Command & Conquer 4

There may be another thread about this but I only scanned over the last few so...



Anyhow...I installed the beta & tried to play, maybe I was playing the wrong gametype but there was no buildings, just a load of weak tanks & infantry to build that get creamed everytime they wander outside of the base


anyone else try this?

I didn't even know they were working on a new C&C!

Eh yeah I haven't played it yet but there's meant to be a new game style(the only style) i.e. no resource gathering or base building.

Er, huh? Then it's not Command & Conquer

Same as DoW2 - no resources, no building. Waste of money

You remove that you remove the heart of C&C.

DoW2 was shit and repetitive

And had no buildings or resource management.

Reminded me of Alien Swarm - 3rd person POV mod for UT2K4 (only worse).

Its a cheap and quick way to implement a game based on a top selling title

It's a cheap and quick way to lose hordes of gamers loyal to a particular franchise, and thus, in the long run, money.

i remember when i got C&C back in 1995. i remember using the ion cannon for the first time... i was sooo happy.

how they rearended that series of games i dunno. got red alert 3 when it came out.. load of ass on a stick.


starcraft 2 though lads, thats what ya want

CnC got jewed when westwood got bought by EA. Generals/zero hour was the last playable title from the CnC Franchise and its probably because westwood had already most of the game designed before EA.

Every games company is opting for the cheap, easy money now. Look at Call of Duty. I was a loyal player, i helped fund their company when their games were PC only, i played CoD, CoD:UO, CoD2 AND the shit that was CoD4. Then they release MW2 with no dedicated servers. And they wonder why people pirate games

People chip their Xbox's too, just its obviously more lucrative to target the young stupid people with shit games that they make their parents buy and that only last 2 weeks; rather than to make a decent god damn game.

I remember that. That game was so fucking awesome. When I first got to build that Ion Canon I was like HOLY SHIT BRO. Everything in that game was great - I used to get nightmares about the Obelisk of Light. You'd be exploring the map with some important unit you had just built, and suddenly you hear that low "NNNNNNNNNUUUUUURRRRRRRRRM" and you'd shit yourself, because you know that unit is now about to get pwned by a big ass laser.


RIP C&C

Mang: Bloody-shit-inducing when I heard that noise.

Ahhh, the memories

I'm looking at gameplay footage of it, and its just depressing the shit out of me. It looks exactly like c&C3(which was also shit), except without bases. It looks more like a fucking RPG than an RTS.

And the main objective of every mission is to CAPTURE STRATEGIC LOCATIONS! YAY HOW EXCITING!

EA sucks, they have the hand of death, everything they touch withers and dies, i played burnout 1, that game was fucking awesome, now look at it burnout paradise, no split screen multiplayer, no crash competitions, just fucking party mode where people take it in turns to do stupid challenges.

Im pretty sure EA ruining CnC is on a completely different level to them ruining a mediocre console game

Just givin an example, jeez

Last 1 i played regularly was Red Alert 2, the ones after that pretty much took all my desire to play a C&C game... they all sucked imo.
Hoping Starcraft 2 provides a good RTS fix whenever it's released... 2011 ?

I've been hearing the first half of 2010, but that may be the beta. This game is gonna be epic, i still play wc3 like daily, went off the original gameplay and moved onto custom games like Legion TD and Castle fight, Azeroth Wars and Lorderon tactics. The world editor is brilliant, the games people have created using it, i played a version of supreme commander with the wc3 engine, and it was pretty damn impressive, like the units fired and missed, like the simulator in supcom, and it even hit cliffs and walls, only draw back was the 12 unit control system.
But with the tech they have now, that galaxy editor they're giving out will be legen*hope you're not lactose intolerant*dary, plus this


Like, ok, the good maps will cost money, but for the ambitious and creative, this is just another form of the app store, so some people will make a few bucks.

I played Red Alert also, I used lots of cheats though, used to spin around in a knight rider car...ahh yes good times
