Man - this is so cool! I thought you guys were joking, but last night I tried it and it works! I was on gdi in the fields map and stole the nod harvester. Drove it right back into their base - still don't know why the obelisk didn't toast me, but was able to squish a mendoza and a sakura before hopping out and c4ing the obelisk to oblivion. Then I got back in and drove it back to the field to fill up on tiberium before taking it back to base. I got 1,000 game points for delivering the full load and ended up mvp. It was awesome! Didn't work the next game - guess I needed to be a hotwire to make it work. Anyway, thanks for the tip!!

You know the roof hatches in buildings? If you get on top of the building you can crawl into a tunnel, and you get a vent you can shoot through - the tunnel's too small for anything larger than a pistol though. It's not easy to get on top of the buildings though, I bet we'll see this tactic a lot more when aircraft are in. I usually try to shoot the engies repairing a building that is under attack. They often won't notice because the building is shaking and stuff. Those explosions.. they don't cause damage, it's the guys hiding in the hatch.

I can't believe we've actually given away some of these secrets. I mean, Flame tank rushes were SOOO MUCH FUN before EVERYONE found out you could do it. Now they are just boring. I used to be able to get in the harvester all the time, now it's always full!!! I'm glad, in a way, that we released this info, but on the other hand, do you ever think it's not always such a good idea to give away your secrets? I really wish there weren't so many people trying to get in the harvy now. Since this post started, I've only been able to get in like two or three times. Ohhh well. People will get bored and go back to their stealth tanks eventually. Zukkov, I swear to God, if you blow the secret on Island's map about the *U-KNOW-WHAT-SECRET-VEHICLE*, I'll find your house, Lurk outside of your window, and take pictures of you looking at internet animal porn. Don't think I won't do it!!!

Revenge, tonight in Field something happened to our harvy driver, he hit our W Factory and got stuck, a team mate was hitting him trying to get him unstuck; so I started flaming the harvy driver just for a joke, but I guess he took it personally because I was a hotwire and was trying to squezze past him and get in the WF door and the dame beggar pinned me, I was stuck for 3 min's, til a mate rammed him good and released me. It's funny though as this post we've all said a little good and bad about harvy drivers, but be carefull when your in a game what you say, cuz they can be downright nasty.

And when Harvy drives get nasty..... watch out. If there is a known vehicle stealer in game, I'll often try to get the harvy and do just what the driver in your game did. The best is pinning them in the WF, and having someone else buy something....BOOM. No more tank stealer.

You have a valid point, but sometimes when I'm battle weary, it's nice to sit high up in the good ole hary and watch the battle rage on around me. You just have to turn your speaker volume down, as the noise it makes extracting the tiberium is crazy!

it does'nt seem to be happening as much as server host must be tossing people who make a habit of it. if you're bummed and you have enough money for another purchase vehicle, just trail the ******* and push him into enemy fire. then inform him who did it.

the best tactic EVER is using a spy to become a NOD player... taking over the enemy's harvy...and driving the little sucker back in with 4 ion cannon beacons. I rule.
