thanks for watching my replay. what will you do in the game if you the NOD player?

I'm in Mission #2 - GDI...Pentagon.

I wish to use Hard Difficulty.
I think it was Normal currently.
Any way I can use Hard from now till end?

I noticed we can only change the difficulty in Theatre.

dmn... aurora replies is quite "threatening"
Um... what is the RAM of the laptop?? 1GB of 512MB?? Becoz my friend might want to buy the game if the game can be played on his laptop (Intel Pentium M, 512MB, GMA 950)
What is your current GC if I may know??

Same here having the same error

Anyone here using a 8600GT graphic card .. how's the graphic like .. izzit on HIGH. I wanna know cuz I will be getting a 8600GT on Saturday.

one thing i've learned from that game. If zapartan beefed up his vehicle units, you probably woulnd't have enough time to retaliate.

But heck, i'm a newbie, i was in awe when i saw you fight back. i really really thought you were going to lose. But your scorps and venoms harassment proved me wrong. I really think they are shitty at late game. never thought they are still that useful.

Btw what did you use for anti-airs? the attackbikes? how are they compared to raider buggies? Also why did you not expand your refinery base? (i'm asking this in a newbie seeking for help point of view).

Can put this thing at 1st Page.. very2 usefull� !!!!� �
p/s : wanna ask.... why build 2nd refinery and sell it immediately...any advantage ????
sorry noob Q here hehehe !!!

If u notice ... most of the build order does not have barracks. Sell of the 2nd refinery and u will have a few rifleman .. use them to scout enemy base.

Just a reminder ... only sell of the 2nd refinery when ur harvester is fully deploy.

Yeah im playing mine on a laptop using the intel GMA 950 its does work. But due to some quirk with the textures, u got to set it on meduim or higher settings for it to work. Tweak your setting around from high then slowly scale down to see what u can scale.

been reading EA and GameReplays forum about the next big patch...
Can anyone give me a justification why Scorpion tank's damage should be reduced up to 25% and Flame Tank's damage increased 150%??

Scorpion versus Predator?? Dmn.. can't even win against Seeker after the patch...

you get back 1k(resource) + 1 harverster(which cost 1k) + 1 basic infantry squad

which is actually cheaper if you just build Harvester from War factory...

oh ok i get it, TQ !!! 

oh btw do u have Scrin BO ????

That would be interesting. I wonder will it be stronger against vehicles too?
