my first point is money: GLA and China can gain constant income, every single second of the game as soon as they get a black market or internet cafe, there money can become endless if they wish. USA however, have to wait certain amount of time before their load comes in, and its only i think $2500 at a time?
I think that when the plane does come to your base to give extra income, it will more than enough as if you add up the $20 bills blackies make or $5-$10 bills hackers make it will more or less be equal all round provided you make lots n lots of these supply drops not just a handful. Im talkin about 10 at least.
but my main issue is with the rules that we play. GLA have buggies (can take out USA defence with no problems. too many times i have come up with the problems of, if they have 7 buggies, i lose. ther range is too long. they also have scuds, everyone knowns the damage that they can do. bang busses also, they are so damn strong ! and they can take out a army anytime you want.
Buggies for me isn't really an issue, to avoid getting raped with buggies, take out the gla tunnels thats nearest to your defence. Kayz will agree that he had to change his strategy when I took out his tunnels so he had to take the long route of bringin an army. This would probably change the opponents mind and stop makin buggies.
China have nuke cannons, they are the shit, and if you are nuke, and you do the nuke upgrade, there migs and nuke cannons are amazing. and don't forget the overlords. T buzzes when they go 3star gen and they have red cannons, because they do the shit ! lol
Its true once the overlord comes out and they're in groups its over, but with GLA, loads of scorpions or even school busses can take care of that, just take out the one with the speaker tower and you're okay. ECM's are futile as they can only stop some rockets not all.
however, you all seem to limit auroras? why? they have nothing as it is. humvees are weak, laser tanks cant do anything against rocket men, there planes ain't all that on normal. i don't think auroras should be taken out of the game at all, because if that is the case, i say take out scuds and overloads aswell. that is fair right? fine you take out demos, but they have so much apart from that.
I agree auroras should be allowed. But they're fuckin deadly, you gotta love them, sit back and watch them destroy your base then when they reduce speed you can then destroy them. An AFG player would cum in his pants if he had shitloads of auroras ~)
i play 3o3 with T and Kayz, and half the time i feel i dont do anything, lol i get a couple of avengers out, and thats it, they do the shit, lol i just sit back and enjoy, because attack wise, i cannot do anything.
this is now leading me to learn the game all over again, with GLA. however, its going to be boring when EVERYONE turns to GLA (Vash and Pliskin already have), or i may even start to become USA AFG more now.
rant over. please comment where you wish. we need to play again sometime by the way.
