I also hate it when you play something like city or fields when 5 apcs come running for the oblisk

How can you stop these mad hotwire/tech rushes without placing 34803849 mines =/

I really hate the map Islands though. I think whenever that map comes up from now on and I'm GDI, I'm quitting the game. The map is so BS: I only won once on GDI due to an amazing hotwire that drove around to each building in a jeep disarming nukes left and right. The map is slanted so far for Nod, it's pathetic.

Ok, enough ranting.

I usually play as a hotwire and I love doing rushes, esp. when the other team is sloppy. In one game, on Walls, their (Nod) Power Plant was completely unguarded. No prox mines, nothing. Actually, we first tried an air transport which was blown up. So I tried ground APC and had no trouble what-so-ever. Two hotwires, four bundles of C4 and an APC =). And then we prox mined around the MCT so they couldn't disarm it, hahaha. BOOM.

I feel islands is a very even map, whil nod has easy acces to buildings gdi can hit the hand of nod from the safety of there own base with 2 mrls's. the key to stopping nod is easy, first off check that little area where the tunnels open up into the gdi base{wish i had a map to show exactly where} its all the way to the right of the tunnels opening, every stealth soldier waits there for things to calm down{even i do} i once ran over 4 of em in a humvee on accident just by driving by that area! also when a beacon is placed in the gdi{and sometimes nod}base there is a 90\% chance that it is in the little area at the tiberium refinery where the truck unloads becuase its a good hiding spot and the truck can sometimes block the beacon. I hope these little hints help!

The apc/hotwire-tech rush is my preferred tactic
But in undefended maps i prefer car/hotwire-tech rush because this is cheaper and faster...

When very early rush doesn't succeed, this is often because of
- MRL/MA shooting at us.
- Car/apc blocking us (in defended maps with agt/ob)
- good infantry def which react cleverly when seeing us coming...

Hope this could help.

Well Woggy, I don't agree with blah blah etc etc!

You people and your quotes make the tread so long and sloppy! Use your brain

I love it when I walk by a stealth black hand and see him, but he obviously doesn't think I did. So I walk around behind him and C4 him.

A lot of times, though, you'll end up with 5 or 6 nuke beacons on a building so engineers have the impossible task on this map.

"If there was no god, itll be neccasry to invent him" my fav from the end of deus ex

All you really have to do besides laying a few mines inside the building is have two players purchase either a Light Tank/Mobile Rocket launcer (GDI) or the Stealth Tank/Light Tank for (NOD)and one engineer for repairing.
Have them place themselves by the entrances of the building at an angle ( so your free to fire at the incoming APCs/helos/you name it.......once they see that your blocking the way they get thrown off and rush whatever building is near them which usually results in death because the AGT/Obelisk nails their ace!
It works good because their armored enough to take a few C4 hits from the rushing engineers and by the time they reload they should be dead (depending on the skill of your teammates).........
This works particularly good against the rush of Stealth soldiers, all you have to do is rock the tank back and forth infront of the power Plant entrance and when they try to get past they get the good'ol "squish!"......
I've won more games this way when you have a team that understands what your trying to do and its usually the engineers that volunter because they spend most of their time in the base anyways........

If you have Defences, get a tank or APC and get in it's way. Let the Oblisk destroy it from a distance. Scouts can relay messages when the enemy is coming. It's great when 5 people run around getting boinked by your team and the Defences.

One of the few things I find annoying in the game. It's not all that hard to kill a hotwire/tech. But it's kinda hard to defend a defense-less base with hotwires/tech's coming from all sides by yourself. the third class would make it more enjoyable in my opinion.
