Mobile Headquarters multiplayer mode image - Command & Conquer Unofficial Patch 1.06 mod for Command & Conquer
The Past Ain't What It Used To Be... The first Command & Conquer received its last official update on the 21st of June, 1996. Since then, the game has been ported to Windows (as "Gold" version), and re-released in the big "The First Decade" collection pack, but has never received any more bug fixes. The C&C Gold Patch 1.06 project aims to bring this classic into the new millennium, by fixing the old bugs, supporting higher resolutions, and adding new modding and mapping possibilities. It also contains an addon-based language system, allowing anyone to create translation packs for the game.
This is a game played in the Mobile Headquarters mode. The basic concept is simple; you are personally on the battlefield, in a command vehicle. If that vehicle is destroyed, you are dead, and thus you lose. To accomplish this in the game, the destruction of the Mobile HQ triggers the self-destruct of everything owned by that player.
This game mode was originally accessed by playing a multiplayer game without bases, with the Capture The Flag option enabled. However, the CTF option was illogically hidden behind the AI Players option. In the 1.06b patch, this was changed so there is one button toggling between the four game modes; Bases On, Bases Off, Capture The Flag and Mobile HQ.
In this screenshot, I managed to slip two stealth tanks behind the enemy defense lines and I'm just about to destroy the Mobile HQ of the yellow player.
Thats one thing i hated,was the AI could detect your stealth tanks using some hax,with players you can pull good tactics such as this
They can't, actually, but some things you might not expect (like the Comm. Center) can actually detect them too.
