NOD recruiter: "You seem healthy enough, now we just need to figure out what unit you wil-"
Recruit: [muttering to himself about killing GDI troops and repeatedly twitching]
NOD recruiter: "...you ever driven a bike or buggy, son?"
Imagine being in battlefield and see this weird vehicle.
POV: you are a tank and you are seeing a pack of buggy and bikes.
@@canon07 And then they attack and bunch of buggy drivers end up headshoting themselves due to uneven terrain
@@AdamMichalMarkowski those technicals
Medium sized machine: panic running
Bikes: why are you running? WHY are you running!?
Mad Maxing through the battlefield be like...
Nod Recruit: WITNESS ME!!!!
GDI: " We got Orcas , Hammerheads, Mammoths , Predators, APCs , Zone troopers , Titans , Pitbulls and everything else including all the world's support. What do you got punk!!??"
NOD: " Bike Buggy go zoom zoom....!!!"
GDI: " Damn you...!!"
I'll be honest, I never liked the Pitbull in GDI's Arsenal. It feels like a Nod unit. Sure, from a realism perspective, it makes sense, but since when has C&C been realistic?
"Let's go on a raid!" is my most quoted unit callout when gaming with my buddies.
I used to play destiny a lot, i would always quote this as a funny little reference for no one but myself
Tib-core bikes are some of the scariest things in Kane's Wrath.
Because Tiberium missiles?
@@patrik9328 The hit and runs, the speedy little shits
My harvesters agree
Stealth Tanks(or Mantises for the Black Hand) or Attack Bikes with those is bad news...
Tiberium warheads pack a mean penetrating punch...
@@louievelayo4100 of course they do
A minor note
If the attack bike rider werent careful, the missile speed is slower than their bike and may destroy themselves
That’s a real shitty missile lol
That's probably a good reason why they fire stationery in game. Perhaps, a skilled rider could perform the mobile firing, which would make sense and give a layer of interesting depth to these guys.
@@TheNapster153 could be a targeting thing too
NOD is not NOD without trusty bikes and buggies
Let's go for a raid!
I'd like to add a note about the wide and low design of the t2/t3 attack buggies; Keeping a wide but low profile means terrain is more effective at providing cover, allowing even small differences in elevation to give the buggy fully cover where as a conventional tank would still be mostly exposed. The wide profile is also likely why it doesnt alert veinhole monsters - spreading its low weight out so much likely reduces the agitation to the veins as it passes over them. Considering even the weight of a jumpjet pack was enough to anger the beast, I'll assume this design choice was intentional.
If Jethild was Director of the Command of Conquer series entirely, we would be on a badass Command and Conquer 6 by now
Ps: Jethild, its people like you that keep this series interesting. You deserve the youtube silver button
I totally agree with you
If anything I'd say the 3rd wars Bikes and Buggies were almost a downgrade when compared to the 2nd wars, seeing as they were expected to be crewed by militants with poor protection rather then fully trained nod fanatics. So they didn't need much protecting the drivers as they were cheaper then the gear they used. Just wash off the blood and give it to a new yellow zoner high on tib infusions.
Command: Team 2, are you in posit-
Team 2: WHOOOOOOOOO YEEEEAAAAH BAAABBY THATS WHAT I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR !
I didn't play CnC sun not that much and in Nod CnC 3 campaigns I rarely use them
@@Honzik207 They're no good in a slugging match that is for sure! Personally I can't use them in every battle beyond supporting an infantry wave or for simple scouting missions. I simply prefer other tools for the kinds of battles I plan such as stealth tank ambushes, or artillery crawls.
Tbf most of everything on there was a downgrade tib sun units wer far more advanced looking tib war's always felt more like a prequel
Well it meant to be cheap and spamable
You don't expect a base killing force from a unit that you can built 4 of theme arly game without making a dent in your wallet right?
im surprised there isnt a kamikaze bike in Nod's arsenal, considering how fanatical some of their units are
Actually a tiberium suicide bomber would fit pretty well
Gla terrorist be like:
Considering that the other C&C franchise; Generals: Zero Hour do allow Terrorists to mount the bike, it is surprising the main C&C don't have this.
Would be op terrorist bikes in generals were great for ambushes and base attacks especially since you can climb terrain with them maybe they didn’t want to make a super op meta
@@Utubesuperstar could be having a swarm of bikes drive up a cliff side to dive down onto an unsuspecting enemy base was really fun though
"Hit & Run" tactic has never looked so good until now.
Im glad to see every new video. C&C is one of the game franchises that I loved sharing with my son, and now even he's a C&C geek like his father. He's watched every single one of your videos as well. I know a few times I've knocked on his door to hear one of the videos from your playlist going and seeing him play C&C at the same time.
His friends at school : Wow. CnC is fun. We should play it too.
Your kid : *Our cabal emerges*
The irrate cringe roblox kids : Lmao CnC is old. No one plays that stupid game anymore nerd hahahha
Your kid: *Arms Tiberium sprayer*
PURGE THESE HERETICS
Looks very curious and creative for part of the nod engineers to adapt this simple vehicles for the war.
Eat your heart out, Toyota! The future of war adaptability is Nod!
@@MrDibara lol the great Toyota war.
Degenerate
@@canon07 _Who needs pickups when you have buggies?_ ;)
@@MrDibara sad technical noise.
So you’re telling me the CnC3 buggies drivers were driving while doing the jack-o pose this entire time and no one noticed?
Maybe only while he’s driving lol who knows 😂😂😂
Oh great, the image is there...
Can't unsee, help... 🤣
rememba, red goes fasta!
Faster *Faster* !
I'z likes wat ya finkin', ya git!
@@louievelayo4100 wil' teach them stoopid humies how a proper krumpin goes.
imagine taking a ride with your buggie
next thing you know you get crushed by an MK-2
For April Fools day, will you cover something from Tiberias Twilight?
Renegade buggys were also a counter against GDI MLRS as they have a hard time to hit them compared to slow light tanks.
And you could also turn them into sucuide bombs with explosives on front hood. All you had to do is to crash into another player tank, jump out and click the boom :D
I always found the attack bikes to be so satisfying to use. They were always like a wild pack of hyenas ready to pounce.
Considering the attitude and vocal tone of their drivers, no surprise...
Pair them with stealth tanks and its satisfying just to see them move across the map as a fast reactioj force
Dude, you have no clue how much I love your vids. Keep it up!
Tib Sun's Attack Cycle has the coolest design, too bad its also the most underpowered
For the cost almost as high as a Tick tank, the Attack Cycle has terrible damage, terrible accuracy (it can't even hit moving harvesters) and terrible durability. The only C&C game where the bike is a worthless unit.
@@RoadKamelot2nd the tick tank was trash to tbh
@@LunaPPK Most Nod units were in TS. Much as I loved the game, it was horribly flawed in terms of balance, still is.
@@RoadKamelot2nd yeah Titans just beat the crap out of everything, GDI just has overwhelmingly superior vehicles overall, with the exception of NOD's Artillery which got nerfed during Firestorm
@@RoadKamelot2nd The thing is, you don't play Nod like you play GDI. Yes, in a head on GDI vs NOD army in Tibsun, Nod would get destroyed. But that's not purpose of Nod units in Tibsun. Nod is all about guerilla tactics, and I find their units reflect that perfectly in Tiberian Sun.
The original design in the first game was an actual dune buggy, which had no armor.
Bloody rocket bikes are always a pain in the ass especially for us GDI commanders
I requested a video on this topic a while ago, glad to see it's finally here!
Every time I am surprised and glad how you stretch the story for 15 seconds to 15 minutes. Maybe the next video will be about walkers?
I fucking love your videos man, keeping C&C alive.
Thank you for the new video. These are a great watch. So happy you're taking the time to make these still.
Yes! Love Tiberium Lore!
It's a good day when Jethild uploads. Leaving this comment for the algorithm cause I love this channel.
Love when you drop a video so much Lore and info in this series love it 😃😃.
Are you going to be covering The Base Defensive & Offensive Systems next like all of them ?.
Energy and Projectile Based and The Walls and Sand Bangs ETC ?.
Respect and keep up the epic work.
He already did defensive structures videos
I split the topics up based off their respective factions. I've pretty much covered everything I planned to cover regarding the Scrin. Though they don't have as extensive of a history compared to Nod or GDI factions. Nod will eventually get a video covering defenses/support systems. For me "lore complete" is basically talking about all the playable units and structures in the 3 major Tiberium games and their respective expansions. Plus a few other topics related to the overall story of the series.
@@Jethild i personally love renegade and would love to see renegade dedicated videos of some kind
almost a thousand likes and ZERO dislikes. That shows how dedicated this C&C fanbase is
You do know youtube pretty much got rid of the dislike button
He's right though, the dislike is now gone
@@silkenemperor I got that chrome extension that makes RUclips show the dislikes. Pro tip
@@blaafferd I doubt it yet it's possible
I just watched 9 videos in a row. These lore videos are great! Keep 'em coming!
Of all the buggy and bike designs, I still like the designs of the Renegade Buggy and the TS Cycle the most.
Great video! I've always favored playing NOD for their fast and sneaky units like these.
Thank you man you made my request.
As always great video, great work
Absolutely love these videos!!!
Excellent work!👍
I love the level of details in these videos. Amazing.
Great vid, always cool to see the evolution of units
Yeeeeey a new one is out awesome glad to see your works they are awesome!
Love you lore videos my friend ❤
you did it again awsome work
The Second war designs are the most versatile I think.
I love this channel. You do such an amazing job, you can tell you are a true fan and really love the series. I look forward to more of your videos!
Only got around to watching this now. I really love how you give some added depth to the C&C universe.
I love your videos about the C&C universe. It is very informative and fun. Thank you for making these. Keep up the good work.
Great video!
i always liked the late 1st war attack bikes. They are My Favorite
Another great video ! Thank you jethild for covering command and conquer related content ! It would be great for people to stumble and enter to play the franchise by just watching videos like these :D
Commander and conquer zero hour is now the best strategy game in the world so i hope you make another videos about it because your past videos about this game was awesome
never thought u would do a video on this topic!
Babe, its 4pm! New Jethild video dropped!
It's probably gonna be the number always happy to see more commanded conquer keep it up Buddy
Nice new upload
excellent work as always! Will you branch out into other games too? Starcraft comes to mind..
Sounds good!
SC lore isn’t covered very often. Yet it is pretty interesting too.
I do have something else in the works, but not related to Starcraft.
@@Jethild Hmmmmm is it supreme commander ?
The third war bike and buggy are supreme testament of un-ergonomical design!
GREAT VIDEO! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO A BREAK DOWN OF THE C&C RIVALS ATTACK BIKE , THE DESIGN FOR RIVALS IS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!
I ask how much content dose this game have ? It really amaze me u still find a topic on this game
Reminds me how I would do a distraction with tick tanks artillery and stealth tanks at their front base and side line them with bikes for behind in tiberium dawn
Reminder that people in the Tiberium universe thinks NOD is cool.
This is one of the reasons.
I swear the bike and buggy are cool.
Welcome back commander jethild...
I LOVE these videos Love to see one on the forgotten and maybe even mention that famous mod the forgotten: a mod that was made from the ground up with a campagin (complete with conry diolouge and cgi cutscenes|) units and a mishmash of old and new.
"This bike's ready! & Let's go on a raid"
I've thought for a long time now that Nod's bikes would be more sensible and in the style of Nod as reverse-trikes, two wheels forward and one center drive wheel in the rear, similar to the bikes shown in Death Stranding. Also, if the bikes had their missiles mounted in a diagonal or vertical configuration rather than pointed directly forward it would allow for more of them to be mounted
I dont believe this is a known fact but the N64 version of the original C&C made it so bikes were crushable by medium tanks and harvester
It was the same in the PS1 version...
Dunno if it's the same case in the OG and the Remaster...
Love those bikes and buggies, wish someone make them real.
Thats a lot of vehicle changes I don't think I noticed the first time through
It's amazing to see how the TW3 Buggies and Bikes managed to get anywhere without being plonked off by a GDI Sniper team. You'd think someone at Nod would be thinking "ahhh...let's give our light vehicles a *bit* more armour?"
no wonder they keep losing :3
Super bro
Playing as Nod in the first game was difficult at times, but Kane's will be done.
Believe it or not, NOD buggies are capable of carrying Tiberium sprayers or flame throwers across battlefields.
Isn't the buggy had a Tib sprayer from rivals?
Just noticed watching yesterday, any plans for a GDI Navy video?
It's on the list. I feel like that's a good spring/summer topic.
Fun Fact: In the german version of all C&C tiberium wars the bike always was called Nod-Mot (short for Motorad - motorcycle)
Thats kinda cool to be honest
part of me likes CnC3's attack back, looks light and slim but an amazing unit I find myself using far more in recent playthroughs.
But I always thought the buggy in 3 had a canopy but I guess I was misremembering.
"the most cost efficient method is to increase the production of Trikes this is the most cost effective strategy this is advice!"
Resume spice production or spend your life in a pain amplifier. That is a threat.
Attack Bike and Raider Buggy combo can be a pain in the butt, but imagine how nightmarish it would be if your opponent isn't prepared at all to face a swarm of stealthed Attack Bikes...
Please Supreme Commander next
I think the two round salvo limitation is a safety feature, for the benefit of the bike driver. Exposed as the driver is I'd think missile blast and heat from the rocket motor would be just as dangerous as incoming fire to the driver.
I doubt Nod's VA would cover injuries caused by missile blast, citing it as non service connected.
This bike's ready!
Everyone laughing at the buggy til it brings them back to the stone age.
Jethchild please have mercy and make the Renegade camera follow the reticule when you gather clips.
Peace through power
Full throttle!
Wrong game, right attitude
Cliffs? Let's do it!
I ride alone!!
Roads? How boring!
raid and pillage!
Considering how much of a death trap some of these buggy/bike designs are, I am assuming none of the more of their mind members of the Brotherhood would ever pilot one of those things. I wonder how Nod kept those more well minded folk from just becoming disillusioned and disgusted with their more "Brothers are expendable" type deals, like the bikes/buggies. Stands to reason, even among a sea of zealots and extremists you had to have some who weren't that convinced, and due to human nature their numbers were likely a bit too high to just use the good ol "Report to faith re-structuring" approach involving a lovely chat with a member of the Black Hand beating some sense into them. I can't imagine a more frustrating job in the Tiberian universe though than being in the Brotherhoods safety and security division, trying to fruitlessly argue against things like the Tiberian Wars era buggy being too dangerous to friendlies to be used, to no avail.
Well, maybe they get peer support from the guy who has to try to deal with Harvester number two taking a detour through the GDI base on their way back to the Tiberium refinery, or investigating why two harvesters seemingly for no reason decided to drive into one another on a narrow land strip and neither of them just moved aside. Or whoever deals with two tanks parking next to each other thinking it's guarding while a snarky attitude filled commando full of one-liners is busy blowing the base up, while those dang German pioneers are out for lunch, so the Temple of Nod isn't getting rebuilt after nobody informed the frustrated base commander about GDI's ion cannon being in orbit above it after they spent a lot of time setting up base defenses, one of which seems to have gone missing after a bunch of Brothers thought it was a good idea to carry an Obelisk of Light into battle.
Remember - To know the past, is to conquer the future. Assimilate the fandoms history, for it is your own. Kane probably doesn't want it, as it's a particularly humiliating episode in the Brotherhoods past, but hey, we all could use a bit of Tiberium Ectacy in our lives time to time.
the more you look at the arsenals of both GDI and NOD, the more i feel like C&C 3 is more a sequel to the first game and less one to tib sun when it comes to unit rosters
That's what it was unofficially intended to be. You can see this in everything, from the GDI Pitbull, being almost a dead ringer to the humvee, the power plants for both factions, being very similar to their original designs, the NOD barracks and even GDI going back to the mammoth mark 1 designs, after having the mammoth mark two.
Like E here said, TW3 was supposed to be kind of a soft reboot, which is why most of the unit designs are similar to the first game. Originally TW3 wasn't even supposed to have blue tiberium, but the devs added it in since fans wanted it.
Every video looks like NETFLIX Document and i love it
THIS BIKE IS READY!
U should explore the Starcraft universe. It’s equally interesting and amazing
The Nod recon bike was based on a Anime called, "Akira"
So what do you have to offer in terms of armoured units?
GDI: we have medium tanks and titans! The most versatile and advanced tanks around!
Soviets: wi chave the cheavy tenk! Built of pure Stallinium, with the biggest bang for your ruble!
Allies: our light and medium tanks are the most precise tools, fit for for the most civilised form of combined arms warfare.
Nod: “The ultimate warmachine!”
And by ultimate we mean:
BUGGY!
Gotta do a buggy bike run in front of the main group. 15 of each
“Gonna brain em!” From rivals.
For some reason you never really get to fight recon bikes in the original GDI missions in Tiberian Dawn. AI oversight or hard-coded that way, I don't know which. Perhaps recon bikes would have made the game harder. Then again you don't really get to fight and destroy any recon bikes in the Renegade single-player campaign.
Holy chariots of Kane's wrath!
Kinda new here I been going down a rabbit hole of your videos lately but do you plan on doing red alert content?
I've got some ideas for video topics in the Red Alert timeline, but right now I'm focused on the Tiberium timeline; as I still have several more videos to do in it.
Well Done and Welcome back once more. Continue the declassified briefings.
Attack Cycles in Tibsun are underrated
How such simples machines can have a impact is beyond me
Dude irl stuff like this makes a huge impact in warfare look at Ukraine and the Middle East they use toys for isr weapon’s deployment, they have technicals etc etc
They're cheap, highly mobile and pack a surprising amount of damage. A pack of bikes attacking a Mammoth tank can be compared to a man being attacked by a group of hornets. The human is a lot bigger and can kill them with a swat, but dies to their stings all the same.
The Nod Bikes are badass in my opinion. Especially in Kane's Wrath my favorite of the franchise, Perfect for hit and run tactics, and pretty anyone can fit the bill of being conscripted instantly into one like a weak thin man like me HAHA 😂👌 of course, that's if This was real, wish it was.
Also Command and Conquer and many other games like Fallout Predicted the future HAHAHA 🤣👌
Your videos have gotten better and better, like Tiberium, you evolve HAHA 😂👌
You should make a collab video with no strings and play kane's wrath together haha.
