Greetings Generals! We are pleased to announce that statistics recording and, for the very first time in the games' histories, automatic 1v1 ranked ladders have been enabled for Command and Conquer Generals and Zero Hour on C&C:Online.

Statistics are now being recorded and display to players in each game as they did under GameSpy. Those statistics, along with a live display of 1vs1 ladder standings are available on Shatabrick. There are plans to display the ladders and statistics on other sites, including the C&C:Online web site and on GameReplays. Presently, ladders and statistics are available only to GenTool users. Statistics recording (but not ladder access) may be made available to non-Gentool users in the future.

The ladders in both games are operating a simplified Elo system, where a variable number of points are awarded or deducted for a win or a loss, based on the number of points held by each player. Presently, thirty three points are awarded or deducted for a win or loss between players holding an equal number of points, varying between a minimum of five points and a maximum of sixty points, depending on the points difference between the players.

In Zero Hour, the ladder is presently restricted to 1vs1 games played on the official 1vs1 maps, although we intend to extend the map pool in the near future in consultation with players. There are currently no restrictions on the maps which may be played in Generals.

For the future, there are plans to add a 2vs2 ladder, a clan ladder and match histories.

Unsuspecting players have been competing on the ladders for the last few days now but we'll be resetting the ladders in both games on 14 September so players have a fresh chance to scrabble to the top by the end of the month. After that, we'll be resetting the ladders monthly and will be looking at holding a competition for the top ladder players at the end of each month.

So Generals, watch out for the reset and get ranking!

We all love our custom maps and some of us have made a playing career out of them. Now Commanders, Comrades, Ladies and Gentlemen, I am pleased to announce that automatic custom map transfer between players has been enabled for Command and Conquer Tiberium Wars, Kane's Wrath and Red Alert 3 on C&C:Online.

You can now share and play all of your favourite custom and party maps with your friends online, just like you did under GameSpy. There are no instructions to follow; if you have the map when you host a game, it will be shared with the other players automatically at the start of the game.

 

There are some great custom maps out there, with more on the way, so enjoy!

Greetings, commanders and comrades! I am pleased to announce that statistics recording and automatic 1v1 and 2v2 ranked ladders have been enabled for Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath and Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 on C&C:Online with the launcher update 2.0.6.

Statistics are now being recorded and display to players in each game. Those statistics, along with a live display of 1v1 and 2v2 ladder standings are available on Shatabrick/cco. There are plans to display the ladders and statistics on other sites, including the C&C:Online website and here on GameReplays. In line with that, further functionality has been added to Shatabrick to allow you to look up all C&C:Online player accounts and statistics.

The ladders operate a simplified Elo system, where a variable number of points are awarded or deducted for a win or a loss, based on the number of points held by each player or team. That system can be adjusted in future to suit the needs of each game.

Please note: Matches will not be treated as ranked and may not record statistics at all unless all of the players in the game have the updated launcher (2.0.6) installed. Having observers in the game that do not have that launcher installed may effect reporting too. You can tell whether one of the players or observers in the game does not have the launcher installed if you get a "stats" error ("Problems connecting to the stats server. Match results may not be reported") at the start of the match. That is why it is vital that everybody upgrades. In future, players without that launcher may not be able to get online at all. Upgrade now!

At present, only certain maps will rank (whether or not they are shown as ranked). There is a list of the maps that will rank and further information in the discussion topic for each game.

Comrades and Commanders, please don't forget that C&C:Online is provided to you free of charge but donations are appreciated and needed. All donations go towards server costs and improving infrastructure. You can donate on the C&C:Online web site or from the launcher.

As a final note, we invite you to follow the official C&C:Online Facebook page for updates, announcements, news and the obligatory liking, sharing and commenting.

It is time, commanders and comrades, to wipe the dust off your game copies and get ranking!

Due to several limitations, Red Alert 3 now has a separate map pack for ranked maps until quickmatch is enabled again (as quickmatch was the only way to play ranked RA3 matches on GameSpy).

 

Get it here.

 

 

EDIT: Sybert is at it again!
