Hey I found a great strategy to try out at the City. If you're on GDI, you can run through the tunnels straight to the Nod/NOD obelisk without being struck. It works even better when you have teammates go with you. One game, I managed to get in the obelisk undetected and take it out! This can work great with an unmined obelisk, try it sometime.

Oh, well I'm not sure, but maybe it's only one of the tunnels that you can safely run through to get to the obelisk. The other tunnel entrance may be too far from the obelisk. When I used my tactic, I entered the tunnel on the right side of the map (when coming from the GDI base).

Yeah, that one is closer I've noticed. Going in as a squad works very well against the Obelisk.

Yup, this works, two teammates and I ran out there yesterday and 2 of us made it. I think it is a given that you scout out the area and make sure there are not a lot of inf. around. And it might be a good idea only when it is not mined...
So you will have probably to play with some new people on the other side....
Definitely high risk, but hey, the payoff could be great!

Also works in field to take out the obe but you cannot do it with AGT.

you can also go in as a hot wire

plant a beacon on the powerplant

and then go and destroy the airstrip and leave the base totally defensless.

i did once or twice

It's easier to kill the Obelisk by using the Hand of Nod against them.

If you dance around enough the obby won't touch you at all, but you have to straff left, right and jump a lot, and quickly, or call your self pancakes, bacon and eggs, because if your too slow, you fry.

Sheesh, I was trying to address it so that nobody would argue with it or complain about grammar, yet it still happens. ACK did a good job annoying the **** out of other people who spelled the word NOD (or Nod).

I have found that the Ob can not hit Infantry if they run DIRECTLY at it. If you strafe, jump, or do anything besides run in s traight line, you will get fried. I don't, however, know how to avoid it from the side(ex. running to PP on C&C City).

If you really want to you can get a $1000 charater and take a oblisk shot to the chest on your way there. (you don't die) I've never made it without being hit.

Then you can pray that it isn't mined or plant a beacon. Then you can pray that no-one finds you because you only have around 50 health left from the obelisk blast.

Remember, anyone who corrects someones grammar is a retard, not just stupid.

This works on many maps. Some of them are:

City(it's already been described)

Hourglass(run forward and at an angle while jumping until you reach obby, from there you can go to Hand and probably strip - only tested with hand)

Field (can get into obby - just run mad, and ref - jump from that thing on the side to the blockase, then go in back door)

Under (can get into PP and Hand, you could probably leave Hand and go to obby or strip, but I never tried it)

That's all I can think of now. WW should really make a patch that disable it for Nod or allows it for GDI because it unbalance the game.

yea its a suicide mission -- but isn't it worth it? Almost all the time the team with the base defenses down first looses, unless they counter right away and take down the other teams defenses. If im ever in a game with anyone who wants to do it i guarentee I'll be there.

BTW What I find works on this map is take a Stealth Tank, Stealth trooper, and beacon.

In the tank drive right behind the barracks, if it's quiet enough hop out of the stealth tank, quickly plant C4 on it in case someones grabs it, lay beacon, and jump back in the stealth tank, usually you can take out the barracks, although at a large cost.
