Finally completed The Covert Operations

[TaxOwlbear]

I finally did it. The first time I played TCO was ages ago, so I'm not 100% that I didn't beat all missions at one point, but this is definitely the first time I completed all mission in a row. And no sandbag cheese!

 

These missions make the main campaigns look like a piece of cake. I think that most them are also better designed and allow for multiple strategies e.g. engineer rush, guard tower creep or the classic tank horde. I'll take on Red Alert Aftermath and Counterstrike in the near future. I remember a couple of those mission being even harder.

Congrats!

 

I'm not sure who ever told you "guard tower creep" is a strategy, though. It isn't

It is now.

Its probably just like RC and his turret creep (which is a lot more powerful tbh)

Well if you use cheap things like that, you have never actually beaten the mission, in my opinion

 

C'mon. You might as well go back to the old sandbagging-the-AI's-base stuff

[TaxOwlbear]

Sandbagging exploits an AI weakness, tower creep doesn't. 

[Jacko]

Yeah but the AI weakness in itself is it has no way of dealing with 3 or 4 turrets at all.

At least if you spammed too many AGTs as GDI the Nod AI just nuked them all the time... (which is an exploit in itself).

If you put it this way, the AI has no way of dealing with a tank rush either. Or any strategy but sending small squads to its base.
