damnit... westwood was one of my favorites too...

and i don't care what any of you say, i liked all the c&c games that i played (tiberium dawn, red alert1, tiberian sun, TS firestorm, and RA2... [i never played yuri's revenge, but it looked fun...]) and i especially liked them becasue there were no unit limits, so you could have massive battles on multiplayer...

Westwood has not vanished, only it's own office at Vegas has been shut down. All of the employees have moved to Los Angeles where most of EA:s other people are. They still work for EA, and they still make games. The name "Westwood" just doesn't excist anymore.

I heard this from an Westwood employee, so I figure it's true.

Yeah despite outcry from the community...its pretty much just the Westwood name that is disappearing.  Their offices are closing and all of that but the C&C game that they are indeed working on (despite the press release - which is official and cannot mention unofficial things) is being moved to the new EA LA offices.  As is the EA Pacific team which is also moving there and will be working on the Generals Expansion Pack.

So the elimination of a competitor to say...oh....Blizzard is a good thing?  I think not.  Westwood may be behind the curve most of the time and I've probably gotten far more multiplayer enjoyment out of War3 than I ever did out of RA2 but having the competitor there ensures that the other does not stagnate.  Plus C&C always held a special kind of interest to me...especially the original.  The original had style...I hope Generals catches onto it with its modern day approach.
