This Tiberian Twilight crap we keep getting is driving me up the wall now. So many times has little timmy called "wolf!" and we've come running, only to be disappointed, well to be honest this latest story I'm did not wanna know when I read it... I'm sick of the C&C 3 hype, and I don't care now! When it's official, when it's definate, once it's physically on the eagames.com web page will I even begin to open my eyes to this game now. Until that day comes I will not breathe an air of excitement, or even show interest in C&C 3. I'm not interested in C&C 3 until then, and not a second before! So what do you guys think... now that's off my chest :roll:

ta... just reinstalling RenAlert Now... But in future, I'll just have to make sure people know that I can p0wn them with my V2 :roll:

Yeah well, I'm not exactly in the position to rejoin now I've gotta crank out a 343+ MB download now cos I uninstalled it and there are no installation back-ups on my hard drive due to space... But I Have braodband, it'll only take 2 hours.. lol If I knew how I inflicted that damage on you I would of told ya, but so many people say not to answer you back, so I take heed on their advice... I get angered too damn easily... I'm sorry, for that.... I just don't like to be accused of cheating... I've played Renegade for too damn long to cheat, and I'm good enough in my opinion without all that crap that goes on. The V2 is my favourite weapon, I use it well and know how to catch people out with it... fact is that guy who said I shot hime with one shot did not notice that I and another team mate got him with 2 rockets fired almost at the same time... All I'll say is this, I play for fun, and to enjoy this game you've made, not to create havoc and ruin people's fun, you know I'm better than that... If I did cheat then I would of p0wned you in Fissure for sure... My language was inexcusable, yes, but when I use a V2 in future, let everybody know, I'm just good at using it :wink:

I left in a state of anger cos everyone thought I was cheating, when the map was over I came back in and thought OK, I'll give this another go.. I never realised it was a sign of cheating.. OK I caught you just inside the V2's firing range, it was a lucky shot!

It was ACK, I'm sorry, but if this fued between me & him continues then one of us will have to leave the community for good. If Renguard was on that server it wouldn't of made any difference... I'm sick of this I really am, I'm here to enjoy myself, work for this community and play the games I love, but I can't even do that anymore it seems :cry:

I'm beginning to question the flaming forum, with the abusive language and the flaming of hosts as well as god knows what else. It is beginning to get beyond a joke in there. I will admit I've given my fair share of flaming, but I've only just began to get like those that post in there. It becomes addictive, and is the single most mad area that's really beginning to make me wonder if such a public web-site as this should sport such profanity. So as a moderator I'm taking this action... All flaming topics are now locked until further notice!!! If Sonic deems my actions a just cause then this forum will either be locked till further notice, or deleted altogether... cos I for one am sick of this forum being here. We never used to have it, why should we have it here now!? :roll:

Bases can get cramped, but at the same time they have the potential to get really damn huge. I've never really noticed, because the way I build my bases all the buildings are quite cluttered anyway. But at least they are tidy... Even if perimeter isn't good in many people's eyes, there hasn't been an RTS released in the last few years that come even close to being as good. Maybe Ground control 2 is an exception, but in terms of the base building fandango, Perimeter is the only decent one out there at the moment for me... it is a system hogger, but all the games of late have taken a huge leap with the specs, so it doesn't suprise me at all.

Papa Roach Lyics - Infest - Track 5 - Between Angels and Insects If anyone ever has a job they hate, or whatever remember those words... They ring so true, as is life. Money (if not treated correctly) makes you become a machine, you end up buying stuff you don't need and it becomes an obsession... I've found that out the hard way.. one tip from me, when you get older... don't get a credit card :wink:

and the tacitus

My joke was terrible.. Problem with me I have more splits than a banana skin when it comes to personality. When I first joined CNCNZ I was a nutcase with a strange sense of humour. 4 years on I'm more mature in my approach, but the nutcase inside me still exists. Moving to the cnc-boards has given me an insight into how other forums are run. The different people who are there and how they differ to other people. And best of all, it's another one of those rare forums where flaming doesn't exist. When you look at that non-existant happening, the forums seem brighter and much more lively... which is one of the reasons I decided that the flamers forum should go.

True considering that few of us may have the latest graphics cards, or only run at an 800 x 600 resolution. I run at 1024 x 768 and that's fine for me. But naturally if you are a whizz in photoshop or you do have a place in your heart for media editing and creation then 1280 x 1024 is the minimum you have it in... That's the maximum my card can crank up to, but I dunno if my 17 inch monitor would be able to handle the resolution without damage or whatever, and frankly I'm not taking the chance :wink:

The reason why they put the images there were for Market research puposes. Perhaps the strangest way I've ever seen it done, but that undoubtably and immediately told EA that yes, C&C 3 is something everybody wants... The thing that made me laugh though is that the EA team that work on the Need for speed underground game actually asked the consumers what they wanted for number 2. Based on what the first Underground title didn't have... Now there's number 2 streamlined massively. 200 square km of city instead of 14km of road, which is all free roaming. The ability to tune the parts on your car to give the car an edge, the ability to add varying setups ICE (In Car Entertainment) and different capacities of Nitrous Oxide.. that, plus loads more...it's all in there!! And all possible by feedback from the normal everyday people who play the game on their home PCs and consoles. Now if the C&C team actually did that for C&C, then I believe that in the future C&C could become RTS king again for many many years to come. I don't mean just sales wise, but also a king in the eyes of games reviewers, C&C fans, and the really heavy and demanding RTS players. Basically, it's the path to creating the full and flawless package. It is something that codemasters did on the RTS game "Perimeter". They spoke to the public, the RTS junkies out there and asked them "What do you want in an RTS?" And the answers that stuck out really strongly were: # In depth RTS, no simple C&C run em' and gun em' tactics, real strategy with no comprimise" 27 scenario driven missions, 28 morph-able units, 24 structure types, 30 single player maps, 6 multiplayer maps, 3 unique factions # Territory control - War is all about territory and gaining it inch for inch. - Therefore the resource management in perimeter relies on energy. Energy extracted from the terraformed planets surface constantly powers the players units, buildings and force shield. Thus even squads operating far from the players base depend on their energy network. Without power buildings and bases are susceptible to capture which can turn a game in seconds. Constant energy management is vital to success. # Proper terrain structure - For the first time in RTS history the player by strategically manipulating the environment can extract energy, expand their base, increase their territory and limit their opponents options. The condition of the landscape can be changed completely by a number of influences including special units, explosions and natural geological processes. # Less of the tank churning factories - Units can be transformed into different units on the battlefield, giving the player powerful tactical opportunities to adapt combat units to a particular situation. Not all unit’s will be effective in all situations and base unit’s must be built tactically, either to focus on a sole function or to be adaptable. # A decent game engine capable of manipulating over 1 million polys per second. # And a decent storyline which I won't bother you with. But To cut the long story short, Perimeter is what the RTS junkies have been crying out for.... it's not a massive pick up and play game which C&C is... but when you focus on peoples needs and wants alot of the more hardcore RTS gamers out there want a game that has to be knuckled down to... That's why I like Earth 2150 and Imperium Galactica 2... and especially Perimeter... They are just not pick up and play game and most of all they require more than just basic strategy, they require more intensive strategy, no tank rushes, no defending until the money builds up just to do that... I love loads of buttons to press, I love having a console on the screen that allows for every concievable option available because the game has complexity... Sure BfME is quite the opposite in terms of it's interface (even though it hardly has a visible one, but I believe that there's strategy in the gameplay... it may be proved wrong... But an RTS that lives up to its name is one that undoubtably gets the views of the RTS gamer puts it in as promised, and is complex, and allows for tru and pure strategy. It is the reason I think that if C&C continues down the path of it's debut title with the simplicity. Then decides to shun the feedback of the General Public that will make it an average and unexciting game in the future. Since 1995 all we have seen is the same old concept over and over again. And that's why other RTS games will continue to surpass it. Purely because C&C is in my opinion no longer fresh, new, exciting and allows for little or if any complex strategy whatsoever. Thus is the reason why a huge handful of the community have got bored with it and uninstalled the game, moved onto mods, or bought better and more interesting RTS games for some excitment elsewhere.

May I suggest a Games or Jokes forum like at cnc-boards to replace the flamers forum. At least it's a little more light hearted and at least in my opinion, is what constitutes as fun.

turn into reliable

Soon they began

Lets stop those Irish Jibes guys, my family and all my roots come from Ireland... You only have to type that word and I know what the meaning behind it is.. And I do find that highly insulting.... So less of that please, keep it for the flaming forums :!: Anyway This topic isn't getting anywhere now other than bibble babble, and I'm not happy about previous comments so consider this topic closed.

I removed the links for other forums members safety. Can't have people trying them out, as someone probably will before reading the whole thread.. so bye bye to those..

Someone hasn't been listening in their Geography lessons... Grab an atlas, go to the library, even look here on the net... you'll be proved wrong you know.... very wrong.... yes that's right, wrong... :lol: See it's part of Greece, now I suggest you write 100 lines saying... "Crete is not a country, it is a part of Greece, it is an Island, and it is the biggest Greek Isle. I was Wrong, very wrong, and I do apologise for any inconvinience it may have caused to any of my fellow forum members, because after all they are great people. I have degraded myself, yes, yes, yes. I was wrong you know.... very wrong.... yes that's right, wrong..." :lol: And don't you go writing it in the forums otherwise I'll p0wn ya! :wink:

stories like this

any work whatsoever

1) Jason your banner is too large just make it smaller so the horizontal sidebar doesn't show up. It distorts the size of the forum and makes it notoriously annoying to read. 2) When applying for this space Afron2 you never said anything to me about hosting other sites or making abumm into other sites. You have not cleared this with me before going ahead. Remember Sonic owns this domain so what he says goes as far as the CNCNZ.com network goes. I have been put in charge of overseeing Abumm just like Sonic oversee's other sites with their webmasters. If Fist Of Fate is run by a different webmaster and a different team of staff, and you are trying to find them space just like I found you space, then Myself nor Sonic will allow it. It is a direct breech of our Hosting Terms and conditions and we will delete fist of Fate if we see it on the abumm server. That goes for any other site you try to direct to host.. Doing this could or will cause termination of the Abumm domain, so you have been warned!! All sites that want hosting, need to fill out an application form and send it to Sonic for consideration. NO EXCEPTIONS!!! 3) You say REBORN!!!??? Reborn as in C&C: Renegade Reborn!!??? I certainly hope not! I don;t want that pile of trash on our servers thank you. 4) Just remember if you want anything done to the forums then you ask Sonic directly through PM, not me, I may have power over the Abumm forums, but not full administration access! 5) That is all!!

As far as mods & total conversions go do you think that Renegade Alert is the best? Afterall lets consider that even though Counterstrike should take the crown.. it doesn't offer loads of maps, units, things to do etc. There's more to do than just deathmatch as well! Plus consider the fact that if you are the 1st to get killed you aint sitting around with nothing to do for 5 minutes, while you wait for the round to finish. Straight back into the action, and fragging and blowing more crap out of the opposition than ever before! And with the possibility of a Single Player mode heading our way, this game aint stopping in it's tracks yet!

It's all to do with sales, profits and target marketing. Basically if EA were to announce C&C 3 tomorrow say, it could directly affect LOTR: BFME sales wise... Some potential consumers would think "we'll wait for this C&C instead of buying BFME." The next C&C will cause a storm, it will knock all attention away from their current product, and then EA will have a problem on their hands... This disasterous "Marketing Shift" would have people in the Marketing department sacked on the spot. BFME is aimed at 3 main types of consumers. The LOTR fans, RTS gamers, and EA's large community of C&C enthusiasts and fans. EA's marketing goal is to attract the first 2 groups of people, but also say that, to the C&C fans, This is what we would or could do with a future C&C game. They see it as a "Try it, buy it, if it sells well then C&C will follow the interface, game engine etc.." However if it's a mild success they will basically head back to the drawing board, and we could be stuck here at least by Early 2006 before the next C&C comes out. That's the reason Sonic they can't just say "Yes, C&C 3 is in development." I knew my business studies qualifications would come in handy some day :wink:
