It's out! http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/redale...%3B1&page=1

Just a moment... *browses GMC mag* I can confirm that the game is using the unreal 3 engine.

Yeah, it was me who posted that. If you need proof maybe I can upload a pic of the mag.

Yeah. But then again, they could also be mutated insects or something... We need CGI's! That's probably one of the points why renegade SP failed. They are crabs. That desert was a sea once. Didn't you notice the ships? BTW, doesn't the EA logo in the puddle at the very beginning remind you of the Renegade intro?

Did you notice the tiberium-mutated crabs?

Watched it. Doesn't show too much, but awesome nonetheless.

Nice to see I got no credit for bringing the news. Nah, just kidding. Do you think the mobile campaigns will be different from the PC ones? What missions would you like to see?

So I wasn't hallucinating: he -did- say 12 campaigns! :shock:

I'm speechless: :shock:

It doesn't crush just infantry, you know:

Lol, that was fun

Well, yes, EA ignored big parts of the TS/FS storyline. But you have to understand that it has been 7 years since TS. That's what, two, three generations of gamers? You couldn't expect EA to make a game with a storyline wich is pretty obscure for anyone except for us hardcore fans. They had to make a plot that anyone could understand, so that they could sell more. Can you really blame someone for doing his job? :roll: Now the storyline in itself was good, with quite a few twists. After all Kane losing the war intentionally just to call the Scrin to Earth was quite surprising, perhaps the biggest plot twist in C&C storyline (except for the FS final, of course). What I didn't really like was the lack of action CG clips (why did they cut the Zone trooper fmv? Why?), the unedited-ness of some FMVs, and the fact that they just split the story in two, leaving the second part for an expansion.

I'm not saying two 'rogue states' such as Iran and North Corea can't be a threat, I'm saying we're not in the middle of a freaking world war. They haven't even attacked anyone. They deserve punishment for their actions (the UN ones vs. the North Corea are good enough, IMO), but they don't deserve to be attacked unless they attack first. We're not living in a peaceful world, believing that would be very, very stupid, but thinking a third world war is about to start (if it is not already) is just as stupid. Nukes are a huge threat, but you fail to see their actual use: intimidation. No nation in the world is going to use them, and, even if really so many people in a nation were so crazy to use them (President, general, etc.) there's no way they're going to use them and make it alive. Iran and North Corea would be mass invaded and leveled to the ground. I myself would support the use of nuclear weapons in retaliation of a nuclear strike. But attacking first automatically puts you in the wrong. The only reason why the USA weren't santioned for the attack on Iraq was your veto power in the scurity council, that would have made any petition useless. You can believe anything you want, but the fact itself that you're the only nation in the world with such an approach should at least make you think twice before telling the world to 'suck off'. Until then, I guess we agree to disagree. Now, on a slight different topic: like Alphabear mentioned, the Un has proven useful in many situations (the most recent ones are the missions in Kosovo and Lebanon). Even in this moment there are various UN forces in many different countries, keeping peace. You don't know about most of them only because american soldiers are not in them (By the way, I wanted to say that your not the backbone of Un forces. The majority of the soldiers are Pakistani, Indian, etc.). It is, however, limited, and the absolutely inefficent structure of, for example, the security council has immobilized it in any situation that involved one of the major powers, the ones with the veto power. Also, any UN force has to ask the state if they want their troops, which is a bit lame if you want to free an occupated region, for example. I agree that bit should be deeply riformed and restructured, and I also think that the idea of a GDI-type force is not really far-fetched in these times.

Look at the 3-4 screenshot, behind the war factory: there's something really similar to blossom trees there. And, anyway, those screenshots are beautiful and uber-cool to say the least. (there are still some graphic bugs, tough :? )
