  3. It's not much. But keep in mind this is a small-ish game, and it's on mobile as well, so they have to keep the filesize reasonable. Thanks for the YouTube link, just added it to the post
  4. As the first voting phase for ModDB's Mod of the Year is approaching its end, here's most of the recent mod updates we've had from the community: The Second Tiberium War standalone TS mod will receive campaign missions, with the first GDI one having already been shown. It will also have a full Navy for both GDI and Nod, as well as improved urban and rural and props and tiles, including docks. GDI will also receive a Command Center structure. World Axletree, a YR mod, has a new GIF of a new support power in action, as well as new buildings. Combined Arms' developer has shown new Soviet units and changes, including the new Frogfoot. Red Alert History's next release will feature another set of new units and buildings that have been revealed recently, mostly all of them from RA2: The Allied Refinery & Ore Truck, The Soviet Refinery, The Soviet War Miner, The Soviet V3 Launcher, The Allied Prism Tank, The Soviet Tesla Tank, The Allied Grand Cannon and finally, the Soviet War Factory. Tiberian Sun Rising has released a new article showcasing Mutated Tiberium wildlife in the C&C3 engine, as well as Drop Pods and The Fist of Nod. C&C Generals: Frontlines' version 0.3 has been released. It notably includes a new unit for General Leang, the Skunk AFV. You can download it here. Mental Omega's Foehn faction will receive a new unit: The Orcinus. CnC Final War's version 1.0b is now live, which includes many new features, such as updated Empire Buildings, a robotic miner, new buildings for the Legion faction and much more. You can read the full developer blog here, which details all the changes. YR Red Resurrection patch 2.2.10 is now available, bringing with it some changes to the European faction as well as teasing future campaign missions. You can download the patch here and read the 2.2.10 release blog update here. Finally, you can read a retrospective blog post from OmegaBolt, detailing how the mod has evolved over the past 8 years and how it will evolve from here on, as well. One Vision has just released new details in a short blog post about its upcoming 0.92 update, which features mostly updates to some subfactions' unit upgrades, as well as showing recharge times for support powers. Tiberium Essence: In a surprise update that came seemingly out of nowhere, Carnius has just revealed yesterday that he will release the 2.0 Alpha version of Tiberium Essence sometime before Christmas Day, an update which will include The Forgotten as a new, fully-playable faction.
  5. Check this out, Tchutch from CNCSaga made this really cool-looking hybrid C&C/RA Remastered box art: Amazing stuff!
  6. Here's a set of new developments all throughout the community in the recent days: VG247 has revealed that Warren Spector, creator of Deus Ex, has worked on a first-person Command & Conquer RPG game that was cancelled by EA, adding that it would've taken a lot of inspiration from Deus Ex. No further information was given on this cancelled project. Deep Impact, a total conversion mod for Zero Hour, has been cancelled by its team, No Life Studios. The latest beta build of the mod was released "as-is" and can be downloaded here. The Second Tiberium War mod has been updated to version 2.0, which can now be downloaded. It replaces several units from its older versions and from Tiberian Sun, as well. Eternal Cronus, a new total conversion for Yuri's Revenge set in an alternate Red Alert future, has released its first in-game shots of structures from one of its new factions. A Generals-based total conversion mod for C&C3, aptly titled "Generals", has released in-game footage as well as in-game screenshots. CnC: Final War, a well-known Yuri's Revenge mod which has just recently been released, has new screenshots, showcasing the return of Soviet Service Depots, a new EuroCoal unit and the new Allied Navy, all of which will be a part of patch 1.0b. C&C Generals: Frontlines, a small mod for Zero Hour, has received an alpha release. Star Wars: Command & Conquer - Tiberium Empire, is a total conversion for C&C3 that was announced last month. Aside from having a long name, it brings about most of the well-known factions from the prequel and original Star Wars trilogy into C&C3, by altering the lore so that Tiberium makes its apperance in the Star Wars universe. Its sole developer, Quinn-G, is already showcasing progress on the mod. Project Tomahawk:Storm, a mod for classic C&C Generals rather than Zero Hour, has just been updated to version 1.1. You can also browse the mod's gallery for in-game screenshots of the latest version. Kane's Wrath Unofficial Big Bang patch 1.04, a Kane's Wrath mod, the Wolverine has just received a graphical upgrade and GDI will now have a Field Trooper Drop Pod support power. Madin, the developer of the C&C: Red Alert History mod for C&C3, has shown several new additions for Release 7 of his mod, with more on the way in the coming days. Shown so far are the Airforce Command, Harrier, Mirage Tank, Soviet Multi-Drone, Mammoth Tank and Ore Trucks. The Doom Desire total conversion mod for Yuri's Revenge has had 2 new structures revealed for its Essence Faction: The Aural Resonator and The Assembly Plant.
  7. Hey everyone, as some of you might remember, I made a poll a little over a month ago, asking about what you'd like to see in a C&C Remaster. Here are the results: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1ObZyd6en25oPNWhgaRskFTyK5h080ibejCOqG-FeNCc/viewanalytics https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/128Q2r_EhTpvyf3tbwz7d46T5jvm1IxSLPwsnDqb9yvQ/edit?usp=sharing
  8. Despite controversy among the community, C&C Rivals continues development. Here's what's been happening on that front. EA has been releasing a series of Tips & Tricks videos on the game, titled "Commanders Training Videos" with the help of Rivals community members and players. On the road to Worldwide Launch, Rivals has now become available in several countries, having been just released in Canada. It is also now available on both iOS (through the App Store) and Android platforms (Google Play). Player Profiles and Leagues have been introduced to the game. This includes a World Map showcasing player league progression. Bounties and Fuel, which constitute part of the game's free progression rewards, have received an upheaval. New Units (August): The Juggernaut (GDI) and Giga-Cannon (Nod) have been released. New Units (September): The A.P.C. (GDI) and Phantom (Nod) have been released . New Units (Early October): The Shockwave Trooper (GDI) and Tick Tank (Nod) have been released. New Units (Late October): The Drone Swarm (GDI) and Chem. Buggy (Nod) have been released. New Units (November): The War Dogs (GDI) and Widowmaker (Nod) have been released. A competitive mode, titled "Rivals Champions" has been announced. An official Worldwide Launch date was announced: December 4th, 2018. Update 1.1. was released in early October, bringing with it many balance, monetization & map changes, a slew of new units, as well as replacing Sectors with Leagues & Divisions and adding in the Rivals Fairplay mode. Update 1.2 has been released this week, adding in the War Dogs & Widowmaker units, the Rivals Champions mode, as well as bringing substantial changes to maps, player leveling & progression, unit unlocking, crates, economy & monetization. A Rivals Commander Training video has revealed a new GDI infantry unit, which appears to be some sort of "Machine Gun Team". The Canadian iOS App Store page has brand new screenshots of the game, showcasing what is possibly the next two units to be released in the game: The Orca Bomber (GDI) and The Avatar (Nod). Update 1.2 has brought in a small, yet ominous easter egg on the World Map in the Tiberium League locale, in the form of the crashed Scrin Ship from Tiberian Sun. It is present on the top right, when scrolling off the map, seemingly encased in ice. That's all for now, Commanders.
  9. Exactly, I don't get it, either, it's super-confusing. It sounds pretty much like this game was in early to late "beta". I think pre-alpha is supposed to be that the game is being worked on but isn't entirely playable. Alpha is like playable but not feature-complete? IDK, I feel like they add new terms for no reason whatsoever...
  10. Yeah, this game is not ready for launch IMHO.
  11. Ever since EA announced that they will remaster a classic C&C title and wanted to ask the community what we wanted, I figured I'd make a short poll... So here it is: What should the next C&C Remaster/Remake/New Game for PC be? https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdjX4CmHrG8kTqrm0Tkb0J5lvAjq_xq1WibmtTfdC9_lRKeyA/viewform I reckon that I listened to people left and right, and I made it late in the morning, so please let me know if it needs any changes.
  12. In an ironic twist of fate: http://ca.ign.com/articles/2018/08/14/ea-chief-design-officer-patrick-soderlund-leaves-company I think it was Andrew Wilson that wanted to continue in the usual EA direction and Patrick Soderlund disagreed, thus leaving. The "People make a mistake of saying 'this is what you really want'", I feel, is just him repeating Wilson's wording and having to defend his company's line, which has been mistakingly attributed to him (He does say "For us" before spewing out that line). The line was also cut out from the rest of his sentence, thus removing the appropriate context. It's possible the person who wrote the article did that on purpose, to make it seem like Patrick and EA think we're idiots. It's just too vague and lacking enough context to be sure of Patrick's original intentions when he said that. It's possible the sentence was also deformed and the wording changed. We have no transcript to prove those are Patrick's exact words. I really suspect he was just spewing out what Wilson and the staff in charge of EA (and/or the biggest investors) wanted him to. It also explains why Wilson stated they wanted to continue Lootboxes when Soderlund seemed to imply that they weren't going to or that it wasn't a good decision to continue in that manner. Look at the official statement, too: "Today we are announcing that Patrick Söderlund has made the decision to move on from EA." Interesting wording, no? He made the decision himself, he wasn't fired. "Move on", I don't know what to say, except that it doesn't sound happy. It sounds like they're implying something negative, that they're unhappy with him leaving or as if he disagreed with them and that's why he left, instead of staying and getting into a conflict. They do pick up the pace afterwards in the press release, however...
  13. For those of you looking forward to this game, feel free to complete this short survey to help drive future content for the game! Which Commanders & Units do you want to see next in C&C Rivals? Do you have any original ideas for Commander & Unit mechanics, as well? Let us know! Survey link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScHITLjJBPXg3rD4iZJGxfIbJO41fKU_xE6BBvla4viTwxBLg/viewform P.S. - Before anyone asks, no, I do not work for EA, nor is it my intention to pretend that I am.
  14. I wouldn't say that's confirmation we'll hear news next month... However, I do believe we'll know exactly what this game is, by Gamescom 2019. The thing that makes most sense to me, that seems most likely, is that they'll announce a Red Alert 4 either at Gamescom this year or at E3 next year. RA4 would line up perfectly with what Greg and Frank Klepacki have been saying so far. Lots of References to Hell March (Greg said on Twitter that he was listening to HM while at the new studio, I think?) and Red Alert, and we've already gone through C&C4 and Generals 2, all that's missing is RA4. Not to mention that supposed EA-sanctioned RA Online game.
  15. EA logo was added at the bottom left of the webpage: http://hongjing.qq.com/ Safe to say...It's legit.
  16. Oh, all right. I just can't read Chinese and didn't bother to translate, so yeah... x) But I did see a fake/clone which had "Westwood / EA" in its title and description.
  17. Not sure if legit. Lookie here: Same art, different game. RA2 mobile clones are ridonkulously popular in China. http://shouyou.3dmgame.com/ios/8877.html Look at all the games with Soviet logos at the bottom of the page. Yep, all clones. Yuri clones. LOL And I recognize the interface from a non-EA mobile game.
  18. Good news, everyone! Raw Sauce, No ketchup: Hopefully it's a fake and it stays a rumor, but I have a feeling it's legit.
  19. Can't say more other than this person: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1589022/ ...Is also interested in the project, and this project is something she's familiar with. So...2+2=4. Quick mafs. You know what this could mean. If C&C is back, I'll definitely come back to help you guys run the website and moderate the forums. I'll be glad to help with video & audio content as well, if necessary, including streaming and what not.
  20. I can confirm that this is definitely Jon LeMaitre, AKA AGMLauncher. I recognize his writing style and how his post is not concise. He goes a lot into details and adds a bit of his opinion, as well. I bet if you asked him "can you keep only the important information and cut the rest?", his answer would be "All of it is important information!" - I recall former EALA/VG employees and I saying the same thing, but ultimately agreeing that his points and expertise were golden and on-point. He often sounds harsher in his posts than he really is (notably on the "no campaign" comments someone mentioned, and the criticism about the game's heavy art focus, which he made here), he's just a really expressive guy. Met him IRL and found he's a pretty swell guy. For what it's worth, I agree with many of his points. Many of the EA/VG employees I talked to said almost the exact same things (albeit in a more neutral manner). The "siloed development" point he made was absolutely true, and he wasn't the only one that told me this. I can also firsthand attest to the fact that JVC was a huge StarCraft fan and wanted to burrow many ideas and concepts from that game. But then again, StarCraft 2 did take many concepts from C&C Generals and Zero Hour, as well (Dustin Browder worked at EALA/EAP before moving to Blizzard, by the way). I personally firsthand tried the builds that AGMLauncher and compared with the actual VG beta/alpha builds, his felt a lot more right and C&Cish. By the way, if you couldn't tell, his criticism of the dumbed down multiplayer with only a few units per general also applies to StarCraft 2's Co-Op mode, given as that was a direct continuation of the work done on this game. Tim Morten moved to SC2 after Generals 2 was cancelled. He oversaw development of that game mode.

    C&C Renegade II On UDK Engine

    You guys should contact the RenX mod team. Perhaps they'll share the FPS/coding/programming/scripting work they've already done with you, that should simplify a lot of the work.
