Rise of the Reds – or ROTR for short – improves upon the C&C Generals formula while also adding its own distinct elements to it. Most notably, the mod adds two completely new factions, the tank-heavy Russian Federation and the defence-oriented European Continental Alliance. In addition, the three original factions China, USA and GLA have been greatly expanded and redesigned in a variety of ways, with several new units, buildings, powers and abilities to explore and combine in your in-game tactics.
As of the upcoming Patch 1.851, the GLA will have access to a third Mercenary unit. Available as early as Tier 0, the Runner is the most lightweight and cheapest of the three Mercenary types. His primary armament is a machete which is now exclusive to him and allows him to close in quickly with enemy infantry in order to deliver a killing blow. Alternatively, he can switch to a reliable pump-action shotgun for up-close engagements, making him an excellent close quarters combatant.
No more Machete for the grenade and MG variants? Quite sad since I prefer those both.
Yeah, that'd be a shame.
Sure, I get it if they want these to actually be made for the close quarters combat, instead of just having the other two fellers go stabbity stabbity, but still;
-It was kinda their schtick of insane stabbity killity person.
He seems like a nice person to have waiting outside your barracks early game
I assume he would save some damage resistance, or faster run speed, would he not?
Playing with these machete armed troopers reminds me of FarCry 3 pirate's charger,only,now I can build them as much as I wanted to slit enemies throat Good one,SWR team. (y)
I wish for a infantry(only) battle mode...
THIS! THEY SHOULD PUT IN DIFFERENT UNIT MODES THAT CAN ONLY USE THOSE UNITS!
"Ol' chop chop!"
The first thing i thought when i saw the leftmost and 2nd from left dudes: "WTF is that thing on top of their heads? a new type of mohawk? dunce cap? piece of shrapnel stuck on their forehead? megalodon tooth? or just another type of cutaneus horn?"
Turns out it's just the stock of their shotguns. silly me lol
The health of these little ***** is ridiculous.
