, with two tiberium fields close to it (one south, one east), and after you use Orca's to kill the turrets, one west too. You should just plant your base there.

[SgtRicko]

Anyone forget about the second to last Soviet mission in RA2? You know, the one where you're trying to launch a coup against Yuri and you have to destroy the Kremlin? That mission was a bitch until I realized that the only way I could possibly destroy the Kremlin was with nukes, because the land route was flat-out suicide!:flamed:

[Tommy]

Hardest Mission - None.
Most worthless unit - Limpet Drone (TS:FS)
Most overused map - Twilight Flame. Every darm **** in gen /zh online is about this map all the ****ing time in 3v3 rooms. :scared: Followed by Tour of Egypt.
Best commander - Who else? The best would be the player himself... he's the one helping those high ranking ****s to win / destroy the enemy. :)
Coolest base defense - Red Alert 1 tesla Coil. <-- Complete ownage. It's much better than Prism towers and red alert 2 teslas. Everyone's frighten about having their opponents building up teslas around their forts. Followed by laser general's laser turrets.

[SgtRicko]

A lot of people are mentioning the limpet drone from Firestorm. Anyone wanna explain why it's crap?:\ (I never bought Firestorm)

Because it's purpose st to scout, but to do that you have to move it into position and a vehicle has to drive right by it so that it can attch itself to the vehicle. Then, you see a very small area around where that vehicle goes. So even if it is a harvester that returns to base, you won't be able to see a great deal.

And these little beauties cost 500 each... so you may as well get a jumpjet who has a little weapon to annoy grouped disk men or just annoy a base (sometimes causing money to be spent on anti-air defence) and you can decide where to scout with him. But even better than using a jumpjet infantry, create a rush team of infantry as soon as you can at the start of the game so you can scout, pester and even force your opponent to stop building critical buildings like war factory, radar etc so they can get a couple of lasers or vulcan cannons down. And even then, you can run away and save your infantry for fodder or base defence.

So basically the limpet drone is absolutely useless, except for some specific singleplayer missions.

[Soviet779]

Most overused map: depends... TOE for ra2 or 2v2 tourney island map thing from generals

Coolest base defense: Grand cannon in RA2A lot of people are mentioning the limpet drone from Firestorm. Anyone wanna explain why it's crap?:\ (I never bought Firestorm)

Go there and watch that video lol, i kinda forgot about the limet drone completely until i watched that.

Dude, rebels are pretty ok for the most part, and they actually become somewhat dangerous when they get the armor-piercing bullets and camos!

[JJFZ3000]

Hardest Mission: Red Alert 12 (mission with Tanya)
Most worthless unit: Thief
Most overused map: Sedona Heights
Best commander: Romanov
Coolest base defense: Prism Towers

[EliteGi]

Seriously man, do you ever post in a thread that is ****ing active? Are you trying to annoy?

[JJFZ3000]

I wouldn't consider two months not active.

[Tesla]

dude, the last post in the thread was like more than 3 months before you first posted in it.

[Gaucho8788]

What is the deal with people opening old threads. I say if it's more than 2 to 3 months old then don't post in it. Nobody cares about it anymore, leave it alone.

[JJFZ3000]

Then should I just make a new thread with the same topic as the old thread?

[Annihlator :D]

Then should I just make a new thread with the same topic as the old thread?

well......yes, and then people might tell you to either search for the subject on the thread you opened if it is for information or to stop posting on this topic if it is about something else ( as this is) ;)

[Zardac the Great]

Ah, the eternal curse of those of us who come late to forums...

The good topics are already old, and the vets hate it when they're brought back, but if a new thread is made about the same topic, we are told not to repost an old topic.

[Nyerguds]

You're absolutely right.. there's no reason whatsoever to deny new people to post their experiences in this thread.

[apple23]

just post a new thread, rather than bumping a 4 month old thread, we won't bitch nearly as much about recreating a thread rather than bumping a 4 month old one.

[Statalyzer]

On this board it's not so bad, on boards where it means popping up something from page 2 or 3, then it's more annoying.

[Delta-4]

Well, since this thread has had a resurfacing of activity, albeit not the right kind, I might as well add my opinion.

Hardest Mission: Operation Stiletto - Nod Campaign, C&C3
I still don't know how I beat that thing. :dead:

Most Worthless Unit: Technician - Pre-Generals C&C Games
I've stated my opinion on this before. These things are worse than a guy with an oddball or flag VS a guy with an energy sword in almost any scenario.

Overused Map: I've no idea.
I rarely play online, so I don't really know.

Best Commander: Quite simple; Kane.
Next best thing to the player.

Coolest Base Defense: Obelisk Of Light - Tiberian Series
Giant laser spike FTW!

And yeah, it'd be better just to start a new topic on the issue rather than posting in a dead one.

[Statalyzer]

Posting a copy of a thread that's already on page 1 would not make much sense.

[Delta-4]

I don't think you'd be yelled at nearly as much...

[General Kane Nash]

Hardest Mission: Final RA1 soviet mission, the invasion of Great Britain, dont know how many times I were pawned.

Most Worthless Unit: Limpet Drone, man, no wonder Westwood became an EA company at the time of FS

Overused Map: Tournament Island

Best Commander: Kane... LIVES!

Coolest Base Defense: OBELISK of CABAL muahahahaha!

[apple23]

Hardest mission: General Leang from ZH on HARD. The only way i could survive is by making a fake base to the east and her attacking that, buying me time to recover from the earlier attack.

Most worthless unit: Tie between armed civilians (technicians and friends) and the limpet drone. Brute also makes it on the list with the TS jump trooper right behind it (the RA2 one is good, (still expensive though) but on TS, nobody wastes the money)

Most overused map: Unmistakenly Tour Of Egypt from YR

Best Commander: Tie between me and Kane :D JK, kane kicks ass

Coolest Base defence: Obelisk of darkness. That thing kicked some serious ass.
And i'm adding my own:

Coolest Unit: The Monster Tank from the RA1 missions
