Command & Conquer: All Stars Mod Released

[Sonic 296]

Three long years in the making and it's finally available for download. The Command & Conquer: All Stars mod for Zero Hour has been released to the public. If you haven't been following the mod during its development here is a quick summary......

 

All Stars aims to settle the debates that Command and Conquer fans have been having for over a decade: What unit is the best? Which storylines are best? Who would win, Apocalypse, Overlord, or Mammoth MKII? Is Tesla technology better than Tiberium weapons? Can the Generals build system stack up against the classic C&C style?

 

When the best of the best are thrown into an all out war - when the All Stars battle - what will happen?

 

In CnC All Stars, each faction is a series from the C&C universe. The armies of the Global Defense Initiative, the zealots of the Brotherhood of Nod and members of The Forgotten form the Tiberian Coalition. The might of the Soviet Red Army, the wit of the Allies, and the psychic powers of Yuri form the Red Alert Alliance. The high-tech power of the United States, the brute numbers and force of the People's Republic of China and the terrorist tactics of the Global Liberation Army form the Generals Elite.

As an added bonus a great looking wallpaper created by General Kane Nash is available as well.

EDIT: Review

 

Well in a word the game is rather chunky! It seems the ratio of certain units to buildings are... well off.

 

I give it 4/5 for effort

I give it 2/5 for scale & GFX glitches

I give it 4/5 for fun factor

I give it 1/5 for control issues (I'm used to C&C3 now!!!)

I give it 5/5 for Hand of Nod animation!

I give 2.5 out 5 overall.

 

The mod lacks the professional polish that I was hoping for, but I only played for 30mins just to check out all the different units. But kudos for actually getting it done and playable.

 

The all-stars concept is kinda weird - because why would different factions work together - even though this is an established gameplay mechanic in all games.

 

I only played a short time, but it didn't really seem like there was any difference other than skins between the titan, grizzly, and scorpian tanks, and so that decreases the enjoyment a tad... but like I said - I only played for a short time to check out the units.

 

The mod feels like a beta, just because it has so much more potential to be better. still in light of all the TC's out there that start, promise the earth, and dissapear into thin air, I again say kudos for getting this out.
