for the new command and conquer. Although Westwood will no longer be developing EA should do fine (think of them as Westwood's apprentice but lets hope it doesn't turn out like the relation between Obi Wan and Aniakin [I can hear the music now......]). I believe it will be in the original universe (Red Alert, Tiberian Dawn/Sun) not the new Generals universe. I am angry at DUNE because it stained Westwood, forever damning them.

People in Politics Know Nothing About Video Games
Why should the gaming industry be interrupted by the government because they government should focus more on Iraq (how suddenly they forget about that... ;) than games. People are too worried about this stuff so what if you see some ahem... a little before 18? You're gonna see it anyways!!! It is all because of some worried mom (like mine) that gets freaked about by everything. Then the government comes in and puts stupid laws on it which distracts them from Iraq (hmmmm....) and wrecks it. The government wrecks everything!!!!! Comic books!!!! Movies!!!!! Games!!! Whats next a book rating system!!!! I can imagine it now. Some books may have violence in them so you need to read it with a parent or you need to get your dad to buy Anatomy of the Human Female for your "Biology" Class.

Command and Conquer Time with WHOOPYOU9!!!!
Our first picture is of a new tactic I devised. This tactic is only effective when base defenses are not around or are down. If you're wondering why the truck is in the Weapons Factory i just drove through the door (I got out the same way).
Now I have some hints for all you C&C junkies out there some hints!!!!
Tactic for winning early.
1. On Volcano just get a ton of engineers to follow you the front way (no tunnels) to the respective vehicle production facility where you can destroy it. Also if you are GDI get a combination of Medium Tanks and MRLSs to take on the Power Plant BUT keep a tank or two out front to guard from rushes and maybe damage the Airstrip if you didn't listen to me earlier. If you are Nod get Mobile Artillerly to guard the tiberium and then rush the front with flamers and Stealth Tanks.
2. On Mesa the key is to get your sides respective artillery piece (GDI=MRLS and Nod=Artilllery) into the middle early. Also it doesn't hurt to put a few of the tanks on the side path to deter any APC rushes or Stealth Tank rushes (those are also valuable stratigies). If GDI does place tanks on the side path an Stealth Black Hand can hijack a few to even the score. Also if you are Nod watch for Gunners attacking your Refinery, even though this hardly works it does get points and forces some people to come kill you and then repair the Refinery.
3. On Under you need to just get tanks to control the middle. Also controlling each team's tunnel does help.
4. On Walls the key is to get the artillery pieces and just bombard the enemy. If you are Nod Stealth Black Hands in GDI's base can make a few tanks yours or you could place a beacon (see below). Make sure to keep snipers at bay or you will pay (especially when you have helicopters!!!)!!!!!. Also keep some Sydneys (With Ion Cannon) or Ravenshaws around to shoot any artillery and defending tanks.
5. On Complex if you are GDI just watch for Stealth Tanks. Just do what ever feels right for this map.
6. On City it is crucial that the first soliders in the field (right when you start) take the middle ground because that is crucial to keeping the enemy in defense mode. If you are Nod an EARLY Stealth Tank Rush will kill a few crucial buildings.
7. On Field it is crucial to take the middle ground early. GDI must cover the entrance to Nod's base with whatever tanks they can muster and Nod must get artillery and light tanks to take the field. IF NOD DOES NOT DO THIS THEY HAVE LOST!!!! Killing GDI's Weapons Factory is a mixed bag because GDI will camp in their base but you can keep pounding them with out interference.
8. On Canyon Nod needs to get artillery and bombard the WF through the small hole. IF NOD DOES NOT DO THIS THEY WILL LOSE!!!!! An early engie rush will often kill a key building early. GDI just needs to take the field and they will win. GDI can kill the ref by taking a few meds in the tunnel to bombard it or do an APC rush.
I think thats all the maps please tell me if you want more stuff like this.
Beacon Placements
1. The harvestor bay of the refinery. Wait until the harvy is close to the ref before placing it because it will block all repairs for a good 15 or so seconds enough time to get some help to kill the hopeful reapirers.
2. If you are Nod you can place it in the WF bay (where the vehicles are contructed). This is risky because a someone buying a vehicle will kill you but it will be worth it if you can get it in because any vehicles will kill the repairers.
3. If you are Nod you can place it behind the control panel inside the WF. Since only two or three people can repair this hard to spot beacon it should kill the WF.
4.The roof of any building on a flying map.
5. In Canyon GDI can put a beacon on the inside of turn in the tunnel where it will kill the airstrip.
6. In Field you can place nukes or ions in the tunnels that will damage the ref (put it close to the wall)
NOTE: #5 AND #6 MAY NOT BE ALLOWED ON SOME SERVER YOU MAY GET KICKED/BANNED!!!!!!.
Remember SBH are experts at being sneaky they can place beacon very effectively for Nod.
Funny Stories
One time I snuck into GDI's base as and SBH on Walls hoping to steal a tank. I got lucky when some guy parks his MRLS and runs away. I steal it and begin to pound the barracks and its health started to disappear even though there were like 10 people in there they didn't notice me until I killed the barracks and they killed my tank and me. Also one tank looked right at me but he just figured that I was on their team and just messing around.
Remember that SBHs are excellent at placing nukes
