Hey,
I've always wanted to know, why is this at the top of the Hand?
What purpose does it serve?

Yeah, but how many times do you see helicoptors land on it?
Was it suppose to repair upon landing?

It's supposed to be a helipad for quick access to the interior while using a helicopter. In the aggregrates there's a door on top that's hidden behind the wall. There is also geometry cut into the shape of a door right there at the wall and it was sealed off. The door will open and you can hear it if you get next to the wall, directly in the center.

So in other words, stand on the helipad marker in the center and walk straight ahead to the wall in front of it.

The door was meant to be part of the extended structures, like the ones you see in my levels. FieldTS has it accessible.

i always thought it was like a medivac type thing...in the missions there was the hospital type place in the top floor of the hand...or was that in a different building?

I saw this once when playing Glacier flying i was sniping at the end of the airstrip and with the graphics screw ups in this game and my old geforce 4 i could see the door clearly

Yeah, it's a shame that the multiple floors weren't implemented for all the buildings. The elevator access to the roof allows for a great spot to hide beacons as the GDI, or defend from as Nod.

Something that hasn't been mentioned...it might help to know that the helipad was done to the big Hand of Nod seen in single player, and makes more sense there because the exterior is so much bigger and a helicopter would have sufficient room to land there. In multiplayer the structures are all shortened, and the helipad must have just stayed there because it's part of the design, and of course to coincide with the roof access door.

I like fieldTS because of the building interiors.

To bad Westwood/EA never added them in all their maps.

The interconnected buildings undergroud are more of a hinderance, as a group of Engineers can enter the Hand of Nod, and kill Obelisk without worry of being hit by it. I know this from first hand experience. Now, whenever i play those levels, i get a Sniper and patrol the basement level. Ive yet to get an Engineer heading to my Defense structure, though. I hit one in the Barracks, though, but i wasnt defending.

I loved playing the "spy/assasin" in those maps with tunnels connected to building interiors, i could keep it up a very long time as i always kept moving and killing people there since they didn't suspect anyone hiding in their own base Look Round

Why do you think i patrolled? Not just the Engineers, but people would Spawn-Kill constantly down there. I used to place Mines on the elevators, but everyone either threw mines(I killed about three people for doing that) or would try and mine the entrances. Every once in awhile, i would throw some Timed C4 on the floor of one of the hallways, just incase. Usually i was low on Ammo anyway, and on my way to a PT.

I quite like the building tunnels and elevators....I just wish on those maps that there are more people playing so there are troops to defend. They also make it easier, ala little/no teamwork, to infiltrate a base on your own.
