I've looked through this thread and haven't found the 80% mark you claim Wrinkles made Gun, I have seen him claim though that when it really counts people have been picking NOD in tournaments for money and such.

The biggest problem with your speculation that Scrin/GDI players = not so overpowered NOD is that it really proves absolutely nothing at all. As a former CNC3 player myself (sold it) I can tell you that in my experience the reason some people didn't play NOD was

A few reasons

-They used the spam and got sick to death of it so they wanted to try something new

-The basic super overpowered nod strategy is very easy to do so they were looking for a challenge and wanted to try new things despite the fact that they would loose to NOD spammers

-Many people in the community made agreements and such especially in non ranking games to just ignore the super overpowered stuff.

As someone who was part of the community I can say without hesitation your argument is a load of crap. People get bored of doing the same dam thing over and over again even if it leads to a victory.

In closing I'd like to show you something from an interview with CNC 3's LEAD BALANCE man

Would both of you idiots just let this thread die already? Funny the thread talking about death keep coming back. 

[QUOTE="ARGSmith"]Good thing Supcom and TA have the best Multiplayer in RTS then huh Jangles :) Are you really still playing and enjoying that train wreck CNC 3's multiplayer? :lol: In the latest interview the guy who heads the balance for the game was even joking about just how awful the games balance is :lol: (funny a month ago he couldn't shut up about how great it was)mrbojangles25

Ya, as a matter of fact I am. I think "balance" is an excuse people use whenever their strategies fail them. "Oh dang I lost...well, my opponent is Scrin I think I will blame it on balance." To me that is like hitting a 250 yard drive in golf and having the ball landing in the fairway next to you, then blaming it on the wind.

Thats a bunch of crap, you can keep telling yourself the game has good balance, but you would be lieing to yourself.

Haven't you noticed the CnC 3 community shrinking dramatically? Haven't you seen every single CnC 3 forum flooded with threads of balance issues? You can't avoid it the shadow team/scropions are completely imbalanced right now.

No the people leaving and the people whining about the games abysmal balance aren't just a bunch of babies looking for an excuse as much as you'd like to paint them to be.

You could ask every single person on the top 10 of that ladder and I bet all of them would tell you the balance is a joke at the moment.

I don't know if you've been to the forums for other RTS games like WC3 Starcraft Dawn of war age of empires supcom etc.

But I can tell you none of those forums have hundreds of threads complaining about the games balance, sure you may find one or two here or there, but you goto a CNC forums and your probably going to find an abnormal amount of threads on it.

Hate to break it to you jangles, but their are Unbalanced RTS games, and in CnC 3's current state it is probably the most unbalanced RTS out there.

There is a reason that the online traffic for the game has gone down more then 10x what it was a month ago.

The game has crap balance! Even the games most hard core fanboys will admit it, hell the lead balance designers poping jokes about it. 

Can't talk about that kind of stuff :o but I can say it's as if the game got new units just in the fact that pretty much all the units are useful now, unlike the current situation were you use about 70% of the games units I'd say it will be more like 95% after the patch :DSirWrinkles

95% ehh? :p so what's in that 5%?
