    Mechapede! There’s no part of that word I don’t like.

    If Command & Conquer gets one thing right, its the absolutely barmy (yet meticulously balanced) units.

    I would love to be in a C&C unit idea meeting.

    “Squids!”
    “Done that”
    “Big stompy robots”
    “Done that”
    “Huge robot millipede things!”
    “Nice!”

    I don’t really care about C&C and I’m seriously not just hopping along this “hahaha silly unit” bandwagon here, but the mechapede has to be one of the greatest RTS units ever.

    “She stomped into my base like a mechapede missing 8 of its sections, wreaking havoc on my sanity and…”

    Ok ok… I’ll stop. That looks like a fun unit to play with though, that’s for sure!

    NOD’s logo turning into the EA logo? are they trying to say something there?

    Neat looking at least, I quite like biologically-inspired units, even if they don’t make a lick of sense!

    report

    I like the way they move.

    That is extremely cool. Pitty this game was competitively broke since conception, though.
