At first it was kind of fun, now it's ztyping pissing me off.

Not giving you battlefield control at the mission start.

It's all good when all your troops are up in a troop transporter, or in a train, but the battle next to the train is so ztyping annoying because the computer runs the battle and the computer is ztyping retarded.

Or the mission start of the third GDI mission. Why does it take so long for me to actually get command? Just so there can be some ztyping ambush going on? Ugh.

I highly suggest you fix this, it ruins a perfect campaign.

Personally I enjoy "watching" for a bit. You could think of it as a prologue to actual mission. You see bits that happen before you actually take command and deal with the remaining situation plus without FMVs these little cinematics at the beginning are definitely needed.

Whoops, I missed this thread. I am aware that the opening of GDI Mission 4 is a gambling situation as sometimes it can result badly, but as I enjoy the opening sequences (mostly cause we lack FMV's) I'd rather keep them, though I may add more units at the beginning of that mission to prevent the AI From doing too much damage to your starting force if the computer commands your units like a complete retard.

keyboard commands still work, so you can still influence a bit the fight. e.g. pressing g to let them guard the area, s to stop them from moving to a certain point. Wink

But how can you when none of the units are selected?

unit select keyboard commands like n (next unit) or e (all units) work of course as well.

I always use the time during the intro to group already all my units by pressing n to go through the units and t to select all units of the currently selected unittype to group them.

Mission 4 is kind of weird at times, first I saw how a visceroid started to track my harvester and crept towards the gate, and after I solved that problem, some Cleaver Drones popped up.

A bit chaotic for a mission start.

I think you're getting the missions mixed up... Mission 4 is where you start off with a small force in the city and have to destroy the Nod base.

Mission 5... The follow up?

You must harvest tiberium, one big base, one small base expansion.

( mission 5 ) i actually found the small expansion was easier to guard than the north western entrance, though the bugs joining nod's attacks got annoying... is there a way to get the bugs to attack both the player and Nod?

The bugs are very weak, usually a couple of Kazuars are enough to deal with a group of them.

Also, I recommend defending the expansion with grenadiers, they are quite effective at killing the fast-attack Scorpions and Viper Drones. Goliaths to defend them from the Cleavers.
