Teh C&C Thread

"It's not like other C&Cs where you mass the hell out of the enemy, you actually have to be strategic."

Does building ten or fifteen Tesla Tanks on Red Alert II taking one space at a time spring to mind?

 

Red Alert II was all massing.

It really sucked, because I wasn't used to it, so I would die before I actually adapted to what they were doing.

The computer engineer rushes as well, and that's suckiest of all sucks.

 

I do have one problem with generals though, when i garrison a building almost immediately a toxin tractor or dragon tank comes along and what do ya know? No more Jamon Kell i hate that

 

That's my major pet peeve with Generals, is how fast those things take down men, and how they can do it from inside buildings. It also pisses me off when snipers take out the drivers of your vehicles.

I also think all the units are too weak. They die way too fast. Even if you have a three stripe veteran unit, it's not that good.

 

i think its more realistic, on the battlefield all units die fast, 1 bullet kills infantry etc. And Jamon Kell is teh 1337357 unit the GLA has!

 

Boom.

 

Does anyone feel upset that Westwood have been deleted?

 

Yeah, it's a bummer. Let's hope EA does a good job making C&C games!

 

What genre will the next Command & Conquer game be you think?

 

well they should do an expansion for Generals first, i think they might even make a renegade style for generals or even expand on the NOD vs GDI Factor, love those matchups!

 

i think an expansion for Generals and then Tiberian Twilight.

 

expansion for Generals better have 2 new armies, i hope russia!

 

WOOOH! a C&C thread!!
Damn I wish Generals would work on my PC, it's too old & crappy.
Instead I play RA2 and I also mod it, add nu units & stuff - good way to pass the time it is.

 

I actually prefer Yuri's Revenge over Generals.

 

Well, that's called blasphemy my boy.

I enjoyed RA2 and Yuri's incredibly, but Generals is a lot better than them.

The only thing I hated about RA2 and Yuri's was the insae load time. I have a 1.8 Athlon, with 1GB of RAM, and it still took well over 30 seconds to load the menu for RA2, and over a minute to load Yuri's. It was pretty annoying.

 

After playing Generals, Yuris looks really lame especially how air units take off vertically!!! In Generals theres acyually a runway! wow, who woulda guessed planes needed runways?

 

how air units take off vertically

thats casue the allied planes are Harriers, which are one of the few planes that can do that

 

i still think generals is more realistic, no one force can destroy a base, you gotta wear it down... except 10 overlords, trying to stop that is suicide

 

Yeah, there's not really a force that can take a base down real quick. Overlords come quick, but they're still relatively easy to stop, unless you're GLA.

The easiest to defend with is USA, simply because Patriot missiles rule all. China comes in close though with the mobile Nuke launchers. If you force-fire on the ground where the enemy attacks from, they run into nukes everytime they come to attack you. It works splendidly.

 

Yeah, there's not really a force that can take a base down real quick. Overlords come quick, but they're still relatively easy to stop, unless you're GLA.

I play GLA

 

Oh.

The only thing that I like about GLA is how everything is relatively cheap for them. They have a lot of cool abilities too.

The toxic sprayer is so freaking annoying though.

 

yea, and also when i mine the whole map...



GLA rocks, mainly caus of scud launchers though

 

What can I say...I bought Generals the day it came out, same with Yuris Revenge. I stopped playing Generals a couple days after I got it....as for Yuri's Revenge...well, I spent all afternoon playing it today

 

You serious? I dont understand that, Yuris was a great game but Generals rocks! What did u play in Generals that put u off it?

 

Yeah, explain please.
