One thing I learnt from playing this mission and the previous one: Slow and steady win the race. The faster you build or upgrade with your tech, the faster and higher frequency of attack from both sides. :O
Yea. they had a mechanism like that in C&C Generals. like.. when u cross 5000$ they'll launch the scud storm, so the trick in the mission was to keep your credit below 5000, Fun Good games
I didn’t know that! And if thats true its cheating! I got continuously invaded by scrin air units. They kept coming one after another, assaulting me relentlessly didnt even give me time or room to breathe. I hot pinned down played defensive until ion cannon was ready.
such triggers are bullshiet and no wonder C&C franchise gone down to oblivion while SC2 lives to this day. And despite C&C3 has more interested story than SC2 Hots and LotV
The bonus objective for super weapons can be completed even if the Rift Generator ends up destroyed. By capturing Drone Ship or Nod Construction Yard and building the Superweapon. Even if the bonus objective has been crossed out...doing that auto completes it.
Nice, this is actually almost identical to how I recently finished the mission. Surprisingly it is actually pretty easy, once you cap the close base you build around it and use it really as a center of operations.... holds all the alien ships at bay!
The patch made it ridiculously difficult Nod is way more fun (maybe) Well I hope we see you play Tempest Rising & Dune: Spice wars in the future when they're finished developing
@@whateven2207 Yeah the Tripod spam they do at the finale is irritating & on Nod sarajevo campaign The other Nod traitors get a promotion right of the bat (heroic BTW) How is that fair ?
@@dhruvo100 They patched it and nerfed it to where the difficulty takes the fun out of this game. If you want to ruin a long series of games EA is great at it.
What game's version do you have ? In my game's version - this mission begin from identifying both super weapon. And raid huge scrin's army (annihilator tripods) to my base.
version 1.09 from Steam 4:23 as you can see I captured the Rift Generator. I have another video with a bad ending: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jBeOgh5N35w.html
Personally this mission is easier than Berne with failure of early strike at eastern base. I just used bunch of Firehawks, Rift generator, Ion Cannon after capturing southern Scrin drone platform.
I'd trust Sam Fisher(General Granger) a lot more than Lando(Boyle)... One, moral conscience and two, saving myself from getting my neck snapped in the shadows...
@@sucevicpredrag3915 There's a big difference between a spy and an unwitting pawn and it's quite clear Boyle fits the latter just like any bigheaded corrupt politician.
I always choose this ending for moral conscience too. Plus as a member of a military organization who objective is to erradicate the Tiberium from earth always will trust the one who most time expended on that objective. And the one who really hate Aliens Invaders, be frigging bugs or reptiles visitors.
Realistically, why would you listen to the treasury director? Every. Single. Choice he's made in this entire campaign has been WRONG. Ordered the attack at Sarajevo; that was costly and ended up with the loss of a lot of lives. Use the ion cannon on temple prime, it triggers a liquid tiberium explosion so massive it summons the scrin in the first place. Use the ion cannons on the incoming scrin ships, they split up into multiple smaller ships and spread out across the planet And now he wants me to use a bomb filled with liquid tiberium, the stuff that got us into this whole mess in the first place, at THE ground zero of the whole tiberium infestation, probably THE most tiberium infested area on the whole plamet? I mean that's just mental. Ion cannon on liquid tiberium created a big enough of an explosion to cover most of eastern Europe. Liquid tiberium on THE source of tiberium on Earth might just be the way to guarantee our extinction
@@sucevicpredrag3915 no, Boyle is Kane "puppet", not spy. Boyle does not work for Kane; Kane only let him survive because he's a greedy politician, an idiot and would run GDI into the ground. All this information, however, is irrelevant in the context of you being the GDI commander living in that world, and not the player character playing the game from an outside perspective. As the GDI commander, you wouldn't know anything about Kane's plan to let Boyle live and become the GDI leader; you could only make your decision to trust Boyle or not based on his actions and decisions thus far, which you HAVE witnessed. And thus far, Boyle has been nothing but an incompetent glory hound more concerned with his public image than anything else, who ordered using the ion cannon on temple prime DESPITE the general's warning and causing the whole invasion in the first place. GDI KNEW Nod had a liquid tiberium device on site, GDI KNEW Kane was up to something with that device and GDI KNEW using the ion cannon on the liquid tiberium could have devastating consequences but Boyle didn't listen to ANY of that and used the ion cannon anyway
@@floricel_112 & yet GDI kept a liquid Tiberium bomb & maintains a stockpile of Nuclear missiles & they pushed out 50% of the world population to the yellow zone
@@AcidiFy574The one responsible of the 50% of the population living in the Yellow Zones is the Tiberium with the help of Nod. GDI at least try to preserve the most they can what remains of the original pre-tiberian world.
Use a commando to destroy their tech building. The tiberium chemistry plant. It gives them those abilities. It's located to the left from their main base, where tiberium fields are. You can also blow up the cloak towers while going there.
@@jacksonjessup6331 There is no difference between steam and origin versions. Both have been updated to 1.09. This was the latest and final patch. As of October 2007, there are no balance fixes or other official patches. I've completed this mission 6 times. Sometimes Nod attacks you with the Catalyst Missile, sometimes not. This is always a different scenario.
I get that too! and they attack concurrently with the Scrin! Annoying as hell! What I did was: I do not rush to build Tech Centre first. Spam Predators to north of your base to hold the Nods wave, once the wave stops, finish off the cloak and quickly come back to base to defend.
I won this by figuring out a way to capture and defend the rift generator not easy on hard mode but doable, you esentially inch closer with your 3 tanks and commando to the bridge then build apcs 10 of them put the commando and some engineers and go capture it all 50 sec before the clock is enough time, then capture everything south east for money, let nod fight it out with scrin then go in and clean up, then after that its confusing cause i have 2 nuclear weapons + TIB and not sure which order to destroy stuff cause i have everything under control , if i use tib close by everything even my bases get destroyed , I wanted bad ending so the only place to detonate the TIB is north west
How can you trigger the Mothership going on nod base? I try doing it by diverting it on the Nod temple but it didn't work and prceed back on going in my base.
@@hdwidk if it's a glitch but when I do that and got a check for the bonus objective... The mothership went into the Nod base.. Got scared by Attack Bikes...goes to my base...
No that's cool, Let me fight against fucking 10 PLANET ASSAULT CARRIERS BEFORE I HAVE MY FORWARD BASE SET UP. The level of difficulty of this level is frustrating in the extreme. More so when I start being slaughtered by planetary assault carriers which pop out every couple seconds in pairs.
Stay away from the blue tiberium fields because sending units to the blue tiberium area triggers to generate the endless attack of planetary assault carriers.
@@hdw A better option might be capturing the drone ship above rift generator in early game (a few more tanks + tower rush, no even casualties with some micros. The first wave of Nod attack can be handled by APC’s mine and newly built predator tanks. A shit ton of AA batteries is needed if you want to keep the rift generator for later, otherwise just sell it). With the drone ship, build 8 -12 storm riders and devastator warship/carrier won’t be a problem anymore. Then you can clear the control node with your own devastator warship + super weapons (12 storm riders + 6 devastator warships should be enough to clear the left side of the map, despite the difficulty).
