[Sonic 296]

Thundermods.net have announced Dune: Arrakian Wars, a new total conversion mod for Command & Conquer 3. Many C&C fans like Dune due to the Westwood connections and now they will get the chance to return to the Dune universe once again.

 

 

Welcome back on Arrakis, Commander!

 

We from Thundermods.net announce one of our mods, Dune: Arrakian Wars (DAW for short), which will bring you back onto the desert planet 'Dune'. Based on the last game of the Dune universe 'Emperor - Battle for Dune', DAW will bring back the Dune feeling to your screens, featured with high-end graphics, new gameplay elements and the original music from Emperor.

 

DAW will feature all three main houses, Atreides, Harkonnen and Ordos and also feature the five famous subhouses Fremen, Guild, Ix, Sardaukar, and Tleilaxu, which will unlike Emperor not chosen until you're in game.

YES. DUNE is BACK!!! Its nice to see that some of the RTS history is coming back. I wonder if sand worms will be involved.

I have yet to actually play a dune game, but this is definitely going to be downloaded by me. What say you, will you download it?? What say you!!

[TheRoadToDawn 0]

I will download it.

 

I started playing Dune right around the release of Dune 2000, Dune 2k didnt reallydefine my needs as a good RTS, probably due to the fact that I was already used to how C&C was set-up.

 

But the best Dune game to day is Emperor Battle for Dune because its the only RTS I know of yet that actually treats you as a general (deciding which territories to conquer, what allies you get, and how ur actions decide how you play the game). The only bad part was the lack of cutscenes (since they were used only for critical moments in the game).

I remember a Dune mod (called Dune:Evolution) for C&C3, but it kinda died out. I sure as hell hope this gets finished, it looks awesome

I hope too. Comparing Emperor to CnC3 today, only the cutscenes keep a lasting impression, level and mission design is bland, as are the unit responses and animations. Imho.

I will enjoy this.
