Re: Command and Conquer 4 announced
Honest to ****ing God! Who thinks this **** up!? Basically they are ripping out everything that makes C&C game a C&C game and dumping it!  :mad:

Why even bother to make it in the first place?  :hopping:

Maybe the game designers never played the previous CnC games?

At least we'll always have the excellent C&C3.

Re: Command and Conquer 4 announced
Finally the dreaded sidebar is gone.

What? Am I the only one who disliked C&C's interface in favor of something every other RTS already knew was better?

Re: Command and Conquer 4 announced
But every C&C game has the sidebar.  Every one besides C&C4 it seems like.
17:37:02   Quanto: I want to have sexual intercourse with every space elf in existence
17:37:11   SpardaSon21: even the males?
17:37:22   Quanto: its not gay if its an elf

[21:51] <@Droid803> I now realize
[21:51] <@Droid803> this will be SLIIIIIGHTLY awkward
[21:51] <@Droid803> as this rich psychic girl will now be tsundere for a loli.
[21:51] <@Droid803> OH WELLL.

See what you're missing in #WoD and #Fsquest?

[07:57:32] <Caiaphas> inspired by HerraTohtori i built a supermaneuverable plane in ksp
[07:57:43] <Caiaphas> i just killed my pilots with a high-g maneuver
[07:58:19] <Caiaphas> apparently people can't take 20 gees for 5 continuous seconds
[08:00:11] <Caiaphas> the plane however performed admirably, and only crashed because it no longer had any guidance systems

And besides Generals. Which is a CnC only in name as well.

The sidebar is kinda like a C&C tradition. No sidebar = no C&C.

I'm still gonna play it, but I'm just very upset about how it looks.

For a 2D top down RTS, sure. But as soon as you start using 3D graphics (and even 2D isometric I'd wager), the sidebar limits more vision than what can be called now the stardard RTS interface.

Nah. It depends purely on how it's done.

Re: Command and Conquer 4 announced
To be fair, using a traditional, RA2 era sidebar would obstruct a fair bit of the play area. The current RA3/C&C3 one isn't so much a sidebar as a small section cordoned off.

Re: Command and Conquer 4 announced
Umm, EVA is a support AI that handles the collection, collation, and display of relevant strategic and tactical data for Field Commanders in GDI.  She's received 3 major upgrades and 3 minor upgrades in the last 40 years and shows no signs of being incapable of fulfilling her function.  How does she need a replacement exactly? 

I suggest you keep your candy ass in RA3 if you want Short Skirts, Big Boobs and Vacuous Expressions from your assistants.

Generals had none of those. Generals didn't even have human actors. Relax.

C&C3's Eva wasn't really bad either.

RA2's wasn't bad either, but RA3's can wander off and die, along with its Tanya. (And RA2's Tanya.)

That is a startling testament to the crappy cinematography of RA2.
