Command and Conquer 4 announced

Looks like there ending the Tiberuim series. I hope the single player doesn't have the AI allied commander to help you out like RA3, i just hated it, it ruined the singleplayer game in my opinion because your ally would either get all the resources or kill most of the enemy.

But it is sad that this will be the last game for GDI and NOD, had to happen though.

Hopefully they'll go for a more original style than CnC3's old-school. I mean, old-school was cool, but I want something like what TS could have been. Sorta like the Total War series... with tanks.

/stumbles into off-topic MW posts

Great.

Ever had that feeling that you'd finally be able to play something again after somehow managing to lose the original discs one way or another?

Finding MW4 itself was bad enough several years after the game's been long forgotten, then the eight additional mechs... either you bought them when they first hit the shelves, or you never got them at all...


---------------------


About C&C... really, is RA3 (or C&C3 even) THAT old? These way-too-soon announcements and fast release cycles bother me somehow. And then you have the impatient fanpeople that further add on to release cycle stress, and so on... And what about mods...?

:doubt:

Then again, never was a fan of C&C, didn't get involved in it at all... excluding RA2YR and the stock C&C3 GDI campaign, that is.

Sorry :nervous: the thought just hit me.

I don't like what I am hearing about this game. The talk of mobile bases and RPG elements sounds like they're going to make it more like a tactical control game than a traditional C&C-style RTS.

C&C3 was an excellent and highly polished game, but EA hasn't had a great record with the series after that. RA3 and the Kane's Wrath expansion had a lot of shortcomings.

Sounds like EA has caught the DoW2 bug where they remove epic bases and center the action on a few squads of units.  What's worse is that GPG has caught it in time for it to affect Supreme Commander 2.

Those ships look like mobile command centers similar to BF2142 Titans.

The only thing I don't like about it is that there's an american flag on that ship  :doubt:

On the other hand, it's fine, as long as USA is not praised in that game. GDI and Nod are global, not some USA-centered factions.

Can't wait for it :D

EA seems to have adopted the short release cycle for C&C also.

The third one is relatively good, but the only problem is that it doesn't seem to have longevity in single player mode. Even with the Skirmish (where Easy AI is a cake walk and Medium rolls over me all the time). I simply don't find myself to be interested enough to play the game again. Not so with C&C 1, the GDI campaign still kicks ass.

I'm still missing the feel of the first C&C, where when playing as NOD you really had to raze civilian buildings and wipe out scores of innocents. Third installment lacked this, along with the soldiers being blown to bits / torched. Also missing is the GDI guard tower machine gun sound.

Third one was already too sanitized.
Relaxed movement is always more effective than forced movement.

Well it'll certainly be a canon inconsistency. Countries as we know them today, virtually ceased to exist by the time of Second Tiberian War. I hope they'll fix this.

I think both the campaigns and skirmish mode are great. The campaigns are the longest of the series at 17 missions each, and at least on hard difficulty, they have the same challenging, puzzle-like feel that the old C&C1 missions did. I played through the game again last month and had a great time with it. I did like Kane and his personality better in the first game though, as well as the numerous action cutscenes.

The C&C3 skirmish AI is easily the best of any C&C or RA game and is pretty tough to beat on brutal difficulty. I have had many interesting co-op games against the brutal AIs.

The old guard tower sound was odd. It was like a chainsaw or something. :p

I prefer Tiberian Sun's Kane personality. In Tiberium Wars, Kane seemed to have... dunno, lost sight of his goals. That's why I hope CnC4 would fix it.

And CnC3 skirmish AI is fine. If you play against 6 Easy allied AIs, rushers to be exact, you'll get swarmed to death quite quickly, no matter how good you are. On the other hand, I've seen people defeat brutal AIs by sending a large group of engineers...

Congratulations ! You are the first person (outside of one forum filled with C&C fans) to notice the connection between my nickname and C&C :D

Me neither. Should I worry?

And I hope that CnC4 will keep the infantry-in-squads style.
