Mammoth Tanks no longer top dog?

Well, it seems like the mammoth MAY have lost it's superiority. Check this out, http://www.commandandconquer.com/intel/default.aspx?id=119#NewsMain
It's a new Scrin unit, very powerful, but u can only build 1 at a time and it announces itself to all players.

Especially with that picture of the Eradicator stepping on and crushing the mammoth tank Looks awesome.

re: Mammoth Tanks no longer top dog?

Actually, those epic units look terrible to me. I just think they're screwing up diverse gameplay to be honest. It's like a match that takes more than twenty minutes, it is a disaster because there is no tiberium left... The game really sucks that way, and it doesn't seem like it is going to improve. Same will be for these epic units, I bet, if you play without one, you'll lose 95% of the time.

re: Mammoth Tanks no longer top dog?

Excuse me but the mammoth already in TW isn't the best. Avatars own Mammoths easily since these final patches. And the Eradicator is an epic unit which isn't even supposed to be compared to normal units. You should compare it with the Redeemer and MARV. The best normal unit in Kane's Wrath is either the Purifer or Reaper Tripod.

re: Mammoth Tanks no longer top dog?

Case and point Archimonde, but i like comparing mammothes to things...and yeah, since that patch, a lot has changed. But I just thought the pic was cool.

re: Mammoth Tanks no longer top dog?

I personally hate that EA has put the Avatar which is cheaper than the mammoth be the strongest unit. I mean the whole purpose of the Avatar has gone, the Avatar was supposed to be a unit that you go upgrade and then own other units but now it's just spam avatars and own ammys and tripods. I would like that the Tripod be the best cuz not only is it the most expensive but it's also meant to be a ground dominance unit. Hopefully the Reaper-Tripod can show the power of the tripods!

re: Mammoth Tanks no longer top dog?

Also true, i like the tri-pod cause if you set hem on aggressive mode, and just give them an order to move from front to back, or from one side to another of your oppnents base...they'll not only do severe damage, but the EMP thing they do will cut the enemies buildings and such off. Od course it's best to have the force field upgrade before trying this, but, it works as far as i know. And the more tri-pods, the better..naturally.

re: Mammoth Tanks no longer top dog?

The MARV epic beats all of the other epics cause of it has most powerful weapon, most armour, able to insta harvest tiberium, four garrisons, and ablitiy to crush everything other than other epics. its ironic that the new mammoth is much better and bigger than the old one

re: Mammoth Tanks no longer top dog?

eradicators are better than the redeemer but not MARV. they have the weakest armour of all of the epics but have good attack rate, range, and if a unit is in radius and eradicator kills it some money is produced. BUT it still pales in comparison to MARV.

re: Mammoth Tanks no longer top dog?

Redeemer sucks, it's fire rate is extremely slow. Eradicator so far for me has been the best. MARV is great but its movement rate is way too slow. and can be owned by some stormriders.

re: Mammoth Tanks no longer top dog?

The MARV has worked the best for me so far. Somehow I just don't seem to able to discern which upgrades the hexapod has, and I don't like its weapon nor its design very much either. As a design I would've much preferred a hovering scrin ship from Tiberian Sun or something else entirely, not a six legged ugly thing.

As for the Epic units, they are actually rather nice, though they are almost completely indestructible when they are heroic. Screwed me up bad a time or two already.

re: Mammoth Tanks no longer top dog?

in reply to archiemond if u put 2 rocket troopes and 2 engineers in a marv if becomes a self healing anti air bethemoth. also the Hexapod has such weak amour compared to MARV and a not quite as good ablity. but it is much much better than redeemer

re: Mammoth Tanks no longer top dog?

heres an idea, send the MARV with 4 missile squads garrisoned for its ultimate anti air capacity, then have it followed by a rig, just try to keep the rig outta the fight, and let the marv have as many kills as possible, the sooner it ranks up, the better...for u that is, not ur enemy...lol. then the rig can just heal any damage the MARV took in battle, assuming of course the MARV doesnt meet its end. But once the MARV gets that star, (i think thats heroic rank), it damn near invincible..
