Hi guys
I have only just started playing the demo and I am having a ball. But I want to learn how to dominate and I was wondering if there were any particularly effective strats for the demo game map.A for the full game I'll havbe that soon.
What sort of MP features will I see in the full version apart from more maps. Are the any more characters or vehicles. Cheers from down under

""Are the any more characters or vehicles?"" There are a bunch of stupid mutants and vehicles like pickup trucks. They don’t do much for the game and are just there for looks. A patch is going to be released that will allow air warfare on two maps.
Strats
GDI: Attack the harvester with grenaders. If you are successful, immediately hit their tunnels and attack the power plant. You will be killed, but that’s okay because they had to focus on you on the deep side of their base and you have a lot of cash now and they don’t. Back at the base, someone has probably become a hotwire. If this hasn’t happened, you have to do it. Mine that AGT. The whole nod mentality is to flame tank it. So you have to get it mined. You should probably mine the tunnel once or twice, mine before the branch so that you don’t have to mine twice. Lay a couple at the tunnel entrance and run out in the open (if it is safe enough) and start healing the MRLs that have come out. When you have enough for a MRL, buy it, or wait for a medium tank. Either choice, rush to their base entrance and start pummeling the airstrip, taking pot shots at the harvester and anyone who shoots at you. Occasionally look toward their tunnels so you don’t get embarrassed by an engineer’s c4. Heal as needed, but always look around as there might be stealth guys out already and they’ll rip your tank. Keep this up until you die when there are a couple / three tanks doing the same thing and you die. Then buy an APC and a Mobieus. Rush the Ob of Nod and set your c4 and take out anyone who tries to get in while taking occasional shots at the Main Console and reloading. If you have a good team at all, they’ll be reacting to “Nod Obelisk under attack” and help you. Once it is dead, use a hotwire and APCs to trample Nod infantry and do everything you can to destroy the power plant. This is because your entire team will be in tanks trying to kill the airstrip and they will, but you’ll be making it harder on Nod by making it so their infantry units cost double and they won’t be expecting you to wipe out their power after the obelisk is dead anyway. If you find yourself losing, buy that prototype suit and a beacon, get into their tunnels, and survive a Obelisk hit and plant the beacon.
NOD: Kill the engineers and grenaders going after your harvester. You must protect that harvester! Use the high ground and pick off everyone you can, taking quick glances while reloading to make sure someone doesn’t get you while your focusing in one direction. If the harvester looks like it will survive, stop attacking the men and get to their tunnels as fast as you can. All you have to do here is get their attention. Attack the power plant so that they will mine the tunnels. You have to make the computer say “GDI power plant under attack”. They have to believe you’ll be going that way so that they waste mines in the tunnels. Once you hear it, run out and let the AGT kill you. Buy a technician. You have to mine that OB and you have to mine the tunnels. You should mine the branch of the tunnels and the entrance and bottom near the power plant. Finally, mine the ramp to the hand of nod. When you are finished, switch to the pistol and let it load. Heal any vehicle that comes back for it and keep a watch out for APCs. If you see an APC, tell your team!!!! It takes exactly four key******s, but I would add the exclamation points as well. So 8 quick keys, team-talk, A-P-C- !!!!”. If you don’t do this, then your team might not know and you could lose because you didn’t say anything. As the APC comes nearer, prepare your C4-remote explosives. The APC will be hit twice, then you will try to hit it again. If you miss or it doesn’t explode get in the OB, if it does explode, toss the other one and kill or wound those men. They will die as soon as they try to enter the OB because you were smart enough to mine it. Now remine it and reload. Keep doing this until you know there are enough tanks out and few of theirs by taking quick peeks outside. Once you feel ready, start buying flame tanks. Your mission from now on is to attack the AGT with extreme prejudice. The only thing, and I mean the only thing that you should stop for is an overwhelming enemy advance. The only thing you should slow for, is a weak harvester or a MRL. All the rest of your energy, every turn you make, should be focused on getting to the AGT and damaging it and gaining cash for doing it. If you are successful, you will have the ability to rush their other structures. If you are not, and they start building up, you’ll have to become a scavenger for awhile. Pull back to your entrance, on the right, down the hill near your OB, and wait for APCs. During tank battle, do not engage unless your tanks are backing up! When they back up, you move in. You’ll probably lose your tank, but you might get lucky and you’ll almost certainly take out one of theirs. Attack the smallest first and move around as much as possible. If you think you can get away to resupply your tank, do it. Otherwise keep pressing until your tank blows and try to C4 them before you die. Rinse & Repeat. If you ever notice that they don’t have much power outside, start at the AGT again. That’s it. It’s basic, but it works. If you find yourself losing, and the OB goes, get into the hand and buy a Morpheus. Defend that structure with your life, resupplying your character all the time and taking pot shots out of the windows and doors. Never stop moving. You’re probably going to lose, but if people see that you are doing well and you last long enough, they might start doing the same and stop buying rocket guys and start shooting some lasers at the least. The map is too small for the stealth tactics. If you don’t have much money, go for shooting green goop around.
This map is all about the flame tank. If it gets past the AGT the game is over, if it doesn’t, the game is over. APCs are nice, but against a good tech and with a little luck some pot shots on the field, the mines and Ob shots will take care of Nod. But a flame can take its toll on the AGT and two can take it down quick, three or four and its all over before they even left the base.
