What a wicked game!!! :D
Had a base based around "escape from new york" massively thick concrete walls, combined with basically a 10 layer thick wall of turrets. All the way around the base :D
Still lost however, as as soon as any enemy stood on the other side of the wall the front row of turrets would all open fire, and VOILA!!! bye bye intricate concrete wall! :(
Was impressive to watch mind and got a "Woooaaahh!" from the dude. :D lol. By the time he made it through the wall of turret death he faced another couple layer thick wall of pillboxes and then followed by camo pillboxes all over the base :D lol.
Took him ages to break through but after he shot my ore trucks to death and I ended up out of dosh with no war factory even as Id spent all my money repairing turrets. He managed it :D lol.
What a wicked time! :)
To play RA and C&C 1 online just install westwood chat (the latest version google it) and just connect with a username and password (no need to register it), it connects to a mirror server that folk keep up to play all the C&C games on :)
i do believe i may have to aquire this...
I remember back in the day playing this on two playstations with a link cable just about every weekend, must have played for hundreds of hours :D. Thing was with the power of the old playstation once you got a hundred or so tanks each the slowdown was incredible. You had to have a major battle just to improve the frame rate.
I used to set up a similar defence with russian zapper towers, except no wall damage :)
Computer attackers have no chance due to heavy AA cover and human ones are guaranteed heavy casualties too unless they use long range bombardment.
lol aye, well the disadvantage with the russians despite their kickass tanks and defences, theres nothing that can compare to the "GPS satellite" that the allieds have.
With that I was able to create chokepoints and close off the rearward entrances to my base. :D lol
"They dont like it up em sir!!! They dont like it up em!" :D
Think Ill be playing some a little later, once some of you get hold of Red Alert 1 let me know, Ill talk you through using the mirror servers (its really easy) and we can have ourselves a wee battle! :D
C&C Red Alert a all time classic game me and my mates used to have tournaments via link up on our Playstations great fun.
lol come play it online!!! :D
I ended up playing the counterstrike ant missions afterwards.. :D lol currently on mission 3. Gas the nests.. but I left my base last night being completely overrun by ants, and not being able to defend my ore trucks :(
