chem Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) Isnt it the weaker side an inferior side? Even at the highest level is it still not a weaker side? Or do things change when you get really really skilful? I know its map specific but in general or on a tournament style map where it favours neither GDI or nod, and the only balance difference is the faction balance. Are nod not just better?

AchromicWhite Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I don't care much for status. GDI is more fun. That's my answer, anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluySY Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I think if your one of the best u should be equally good with both sides, GDI is just as much part of the game as NOD and even though they lack speed air cover and there war factory blow after only a couple hits. A high level player should be well versed in either side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X3M Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Nod has more "take that" variety. On the skill curve for normal maps. It starts with GDI. With some skill, NOD is the better choice. But at a maximum skill, I suspect that GDI reigns supreme. I mean, who beats Ferret? Would be neat though to have 2 learning ai have a battle with each other. And see which side wins and reasons as of to why. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Disagree, I think it doesn't matter if you are well rounded or not so long as you are effective when you fight someone, I also think you are better off pooling most of your efforts into one side rather than learning both (to be more effective). But that's just my theory /opinion I don't know for sure. What faction was the best guy in the westwood era in the 1990's online? Who was the best guy back then and what faction was he? Were they better or worse than the modern pros? Edited May 24, 2018 by chem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand If GDI manages to draw each battle to direct combat with the best micro. GDI has a bit of an edge in the long run. If GDI manages to get beyond a certain treshhold with tanks. Those bikes are sniped down faster than a tank is sniped down. Not 8 to 5 but more like 9 or 10 to 5. I have seen the second happen a lot. Even on normal maps. But you need a lot of grenadier support. But this is my experience. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand In The Westwood days all The top players played NOD, XxTheManxX was the top guy for most of the time period Grlpwer Blackasp and acxdc also had there time. I don't think they were as good as you guys are today. How ever we had to learn to play with limited resources on a very select few maps when we new every game was ranked. Chem I actually agree 100%, master one side instead of spreading yourself thin. On 5/24/2018 at 4:00 PM, X3M said: Are you telling me that he is godlike with NOD? I never saw him playing with NOD.
