Last month, EA canceled more than a dozen games as part of its shift to "focus on titles with higher [profit] margin opportunities." The move was accompanied by a headcount reduction of 1,500, or roughly 17 percent of the publisher's workforce.

I don't really hate them, but I just don't think they have what it takes to make a game like the original C&C games. I guess that's why C&C4 is such a drastic move. But, for once, C&C4 actually looks decent.

We hate it because the gameplay fails badly since the new non westwood releases.

I dislike them a lot because they brought out Westwood and their way of life and took C&C away from them. All just for making more money.

Tbh, RA3 is my favorite C&C game to date. And I'm someone who prefers the Tiberium universe to the other two.

Well it isn't. I've played it. It's boring, repetitive and it doesn't take much skill. You just build units and send them into a non-tactical battle. Also, did I mention that you just build units? You don't buy them or earn them, you just click them and they are made, no questions asked (until you hit the population cap, that is.)

Hopefully they fix it up more before release, but at the moment it's nothing special.

There is no economy, basically.

Also, everything I'm saying is already publicly known, so I'm not breaking the beta tester Non-disclosure agreement.

I think what the EA customer support guy was getting at was looking at the actual game disk inside of the box, not just the case surrounded in shrinkwrap.

Agreed, but you lost me at the last part. A game about capturing nodes, with no base building and no resource gathering, is not my idea of a good game.

The no base building parts definitely sucks, yeah. I hope they have a mode where you can build bases.

Otherwise, I'll have to get a better computer, get C&C4, and jump on the C&C4 modding boat and fix that up.

Wait, C&C4 doesn't have base-building? That's kinda been one of the hallmarks of the series and the genre in general. :/

C&C4 basically has an MCV (called a "Crawler") with a weapon, that can build anything anywhere, without need for powerplants, refineries, or production facilities.

I would of still called it C&C. Because you are still "commanding" units and "conquering" your enemies.

However, I wouldn't made it in the Tiberium universe.

It would have been better suited in the Generals universe, or more over a new ip.

I've always felt that the franchise needs a revise, which makes it more accessible to casual players. I'm thinking RA1, with the graphics and AI of today, but with RA's general simplicity.

C&C1, and Red Alert especially, sold very well to many people who wouldn't normally buy RTS', myself included. The tech tree was easy, and it didn't have a ton of extra crap. Instead, you had a lean game that you could pick up and play very easily, and yet have to really work at to be a master. The last RTS I played was the C&C3 demo, and I was in way over my head.

Couldn't have said it better myself. TD and RA1 were simple, but not overbearing. But to master it, it took a little bit more skill than you'd think.

I like almost everything they've done with C&C4, but with no game mode even to build bases... I dunno, that kinda kills what made the series so great.
