Don't bring an engy, makes it a lot easier to kill fools in the tunnels.
I always start this map off the same way, by getting a rifle soldier and rushing the enemy base to see how many people I can kill. If I make it to the base I feel pretty good about the performance, and then I usually c4 the Hand.

On Nod I used to do the rush in the tunnels but lately I've been putting down some remote c4 on the Refinery floor and lighting up any GDI fools who dare enter! Those sneaky GDI folks like to make a run for the Refinery while the rest of their team is making a run for the HON.
If I'm on GDI I usually clean the tunnels with a TAR Sydney. After that I'll usually guard the base from SBH nuke/C4 rushes.

I wonder if there is a good opening strategy I could adopt.
Ideas?
I usually grab a shotgunner and wait for you ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif) That said, I dislike Islands and Walls (flying or non) simply because I don't like this type of rush. Can be good for a fragfest though...

Start with shot gun soldier dash. Often can frag at least 2 before getting killed. If I am Nod I will grab an Art and pound the Ref or WF. If I play as GDI I will save up for a mammy and camp by Barr and Tush the tunnel to death. Once I scored over 40 kills this on the Pits

Meanwhile back at the ranch, they have already destroyed 2 buildings and you're in the middle of nowhere with a free charachter.
Same on Complex. Rush through the tiberium, sneak behind the air/bar and get the refinary. Works 7/10 times...
Organize 5 soldiers for a rush. Use the tunnel less traveled. Have everyone plant thier timed, and then raise some heck while defending. You will die eventually then get your high dollar charachters, or a med. Base defense is FAR more important after the initial rush. I have seen this level beat in 5 minutes due to a lack of defense.

I LOVE non-defense maps, that's what the game is all about. You need to be good to succeed.
On defense maps like Hourglas or Under it's always the same camping and field controlling, extremely boring, although there are exceptions like City!

If starting with no money I get an basic engineer and if you can get a buddy to go with you take the long way around to enemys refinery, most people take the tunnels leaving field somewhat clear. If you get away with this good bye refinery!
If starting with money say 1000+ the game can go either way, depends how smart your team is. There are so many methods but in the end it is team work. If I started Nod it would be stealth attack, if starting GDI I would Medium Tank attack. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

On islands, (GDI), I like to save up until I get a rocket soldier (never a Gunner, what a waste of cash) and go shoot HoN for easy money. Though after about 3 minutes of being up there, you gotta watch out for NOD snipers. Getting about 3 guys with rockets early in the game can do some damage. Teamwork is the key to every map. For NOD, I just sit tight until I can geta cloak trooper, then run around and blow stuff up. Islands is a really easy map to sneak around in, though the tunnels arent good sneaking spots.

Take a shotgunner and go for the tunnels. In the tunnels, there are pillars/outjuts every so often on each side. Get to the first one then hide behind it, making sure to be close to the wall. If nobody is comming, move to the next one. When you see someone, wait for them to pass you. 9 out of 10 times they will. Then turn and BOINK.
Rinse and repeat.
