Like a facehugger in the movie Alien, a brief glimpse of something scurrying in the distance was enough to inspire pure terror in my blob. It was a Goliath, a miniature tracked vehicle carrying large amounts of explosives. Cumbersome, and controlled by an awkward command wire system - it would be easily snagged on various detritus littering the battlefield, and its controller should be very close by and vulnerable. The men in my blob were silent, looking awkward. Then one broke the bad news to me. There were no wires..... And ... and THERE WAS NO CONTROLLER.

The Goliath must have become sentient. It was operating until the control of forces unknown. The truesight mechanism used in COH2 meant it could be upon me before I knew it. I began to move my blob back down the road. I had barely clicked before the Goliath was spotted again scurrying behind a bush BEHIND my blob, between my position and the safety of my HQ. How could it have circled me so quickly! Could they really move so fast? With an icy realization it struck me.. the Goliath I spotted earlier was operated by the red okw player.

THE GOLIATH IN THE BUSHES WAS PINK

There were two Goliath stalking my blob. It appeared the pink Goliath was circling behind me, and attempting to drive me forwards, a classic predatory tactic perhaps hinting at a Goliath pack instinct. I cannot recount to you the horror of what happened next. Suffice to say that I unistalled the game immediately after.
