I own C&C 3 and I think its a brilliant game, which is wide open for the use of many different game tactics. Does anyone have any killer tips for this game? Here is a nifty build order I have for GDI:

1. Refinery, emissary

2. Power plant

3. war factory

4. harvester, 2 pitbulls for scouting and 6 predators

5. Refinery

6. war factory

7. more refineries war factories etc at main base as well as expanded base.

8. Tech up

I do build a crane but only when I have a good income and a steady stream of build queues. I find building one at the start uses too much cash.
