Now I hate PRC even more than before.

Almost everyone who played as China beat me.

Pacific front represent!

No love for Scorpion Cell D;

[X1Destroy]

Propably because it is even worse than LC?

[Speeder]

And to think it was the best subfaction during the beta.

Both factions are good, but I'd say they're pretty hard to use due to the micromanagement involved in using them, so a lot of players aren't really capable of using them efficiently.

Just had a LC vs SC match yesterday, and the result was Morales and mortar quads pawning left and right

The plague splaster is kinda......well, ineffective?

I would like to see the right way of using SC.

My favorites PsiCorps and second Pacific Front. I like the new look of the Magntron and the ablitly to hold a unit so I can freeze a Centurian and quickly dispose of it before reinforcements arrive.*Also to hold back Nuwa Cannons* My favorite unit in the game is the Hailstorm, it's got great range and pretty good splash damage.

I mean, sure the SC are micro-heavy. Speeder Trikes ca n be cumbersome to maneuver, along with sneaking in a group of Mantis Tanks. Although a massive wall of Tyrants, backed up with Brutes, Plague Splatters, Oxidizers and Gatling Tanks seems to punch a nice whole in most armies, in the endgame. Malver can provide a lot of support in the midst of a fight as well, since his deploy can severely hinder a large portion of the enemy force. Note that I'm not even close to being the best Scorpion Cell player out there, I'm just speaking from experience.

Speeder Trikes are essentially Faster versions of the Zephyr Artillery

 

I always go for the Spammy Side even though I suck at micromanagement. So I chose Scorpion Cell.

Scorpion Cell isn't about mindless spam. You have to use tactics with those units otherwise you'll see them dead.

I don't think they're that good due to their lack of variety and units that should define their strategy, they don't have enough unique units that represent their tactics is what I'm trying to say, and I think the same goes for the Latin Confederation, they seem to rely on harassment, numbers, rushing & being a lil sneaky, but not enough units that could actually fulfill those strategies.

[Petya]

I have seen players giving quick doom to their opponents in the first 5 minutes as Scorpion Cell. They have the cheapest and fastest units.

[X1Destroy]

Catastrophe spam won the day for me, again.

SC is surely isn't a threat if you survive to late game.

I've done that with Russia in less.

[BrainiacJP]

Wow, I expected fewer people for Euro Alliance.

 

[maestro21]

Euro Alliance!!! Because of Prism Tanks and Siegfried. 

[SPeeDMoMh]

Finally, voting subfaction!. Russia is my favorite side! Because of tesla weapons, Confederation, because of assault units & Flames and China, Because of EMP weapons, Mines and powerful Tanks (Nuwa cannon, Dragonfly and Centurion).

[Admiral_Pit]

Russia has the versatility that I need.  Tesla Cruisers for armor and troops, Wolfhounds for all-around except buildings, Akula subs for sneaky base attacks, the cool hero team of Volkov and Chitzkoi, fun mobilizing with the Stalin's Fist, and the classic Rhino Tank that can be paradropped.  Plus them Tsivils taking more hits than halftracks ever could.

 

EDIT:  For China now.
