new command a conquer 4

[hammer oz]

iv only just heard about the new cnc thats coming out and to my suprise all iv heard is people complaining about it?

so people please tell me what you think of the new cnc that is coming out:)

[prophecy holder]

I beleive it's being made by EA, so expect a nice shiney polished turd. :)

[ZuljinRaynor]

No more CnC games please.

[hammer oz]

from what iv heard theyv gotten rid of base building and replaced it with a deployable base like halo wars, gotten rid of infantry havent seen any in the trailers iv watched so far and no tiberium harvesting you just go round picking it up

great good one EA way to ef up a really got strategy series.

i want westwood back:(

[Delicieuxz]

The only good C&Cs were the original and Red Alert. That was 15 years ago. EA never produced a respectable C&C game, and it's safe to say that the series died practically before it was even born, with Westwood's disbanding under EA.

[Echo Black]

Not looking forward to it. If it happens to be praised all across the board I might check it out.

[SpinX]

from what I've heard the new approach is pretty fun in multiplayer...

however, I dislike the unit design a lot! and not to mention the hovering tiberium crystals... whats up with that? :)

[Monkey Butler]

The only good C&Cs were the original and Red Alert.

RA2 (and supposedly 3, haven't played it) was awesome fun, although should never really have been called a C&C game.

[Kien]

The worst thing about it is that they have the nerv to name it Tiberian Twilight.

RA2 was on the edge of sillyness. With the xp YR it went too far. Everyone hates YR.

[ZuljinRaynor]

Yuri's revenge was the last decent one. All the ones after that have been garbage. Oh, especially Red Alert 3.

they did a good job with c&c 3 but when ra3 came out (it was alright) it started going topsy turvy

**** no! This is a good thing, RTS's have been copycatting eachother for so long it's no wonder almost nobody gives a toss about them anymore. The old "basebuilding and resource gathering and then attacking" concept is tried and true, it's time for something new. How about an RTS where you have a limited number of dudes available and you just need to tell them where to move and they'll do smart things like not stand still when being shot at and shooting while moving and taking cover and stuff? You could fulfill some optional objectives to be able to get more dudes. Oh and you win if you kill all of the enemies' other dudes.

Now that would call for some strategy, no more mindless rushing. :)

[Wamplet]

This.

I don't think I am really a fan of the CnC series. Isn't that the one with the fantasy/alternate timeiline world?

The only game I have played/bought from the series was Renegade, which I thought was pretty fun, though.

Aren't Roma Total War type games for such... games? RTS is abut build, harvest, battle. :3 That's what the game genre is abut. If you want chess type games play those Total War like games.

[Sang]

RTS is abut build, harvest, battle. :3

I thought the genre was about strategy in real-time but whatever floats your boat. :p

Did you guys know that there's a way to play the original C&C over the internet? (http://cncnet.cnc-comm.com/)

It's awesome! I never realized how strong this game was until I played some real people! It just once again proves that Westwood should've never gotten the shit end of the stick like they did. They knew what they where doing. EA does not.

The original c&c is one of the greatest video games ever created... by far the best C&C ever made...

This song shows its perfection...

I call it the Starcraft copycat, A lot of playable countries or commanders is like starcraft. One is well rounded with a selection of air support and ground units (terrian). One is hitech, don't need to mass a particular unit but a few really strong unites (Protoss). One is low tech with cheap units that you can make quickly and build in mass to destroy your enemies, strenght in vast numbers (Zerg).

CnC: Generals

Terrian: American/alliance

Protoss: China

Zerg: Whathever they call them.

RA3:

T: Alliance
P: China (empire of the rising sun)
Z: Russia

[ZuljinRaynor]

P: China (empire of the rising sun)

:doh::doh::doh::doh::doh::doh::doh:

Empire of the Rising Sun in Japan.

[Steve]

WTF? China? Seriously? Wow :D

I think starcraft is the mother of all copycats! :)
(they borrowed from warhammer 40K, starship troopers, aliens, and much more)

But who cares, it is a great game with great differences in factions...

The factions in generals are by no means comparisable with the ones from starcraft. Even the factions in red alert 3 doesn't even come close to the ones in starcraft. Red alert 3 has got original different factions IMO...

[Sang]

Starcraft is one of the few RTS's I like because the characters and units and setting are all totally awesome :love:

[ZuljinRaynor]

Jim Raynor is the best. :cool:

[SpinX]

apparently the developers have already said sorry for messing up this game :D

EA_APOC

C&C 4, our dev team, taking a risk, and my personal take on a specific matter, scroll down for my post http://bit.ly/aQfb4g

[Rider]

So... it's out and it sucks? Good to know. This'd better be a wake up call for the dev team. If it's not... then this'd better be the last one.

it seems that the story sucks, the campaign sucks, the unit design sucks, the music isn't c&c and the gameplay is retarded + no tiberium = epic fail...

[December Man]

The internet is in an uproar. They say this is THE worst CNC game to date. And this is how the story with Kane ends? Damn.

Were you expecting anything good out of this? All you do is just laugh at those who say "give it a chance" because they'll be the ones regretting thier decision about buying the game. ;)

Yes but they made good use of their borrowings. Originality is not as important as people think it is. Good design and execution are also a must.

After the terrible CnC 3 and RA3, it's not really surprising.

[Delicieuxz]

Is there any music in Red Alert 3 that's worthy of the quality in the original C&C or RA? I've owned the game a long time, but never bothered playing it. Just don't like the attitude of any non-Westwood C&C.

red alert 3 is a really fun and well made strategy game... Its fun to play with 3 very diverse factions with each an rather unique build style... the music isn't bad either... You should definatly try it...

The story sucks though...

[0marTheZealot]

CnC has been garbage since RA2.
