Ra2 moderately succesful? Bastardisation? ZH the best multplayer?

You people are mistaking your own views with the reality of the situation. There’s a reason Ra2 lives on while the rest died in a heap. It’s just a shame EA are doing away with the relentless multi-tasking action unique to Ra2 which was the very reason it became a behemoth, and are replacing it with a user friendly slow ass yuri turtle fest.

[...] the next in the Command & Conquer 3 series will indeed by Red Alert 3. Which we pretty much knew. (In fact, did know. Just couldn’t say so before without raining down death and destruction [...]

Well it isn’t for me :P But maybe I only need to take some years off from the genre. Until maybe 2-3 years ago I consumed more than 5 times the recommended dose of RTS and today I can still feel the consequences.

Yeah, the RTS genepool is a bit thin, but between World In Conflict’s multiplayer and Medieval 2 or Company Of Heroes single player there’s more than enough game to keep me happy.

What KaiserPanda said. The C&C series is dead as far as I’m concerned and most other of the RTS games since they are all (except for very few indeed) the same shit with different names.

What is wrong with you!? Tiberian Sun a “heartless retread.” No way! That game bleeds atmosphere. It continues the storyline wonderfully, too. Red Alert 2 was a bastardization that marked EA’s entrance in to C&C. Before that C&C was somewhat gritty with a layer of crazy technology and science fiction. Red Alert 2 was “lol war.” Also RA2’s gameplay pushed it too far to the ADD side to amuse me. It was the jump off the cliff before the downhill roll. Meh at you, RPS. MEH.

The new game will be called “Command and Conquer Arena”, and will be a free online C&C game supported by micropayments for in-game items.

It’s going to be an entirely new Command and Conquer series, obviously. Probably one centered around grizzled ducks fighting for control of the pond.

Zero Hour was their finest, um, hour, multiplayer-wise. It’s the only time the game was ever balanced.

I don’t think the confusion is gonna be any bigger than it was with previous C&C games like Tiberian Sun, some mags even managed to call that C&C3 on their cover.

And let’s be honest, if it has weirdo FMV flicks and it’s an RTS then every C&C fan will buy it.

Kieron – Cool :) Should be coming in my post sometime next week then :D

Yeah that timelines are a cause of much controversy all based on the fact that Kane appears in Red Alert 1….hope EA clear things up if this is going to be RA3!

Chis – yeah no Frank really does hurt the series :(
