NSDF i like the fury mission where you destroy the hanger and command center and especially the mission where you destroy the furies factory.
CCA I like the mission where you have to defend the engineers hanger and have fun killing nsdf units over and over and over.

ROTBD :? How?

CCA: The last level :-)
NSDF: The one on Mars where you have to investigate ruins in a volcano thingy :lol:
I used to have odyssee...... not anymore. And I don't remmber a thing from it. Think it's cheap on ebay?

im sure that was a community mod right?
TRO was the official expansion for BZ1. You'd have to find a copy of it.
CCA: Last mission.
NSDF: Europa infiltration mission.
VSMIT.
CCA: The mission where you steal back your recycler.
NSDF: The mission Total anniahlation. The one after you infiltrate, and u destroy the base.
TRO: The mission where you are Soviet and start off on foot, have to infiltrate the Chinese base as you snipe attacking infantry on the way, set a Nav in the base, steal a ship, make it to a Recycler, build a base, stop attacks, then go snipe a Tug in a convoy.
NSDF & CCA - Same as GBD.
TRO - Only played once but I think it's the chinese mission where you get demoted to driving a scav.

That was one tough mission, and I did love it. The mission starts with something like "Our Russian comrades have not shared their technology with us, something we are about to remedy..."
Yeah, with a Daywrecker... that'll fix that little sharing problem. :)

That was an amazing mission. During one of the brief quiet moments I ventured out from my base and saw a huge red/black flower appear, and then unfold in front of me into a half dozen Grendals. :) That's why I try not to spawn all my ships in one spot... it really freaked me out at the time. :)
My absolute favorite is "The Three Beacons", on Titan, where you first encounter the Furies. Darn near the perfect "B" 50's Sci-Fi movie in a game. Didn't hurt that the first time the first Fury approached my base the game crashed. What an enemy, that they can even crash your game... :)

First time I saw a fury I looked right at a red radar dot, didn't see anything, turned around, nothing, tunred back and it was THERE.
Later found out they can fly.

Why do people never look up? :?
Did, it was out of view range when I did.
Yes I agree, ppl rarely look up. :roll:
Or down. :evil:
Thats because theres usually not much to see.
oh, and as for fav TRO mission, i'd have to say the same as BBB. :)
TRO Bdog mission, hmmm...probably the one where u have to sieze the portal.
I actually just finished replaying TRO. (after running thru BZ1 Again) and TRO is exceedinlgy more difficult than BZ1, by far. Things got REALLY hectic quite often. Relentless... heh.
That's because the lead level designer is a sadistic SOB... :)
TRO had the philosophy that the Player should be the target at all times. Every unit on the map is keyed on the player, most actions are triggered by the player, and everything is set to happen all at once or at the worst possible time.
When you come up over a rise the turrets are already looking at you, when you cross a certain line nearby units head for you, and when you try to catch your breath the game is waiting to unleash Hell on you.
That's why it was so much harder than BZ1's missions. I can walk through BZ1 on Hard in an afternoon, as all fall before me like chaff in the wind. TRO is still a pain in the butt to complete even with mad BZ1 skillz... :)

Yeas, TRO is excellent in all respects. Once I learned the trick to winning the seizing-the-portal mission, it was fairly easy. It kept you on your toes, but was do-able.
It does matter whether you're playing with or without the TRO Patch, btw, as it fixes some strangeness with certain units, buildings, and adjusts a couple of scripts to make success possible. I learned a lot about scripting from Toni and Mick, such as to never rely on a Nav beacon to send something to... (preplaced Navs had to be made invulnerable by the patch because just blowing up your own Nav would stop tons of units from finding you... :) )

I'm on the second mission on Elysium and have been stuck. Haven't even got past the first Chinese mission! LOL
Some TRO tips:
The main thing with TRO is resource management, as you'll be using a LOT more ammo and repair than in the BZ1 stock missions. Whenever you can get a Supply up, then a Hangar. If you keep eating pods all day you'll never be able to build tanks to take the place of the one you just lost. :)
I use my 'baiting' skills to the max in TRO, trying to keep the AI from attacking my defenses. Hide, lead, shoot/run, anything to keep them busy while your turrets and GT's eat them up.
The AI likes the TAG CANNON. One of the most effective units in AI hands is the Stoli, so make sure all they ever Tag is a nav... back away from them and use Navs to block the tag, or the rockets if you miss the tag.
The AI cheats so anything goes. They snipe from mid air in certain missions, so keep moving and always have an MDM handy. They don't have to pay for units, so hammer them with Turrets around a Supply, GT's behind hills and around bends, and lots and lots of rockets so you can eat them up as loose. Line up miniguns in the path of Golems so they switch out to a wimpy weapon. Snipe them in staging areas, mortar them from hilltops, do whatever you can to take them out from a distance. Rockets, comets, and mortars are your friends.
Time is your enemy, and part of making it through the missions is learning what happens next so you can push your time limits to the max, make units before they're needed, and be in the right spot at the right time.
Snipe, snipe, and more sniping. Being a good sniper means taking out enemy AI from as far away as possible, saving ammo and repair, and getting ships when you don't have the scrap for them. Remember above, though, as the AI cheats and some units are deliberately not snipeable.
