The Mobile Construction Vehicle was the key to winning the battles of WWII. Soviet and Allied armies utilized them to create fire bases on the front lines, allowing for rapid deployment of troops and vehicles needed to reinforce positions and continue the war effort. Ultimately this proved to be most successful for the Allies as their ability to entirely cloak their bases with Gap Generators, and being able to hide their MCVs with Mobile Gap Generators allowed them to set up in positions not even a mile away from Soviet fortifications and battle lines - effectively slicing their balls off from behind without ever being detected.

The model was done by Sir Phoenixx, and everything else including the bridge was done by myself. The bridge is making an appearance in Super Bridgehead, the reincarnated form of the original Red Alert game level that appeared in the Counterstrike expansion pack.

its not bad, but kinda pointless creation in Renegade, i mean, what you gonna do, buy one and drive it around?

i can see some SP things involved with it, or a "defend the convoy" type scenario, but im just not excited about it cause its pretty much just eye candy.

Umm... Technincally, Red Alert wasn't WWII, WWII was Allies vs Axis. Slight error. Confused

The war occuring between the Allies and Soviets is their WWII. WWI happened, WWII was stopped by Einstien only to begin yet again.

The MCV will appear in Defend the MCV levels, Assault, and especially in single player where it's imperative to defend it in order to allow it to deploy into a Construction Yard and begin creating other structures.

The MCV always was my favorite unit. Looks great. :thumbsup:

Just wish it had a few blue highlights, since blue is my favorite color. Razz

That is done very perfectly, as i can see you didnt go overboard with this one at all, which is great. 5 sided cylinders, thats good considering the size of the bridge, and the detail per support.

The only thing i'd like to know, is if infantry can jump over those walls, and how many metres long the bridge is. What's the polygon count, without the Mcv, and how wide are the paths on either side of the road part.

What kind of terrain will the bridge be going over? Like for instance is it a water span bridge, or will it go over large elevated areas etc. It just seems that if i saw that bridge, id see alot of architecture being the same in that area, meaning alot of log cabins, and alot of stucco usage.


The only thing that looks out of place is the whiteness of the supports, as in the render you can see its more of stucco , rather then a concrete, and toned down alot more. Otherwords its looking very good, i can't wait to see this bridge featured in some maps.


It looks like you spent a great deal of time just getting that scene correct, which looks very similar to the renders.

Sorry, we're not in the business of adding non-existent detail so you'll find something else to complain about just for the sake of doing so.

You are an idiot. Telling me "more detail" means absolutely nothing. It's another way for you to troll the forum. If you actually pointed out what you wanted added to it, I would look into doing it. Since you didn't bother, I told you exactly that - we don't add "detail" for the sake of adding it. Explain what you want or shut the hell up.

Ok.

The back lacks more like plain colour, other than a real texture seen in our world. Because of this, it looks very cartoonish, as seen from the front view.

But you already knew that, right? Seeing how you constantly judge and bash... maybe it's just that you have too much pride and you just can't take critisism?

Don't worry, I don't plan on asking because I don't want to know. Just thinking of marchingband with violent orgy makes me feel sick as it is.

This is a unit that isn't in our world. The metal compounds on it are not going to look exactly like steel, aluminum, iron, or whatever else is used to construct vehicles. It expands and turns into a full-service Construction Yard - it's not meant to be the way you think it should. The lighting I used is also a factor in why it looks the way it does, because I increased the ambient lighting in order to show everything on it.

In-game, it looks fine just the way it was meant to.

I take criticism fine, I have little pride. If you stopped assuming so much you'd probably understand that.

So er, the Construction yard is expanded from a cartoonish looking truck?

WTF? What a tool. After all the bullshit you gave Renardin about his "plastic toys". In the end all we had to do is say that and everything would have been fine?
