What did Westwood mean by this?
nod has a laser tower in the very first game?
Because GDI and its equivalents were military forces funded by rich nations. Nod and its equivalents were rebel separatists.
>Anon discovers a 5000 year old literary device> :O
>>740393874>Soviet tech is less advanced but cheaper and easier to mass produceThey just follow history, no?
>>740393874Blue for good guys and red for bad guys goes all the way back to the Prussian army and the original kriegsspiele (tabletop war games, originally invented as a training tool for their officers – the Prussian uniform was blue)
>>740393931>?not a question, rephrase and try again.
>>740393874just copying the formula set by Dune 2 - excuse the resolution it's from the remake, but "red guys have nuke and big tank that catastrophically malfunctions" was a thing back in early 90s
>>740394703Based.
>>740395773>bottom rightmost pointUhhhhhh which Scrin unit has a dedicated porn art following?Asking for a friend.
>>740393874Nod has lasers along with more advanced tech than GDI from Tiberian Sun onwards though
>>740395773How about... a daring subversion?
>>740393874nukes are gay, space lasers rule!
>>740396713He'd tank it
>>740396562Is this arguably the most iconic C&C live-action cutscene? Or would that honour go to Red Alert 2's intro?
>>740397185I prefer this one. We literally had an FMV of a live execution, with blood and all. We didn't know how good we had it.
>>740397185Red alert 2 intro is known outside of C&C fanbase for the premise of "Soviets invade America, oh no!"
>>740393874the 'west' are the only ones that think about biodegradability of bullets
>>740396713projected futurism is always cooler than actual future tech.Imagine modern combat games where half the war arsenal are cheap kamikaze drones and tanks with cope cages
>>740398013>Imagine modern combat games where half the war arsenal are cheap kamikaze drones and tanks with cope cages>cheapest early game unit in the game completely destroys everything else including ultra expensive late game unitswtf is this balance?
>>740395773Planetside 2 lol
>>740393874RA1 allies had nukes. The chronosphere is their secondary just like the soviet Iron Curtain. The Soviets also have the more expensive units and Tesla coils from the start, and outside of the chronotank, are always more technologically advanced than the allies.R2 soviets still has more expensive units, like the Rhino being the most expensive, but strongest basic tank. Depending on if you are playing the expansion or not, they also have functional cloning and literal mind control devices.
>Bad guys use tunnels
>>740393874Because nooks are bad except when used by the good guys then they are the trump card.
>>740397185
>RA3>Let's add a third faction of transforming units>... where half of them are only useful in one form
>>740402565>>RA3
Allies in RA1 and RA2 had nukes but Yuri neutralized all of them in the opening intro.That's why Einstein had to cough up with the Weather Storm, in RA3 there's no Einstein so there's no nuclear weapons for either side.
GDI is gold, not blue.
>>740395486Soviet tech was neither. It was expensive to produce and they cut costs to the point of making trash that doesn't work half the time
>>740403202Why the horrid aspect ratio?
>>740398450That's what I was thinking too man.
>>740396310>>740394703I just realized that they introduced the necrons that way in winter assault
>>740393874Who had biological weapons and technicals?
>>740403202fake news as verified by actual GDI fact checkers.
>>740408975fact check this!*terrorists u*
>>740393874ackhtullyyyynod had lasers, invisibility tech, cyborgs Cabal, etc...
>>740393874It's been a long time but I don't think the GDI had lasers. They had that sonic tank but everything else was ballistics. It was Nod that had lasers with the Hand of Nod and the fences.
>>740393874NOD has higher tech level than GDI and are known for lasers
>>740408975
>>740393874Nod was actually more advanced than GDI, its just so happen they use tiberium to make the nukes
>>740400240>R2 soviets still has more expensive units, like the Rhino being the most expensive, but strongest basic tank. Depending on if you are playing the expansion or not, they also have functional cloning and literal mind control devices.Allies have the more experimental stuff like the mirage tank and prism tank
KANE LIVES IN DEATH
I never really played Tiberium games, only Red Alert ones. I probably should.
>>740393874Good guys are the status quo and have the resources for high tech experimental stuff. Bad guys are underground faction rising up and tend to use more brutal and simple stuff.
>>740397331But RA2 has a telephone with antenna causing nukes to detonate in silo.
>>740393874Red sucks.Blue rocks.
>>740398296Zerglings shrek thors, it's true
>>740396562
>>740395773>at least one character associated with this faction has a dedicated porn art following
>>740393874Nod has more advanced tech thoughbeit
>>740416112There's this bizarre idea that more tech=more expensiveAnd yet irl the only thing it affects is size and manpower requirement, but not necessarily cost
>>740413631Before the soviet Yuri split, you could say allies had the "clean" experimental tech with their light beams, camo and trained sonic dolphins, while soviets went for the "dirty" tech with desolators, mind control (including giant squids) and clones. Always found it weird soviets kept the squids in YR, leaving Yuri with only one naval unit.
>>740416112Nod has a bit of both, their basic units are all underfunded terrorists in buggies but their endgame stuff is all black market cutting edge reverse engineered alien stuff.
YOUR FEELING OF HELPLESSNESS IS YOUR BEST FRIEND SAVAGE
>>740413631>more experimental stuffNigga, get real. You strait trippin. Hard brain washed.
>>740418137The product of a tortured brain!Power to overwhelm and destroy.
>>740418396This is a thread for RTS players, please leave your ebonics at the door.
HOLY FUCK TURN ON CNN
>>740395773Exactly metal fatigue
>>740396562IN THE NAME OF KANE!>KANE LIVES IN DEATH!IN THE NAME OF KANE!>KANE LIVES IN DEATH!IN THE NAME OF KANE!KANE LIVES!literal chills, Tiberian sun is such kino
>>740416051LMAO
>>740416585>Always found it weird soviets kept the squids in YRprobably because otherwise soviets wouldn't have a inmediate way of instantly disabling ships

>>740403202GDI sissies...
>>740393874>stealth tanks>cheap>obelisk of light>cheapWhat?
>>740416084wait a minute... that dog...
>>740393931Obelisk of Light.Pffh, laser tower...Nod also had stealth tech. In Tiberian Sun Nod was even more advanced with energy bomb planes and cyborg terminators.
>>740395754There are source ports that look way better than whatever you just posted
>>740396373None. Not humanoid enough
>>740420976Oh yeah they could definitely have used a replacement, maybe a Tesla based ship that froze out any attempts to launch aircraft.
>>740423084That would be cool considering how useless tesla tanks are
>>740393874Only nukes is really accurate here as it's a big no no for good factions. They canonically have them but just don't use them. Nod's nuke is stolen from GDI
>>740393874all of the villains meet up behind the scenes to share notes
we got the rockets
>>740396310expansion chads
Mental omega niggers get the fuck out
>>740426018did anyone actually mention mental omega before you made this post?
>>740426174Yesme
>>740428617Off you go then I guess.
