Which campaign you did first and why?

[Malaficus Shaikan]

I when gdf first.
My logic being that going the "good" guys first to give me a baseline(As the good guys are always the same western powers)

[-=THe M@TRiX=- [DK]]

GDI first, still on it, will do NOD after

[Raven]

DYN because they`re way cooler

[Gigasittich]

DYN because I like the good guys

[Hammer Of Evil]

Dynasty.

As a long term Brotherhood of NOD member, it's a must have.

I really enjoy the design of the flame tanks and flame turret. I thought the design was better than in the tiberium wars. if a bit less well armored. lol.

[Troshnak]

I chose GDI GDF because it was the first campaign on the left in the menu.

[ko]

I played through the GDF campaign first and now I'm a few missions into the Tempest Dynasty campaign.

I always play "blue" first. Then "red".

[TelenS]

GDF, because it was on the left side, and I was saving the faction I really wanted to play for last. I actually kinda regret it, because the Dynasty campaign seems a bit undercooked.

Like, the narrative wasn't the main thing in the GDF campaign, it's pretty straightforward - the Dynasty one tries a bit harder, but falls a bit short.

The upgrades you get for Dynasty are less interesting, too.

And, more subjectively, their units just don't work for me, lol. GDF is pretty straightforward and easy. Dynasty has harder missions, worse static defense (at least early on), and just overall feel harder to play (in the campaign - in multiplayer I can see them being strong... I'm no expert, but being able to send your harvesters anywhere early seems strong.)

I wanted to first play dynasty but upon seeing the silly rolling ball tank in the trailers turned me away from them and so i went with GDF.

[Atheriom]

Finished Dynasty first then finished GDF shortly then after.

[Moriendor]

Dynasty first since I was afraid I might not be motivated enough to play the "bad guys" after finishing GDF.

Well, I played on 'normal' and made it to mission 3 which is impossible for me. The initial escort part is easy but when you get to your base, the game spams you with insane amounts of new info.

You are introduced to at least one new unit (machinist), you are supposed to repair the base, build up your economy and fend off attacks (with tons of tanks and infantry) from three sides all at the same time. Nocando.

Well, to get more practice, I decided to fire up GDF on 'normal'. First three missions were easy. Mission no. 4 started easy and I was wondering what people were complaining about in the threads around here but then I got attacked from the south by a huge force including these mini-gunners which, I'm not joking, shot all my turrets to shreds from out of the turrets' range within seconds.
I'll admit I'm not the fastest clicker, just average, but in the time it took me to click on the 'repair' icon, two turrets were already gone as well as the entire infantry squad I had parked there (drone operators).

So, now I'm stuck on mission 3 and 4 respectively and since you can not change campaign difficulty mid game, I would have to start over on easy.
That ain't gonna happen any time soon. I think I will wait a year or so and then come back to finish the campaigns on easy when I have forgotten most of the missions.

Repair buttion is i.
Sell buttion is o.
Power off buttion is p.

Missions are easy.
Build 2 referies asap, sell off 1 when you have 2 harvesters then mass produce basic infantry.
This will be your moble force.
Once you got 20 units focus on getting tanks and anti infantry verchiles.

I won every single mission by simply rapid harvesting followed up by unit spamm.
You can use q to select all units.
Shift q for all infantry.
Shift w for all tanks.
w for all units on screen.
cntrl left click for all units of that type.
You can hover over a unit in the group menu(Left center of the screen) to see what buttion combination does what.

All you need is critical mass and a fast moving force to attack and return when under attack.
The only threat is based defendsive.
And that is just a matter of numbers or adding a few artilierty units into the mix.

[PhamTrinli]

gdf cuz "good guys"

where's my giant laser cannon!?

[Lawmakerex]

Definately GDI, i mean GDF. Usually the good guy stories are less entertaining. OH how that thought process is totally wrong here. 5th mission and i am loving it so much. Cant wait till the nod campaign.
Dynasty i mean

GDF. As The Blue guys are usually the introductory faction. I was wrong, difficulty spike is so much greater on the GDF side than it is on the DYN side, I would even argue later campaign DYN units are just superior.

[WAGE SLAVE]

DYN because I like playing as the good guys
