Ok, the only reason i registered is because of the BS that mister SS is spilling allover this place.
So @ SS
Yes, its true that expectations from the CNC fans allover cant be fullfilled, everybody waited so long for the CNC universe to continue that their expectations grew high. Ok i give you that. But it sound like you work for EA advertising. What do they have ? A ****load of quantity and no substance. Do you hear of someone playng their games for decades. No! - Why. Because you dont need more than a 2 days of single player and a few weeks of multi to get bored of their games ... Now you'll probably say that from a pure technical point of view CNC aint realy that good. True its not as ballanced as it could be or as developed. But for all its lack the old stuff offers authentic atmosphere. Everybody thats is familliar with the games knows that there aint a no good alternative to mass tanks spam and rush to win ... Yeah but they keep playng their own way just because they like how it feels, how it sounds, how it looks. And the graphics is warm not some cold 3 ****. We are in the 21 century, what excuse can you find for EA to make them look good for their obvious lack of tallent. Ok they sell games. So that makes them good game makers?? Comeon even a clown with a good strategy can sell SH*T to people and still make money and fame out of it. That doesnt make him stand above the other capitalists. We are in the time that such quality 3d can be produced that you verry well may mistaken it for real video. Mind blowing audio can be made from scratch. Does it take too much to put together an exciting story line??
So here we are...
You plug and play the new cnc, nice menus and art, click on the campaign to see whatever scrap EA will trow at you to chew on, and - heey, - nice, they even hired some popular faces in the thing, and put *SOME* effort in, true that they dont look realy convincing but hey they tried GJ EA! You start, GDI aiming at crushing nod with their Kane's usual misterious plans. Later on some freaky aliens jump in protecting some unidentified tech, good!, it obviously makes you thirst more of the game on to the nod campaign. And somewhere you realize! NIIICE! Textures were realy good... Phew i would have died if this looked like Generals. Then you play a whole nod campaign just to step closer to a door and see nothing? Now you are SHOCKED!!! - But WOW! you see another campaign!! and you expect some kind of finaly -NIICE! GJ EA you added a third campaign - nice move!. And then WTF!!! 3 missions !!! and repeating scenes allover!??! No grand finally - omg they didnt even add a rokie movie in wich NOD launches a nuclear misle on GDI like in RA or one wich a few tanks blast the misile silo? Not to mention that the whole campaign movies were in tents or rooms and not a single piece of lanscape footage or 3d!And what i just lost a day playng some game thats has nothing better to offer than the obvious "wait for a sequel we may trow you a bone" ending. Come on, humanity has already produced its best ? It cant produce anything new, or greatly improve the excisting good stuff ? People are bond to the old games just because they offered them someting new + good gaming experience - fun and they will always keep that in mind long after things have evolved far ahead of the simple "tech" that amused them. There is beautifull crap to look at allover the globe. Can you blame ppl for wanting to feel excited, surprised, thrilled. Or what, you think in the pattern "Hey! - bad is actualy good since its the best on the market" get real, we are living in days in wich the market lacks fresh tallent but not like there aint tallent out there. Every chump who comes out with someting at least a BIT good gets worshiped. So hopefully we pray for someone with cash and tallent to come forth with some game thats worth more than a little while. And im not even going tru the dozzens of lame mistakes EA made in TW. If someone has playd SKIRMISH on ANY old CNC game and aint a retard will notice the things lacking to be added in the next, but they didnt even do that. They probably were too busy directing the pathetic screen play to think of anything, not to mention USING at LEAST a BIT designed font for announcing the scene rather than WHITE BOLD text that even looks worse than a system font. And what every body is soposed t feel "UBER COOL 1337" about TW ?! You shurely need to examine you grasp of reality if you think so.
