  1. I signed in after years to just to say thank you to you Sonic. This site serves as a great memory to a good time in my life where I sank hours into C&C. I wish you all the best and may CNCNZ march on into the future. Hopefully the sh*t heads at EA sell off the C&C IP to someone who can do something useful with this. I wish to god Nordic or Square Enix buy the rights for this franchise.
  2. I loved taking these babies down with the Aegis cruiser's manual fire mode.
  3. By guest is that if C&C is ever coming back, it'll be console focused. Hence, either a shooter or a RPG. Probably a Tiberium reboot on Frostbite.
  4. If C&C is coming back, they'll most probably do an FPS or some other game suited for consoles based on the C&C universe. I don't think we'll see a C&C RTS anytime soon.

    Now Playing - Games

    I've been playing Tropico 4 and CS:GO both bought from the awesome steam sale.
  6. Its Apocalypse tank for me.
  7. Actually no. In my region its the other way around. CnC3 is 14.99 CnC4 is 9.99

    I bought SPAZ long time ago on a steam sale and was in love with it. But the grinding part put me off a bit. I was in chapter 2 think. Should give this a retry again...your screenies made me want to play again

    Superman - Man of Steel

    This was my first Superman movie and I was having high expectations after all the reviews. The first part, although slow is kinda ok and I was hoping for a an epic Climax with some awesome battles. But in the end it was all too familiar and repetitive. The fight scenes were basically ripped from Transformers. My score would be 5.9/10.

    The Command & Conquer Name Game

    I don't know much about the model, but if the additional buyable generals have an advantage, then perhaps "Pay and Conquer" would be more appropriate
  11. Why why do you release this while I am playing CoH 2. Nevertheless I am going to give this a try. This is one of my Top 5 mods for CnC 3

    Daily C&C Trivia

    Wow...some really cool info. I didn't know most of them. Keep up the good work guys
  13. Personally I think its a bad thing cos it drives the min sys requirements up. IMO a F2P game should have a large install base to be successful and enjoyable overtime. I don't think DX11 only (FB3 DX11 only right?) is a good thing at the beginning of the C&C life cycle. On the other hand I know it would be beneficial in the future cos porting it to FB3 in the future would be more risky for EA.
  14. Mother of god...what have they done to the Helix? It looks outright ugly :S. The nuke cannon looks more like a tank in the packed mode than a heavy arty unit. I don't like the looks of those 2. I hope EA/Victory is flexible enough to change them. I am not sure whether its the nuke cannon though. The explosion on the right seems to have been caused by the deployed arty unit and its does not look like a nuke explosion.
  15. It does seem a little bit more hopeful but at best I am still cautiously optimistic and the lack of proper SP content is a real draw back to me. More than any of that the biggest worry that came to we was the inevitable always on DRM thats going to be in this (being a live service). As with Diablo 3 and the very recent SimCity I am worried. This IGN article is worth reading.
  16. I love the berkut derived jet. Credit where its due, this is turning out to be the best looking RTS in known history . Still being EA I have a feeling that they would bank on this fact alone to attract players without ever listening to the community. And now its almost confirmed right..mini campaigns. Better not have a campaign at all without a mini-campaign. (True that gens also had like only 6 missions per faction. But they were extremely varied. But this mini campaign thing sounds even less. At least lets wait n see for more details).

    What mobile device do you currently use?

    I have an xperia play running rooted ICS. Used to have a dell venue (Gorgeous phone btw) but I broke its screen. Searching hard for a screen replacement without success .

    Medal of Honor Series Comes to an End

    I think they are making way for the new respawn game (remember the original COD4 guys) . I agree with Sonic MoH reboot was pretty good and I loved its MP as well. Never got Warfighter cos my Rig does not cope well with Frostbite . I might get it for the campaing if I find it dirt cheap someday.

    Now Playing - Games

    I was very excited about ACM and then was dissapointed with reviews and from what I saw. Currently playing Titan Quest (got it from the humble THQ bundle). Clocked in more than 20 hours on the game and surprised that I am addicted to such an old game. Awesome ARPG btw.
  20. I think the biggest gripe/noise the community made after the announcement of this F2P thing and still (along with P2W) is the lack of a campaign. If they say they want to wait till ppl actually play the game and then tell them to make a campaign, its just a marketing gimmick or there are some people who don't know how to understand the community. I think its beyond what EA_Cire or Victory games, it the management at EA who just want to milk money. They are thinking that FB2 engine on a C&C game would suddenly make it appealing. People would be more than happy to pay for a well made campaign at launch. Again EA says that they listen to the community but they seem to conveniently ignore what the community wants and do whatever they want. Even if they start making a campaign after launch it would again be a rush job under a tight schedule to achieve some internal targets and I don't think it would hit the quality bar we are expecting.
  21. I see thanks for the explanation. In that sense the building interiors would be nothing more than eye candy. Well nothing to complain about but I dunno whether its something that should be marketed. The dynamic dialogue thing described has been in RTS for a long time. DoW II had this implemented pretty well IMO. I don't know what they have to brag about it.
  22. My thouhts questions, 1) I guess APA is more like China, strength in numbers. 2) I'm not sure whether this dynamically modeled interior thing would bring any gameplay changes. Would it mean that if you don't have any windows or access to a side of the building the garrisosned troops cannot fire in that direction? It would be cool if 2 competing infantry units can fight it out inside the building to capture it. If it is just eye candy, then its just for marketing. 3) Dynamic unit dialogues, can anyone explain this in detail is possible? Any ideas? I guess it means units making dialogues depending on the situation like when getting attacked or if it kills an enemy (Which is nothing new) or something I am missing. 4) No campaign (dissapointing and I made my anger known about this somewhere else on this forum) 5) "Trying to avoid P2W" thats not very confident of them are they. Its like they can't make GOOD money from this without P2W. At least trying to be honest about it 6) I think this is one place where the P2W thing comes in. If these additional generals are OP, and need grinding to unlock them without paying I'd say thats bad. 7) "Possibility to purchase cosmetics objects" absolutely no problem about it and if there are some cool camos and heck even cool voice overs it might be cool.
  23. Yes that would be the case, but if they want to bring back the community I don't think this is what they should do. Every person I talked to wants a CnC campaign because thats a major thing we are used,
  24. I thought they said they are listening to the community. It seems that they only listen to what they want to hear. The main demand from the community has been the request for a campaign. This is disappointing. On the other hand its better than ruining the game with a terrible campaign that is made with no passion just for the sake of fulfilling the "pesky community's" demands. Only thing they would even consider listenening to would be the balance changes and perhaps some unit model designs.
