Well these r my tips, I hope you find this helpfull for your future as a techy

Btw, hotwire/techie rules. It's the only infantry class I ever play besides stealth black hand.

Great thoughts overall. I'm compiling a list of "things to think about as a tech" so I can learn to play better. I really see the tech as the most (potentially) devastating infantry unit.

:::::::::::ATTENTION::::::::::::

Your remote c4, and timed c4, r also part of the 30 limit, so think before you drop. Once again , i say, talk to your teamates, communication is huge in this game, set proxies where they can not be seen, but will definatly be crossed. also, space them apart, when they r to closem, they set off others in a chain reaction. if you r going to place them if you stack three together, that should kill the enemy crossing it, also for percaution of a rush set another three several paces away to get the nest foe.

_::remember dont underestimate the retard::_

I went in and repaired the MCT (ahh, the wonders of not being a noobie and actually reading the manual) and stole all of their points while eventually becoming the MVP. Then I felt really bad for stealing, so just please, repair at the MCTs.

And another thing, listen carefully to what is written. Sometimes a commander is telling you to go out in the field, but you're to buzy running around and trying to repair buildings that have already been destroyed and meanwhile the strike force is getting its ass kicked. Don't just sit around and say, "I'll get to the airstirip that's in the red in a second! I'm still getting back the 2\% health on the hand of Nod with 98\% health!" and then start cursing at the guy who told you to repair the airstrip saying, "It's not easy to be an engineer! Why don't you try it... >SNIFF SNIFF<... WAHHHH!!!" If they have the time to give you orders while they're in the middle of dodging obelisk fire, I think you should listen to them.

To all you Tech lovers, you might blow your self up if you use the proxies to fight against infantry face to face. Im telling you , pull out that pistol and fire four rounds into there head

Not exactly... this one game today, I launched the game, but went away to get a snack. When I came back, I selected NOD(actually auto) and I got a technician to lay mines. Lo and behold, a GDI Mobius bursts into the Tiberium refinery right where I am, catching me by suprise. I lay a mine, he steps on it. I go back to the PT, e and 5. Lay another mine. E and 5. 1 last time, and he dies. I press F2 and ROFLMAO. It's so cheap being in your own base defending!

this is madly fun to do... nuke or ion cannon beacon, after you plant it, chuck the timed c4 down right next to it - it has a slightly (like, 10 seconds? 15) lower timer than the beacon, so they get like halfway through disarming the beacon, then *pop*... =)

Today i was playing, nothin unusual about that.I was playing at the map, Walls. And of course i was a hotwire for the gdi. But the junky thing was that there was two other hotwires placing mines inside the structures, a definate noob move when its early on in the round, and they r not even at your base yet. Not a good move. At this map the proximity mines should be in 2 places, at the high enterance to your base, and to the tunnel that starts in front of your base.
First, you plant underneath, plant a row of four a little ways into the tunnel and another row of four that r close to the first four, but wont explode when the first row gets triggered. That makes 8 down below, which leeves you with 22 left.
Furthermore, you should run to the front enterance and plant 3 rows of 7, all being spaced apart enough to not be effected if one of the rows, or a couple of the mines in the first row, is triggered.
Undoughtingly, alway keep your health at full, your pistol clip loaded(dont be scared to shoot them in there head), a full stash of 6 proxies in your pocket. once you see your name come up in the top left corner. you know its time to start setting mines.
In a sum up, this map has no defense tower for either side, no point in waisting your mines in your structures, cause there is no towers to kill the oncoming foot soldiers. That is the techs job. So place those proxies wisely at this map, and u too will have 1500 points,20 kills, and ranked in the top 5 to 10 payers, having fun , playing HARDCORE DEFENSE.

Tell me what you think about me and my advice, dont be shy. I am putting this up for the noobs to the advanced.
