The Marv is really nice, but overall, not much new.

 

[Sonic 296]

Good show overall. There was plenty of new stuff in that episode. The 2 v 2 Kane's Wrath matchup on the new map was a bit disappointing though, probably because the players were new to all the new units and powers.

 

And what I can say GDI's Epic Unit, the MARV, other than its BIG. I can just hear the hardcore TS fans crying because it wasn't the Mammoth MK2 or another version of it.

Perhaps that it kicks major ass! Even a Mammoth MKII one

 

No, really. Not only is this unit big, powerful and enduring, but its also versatile due to the four "hardpoints" and the ability to "strip" Tiberium.

 

This unit alone is worth purchasing the expansion, imho.

 

Ad MK2: Its good that not all three epic units are mechs, and it wouldnt fit into the storyline anyways.

 

Would be nice though if youd have the option to "resurrect" one.

 

 

Also, it kills units by jumping on them. And the turret rotates!

They didn't even choose fairly. There was a match the day before, and it was announced that the winner of that match would be featured.

 

Instead, they cancelled that, and after everyone was getting ready to leave the summit, they just decided to throw in the last guys who happened to be there.

 

The german kid who looks like harry potter pissed me off. I was trying to explore the new units and factions, and he beat me (and everyone else) by simply spamming the basic scorpion tank.

 

 

I was really mad about all of this.

[sith_wampa 6]

Fake Temple? People hardly build superweapons anyway. But I liked that massive Tiberium explosion thing that Nod used.

[Luk3us 63]

Yeah, I heard over at GR about all these so called "fake" matches for this show or something.

 

But that aside the show was pretty good. Now just need some Scrin information and we're set to go.

[TheBlackOut 7]

That big thing has "hardpoints"... Like UaW walker hardpoints? ....

[Alphabear 11]

Reminds me of the westwood design for the mammoth tank with the triple barrels

[sith_wampa 6]

That big thing has "hardpoints"... Like UaW walker hardpoints? ....

 

I think they were just talking about the Orcas...

They were talking about that big unit... thing.

[Luk3us 63]

Yeah, they are kidna similar to what is done in UAW. Instead of building a hardpoint weapon, you garrison a unit.

Yep. Pi** off is more like it, but hey this unit might be worth it. At least the Titan and the Wolverine is back.

 

The HardPoints are probably infantry garrisons. Idk. Has it been confirmed that this unit can be upgraded like the Nod Epic Unit?

[Guest Rabbit]

The Marv has four garrison slots, and it basically scoops up tiberium as it drives. Like, literally, if it drives over a tiberium field, the field will be gone in seconds.

 

Well... minutes, considering the slow speed of the thing.

 

Mobile Anti Riparius Vehicle was my nickname for it, though I'm not sure if that was the actual name.

 

Once units are garrisoned in any of the four slots, the Marv is upgraded to the maximum, and the units can not be released.

 

The main turret is strong against buildings... but buildings only.

Yeah, they are kidna similar to what is done in UAW. Instead of building a hardpoint weapon, you garrison a unit.

Which makes it RA2 (IFV) not UaW

 

The peeps at the Petro forums ripped it apart...

 

Alphabear: Oh, any pics of that concept?

 

Zee: Mounted Assault (Garrisonable) and Reclamation Vehicle

I'm very glad to see Kane's Wrath is gonna follow the story of Tiberian Sun/Firestorm, more than C&C3 did. I'm looking forward to it

Totally agree mate.

Did you guys see the Cabal wallpaper on Taylors comp?

[Sonic 296]

That wallpaper looked more Scrin like to me. It doesn't matter anyway. During the "Ask a Dev" segment they confirmed that Cabal will be back in Kane's Wrath.

[TheRoadToDawn 0]

Awesome. I wonder how much of a role he will play.

It is Cabal, looky:

 

 

[sith_wampa 6]

No. CABAL looks more human.

[Guest Rabbit]

That might be CABAL... although... it might not. :wink:

 

 

 

 

 

 

[hagren 0]

But there it is written "CABA"! :!:

 

Jeez im really interested were they take this...

[JahSpoR 0]

Im having a theory this might be some scrin signals interrupting with cabal and twisting his "mind"
