I my not be very good, but.........BLACKOUT!
Chris
this is my first time playing such a game, but I must assure you that this
cry for help is, as far as I am concerned, totally necessary.
So then, HELP!!!!!!!
The NOD mission "Blackout", where you have to locate and destroy a GDI radar
installation under the cover of an ion storm is doing my head in. I seem to
be continually defending myself and never seem to be able to launch a viable
attack on the first base you come across, (the one over the bridge), I has
almost inpenitrable defenses. Plus the time limit of an hour and a half is
not helping me out.........
I REALLY would appreciate any help that anybody could give me with this
mission as I am really enjoying Tiberian Sun and I don't want a stupid early
mission defeat me. I do not wish to cheat.
Thank-you in advance to anybody who has any advice, and please, please help!
Yours in despiration,
Chris

are you playing on? I'm on easy and it's going pretty good... try using tick
tanks to take out the Vulcan's at the end of the bridge, they outrange the
towers... and setting up two of them as far out on the bridge in "turret"
mode seems to work pretty well against that Titan, hehe I shot the bridge
out from under it :) what constant attacks btw? I only got about 3 groups of
maybe 4 infantry after me, killed them quick, and that's about it...
although I've only been playing that mission for about 10 mins :) also, Ack!
didn't know there was a time limit, hrmm...
well, there's my ramblings, hehe I'm sure someone else will answer with a
more informative post :)

Set up a good set of lasers and tick tanks on a close perimeter around your
base, and set up two other tick tank/cybordg defenses at the bridge and the
tiberium field to the far left. Now, you shouldn't be bothered with attacks
any longer. Use tick tanks against the vulcans - they have longer range, so
they do a clean job... Remember to retreat behind your defense if someone
decides to attack the tanks. When the towers are out, attack with a mix of a
lot of cyborgs and a lot of tick tanks. When it's destroyed, get more
cyborgs and tanks and move further up to take out the last base.

Damn I hated that mission, but eventually I got it right... more by accident I
think. ;)
Use the back door ;)
Build an ok strong defence, DON'T make contact with GDI forces. Pretend you are
not there. Then harvest a lot of Tiberium. (build two refineries and an extra
harvester for instance - go for the blue tiberium to the west.)
Then you make a task force of 6-8 buggies and 6-8 Tick tanks. Infantery won't
do, as they take damage in the Tiberium. But build also TWO engieeers. (they
will just survive the trip through the Tiberium)
Then you move east with the task force, repair the second bridge you meet with
your first engineer, then go north-west... slowly, easy... taking out single GDI
units one and two at a time, and tadaaa... capture the GDI barracks which are
poorly defended with your last engineer. Then you use your saved Tiberium to
build all the disc throwers you can - 20-30 whatever... and then you rush down
the mountain side going for the Radar yelling FOR KANE! And then GDI are toast.
Ps. Remember to yell!
Have a good fight,
