What has got Raj Joshi so excited? Could it be the next episode of BattleCast Primetime that is coming your way this weekend on the Official C&C Site. Apparently Raj will once again try to spill the beans about a top secret project.

".....the future of RTS..."

 

hmmm i am wondering if they are going to leave anything to "leak" in this new BSPT.

 

well 2 days left, lets wait and see

[Malevolence 6]

Finally its bout time for some updates!

 

*cross fingers and prays hard its not a future MMORTS.*

Maybe Raj Joshi's excited about C&C4, since he's the one mumbling about his own new game with foundries and fanaticism mentioned in the old episodes of BCPT. But what about Generals 2? Has EALA forgotten about that?

You know that was just Raj joking about the foundries thing for entertainment value right. And can how EALA have forgotten about Generals 2, there is no such game, nothing was announce so it doesn't exist.

[Gben 20]

Based on the trailer, I expect that Raj will not spill the beans!

But isn't there a news that Generals 2 website is registered by EA?

[Sonic 295]

Yes its true that EA own generals2.com but they registered that ages ago. Just because the have the domain doesn't mean there will be a game.

[Inferno 22]

Yeah but that doesn't say anything malevolence

[Malevolence 6]

Actually the point for bringing that up was to in regards to the statement on "EALA have forgotten about Generals 2".

 

I'm sure that they had thoughts of Gen2 once in a while.

I have a theory that its gonna be a second red alert 3 expansion. here's why:

1. they made a competition asking for suggestions on yuriko omega powers - could it be another yuriko omega campaign?

2. the commandandconquer.com red alert 3 page where they have all the bios for each unit. they haven't released all of them. in fact when uprising was being released, they started to release the bios of the other normal red alert 3 units.

3. uprising is left kinda hanging in terms of storyline. it wasn't really finished.

4. all those units that were released in uprising, non of them save the archer maiden, desolator and the mortar cycle are multiplayer usable in terms of balance and what not, esp the harbinger, giga fortress and future tank. it seems a shame to put all that effort into making those units and we the fans can't use them to kick our friends asses on multiplayer.

so, what do you guys think?

[Inferno 22]

Yeah that's what I was thinking too. However, I would consider the mortar cycle to be slightly OP, especially for its cost. That and the Grinder and Steel Ronin can be usuable in MP as well with a few adjustments.

I think all the units can be fitted into the multiplayer aspect of the game, the harbinger and giga fortress have to be nerfed. increase the mortar cycles range but reduce its damage. leave the steel ronin, desolator, and archer alone. reduce the power of the future tanks riot beam by half. reduce the grinder's back armor a little. the reaper's proto leap... change it. if it misses, it doesn't get to keep its legs. this will encourage commanders not to miss. love the cryo legionnaire but it must be nerfed a little. and my absolute fav unit the pacifier needs a damage nerfing, a rate of fire slight increase... it packs to much of a punch and for me has left the athena cannon completely obsolete except when hitting precise targets.

i can only hope its a second red alert 3 expansion. and it would be cool to see a fourth faction emerge. some kind of global terrorist organization in the same vein of nod but not quite.

There are some units seemed kinda out of place or simply cannot fit into MP. Say for example, as much as I love the Soviet Reaper experimental unit, it's a Hammer+Sickle+Bullfrog (anti-armor anti-infantry anti-air) combo, having this unit in MP may result in players favoring the Reaper option instead of the Hammer, Sickles and Bullfrog combos. There's another unit Futuretech's/Allied Pacifier. It's a cool unit, if it's in MP doesn't that make Athena Cannons obsolete? For the EotRS everything seems okay to me. I believe the Harbinger and Giga Fortress are good units and they should stay the way as it is. They should add one more "epic" unit for the Soviet arsenal to compete with the Harbinger and Giga Fortress. Perhaps the April Fool's LoTR's Mammoth "Tank" should make a comeback as the answer for the "epic" unit?

[Gben 20]

The Soviets need an epic blimp ... ala Mid East Crisis 2 (the Ark)... but I could also go an epic James-bondesque-Akula-missile-sub.

Or maybe I have to wait for RETARDED MOD to fullfill my dreams!
