I found generals not bad.
But it didn't really feel like a proper Command And Conquer game.

What are you talking about. The video clearly shows base building.

You know what he meant to say. Don't try and be smart.

I dont know why. but i hate 3d RTS. i just prefer the 2d rts from when i was younger. or maybe i'm just sick of the rts genre in general.
[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;18491185]Megaman 9 would like to have a word with you.[/QUOTE]
Not that it's 2D. the fact that the sprites are poorly drawn, the entire area has no perspective or direction. It all looks like a jumbled mess.
Wow this really crept up. I assumed it was still in early beta and wouldn't be out till 2011 but it's out in March.
There's definitely something about 2D that makes RTS more magical to me. I don't know, Generals was good but after that C&C sort of fell away. Tiberium Wars was alright actually but RA3 was fucking abysmal.

Same here, in my opinion they ruined Age of empires with the whole 3d approach, only "3d" rts i like is warcraft 3

I agree, IMO the 2D C&C was the best.
Why would people rate this dumb? The beta is awesome.
[QUOTE=the_shape;18486604]C&C went downhill from RA2, and this doesn't look that great either.[/QUOTE]
RA2 wasn't even made by the real Westwood, It was Westwood West, the same people who made the current "CnC" games.
Looks like shit. CnC 3 felt empty and lacked the atmosphere Tiberian Sun had. Tiberian sun felt like a chaotic dying world being over taken by this alien compound. CnC 3 was Generals with GLA Replaced by Nod and Americans with GDI.
Tiberian Sun its self suffered from EA rushing it. Tiberian Sun was not the game Westwood had in mind, in fact the final retail of the game was still using their Beta Engine and the older sprites. If EA had given them Six more months to work on it they would have been able to swap to their New Engine (The one RA2 was using), update the unit and effect sprites and fix the few hundred bugs the game had. Firestorm was originally going to be part of the game's release but had to be delayed and released as an Expansion pack.
EA seriously fucked up Westwood by throwing Constant time limits on them rather than let them work at their intended pace. The Ridiculous deadlines is what killed Westwood. Renegade was their last game, it was rushed (despite being delayed three times). The game didn't do well so EA closed Westwood and handed all their stuff over to the new EA LA.

It's sad to see the series die. Nevertheless, legacy C&C games facilitate a near endless array of playthroughs.

Hey, don't worry. although not updated the old games are pretty bugless, still fun and still work on windows 7/vista. :-)

It seems like all the old games are dying with new ones developed to appeal for the younger generation.

yeah, but you can still goto the "games in progress" and post "Play some classic CnC Tiberian sun with us" and people will play.

Which is why places like FP are needed, a beacon of hope (AKA old school PC gamers) in the midst of a sea of darkness (AKA the retarded mainstream 12 years old console/browser gamers). Well partly at least.
Hey guys , let's start a petition. Post it on Planet C&C and so on.
Basically asking EA to either hand over the rights of command and conquer to Petroglyph , or to put up the rights to C&C for sale. If you don't know , Petroglyph are the remenants of Westwood , not westwood west.
Basically , if they get their hands on it , expect to see something epic.
To me, it seriously looks like a Supreme Commander ripoff, especially with the shield looking thing... Dear god EA.

Petitions don't work
Fuck you guys, Now I want to install RA2 & Tiberian Sun again!! >:(
Cant they just use the old style base building,upgrades,sweet ass cutseens.
cut all this bull like ex,1 base unit and retarded looking monster units.
Shame C&C has to be ended on a bad note.
*sniff*
Can I still get beta access as I registered my future code just now, because I just got Red Alert 3 Premier Edition?
:ohdear:
Oh, dear.
The only thing good about this game is that they didn't [b]COMPLETELY[/b] make it like Battleforge.
Christ.
Looks like crap.
