Sure C&C3 wasn't what I was expecting, but god damn.... JOE KUCAN!!! It sure made the gaming experience awesome for me.

You say Red Alert being the best in the series? Balls, the original was and still is the greatest of them all.

Say what you want about the other big RTS franchises, Starcraft, Total Annihilation, Dune, Dawn of War, none of them hold a candle to the juggernaught that is Command and Conquer.

Additional: Say what you want about Dead Space, I'll still be buying it when my Xbox gets back.

C&C is the greatest gaming franchise, ever!


There you've said it. Everyone has a very high opinion of Red Alert being the best games in the series, Yuri's Revenge being a popular fan favorite. But I've been digging and everyone is expecting much better than those previous games, but in truth they aren't because they've played it and don't expect much now and lowered their standards in slight disappointment.

See: release of Command & Conquer 3.
Actually it's more like Resident Evil with Time Shift and eight teaspoons of System Shock.

I'm not telling you not to buy it, I'm telling you to buy it. It IS confirmed for great Horror.

Also yes Red Alert series is the most popular C&C.

This news is probably old.
This just in: The worst possible thing they could do to Starcraft II.

It's a tie-over with the Warcraft universe. Azeroth is between Char and Aiur. You can recruit Taurens.

As far as I'm concerned, all the C&C games were great before EA rubbed their dark unwashed hands all over the franchise.

Mate, the C&C games are still great. Nowhere near as good mind you, but pretty fucking awesome nonetheless.

Meh, I've played some of 'em and I didn't like them personally. They didn't feel like C&C.

It felt more like a C&C game than Generals, that much is given, what with the return of the FMV and Joe "The Man" Kucan.

AAHAHAHAHAHAHA This is true if you don't consider Generals and Renegade.



* Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn Awesome
Command & Conquer: The Covert Operations Awesome
* Command & Conquer: Sole Survivor Never played
* Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun Fantastic
oCommand & Conquer: Tiberian Sun Firestorm Fantastic
* Command & Conquer: Renegade CRAP CRAP CRAP
* Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars Flash lights, nice graphic, big tanks and nothing else= Not so bad game
Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath Flash lights, nice graphic, big tanks and nothing else= Not so bad game

Serie Red Alert

Let's ignore it, althought I liked Red alert 2 and yuri revenge, the idea of diamonds and gold everywhere ( either on playgrounds at the center of new york ) makes me sick.

Serie Generals

* Command & Conquer: Generals Another shit game made in EA
Command & Conquer: Generals - Zero Hour Another shit game made in EA

Red Alert is a cunt. It's an amazing game but it's a parallel to the actual storyline.

I dunno why, but I loved Renegade. I remember the first time I came up against an obelisk in it and I literally shat myself. The thing towering 200 feet about me like the tail of a scorpion poised to strike me.

Red Alert's storyline was just friggin weird IMO, it seemed more like a filler because it really had no purpose except to say Kane lived before the Brotherhood of Nod was created, that's about it as far as I can see.

I've never played C&C 3 and I don't plan to either. Also haven't tried Renegade because it seemed so far off from the Command & Conquer universe. A C&C FPS? When I first heard of it I was like wtf, I didn't even think it existed lol.

Apparently it's good though, but I've never played it, might try it some time lol. If I can find it.

Tiberium, whic was going to be the most shining fps game realased by ea in 2009, have been delayed then cancelled cause they are noobs and made it too much similar to crysis.

Speculation is fact amirite

More like, EA are trying to up their quality standards and stop shoveling out shit like Tiberium was shaping up to be.

I think it has more to do with time travel than him actually being alive for (considering both storylines do indeed tie in) well over 100 years.

You should really play C&C 3 buddy, sure it's no C&C, but it's awesome with the return of FMV with a pretty decent cast.

Apparently they're dumping a ton of titles, the Command & Conquer franchise is one of them. But I think this is all just speculation as I haven't heard any announcement from them.

As for playing C&C3, wouldn't mind trying it but my only source of gaming is a shit laptop.

How can they be dumping the C&C franchise with Red Alert just around the corner?

I mentioned Tiberium as a dropped title because that's what EA stated officially that it was, dropped due to quality standards

I know what you said, I'm just quoting what I read. Like I said, it's all speculation and I also used the word "apparently" as the first thing I even wrote.
