Command & Conquer in 2008 - A Year in Review

[Sonic 297]

Duke has put together an article covering the Command & Conquer year that was 2008. From January to December, the release of Kane's Wrath and Red Alert 3 and more, its a trip back in time around the community and CNCNZ.com. This is our Year in Review.

 

Here's a small sample to get you started....

 

August, and the tension toward the release of RA3 was becoming stronger, so much so you could smell it in the air of forums around the community. Some even said it was so thick you could taste it. But when asked what it tasted like - few had an answer, and those that did were probably lying. Part of this tension was instigated by the release of the All Star Cast for RA3 which featured a rather funky trailer that gave us a very sweet taste of what we could expect with the live action sequences. We also found out the names of all the key actors and my oh my! I for one was rather shocked by the amount of pretty famous names that were listed. Someone also started circulating rumors about a Generals 2 game which fuelled all sorts of speculation in the forums. August finished up with a bang and a pop with the release of the official RA3 teaser trailer…. after that anyone that previously had a dry mouth was licking their lips like there was no tomorrow. There was now no going back, this was going to be awesome! Oh and if that wasn't enough, EA released for FREE DOWNLOAD, the original C&C: Red Alert game. This was pretty crazy, a fully no-strings-attached free download of the original Red Alert. Cheers EA!

Duke, that's not a nice way of thanking the Hungarian community for the RA3 info

Believe me, there are enough fans in Hungary, and lucky for us that I'm one of them
