Where are the walls?!

[BlackStorm]

Greetings all. Being a huge C&C fan (played the original when it first came out) I'm VERY disappointed that C&C has no buildable walls. The first had 3 wall types, the 2nd had 2 wall types, now...NONE!:mad: There goes my super base!

Anyone else bugged by this? Half the fun I had was building a massive base with an insane defense and then going out and destroying everything. Grrrr.....

Adapt and overcome. :p

Well I'm not saying the game is bad or anything, just the fact that I miss building walls. The defense tactics possible in this game don't need walls, granted, but that's beside the point.

Maybe they didn't want walls. Maybe they wanted to discourage the wall-building tactic.

Wouldn't this be up to the player though? I don't see the harm in it. I used walls more for fun than anything else, but that comes from me loving to build bases.

Over with. Like quick dreadnoughts, base walking, and dog fodder, they were dumped in a big hole with all the other obsolete tactics.

If you can make the game everything you want it to be without walls, (and Generals proved you could), then you don't need walls.

Oh, and by the way, you can STILL "build an insane defense and then just go out and destroy everything". In fact, I think this is the first C&C that you can accomplish that in real games.

It's been said in the past - The coding for walls is indeed in the game, If you can find it you can probably enable them to be built, or just wait for a modder to add it in.

In the older games what I liked to do was organize my base using the walls. I've been able to get over the fact that their not in this game but it would be nice to see them again.

I can imagine walls being pretty useful against the Scrin...:chin:

Until they use Devastator Warships or the like. Then walls are kind of obsolete.

I heard (as many of you had) that wall coding is still in, just disabled. Most likely a modder could reenable walls. (And hopefully stop all this whining :p)

To the contrary, walls are actually a pretty good defense when up against the airforce of the Scrin. This is because most Scrin air units tend to be inaccurate and do little damage per shot, meaning that the wall will most likely survive and allow you more time to focus on the enemy's air force while the ground units are forced to go around the walls as well (even the Scrin ground troops seem to suck at killing walls).
