Re: Command and Conquer 4 announced
EA has said no Scrin though, but the Mutants are back apparently.

TBH, I think Tiberium Wars jibed better with the feeling I had left over from Tiberian Dawn.  Of course I didn't like Tiberian Sun much at all, it was, compared to the first one, a really rather poorly made game with a horribly disjointed narrative and bad game play, it may have been better in multi, but back then I didn't multi and could barely keep my head wrapped around the story.  I only played it the one time and I don't really remember what happened other than a supposed impaling of Kane.
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

You just randomly introduce a potentional species-destroying threat and then forget about it?

The Scrin were the best thing to happen to the mythos. I am annoyed.

Re: Command and Conquer 4 announced
Actually they just aren't revealing them yet.

IIRC, they said there would be 3 sides, but for now it's just GDI vs Nod.

Couldn't agree more. Although, I'm pretty annoyed with C&C4 period.

Re: Command and Conquer 4 announced
Why are they introducing a third side? RA3's Empire of the Rising Sun was bad enough. Why do that for C&C, too?

The Scrin were a pretty cool thing in C&C 3. They were unconventional (with the nasty razor sharp flying $h!t$ that cut down infantry like a lawnmower cuts grass or a bunch of other stuff). The way they killed off a few cities in Europe, and the way you had to regain control beginning with pockets of resistance in a wrecked and burning former city (pretty much like a futuristic Stalingrad) was a departure from conventional strategies and was also a lot of fun.

Also- I didn't play RA 3, so I don't know how much they messed everything up.

You don't have to have played it to know. All you have to do is watch the long trailer/intro.

No names could have done a better job.

Overall, RA3 was too overly-obvious as a 'for teh lulz' kind of game. Cartoony and all... RA1 and RA2 were kinda more serious, compared to RA3.

And personally, I didn't like EA's Scrin. Westwood's Scrin concepts were better, IMO.

RA2 was not serious at all. :p RA1 was more so, although not at the level of C&C1.

RA3's real problems were with its gameplay, as I described here some time ago. It was inferior to C&C3 in numerous ways and felt like a game that had come before C&C3, not after it.

RA2 was still more serious than RA3 :p And more fun than RA3.

Any explanation would be a letdown at this point.

I will ask that you explain yourself. Please do so with the clear understanding that I may decide I am angry enough to destroy all of you and raze this sickening mausoleum of fraud down to the naked rock it stands on.

Glanced through the thread. Did no one post this/url]? Given all the anxiety expressed here, I'd expect some about that, as well. Unless it has since changed?
pretty sure its been posted somewhere else in a WTF thread

And yeah, its BS that it needs web connection to be played, damn anti-piracy things.

With Steam at least you can choose to operate in "offline" mode.
