Command & Conquer 4 - Not getting LAN support or Dedicated Servers - Games

[QUOTE=Sub-Zero;20350375]This is a piece of shit and the creators are making this shit just to get money from the fans.[/QUOTE] That. And dedis are rare in RTS', but no LAN? You have to be kidding me.

EA, you SUCK! Command & Conquer is [B]DEAD![/B] No LAN? I am pretty sure the offline single player Skirmish is all that is left and even that won't save the game. Unless they decided not to add that as well.

[QUOTE=BCell;20360729] Command & Conquer is [B]DEAD![/B] [/QUOTE] C&C has been dead for a long time, since March 28, 2007 actually. I just hope they truly end the series with this game so they don't utterly rape the series for consoles. Don't deny it, that's what they're doing.

The last good C&C game was Zero:Hour. A rehash of that would be fine too EA.

It's like they are trying to run this game into the ground. I bet it sells so badly it doesn't get an expansion pack.

I liked Tiberium War, i don't understand why people doesn't like it.

I bet the game won't even sell at all. No wait, I bet only idiots would buy this.

[QUOTE=BCell;20361135]I bet the game won't even sell at all. No wait, I bet only idiots would buy this.[/QUOTE] idiots aka most of the mainstream players.

If you guys think this won't sell well, be prepared to be sorely disappointed. Its going to be shit, but that won't stop everyone from buying it.

I played the beta and i'm sorta liking it but hating myself for doing so. It's still not on the buy list. The funny thing is, and i mean really funny, is that you lot go on about how it seems like a game designed for the console market. After a while of playing i agree, it's feels very consoly. But the thing is (Get ready for it) EA have not announced any form of console version of CnC4 at all. It is, to my knowledge, going to be a PC exclusive. Now after all the things they have done. Fucking the gamemode, making a mistake in the name, remving dedi and LAN, this has got to be the most stupid move. This game is PERFECT for consoles, it feels like it was MADE for consoles and they decide to exclude them? Has EA had a major stroke or something? Because EA is one of the most money grabbing companies in the world and the chop out the biggest area of the gaming market when it;s a game that would fit right in. The thing is, most of us PC gamers will pirate it or just not buy it. Usually this is no problem ad they make up for it in the console port. This time we might just bankrupt the buggers.

Modern Warfare 2, and now THIS! Wake up publishers, we PC gamers want dedicated servers. caps

I don't understand why everyone is pissed at no LAN, do you all go to LAN parties or something? Unless of course you're mad because you can't pirate it and then use Hamachi.

Yeah, at college, LAN parties are the shit.

Dedicateds didn't really matter, but no lan? Bullshit. Game blows anyways.

[QUOTE=James0890;20363811]I don't understand why everyone is pissed at no LAN, do you all go to LAN parties or something? Unless of course you're mad because you can't pirate it and then use Hamachi.[/QUOTE] Yes.

This is soon not a RTS anymore. I guess the next news is "Play in First-Person as one of the soldiers in C&C4!"

Well then. You're fucked when CnC5 comes out and they turn off the servers for CnC4.

[QUOTE=Sibilantjoe;20366480]Well then. You're fucked when CnC5 comes out and they turn off the servers for CnC4.[/QUOTE] C&C4 is the last game in Tiberium Saga (probably the last C&C game i'm not sure)

[QUOTE=Sibilantjoe;20366480]Well then. You're fucked when CnC5 comes out and they turn off the servers for CnC4.[/QUOTE] This man gets down to the grit of it: this game will forcefully be made obsolete when CnC5 comes around (or just whenever they feel like, EA has shown they don't give a shit about keeping the servers active)

Who the hell came in and said "Let's make better singleplayer games, oh and let's save money on the multiplayer, nobody uses that anyways"? That's fucking stupid.

EA: "Hey guys, we really don't want you to buy our game :)" Though no dedi support is an obvious one - harldy any RTS games use Dedi's cause they don't need to.

Mass effect for example, is under EA's name although Bioware developed it. Basically Bioware is a News reporter and EA owns the printing press. And yet EA can't help but stick their cock in the honey jar.

[QUOTE=Stickmna;20361470]If you guys think this won't sell well, be prepared to be sorely disappointed. Its going to be shit, but that won't stop everyone from buying it.[/QUOTE] Wanna bet? I bet this game would sell less than a million copies a month after the game is released.

[QUOTE=James0890;20363811]I don't understand why everyone is pissed at no LAN, do you all go to LAN parties or something? Unless of course you're mad because you can't pirate it and then use Hamachi.[/QUOTE] LAN = No lag for RTS/FPS and are more fun then playing online with the same people.

A lack of dedicated servers? It IS an RTS game.. it is not built like WiC or Superpower 2 etc.. barely any RTS games use dedicated servers.. it's not the way most RTS' are supposed to be played Company of heroes: no dedicated servers Starcraft: none Warcraft 2: none Warcraft 3: none Dawn of War: none Dawn of War II: none C&C 3: none C&C 2: none C&C: none RA: none RA2: none RA3: none C&C:Generals: none Medieval II total war: none Medieval total war: none Rome total war: none Empire total war: none Battle for middle earth: none Battle for middle earth II: none Empire Earth: none Empire Earth II: none Empire Earth III: none Rise of nations: none Supreme commander: none the list goes on but I do think LAN is a good thing to have, i don't really LAN much but games as a rule should have the option but if a game is multiplayer, i generally play online, playing against AI can be boring and playing against the same people over and over is boring and easy

LAN = Hamachi = No need to open the ports when playing over the net

I don't even understand how they would even think to do that. What the hell are companies thinking when they make RTS games with no LAN support.
