    Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

    After making me think they knew what the series was about with Red Alert 3, they went and bastardized the series with C&C 4... Please stop touching my favorite series in the no-no spot EA ;_;

    geeze they going to butcher another C&C, like what they did to C&C4, it survived for 12 min = 3 min installation, 2 min intro, 5 min game play, 2 min uninstall

    Maybe, just maybe this won't be a going through the motions milking of the cash cow...

    Man, I miss Westwood.

    Why cant they just leave well enough alone!

    Seriously this 'run franchises into the ground' business policy Ea, and ActivisionBlizzard have got going is ridiculous.

    Yes. It was crap. Didn't even have the same game mechanics of any other C&C game. No base building, no resource collecting, no tech tree.

    Question is, will anyone buy it? Magic 8 ball says "this is unlikely"

    I've bought every iteration so far, might as well go for broke!

    Bought every C&C game thusfar (some of them twice thanks to the Decade box set). After the fiasco that was 4, however, I might have to pass on this one :(

    They need to return the mechanics of the game back to something closer to 3. If it's anything like the cluster that was 4, I won't bother buying it.

    3? No, sir they need to return to the mechanics of Tiberium Sun and Red Alert 2. From the WestWood days.

    How can the even make another game from the Tiberium franchise anyway? They killed off Kane.

    Maybe it's going to be a Red Alert 4? They haven't completely effed that line up yet.

    Well, it's C&C Generals 2.
  • BasilBasil Nubcaek England Icrontian
    edited December 2011
    I'm actually OK with this.

    Generals was a competent RTS and if a sequel keeps EA from their pathetic attempts to milk the franchise proper so much the better

    ugh... this is the last straw. I'm giving up on the C&C series until such a time that EA either sells it to a competent game company or they prove they can go back to C&C's roots.

    I liked Generals, but wasn't it poorly received overall? I seem to remember most people disliking it.

    IIRC, it was their first step away from the 'traditional' Westwood-styled C&C that had everyone so pissed off.

    Personally, I wasn't a huge fan of it, I had both Generals and the Zero Hour expansion and I can't honestly say I remember damn thing about either outside of general dislike for both.

    Generals was the only C&C game I really got a lot of enjoyment out of.

    This is the real issue. It wasn't a terrible RTS game, but it wasn't a Command & Conquer game. It's the same problem they had with C&C4, they took a game that has a ravenous fanbase (myself included) and gave them a game that wasn't what they wanted.

    And now to piss on the wound; "EA Announces Command & Conquer Tiberium Alliances".

    A free-to-play, browser/mobile based, MMO in the Command & Conquer Tiberium Wars universe.

    Presumably that's the only genre left for a half assed spinoff since Renegade went down like a fart in a lift.

    hahahahha, oh man i forgot about Renegade, Now *that* was bad...
  • ardichokeardichoke Icrontian

    Hey... I LIKED Renegade. It was campy, cheesy, loyal to the C&C universe and FUN. The critics and fans tend to agree: http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/command-conquer-renegade

    Of course, that game was actually made by Westwood which helped, even if they were owned by EA at the time.
