C&C to Return

[kerbyross]

I know what they need to do ..
Make it a challenge again .. make it hard to mine resources , make it more realistic in terms of unit sizes , how can a man be a big as a tank ? Ive played C&C since its west wood glory days , where missions were often hard and required just the correct balance of guarding harvesters and base defence while trying to spend money wisely and upgrade a tech tree.
Dont take the fun out of it by letting people build units fast and furious in single player , its ment to be joyed and be a challange,
who doesnt remember Dark Reign , where your missions were to gather X amount of water before a mission is complete , how hard it was , how much fun it was .

I wish westwood studios wasnt bought out by EA and had their brain child butchered to death.

Also there where always two ways to approach a mission. Always a weak point.

I like the mk 2. If anything lucas stole that idea from tib sun.

I preferred the standard Mammoth the one from Tiberian Sun was a bit to AT&T ;-) while I do agree some of the weapons in 2 are surprisingly more effective then the ones in 3, like what happened to burrowing APC's and firetanks?

It tried to be like the original cnc.

Ah then it failed, have you guys replayed the originals since they became free? Wow you can't go back the cut scenes are horrendous. Though there are fond memories of Northern Exposure on the TV and me sitting in December of 96 play Red Alert

I prefer the older cutscenes. Tib sun had the best ones. And I own all the cnc games
The older ones had more charm than the new ones.

my fave tactic to use with the firestorm expansion was 2 wolverines for each titan and 1 juggernaut for each titan.

micro was murder as you had to manually deploy the juggy's but heck it worked a treat, and they were back up with a good amount of hover mlrs unit's aa duty

very hard to beat that assault

New studio. New managers. New fuckups.

What was it like on Console? Saw it for Xbox but has never been keen on strategy games on consoles.

Well. If they are serious about going back to the CnC universe I would advise them to just go on a new story board and new arc.

Don't try to re-hash the old story line (even though it was pretty damn good).

Also as stated numerous times already - please go back to the tried, tested and loves RTS gaming mechanic. It works!
