Wow.. although it will just be a name, and not the true essence of C&C itself.

But another C&C themed game is always welcome. Hopefully it will fair better than the support Generals got.

EDIT: And oh yah, let's hope this isn't a photoshop or anything.. stupid fakes. Sad

Wow, I sure hope that isn't a fake.

I really wish we could have the old westwood team back though Sad

CnC just doesn't feel like CnC anymore. I miss the GDI/NOD rivalry, and the Full Motion Video briefs that went with the missions. It gave it that unique feel that Generals or Renegade didn't have.

EA would be publishing this though, so all hope is lost Sad

Well if it is a Command & Conquer the im sure that there is going to be a NOD and GDI. Rumours have told that the alien race from Tiberian sun is making appearence in the new game... But this is only rumours..

Yah that's exactly it... When EA bought Westwood, they just bought their name. Generals really has nothing in common with the other C&C games' themes. They just bought the popular name and slapped it on some other RTS with tanks and stuff.

So, even if this is a new C&C game, it is not truly a new C&C game. Smile

But I still welcome it, I had a lot of fun with Generals (for awhile, hehe) and I'm sure I will have a lot of fun with this.

Generals had high production values and beautiful graphics and effects but it lacked the atmosphere of the previous command and conquer games. I loved those FMV briefings, where the hammy acting was all part of the fun. I fear this may be the future for the LotR strategy game, but it looks good so far.

EA really should change their slogan.

New one should read: E.A - Fuck Up Everything.

At least then they aren't decieving consumers Razz

Yeah I have to agree, I even think that most of their games were at least decent. And about BFME..... I just can't wait for this game Very Happy.

I don't care if they stick to the sports genre, as I have no experience with those types of titles. However, when they cross into a game like CnC, that is stepping too far.
Granted, Generals had good graphics, and decent gameplay, but it was NOT CnC. It pisses me off to see them steal the label to one of the coolest RTS's ever and put crap under it.
Just take a look at Zero Hour. 2 Patches and its still massively unbalanced (Superweapon Aurora Alphas take out EVERYTHING unless the opponent rushes).
The fact is, EA, like most publishers today, doesn't give a shit. They defile the name of once great titles all in the name of the almighty dollar. Well they aren't getting my money, not a fucking cent.

As for Command and Conquer 3, who knows? I seriously doubt it will retain the CnC feel though. Not with EA behind it. I would like to think it would, but I know it won't. God forbid they revert back to the old style and lose a percentage of the market Razz

We can only hope that this release will bring good things. Im hoping for a game much like the original, or even like the DUNE series! As for it being fake, I doubt it is, as a release of C&C 3 was bound to happen sooner or later.

Tiberian Sun wasn't that good, I didn't like it at all.
New C&C sounds really nice, and I hope for some high tech 3d engine.

I dont think making it 3d would destory the game (in the assumption this C&C will be anything like the originals), as long as they kept with the same style of design for buildings/tanks etc.. I wouldnt mind seeing it using a WC3 like engine.. But 2D would do me just fine Smile..

WarCraft 3 made an awesome move to 3D IMO, it was every bit as atmospheric and cool as WarCraft 2. Granted, EA are no Blizzard, but it's possible Wink

Yeah i agree that WC3 has the same great feeling as the 2:nd had, and yes it would really be a challange for EA to capture it in 3d Smile. I would love to se the old Testlacoils in the CnC 3.

I hope they bring those ultra hard missions from collectors edition of C&C (the first) back.

I was never able to complete more then one of them. I used a couple of hours and figured out I needed a invisible tank to drive around the enemies and destroy a church so I could get some money. After that I had like a chance on 1/10 to win the map (there were 3 armies on the perify of my base if more then one attacked then I attacked one of them I would lose). Ok I was a bit younger then.

Tiberian Sun was the biggest piece of crap ever made

The last one was.. "Good" but it did not feel right... kinda a bit cartoonish i think

Red alert series was the best imho
