>>750298165built for dr thrax
>>750297542because you can squish people with tanks
>>750298165Meanwhile this is how USA is portrayed:>Paladin tank in the field. We fight for peace. Preserving Freedom. Protecting our people. It’s the right thing to do.>*sees defenseless GLA worker*Is there a threat? If they don’t move, they’ll be crushed.>*runs him over*>muffled “AAAAIIIIIIEEEEE I JUST WANTED SOME SHOES” scream in the background
>>750298372Yes cumrade.
>>750298372China dozer literally says if they are protesters and to run them over thoughever.
>>750298450>alt+click infantry"What are they? Protesters?"
>>750298531The quotes to run over people are not ingame
>>750298593censors don't play the game, they look through the loose files
>>750298841I mean that as far as I know there is no command to make your vehicles run over people. You see the AI use it, but as the player you just have to click your vehicles past enemy infantry to run them down
They're probably also upset about the propaganda tanks and the hackers stealing money.
>>750299002Alt+mouse click has been a thing since at least RA2.
>>750297542IIRC the cited reasons were the major terror attacks depicted on famous Chinese landmarks.
>>750299039I'll try it but I've been playing since like 2007 and never saw it happen. If the game alt tabs you're fucked
>>750297542it accurately portrayed the ccp army employing thousands of wumao nerds on laptops that spam the internet with propaganda. So it hit too close to home
>game starts with a military parade and civilians being nuked in THE fucking forbidden cityIt had no chance. The game was so based for its time, and back then you didn't have to care much about the Chinese market. It's probably the biggest reason the game will never ever be remastered like the other cnc games, because EA refuses to hurt the feelings of 1.4 billion zhongguo renmin. At least arab countries were able to have fun and enjoyed the GLA.
>>750299747>>750299180copeChina can turn your shitty country to glass.
>>750299886theres not enough nukes in the world to turn australia into glass. its a big continent.
>>750299981why would China nuke a Chinese colony?
>>750299886China was the weakest faction in the game. The tank general in particular was trash, bottom of the bin.
>>750300080USA superweapon is the worst.
>>750300128Not at all. She's bad if you have fags limiting her to one particle cannon and even banning her aurora bombers, but she can still spam humvees that run circles around tank. Tank's early game is horrible, he is forced to build a nuke silo (but never actually use it if banned) just to get his overlord upgrades, his hackers cost more which hurts his late game, his air is very expensive nad he has no artillery. In comparison nuke general is base china but better, and his overlords are fully upgrades the moment he can make them.
>>750300438Superweapon's humvees cost more than other USAs which really sucks no matter which way you look at it.
>>750300741You trade slightly more expensive humvees for>emp patriots who rape EVERYTHING non infantry in a single hit>alpha auroras who rape blobs of unity and can bypass any base defense and obliterate your base if you want to sacrifice them
>>750300916against ai maybe. As for actual competitiveness>USA air > Toxin/Stealth > China infantryrest are shit
this game was unusually good and underrated. Its like the new vegas of rts with out the trannyism.
>>750301084In what world is generals underrated? You literally can't discuss it without politics being brought up which is why it's not a c&c game.
>>750300916Static D is never good in online games. It's too much of an investment especially in the early game, too easily outmaneuvered and overwhelmed. The emp patriots have the problem where they all link up and target the same unit, and their slow attack speed means they often overkill wand waste damage. In that sense the laser general turrets are arguably better, but still not good.Her alpha auroras are great, but some people include them in a banned list of units/abilities in an attempt to balance the game.
>>750300916if you play rts games defensively you're a retard.
>>750301219never encountered that. I mean its underrated in the sense its the best of the mine shit and build shit then spam tanks and A-click genre
>>750300080Against AI you can literally pick China Infantry general and build 3 barracks quickly enough that 7 allied max-difficulty AIs will just sell all their buildings and surrender. If they dont you can just spam minigun troops so quickly that nothing can just get close except for Scuds, which 1 plane can take care of anyway.
>>750301367>>750300438>bans everything good about character/faction>"Wow this character/faction is underpowered, garbage tier trash"Why are compfags like this in every game?
>>750297542>Arabs are turrists>Arabs love it
>>750302094The base game's balancing does really suck. GLA in general is too powerful, especially demo. China is too weak. Bans happen if there is no counterplay or if the game is less fun with the thing allowed, that definitely applies to alpha auroras. It's almsot impossible to kill them before they one shot whatever they were targeting. If banning that one unit makes the entire faction garbage, oh well. If superweapons are allowed in games bigger than 1v1 like 4-8 player ffa, people just turtle and try to spam them which is gay. Another banned unit is nuke general neutron shells, because too many empty vehicles on the map literally makes the game crash.
>>750302412I think demo general's main thing was terror cars on one specific map. Otherwise the real asshole was stealth gla. If you could steal a dozer people would instantly quit.
>>750303662It's the demo bikes. They're fairly cheap and build fast, they move super fast and ignore a lot of terrain, once you get the bomb upgrade they basically explode twice.
>>750303778I feel like I never got a whole lot out of the demo bikes after focusing so much on tunnels, trucks full or rpgs or terrorists, and then finally just overwhelming the other guys with superior numbers.The bikes weren't even that widespread of a tool, were they? Like I feel as though building tunnels in someone else's base was the more common thing that drove people nuts.
>>750304129Bikes are a meme unit outside of demo. They would help getting a jarmin kell somewhere fast, but that's not really significant. You underestimate how quickly a GLA demo can rush the bikes by selling their starting CC. You can use the bikes to dozer hunt USA/china super early into the game, or crash into their supply center when they don't have money to rebuild it unless they sell a bunch of other structures, things like that are auto gg.
>>750304235But you'd ALWAYS sell the CC. I can prove the demo bikes weren't a thing but I feel like I did every other bullshit trick there was. Like, yeah, GLA sucked and were busted, but even with Demo I feel like the bikes came a little too late to beat out something like terror cars.
