Those awful mechs... Options

[Carnotaurus]

I really cant stand the idea of this mod doing what 90% of TS/FS mods do...building in the Post-Firestorm world...but, I am not here to gripe about that. Thats not my job. I do have another gripe.

Mechs.

Will these lumbering, impractical monstrosities be meandering around in this sleek, post TS world. If we are going to follow Westwood's intentions with making a good, proper C&C3, why not follow Westwood and remove these vile, impractical monstrosities. Ishmael himself said that Continuum/Tiberium Incursion would be parting from them...

GDI was going away from mechs, yes. There were still a few, but Nod had gotten so good at taking out the leg joints on them with infantry that the repair and construction costs became prohibitive and the design was ruled "impractical".

-Ishmael.

So why dont we? Im sure that we can see some creative implimentations of Tankery Daggery Doo in this mod. Hover tanks, anybody? Why not a deploying Mammoth Tank, too?

CABAL should be like Yuri, in my opinion. Not a mech-filled monstrosity. CABAL should use psychological warfare to win, showing the horrors of war to GDI and Nod. Imagine how scary it'd be to see human corpses, rotting, reanimated and augmented by cybernetics. Not lame like the TS cyborgs. Scary and graphic, limbs flopping off. CABAL should make GDI and Nod sh*t their drawers. but a FEW CABAL mechs would be fine.

None of that silly Core Drefender. It is SO cheesy looking.

Well, I didn't necessarily mean mechs, just mechanical walkers - like the reaper

And I don't know about limbs flopping off, I would have thought CABAL would be a little bit more urgonomical with his dead bodies

I always wanted them to be more like this

i agree, CABAL should be something like in the movie Virus with Jamie Lee Curtis. These Cyborgs were really Scary.

But TS doesn't allows much detail, so it could become very hard to make the infantry scary ingame too. The only Cyborg that comes close to this is the commando.

But i don't agree that only because Nod found a way to simply destroy Mech-legs, they should not have been implemented anymore. I mean in WW2 they only need a grenade and blanket to destroy a tank. Throw the blanket so the driver can't see anything, and the grenade behind the fuel tanks.
There is nothing really invincible.
And since Mechs do their job better than Tanks (psychological warfare), i think they still should be in. And of course they look cooler than rolling cuboids.

I don't know, give them running animations and make them go about speed=6... they'd be running down infantry left and right... that'd be scary enough no?
