>>324285117
You can always play against bots to get the feeling of how game works. Bots aim quite well, but they lack strategy and coordination that you would see when playing with people.sadly some people on public servers play worse than bots would
Or you can even remove bots and just explore the map to get familiar with terrain.

Consolefags and dudebros are keeping it alive and well.
I would say that *whole* C&C community has to get together and demand EA releases C&C IP to some trusted developer/publisher or even to public.
If that fails, we pull pic related on EA top executives.

Not as good as Tiberian Sun but showed that if EA cared enough, they could make a decent C&C game despite killing off Westwood. Them trying to push it as esports was kinda cancerous though.

>>324288594
agree, EA aren't going to self-destruct themselves.
They are pushing limits about how much can they exploit normies (when did we start shortening "normalfag"), but not to the point of any serious money income decline.
I would really like to see all C&C sub-communities start coming together, making a unified vision of what to happen with C&C in the future, and then get enough vocal about it to get response out of EA.
I do however fear that EA will start to think "O shit, even though we completely fucked up C&C there is still fanbase that we can exploit further"
>>324289648
>>324289335
CNCNet has a few links on there for singleplayer and configured to work mostly with modern systems. RA2 isn't there simply because EA didn't release it as freeware but you could just torrent that shit anyway.

>>324292112
It's basically a client that allows people to play the older games online. Community there also has people that did some things to make the older games playable on newer systems.
Even if it's just for singleplayer, I'd recommend going there for their files since installing the older games otherwise and getting them to work is a hassle.

>>324292552
Keep in mind how tough it is to attract new players to a game where their first match could:
A) Last 230 minutes in an endless stalemate
B) Last 10 minutes before getting crushed by the other team.
It also doesn't have the tactical gun mechanics everybody expects from shooters nowadays. It's an arcade shooter inside an RTS.

>>324292552
The initial publicity when it went public didn't help. It ran like shit and there were some serious bugs.
The aesthetic didn't appeal to people either, Tiberian Dawn and Renegade by extension, made it look like a generic shooter with its modern weaponry when it's really anything but that.
On top of that, how the game works is too abstract for many to comprehend. Things like mining buildings or keeping buildings up or repairing other player's vehicles or APC rushes didn't sit well with a lot of people.
Then you had people complain about "balance issues" like how they thought GDI was overpowered simply because they had stronger vehicles like mammoth tanks.
What >>324293338 said and lots of lots of shitposting and misinformation.
>>324293338
>It also doesn't have the tactical gun mechanics everybody expects from shooters nowadays. It's an arcade shooter inside an RTS.
Dunno, I consider the gun mechanics quite enjoyable, just like good old fps.
Daily reminder that C&C General correctly predicted the future. Our timeline is the Generals timeline.
>>324294481
but the middle east is a very small place, also are we going to turn into robots?
>>324294054
Yeah, plus the DDOS frenzy that took down 3/4 of the servers (that was to be expected though. This game was easy prey). The community really has been fighting an uphill battle just to keep the game existing, nevermind populated.
But hell it is so worth it. I just had a match where I single-handedly C4d two enemy buildings to death after getting knocked down to one last structure and still lost the match when the enemy did a mass APC rush. You just never know what to expect in this game.
>>324294820
>MRLS
It's MLRS you Tiberium-huffing yellow zoner
>>324294379
I mean things like aim bobbing for snipers, the fact that you can turn and strafe on a dime, and the fact that units can survive multiple headshots from most weapons. It is very enjoyable, especially in a classic fps sense, but a lot of people get put off by the thought of headshots being anything less than instant kills.

>>324295347
>headshots not being instant kills
Well, headshots are still very important in Renegade X, especially with stuff like the pistol and rifle.
But yeah Renegade X is fun as fuck, I remember the good times of turtling as nod and then sending out three infiltrators with nuke beacons

You mean the original Renegade as opposed to RenX?
As far as I'm concerned Renegade died when the guys behind RenGuard gave all units infinite ammo. Though the singleplayer campaign still has some great moments.
Chose only one.
>>324301812
yeah renguard was bs, i got !forcerg'd off a server once despite not hacking, pure bullshit.
it was my first online game ever, so fucking innovative combining FPS and RTS elements.

so many roles to play. Is RenX popular?
>>324301859
MOO, i mean HIROO
>>324302150
Fuck, original Renegade was something unique and fun even back then. It's too bad it died, along with any Renegade mods like A Path Beyond and whatever they called that Tiberian Sun mod. RenX is the only thing that's alive and even that's struggling very hard.
>>324302150
>it was my first online game ever,
Mine too! Weird. Probably because it was one of the first online games that didn't make you go through a lot of BS setting up ports and stuff to play online.
RenX has about 100 regular players, about 40 playing on a full server most of the day. Only one or two servers are left but at least they're populated enough to give you a decent game.

Such a good game that really focuses on team work where you really need to play the objective instead of just get kills.

Generals would be the only good option there, unless you can also have it so they just forget C&C4 ever happened and continued on from Kane's Wrath.

I always have a lot more fun playing as NOD doing sneaky bullshit stuff
GDI is kind of fun if you get a big tank battle going but it's a bit lackluster in my opinion.
I wish Renegade X had larger maps and more tech buildings to fight over. Maybe a communications center or one of those lab buildings with the three big golf balls on top.
>>324283290
DUN DUN DUN DOO DOO
>>324309553
Both teams can be sneaky. NOD just has units specially designed for it.
Is it so much to ask for have the original C&C in a format that works well on modern PCs?
No matter what I do it scrolls across the map at the speed of light.
>>324310232

>>324310232
Someone remade the first game in 3's engine, like how SC1 was made in 2's engine for Mass Recall
>ftw RTS is a dead genre
an hero time
>>324310527
It's not dead, it's just that very few companies still make any. And the fans for once are in fact to blame, because it just stopped being popular as a genre. Same thing happened to point-n-click adventure games
>tfw shit at RTS even when it was more popular
I tried to play games like Command & Conquer and Total Annihilation with my brother who was a lot more into it, but I've just always sucked and it kind of saps most of the enjoyment out of it.
>>324309553
What's the point of snipers? Free character eliminators? Cause even bots are fast as quake players.
as much as people hate on the deathball of SC2, the fact is that was the norm of a lot of rts even in the old days.
Red Alert 2 multiplayer was nothing but deathballs of tanks.
>>324310818
Get a couple snipers on a ledge overlooking an ion cannon beacon and watch engineer heads pop off left and right. Snipers are plain even during a beacon plant.
>>324310796
Honestly this is probably the biggest reason the genre died
>>324282901
EA is known to do that.
>>324311097
>the fact is that was the norm of a lot of rts even in the old days.
Because it WORKS. How the fuck do you counter a giant mass of death without using one of your own?
>>324311472
EA at least TRIED with Red Alert 3 having actors in cheesy cutscenes and goofy shit in the mechanics. But it wasn't a very good C&C game.
One of those "your heart was in the right place, but your mind was somewhere cold and dark and covered with spiders"
>>324311627
EA also tried on tiberium wars.
>>324311487
The same way things like Company of Heroes do it (or try to). Hard counters, etc.
If someone builds a huge blob of tanks you should just call in an artillery/air strike that wipes the whole thing. A more diverse and spread out mass of units would take much less damage for game reasons.
>>324311715
But the difference is even with its flaws, C&C3 was a good game.
That's what happens with every franchise EA buys. They make an actually good game and you think "oh hey maybe they'll treat it right".
Then they kick you in the nuts with the very next game.
>>324311718
Nothing in RA2 really could counter lots of tanks. Not to mention there's lots of games where the deathball is a lot of different units, just all clustered together.
>>324312117
>They make an actually good game and you think "oh hey maybe they'll treat it right".
C&C3
Mass Effect 2
Dead Space 2
System Shock 2
I liked all of those games and they're all EA. Then they betray me for trusting them.
GENTLEMENIT'S A NUCLEAR DEVICE
>>324311718
RA3 tried to do that, not well though.
TIME TIME TIME IS RUNNING OUT
>>324312117
You forgot Generals, which was just basically a no-name RTS that EA slapped the C&C name on for marketing purposes. It doesn't change that it was a really good game and got even better with the expansion.
>>324310050
I don't think the maps can get much bigger. As far as Unreal 3 maps go, they're massive. Plus when you lose all vehicles and have to make it to the enemy base on foot, you're pretty thankful it's a short hike.
>>324289335
You dont need to, EA intentionally let the rights on Tiberium Dawn, RA, Tiberium Sun, and RA2 fall off years ago.
>>324292924
Literally everything Klepacki does has that kinda sound. That's his thing.
>>324311487
Because units should be balanced, they should countered by other units. Hard counters in C&C were not that hard.
To be fair it is still much better than blizzard games which are the worst when it comes to this, you literally always build a giant blob of zealots or huntresses or whatever and just throw them at the enemy and micro them.
Not all old rts did this, for example aoe2 is a game that is unbalanced when it comes to civilization choice but when it comes to units it is fair. You will never get away with a deathball of cavalry for free against a competent player because halberdier destroy them.
>>324313664
>Hard counters in C&C were not that hard.
In the first game you could win like 80% of GDI missions by just building like 50 grenadiers and throwing it at their base.
>>324301859
But those aren't Volkov and Chitzkoi.
