So whats the secret strategy in multiplayer?

[THEREALJOEYY]

It always seems the enemy just simply has more resources than me every time. Last game my base got rushed by like 8 smialy walkers while I could barely push to the objectives the dude had gunners before etc. Just not sure what exactly I am doing wrong, coming from not so fast paced RTS games I can't figure it out.

just assumptions on my sie.
He may picked up the gunners from one of the boxes on the map and for the resources.. Did you upgrade yours?
I usually upgrade my first iron as soon as possible (when i hit my first 60 oil) then my oil is either upgraded before any building goes down or directly after it, the next iron follows after the first 3 to 4 units.

And resource crates... try to get as much as possible while i value oil higher ;)

I value oil higher as well it just seems regardless of what strategies I have tried the enemy always seems to have the behemoth mechs and squads of 3-4 gunners before I can manage to make anything substantial. Its a bit hard to wrap my head around this super fast paced style of RTS multiplayer so maybe I'm just going through it

you should use control groups, split your rifles away from your engis, and move your rifles in the same direction from the start of the game.

Resources are everything. Crates/barrels are one-time boost in resources that are faster to get than mines/pumps in a pinch. Depending on whether you want your workshop or your barracks first, you should grab the resources you need for those first few units first. Infantry love iron while mechs are more oil hungry. Mechs also love iron, and are generally expensive to field and mass in numbers.

Secret tech is to build advanced workshop and put out a Gunship. It's good vs pretty much everything so long as you protect it and micro it effectively. You could always grab it as your R2 as well. They're pricey, but they kill mechs, infantry, and heroes. They deal heavy damage to everything and out-range almost everything.
