Do you consider rushing cheating?

[Mina Synd 0]

yah i'm a GI and SEAL lover xD chrono commando almost always gets the top of my list though. (spare when the idiot tries to jump away from a war miner shooting him automatically and lands infront of a telsa coil which is literally off-screen) ... i mean come on though they are so cool. even for the price... could you imagine a chrono ivan rush? that would be hysterical

[Acerz492 1]

Been there done that...very hysterical indeed! :lol: :lol:

 

What can be very evil is loading up 9 hover transports with Terrorists...then Curtaining them outside an enemy base and sending them in. Perfect for people who place heaps of defences in the back of their base - send the transports there...then unload as the curtain effect begins to wear off. Absolutly -evil-

[Cygnus X-1 12]

or with demo trucks

 

too bad you cant curtain infantry though, imagin if 9 curtained Seals showed up in the base

[Mina Synd 0]

....o.O or you could just put 9 seals into 9 IFV's then curtain it? oo;

in all honesty though i hardly ever use the iron curtain. 90% of the time i use it to take out some enemy infantry for a laugh. it makes people so paranoid when you iron curtain the attack dog they are moving about manually XD

Another big tip, though not against rushing.

 

If you're china, or your ally is and can upgrade it to neutron shells, then get 1 of your own dozers, and 1 of your ally's dozer next to each other.

Fire the neutron shell at the dozers, and use your soldier to capture your ally dozer, and vice versa! Now you can build 2 techs :D

 

(does not work on GLA worker, just kills it)

o.o; wow... so simple and yet so complicated. all those times me and friends spent ages trying to capture enemy bases when we could have just done that ~.~;

thankies for that tip n.n

although i'm totally against rushing, could you imagine having all techs and being able to make an army using the best of all army units? oo

Heres a tip my weasel taught me.....

 

get an aegis cruiser stripped thrice and just keep clicking on the enemy kirovs to destroy their 30 unit rush in less than a minute.

[Acerz492 1]

It's hilarious to watch..the owner of those kirovs starts spamming you with long strings of curses. And you just say, "Well, I had to do -something- to stop you." :lol: :lol:

[Mina Synd 0]

o.O why doesn't the kirov owner just bomb the aegis...? i mean if he's got like, 30 only so many will die. i mean say he sends 10 after the aegis and the rest keep going, sure the aegis can outrun them but it will be busy killing the 10 while the other 20 go city-trashing oo

anyway, i favour GLA rushes. build several tunnels right outside his base and pop units in and out with scud launchers. rotate units quickly. once Cygnus attacked 1 of my tunnel networks near his base. I cleared it in my own base. filled iy up with RPG guys, popped out, demolished the tanks, popped back in and rotated it back with tanks. i keep 1 tunnel for each type of unit in the game. 1 tunnel specifiaclly for rotating guys, with guys surrounding it, ready to go in any second.

 

same with tanks and everything else.

 

my favorite tactic. scud launcher pop our, fire, pop back in, pop out, fire, back in. it drves the enemy nuts!!

 

and i usually rush with like 15-20 tanks as early as possible. while my tanks are keeping them busy, i work on heavy firepower and then bring them in like overlords once my enemy feels relieved that he killed all of the tanks, only to find more deadlier ones coming towards his base. use planes or scud launcher to soften things up at 1 base entrance, then all out attack on the other side!

[Cygnus X-1 12]

its a good strategy, the swapping in and out of Tunnel networks

 

totaly pwned me when we battled

[Mina Synd 0]

...that's why i hardly ever play online... sure it's inventive and fairly skillful but it's irritating as hell ¬.¬

[Azrael 0]

Humvee rush.... Very annoying but effective if you're using it. Can beat most opponents.....

[Arificial 0]

If anyone thinks a rush is cheating, I suggest going to NOOB school, cause you're going to get owned every single time you play. No one wants to hear the whiney crap that comes out of your mouth every time someone BUM rushes you, and get totally dominated. So if you are one of those people, Don't go against me, I will waste everythng you have, but sometimes I am nice and will let you have a barrack, or a war factory to gain some points before I enilate you with my Kirov Airships and Apocalypse tanks.

[GeneralZ 0]

I'd stick to grizzlies and prisms and mirages if i were u, with 1 or 2 BFs for support AA and tank support.

 

Anyways, I;m better in Generals than RA2, and I can be an effective rusher when theres not 10 or 15 minute no rush rule

[Cygnus X-1 12]

none of you know the meaning of the word RUSH till you've played the 2 clowns I played yesterday...

 

literally over 300 Apocs and Seiges...

 

The map kinda prevents early rushes, if anyone wants it, I'll send it to the files section here

[Mina Synd 0]

....oh joy i have to type out all over again since the forum crashed my message ;

in short, anyone can do a 200+ tank rush. the rest of us simply choose not to because it's too easy. see there's no challenge or moral victory if you simply walk over your opponant to the point they have no hope of even surviving 10 minutes, let alone winning. it's all fair enough slagging off all the people that do this "fair battle" thing with comments like the n00b school one, but then again the people who do fight fair know that there is something to be gained from winning a hard fought cause. If you need such a shallow victory using a godly rush to help your ego, your life must be pretty hollow and depressing. or maybe you're just making up for a lack of something elsewhere hmmm? i'll simply say "intelligence" so this doesn't drop into a gender war ^.~

Mina... if the game rules allow it, then it is not unfair! Holy cow! The only real cheating is ACTUAL cheating (trainers, etc)! If you're really that good, then you can handle someone who rushes. If it's such a mindless and unfair strategy, then use your vastly superior intellect to run circles around them! Geez, will you just stop with the whining? :roll:

[GeneralZ 0]

my tactic to counter rushing is to rush first, before they do

Whatever works dude. It's all good :wink:

 

People need to stop whining about these valid strategies... if they work, they're legit!!

back on the aegis trick...

 

the owner of the kirovs cant possible drstroy the aegis cuz it never stops firing. it looks like a solid beam of light :? :lol:

[Acerz492 1]

Ever changed the .ini coding so that when elite it fires red-trailed missiles? Man that looks soo sweet. Looks awsome on the Harriers/Black Eagles, Hornets and Ospreys as well

[Mina Synd 0]

... o.O i think this is that "dangerous hobbies" thing on the male mind picture raising it's head...

and the idea of the kirov fighting the aegis wasn't so much to actually destroy the cruiser, but so that they could distract it's fire while the other 20 go base raiding o.o;

[Cygnus X-1 12]

and when they get over land they run into all the GGI's deployed and firing like theres no tomorrow

 

in the map I had mentioned, you have virtually unlimited moneys, but it is impossible to croos the center of the map for 25 mins due to some "complications"
