Let's Play Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun

[TaxOwlbear]

This is a fun little side mission. Better designed than many of the main missions, in fact.

 

Nod Mission 3: Free Rebel Commander

[TaxOwlbear]

You don't actually need to destroy the temple. Taking it over with an engineer works fine. However, that doesn't get you the cut scene of Hassan getting captured.

 

Also, what's Nod's obsession with pyramidal buildings?

 

Nod Mission 4: Destroy Hassan's Temple

[TaxOwlbear]

If you don't act quickly and decisively, this becomes one of the harder missions of the Nod campaign. GDI sends an endless stream of units and is overall a lot more threatening than in later missions. Not sure why.

 

Nod Mission 5: Blackout

[TaxOwlbear]

Is this really easier after completing the optional mission?

 

Nod Mission 6: Eviction Notice

[TaxOwlbear]

My least favourite mission in this game. At least it's short one, like so many of the Nod missions. It also punishes you not knowing exactly where to go.

 

Nod Mission 7: Salvage Operation

[TaxOwlbear]

Finally: Murder artillery!

 

Nod Mission 8a: Capture Umagon

[X3M]

Just build 10 cycles and jump right in then?

[TaxOwlbear]

Why build ten when you can build 20?

[X3M]

maybe 1 might do the job, who knows. Or would a buggy be better?

 

But is it managable?

You want another challenge video, don't you? 

[X3M]

Sure, ok, a challenge!

Since no one else is pitching them in.

 

Begin with 1. save, try, load. Add 1, save, try, load. Add 1, save, try, load. Etc.

 

Let's see where the number ends up

 

But ehm, if you somehow fail the mission. Before even the first one arrives. Then there is no need for keep trying.

[TaxOwlbear]

I'll give it a shot. 

[TaxOwlbear]

Same as last time, except with cyborgs instead of bikes.

 

Nod Mission 8b: Capture Umagon

[TaxOwlbear]

How comes all those mutant vehicles are a lot better than what we have?

 

Nod Mission 9: Sheep's Clothing

Nod Mission 9: Sheep's Clothing

 

Oh god not the Caravans

~ TaxOwlBear 2016

[ore_truck]

Damn, those tick tanks were irreplaceable.

[TaxOwlbear]

My theory is that those caravans were designed for camping in Tiberium fields. That would explain why they are so damn tough.

[X3M]

This forum needs like buttons. For comments like the theory of tiberium campings and special designed caravans.

[TaxOwlbear]

The Nod mission continue to be short and trivial.

 

Nod Mission 10: Escort Bio Toxin Trucks

[TaxOwlbear]

Command & Conquer: Attack of the Killer MUtants

 

Let's Play C&C Tiberian Sun #31 | Nod Mission 11: Destroy GDI Research Facility

[TaxOwlbear]

Take a shot every time a Nod mission can be finished in under 15 minutes.

 

Nod Mission 12: Villainess in Distress

[TaxOwlbear]

Finally, a mission that can't be beaten in five minutes or less. Or rather isn't intended for that.

 

Nod Mission 13a: Establish Nod Presence

[TaxOwlbear]

Hey, Nod High Command, how about you don't sent in those convoys until the area is actually clear?

 

Nod Mission 13b: Protect Waste Convoys

[TaxOwlbear]

No, this won't prevent GDI from building these later. Of course it won't.

 

Nod Mission 14: Destroy Mammoth Mk II Prototype

[X3M]

Killing that mammoth tank MK2 is a "10 minute" mission. No need for stealth, no need for artillery, just some tick tanks for early defence. But then spam banchees. No need for extra pads either.

 

I hate that mission. So anti climax.
