CNC3 Tiberium Wars - GDI Mission 17 - Ground Zero - Part 1

[GeneralsAlert]

your making it look easy

[MrKakadoie]

The square technique as been defined... He played the first C&C's

[borgoff55]

@z10901 Check movies in the main menu. It will have both.

[borgoff55]

Tough mission...but if you use the right strat you can easily finish it off in time. Just remember you will have to deal with two superweapons and one mothership. Most annoying thing is the fucking overpowered skrin air units. Only effective way to deal with them seems to be air to air firehawks and massed mammoths. GDI is flawed because all their air units have to reload.

@h0st1lity13 Why do I build bases in a square? No particular reason.  I didn't even realize I was doing that...

[zangalus2005]

This has to be on easy. No more than just a minute or so into this mission the Scion base from the West starts sending units at me constantly and always focus fire my commando... Yet I see nothing attacking you at all except for the Nod force from the North.

[CC3GROUNDZERO]

This level can be completed on hard setting with both bonus goals completed in eight minutes. Check out my vid.

[cncguides]

@CC3GROUNDZERO this was played on hard...it is the original unpatched version...that's all I can say

[Pastor9764]

I've completed Ground Zero in under 11 (eleven) minutes with both bonus goals. -- No sweat!

[BowserWii]

im guessing it was on easy?

[Pastor9764]

@BowserWii Watch my vids. It was on hard difficulty.

[Zanith50]

whats up with the graphics man turn erm up

[boostique]

i dont understand how you guid the mothership.

[FaintSnow]

Just destroy the disruption towers (NOD's cloaking device) up north.

[SonsOfHateSphere]

This mission is easy if you're guiding the mothership to the Nod base, and follow other "Bonus Objectives". If not, good luck.

[brute5112]

is this the last gdi level? cause i actually thought that gdi 16 was the last one

[Skyu2]

They should've made the hotkeys letters instead of that f# shit. what rts does that going all the way to the top of your keyboard it's stupid

[cncguides]

I don't trust their patches. I always finish the game before they do anything to it.

[Reaver9111977]

the best good base defense is the mammoth tank ,place it beside rig or war factory along side w/ at least 2 sonic emitter.4 mammoth tank both side and your base is invincible..

[keiostheory]

wtf it is in easy mode....

[cncguides]

check out the last video...it shows what level it was played at.

[xMuggzx]

Did you do this before the patch? cuz with the crane your only aloud to build one base defences at a time...right?

[cncguides]

I have downloaded no patches for this game. Whether that's good or bad, I don't know.

[xMuggzx]

Oh, thats why after the patch cranes can build structures but not base defenses, also the mcv (i think its called) is 3500 instead of 2500, the dig in technique costs 100 isntead of 300

[cncguides]

thanks for the info...very interesting...

[cncguides]

To try to answer your question, with a Construction yard you can build one structure at a time...with a crane, two structures at a time. Does that make sense? I don't think a patch would affect that.

[HGvHGjnjJNjNHJV]

id ont understand why they attack me so much as soon as i get a good enough army to capture the rift generator im always to late and it wipes out my base completely

[cncguides]

Sorry you are having problems with this mission. Not sure what to say to help out without seeing what you are doing exactly. Hang in there!

[cncguides]

The time crunch on this mission is pretty darn intense. Just keep choreographing rapidly building your base and deploying your forces until you get it down pat and then SAVE the game!!!! Good luck!

[UltreaKiller]

most important button ingame: SAVE!

[budspencer1971]

there is no way this is played on hard...i am playing on normal and as soon as i get a fairly good sized base nods starts to pound my base and the scrin do the same from the other side...this looked like childplay compared to what i am playing...the player barely got attacked and i get swamped!

[cncguides]

Well, maybe there is a glitch on the easy setting.  I know you are not meaning to be rude, but you are trying to figure this all out. If you look at the last video you will see it's on hard. Not sure what to tell you, but good luck!

[Heds123]

in the campaign is the inital attacks the worse and then lessens overtime or not.on the 360 i found that out towards the end

[cncguides]

Heds123, your question got me to re-answer a previous question. The attacks are manageable once you destroy two of their Warp Spheres. Otherwise the attack by the Tripods is extremely nasty.

[cncguides]

Bud, had one further thought on this. I too was overwhelmed by the Annihilator Tripod attacks, etc. What I did to resolve this is reasonably early in the mission I destroyed the two Warp Spheres by air attack. This resolved the issue.

[Nitesystem]

also, when i try to save the game in the middle of the battle, NOD and SCRIN forces overwhelm me with twice the forces than before i saved, its like its harder when you save it then when you dont

[cncguides]

Actually, I kind of remember that happening myself. Interesting little glitch there.

[Nitesystem]

how come nod never attacked you from the right side, thats always happening to me =(

[cncguides]

hmmmm....let me check that out. I will get back with you later today hopefully. Gotta go to work right now.

[Heds123]

is it a good idea to divert the mothership, then as it is attacking nod double superweapon it?then have some firehawks finish it off then capture the nod base so you have all 3 superweapons?

[stangundam01]

Hi there. In your version were you doing the the level on easy, med or hard, also did you have a problem with the second menu that comes from building a crane that it would only allow you to build either silos, stealth gens or growth accels while not allowing the construction of turrents and other things???

[cncguides]

All CNCGuides videos are played on the hard setting. I haven't paid that much attention to the crane attributes. Perhaps someone else can answer that question. Thanks for watching!!

[RSplayer133]

I have the same problem! Though a friend of mine doesn't have it and he has the same version bought from the same store with the latest patch downloaded. Strange.

[ketamunke]

Something is up with that. I can't get any defensive structures on the second que besides non-attack stuff. I don't get that.

[UltreaKiller]

you patched the game didn't you?

[gamerofallgames]

nice LOL i still did need your help on this good going
