There's something alluring about using enemy's toys.
>>344295272
This. Especially when i was younger and couldn't figure out how to beat the nod campaign.
>>344295272
Phew, I'm not the only one who did this.
Did anyone else like Renegade? I liked seeing full-sized vehicles and buildings. I heard it wasn't viewed to well.
>>344296479
a lot of people still play the multiplayer to this day
NOD forever

GDI has mechs, NOD however is way cooler overall.
Peace trough flour!
>>344296479
>tfw everyone on team saved up for a mammoth tank
GDI has superior firepower, and cool implemented units that still manage to be mostly practical.
NOD skewers it way too much towards gimmicky high tech concepts, which for some reason doesn't draw me as much in this particular case.Still waiting for a NOD mod for XCOM 2
>>344296479
Great mp, pretty lucklaster single player campaign. I enjoyed it when it came out, but I was a huge C&C fan already, but replaying it it wasn't anything special. The main appeal was the ability to drive loads of vehicles, but today that's almost expected in a FPS.
The story is even more corny than Escape from L.A.
>>344293470
This will forever be a eyesore in the history of the Tiberium-Games.
You now remember the horrible ending for the last C&C Game.
You now realize there will never be another C&C Tiberium Game.
GDI.
>>344296918
>gimmicky
You mean fucking savage tech. My only beef with nod is their building tech tree was a bit too similar to GDI, you couldn't take full advantage of their unit's mobility. If their construction was similar to the Japanese faction in red alert 3 I think we might've had a completely different game.
>>344297089
That's what makes it so good
"Miss me?"
"Not at this range"
>>344297257
We'll see senpai, EA pretty much ran the series into the ground. Maybe one day they'll consider selling some assets? I can only dream :/
>>344297257
I still have to play this. I know the story is ruined, I know the gameplay is completely revamped, but I have to see it myself, I have to finish both campaigns like with every other C&C game to date.
>>344294862
You know, Tiberian Sun was my first C&C game and I really liked what it did to the atmosphere. The art made it look like a world that was two degrees removed from being a barren, lifeless wastelend, like the apocalypse had already happened and the world was just on its dying throes with no way back.
I can understand why people don't like the sudden mech spam everywhere, but the fact that Tiberium Wars dialed that atmosphere back significantly always disappointed me a bit.
>>344297580
You will regret even touching it.
>tfw Mechanical Man

>>344297395
Well I had mostly the C&C3 walkers in mind.
As far as NOD is concerned I've always been drawn more to its stealth tanks and the amazing artillery from Tiberian Sun than, say, a flame-spouting tank that can tunnel underground.
The Black Hand Flame Infantry is cooler anyway.

C&C 3 WAS SHIT, SHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTT

>>344298470
Hard to say.
It was a downward spiral from TibSun to C&C4. It's anyone's opinion where they crossed the line.
>>344295095
C&C and Red alert + soviet assault are my favourite RTS man their stories where so comfy for some reason I could play a skirmish for hours on end in Red Alert even today. I feel like the only one who rates Red Alert and C&C above all their sequels.

>reading the data logs from that game

Yeah, I don't think so, EA
Post your face when:
>Unit Lost
>>344298416
maybe they found it unsafe during testing? Like the laser had a habit of exploding. Or maybe it was too expensive for mass production, so they removed features?
>>344298475
All that bothers me in it is the poor performance. The game is still beautiful to this day, but there's no reason the damn thing should be capped at 30 FPS, feels stuttery as all hell.
In fact, a lot of RTS have artstyles that hold well and still look beautiful to this day, Red Alert 3 and AoE III are two games that also come to mind.

Tiberian Sun is a fantastic game and I love it to death. But if you look at what was cut from the game and it looks like EA were rushing it somewhat.

C&C 3 and to a greater extent Kanes Wrath were amazing and worthy additions to the universe.
Don't let EAs track record cloud your judgement. I'd go as far to say they were the last 2 good games they made.
>>344297580
dont do this anon...
i played the gdi campaign and was feeling like shit by the end
couldnt even finish 2 missions of the nod one
i was disgusted with myself for playing this game
>>344298738
that's probably it
>>344299278
EA was the publisher even for TibSun
http://cnc.wikia.com/wiki/Cut_content_(Tiberian_Sun)
>>344299336
this, c&c 3 and the expansion were great
red alert 3 on the other hand, complete shit
>>344298819
i didnt like how the game went from sci fi to WW2 shit. Only a small hand full of units remained unique in C&C3 like the nod butterfly soldier, where almost every single unit in C&C2 was unique. the perfect example was the grenade disk thrower from 2 that became just some guy throwing a grenade in 3, with correct placement you could do attack ground from ontop of hills and have the disks glide into your enemys base from 3x the normal distance, or just missing an enemy would have the disk go some other place.
also the aliens went from this awesome mystery thing to this garbage >>344298278
>>344297257
>mfw the unit designs
I still don't understand how someone actually thought that even half that shit looked good enough to put ingame.
>>344298863
not him but tiberium sun is nothing but a downgrade from the original C&C and was literally cashing in on the Starcraft hype.
>>344299596
>red alert 3
At least it had top tier waifus
>>344299608
>also the aliens went from this awesome mystery thing to this garbage
Scrin were planned as a faction in canceled Tiberium Twilight, before C&C3 and they would be the same Scrin as in C&C3.
>>344297580
There is nothing interesting in it. It's an entirely unremarkable game.
>>344299608
To be fair, as far as tone is concerned, Tiberium Wars is far more faithful to the tone of the original game than Tiberian Sun was. So in that sense the series was just returning to its proper roots.
I agree though, finding that alien ship during the campaign blew my mind, and its aesthetics are far better than the vaguely insectoid nonsense of the Scrin
>>344299608
>i didnt like how the game went from sci fi to WW2 shit
I said a similar thing when C&C decided to cash in on Starcraft and went from realistic military to scifi shit
>>344299596
I still don't get what's the issue with Red Alert 3 beyond the comedy being more prevalent and how unbalanced the multiplayer was with Imperial Infantry spam everywhere [or so I hear].
I actually really like it, and wish there was a fourth one.
>>344299948
I don't know, I kind of like the Scrin being insects. Throwing waves of Zone Troopers at them felt like the closest thing to a Starship Troopers RTS.
>>344299608
C&C 3 had unique units though. Like the Zone Troopers that could crash a party anywhere on the map with the drop pod and jump around with jetpacks. Or the Avatar that could rip the weapons off other units and attach them to their chassis. Beam cannons I think they were called, the ones that could link up their lazer beams to increase power, were also fairly unique.
Kane's Wrath had even more new toys to play around with thanks to the ultra/faction specific units. Also that Scrin ship is pretty much how their units look in game so I dunno what you're talking about there.
>>344300230
>I actually really like it, and wish there was a fourth one.
Careful of what you wish for senpai. People were wishing for a Generals 2 and look how that ended up.
>>344300230
because the developers confsued the fans that loves the retarded and goofy fun story for people wanting more retarded and goofy gameplay. They where wrong we liked the original gameplay.
>>344299960
>and went from realistic military to scifi shit
I'm sorry, what?

This is a pain worse than death. This is an existence worse than Hell. I've watched all of my favorite series turn into shit before my eyes. I can't take it anymore. I am going to go home, grab my gun, and shoot my computer.
>>344299608
That alien spaceship looks so damn tasty.
I want it so bad but I am afraid something is going to ruin it somehow.
>>344300387
It did a couple interesting things though, units having alternate modes or abilities wasn't all bad.
>>344300569
You're right, comedy is not quite the right world, but what else do you call Tim Curry screaming about how he's going to nuke the entire United States if the Mt. Rushmore laser cannon fires, or George Takei delivering his war declaration broadcast while a couple gets it on in the background?
>>344299843
i actually didn't like the expansion, i felt they homogenized the sides like giving GDI artillery. But im glade scrim didnt make it in, if they wanted a 3rd race they should have made the rebels/mutants a faction
>>344299960
c&c1 had lasers, lightning troopers, tanks with 2 barrels, and stealth tanks
it was the natural progression for a game set into the future
>>344300278
i just feel it could have been better, i liked how mysterious it was, by the time 3 came around zerg/starship troopers was something i already saw done like 100x
>>344298278
>implying the scrin didn't shit themselves when humans kept warring even after they showed up and basically made it a 3-way orgy of violence
Indigenous population warlike to the extreme - once Threshold construction is complete and gateway is open, entire indigenous population must be cleansed from the surface of the planet.
>>344300331
i fucking loved how GDI had all the reinforcement themed abilities. You could put together a small army in about 10 seconds if you used the infantry, apc/rocket buggy and zone trooper drops all at once. not to mention every vehicle aside from mammoths having the dropship option to pick up and place them where you want
YO

>>344300917
>i actually didn't like the expansion, i felt they homogenized the sides like giving GDI artillery. But im glade scrim didnt make it in, if they wanted a 3rd race they should have made the rebels/mutants a faction
Not talking about Firestorm, I'm talking about a sequel that never was.
>>344300331
ok but like being powerful and jetpacking around isent that unique; look at the shadow team , they can also fly like the zone trooper but they have to GLIDE down from cliff tops
THATS cool, unique, and has a place in opening strategy. spending your big dollars on big powerful units aint good rts
>>344295095
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUj05zld8T0
>>344301092
That really doesn't mean much though.
All the lighthearted elements of the second game could also be called cringe if you called upon someone boring enough to define it
>kane starts a conflict over tiberium in order to detonate enough of it to draw aliens from lightyears away to earth
>upon arrival, seeing as the planets indigenous population are warring, the aliens decide to set up extractors and at the same time cleanse the planet of humans
>kane manipulates a cyborg a.i into tracking the aliens movement in order to make an interstellar map to their homeworld
>does this because he himself is an alium that was stranded on earth for thousands of years and wants to go home
did i get this right? i haven't played the 4th game but at the end of kanes wrath, it shows you pretty much going through wormholes and arriving at what i assume is the scrin homeworld
>>344301807
Kane's motivation has shifted over the years
Remember that in the second game, his plan involved a "world altering missile" that would genetically mutate mankind to make it more compatible with Tiberium.
At the same time, he's NOT of the same species as the Scrim, seeing as they have his genetic information but it is classified as "unrecognized" or something like that.
>>344299608
fuck i love this design, the more i look back on it i think its the best alien space ship i have ever seen
its so strange and "alien" looking, i like how its lob sided and goes against symmetric designs you see on 99% of space ships in popular culture. I cant tell if its landed upside down on right side up or side ways you just don't know
i even love how it looks kinda furry its great, its just great
>>344301807
god, the story was so bad
NOD. Always NOD. The red and black armor, that scorpion tail emblem, those cyborgs and flame tanks, lasers and Egyptian themed shit. Cool as fuck.
>>344296479
For its multiplayer, Renegade was fucking great, they nailed down the C&C as a FPS part. It's too bad it didn't get a sequel where they could've refined their ideas further and it's too bad it's pretty dead these days along with Renegade X.
Would've loved to see an actual game that took place during Tiberian Sun or even Tiberium Wars with the more crazier units and settings in play.
>>344300442
>>344300917
Please Tiberium Sun was heavily influenced by Starcraft and an incredibly long way from the original C&C. C&C 3 was a welcome although slightly disappointing return to it's roots. The whole mentality of the creators is literally "This is popular so lets copy this" even the original C&C was different from how they intended it to be which was originally high fantasy with wizards but Westwood co-founder Louis Castle: "War was in the news and the threat of terrorism was on everyone's mind. That definitely had an effect on the fictional world of C&C"
No way did developers with that mentality accidentally end up with a similar game to Starcraft just 1 year later.
All those years as a kid where I loved that crazy theory that Kane was actually the biblical Cain and C&C was going to eventually evolve into some Shin Megami Tensei ass Sci Fi vs. Religious Myth shit in the future games
>nah lol hes just an alien also we removed base building and fucked the story to shit and then abandoned the franchise
RIP
>>344302590
Nothing to do with EA Westwood where just as bad when it came to the story.
Friendly reminder Tiberian Sun is freeware
>>344302582
this wasn't 2016 where everyone is copying each other and games take 6 years and millions of dollars of investments to make kid, people were putting out games they though would be good and no one was getting RICH creating video games
also, having a sci fi setting doesn't make the game a clone. The only similarity in the game is the artillery and siege tank unit
>>344295272
Red Alert 2 fucked with my OCD in this because not only could you capture enemy production buildings to make their units, but capturing certain enemy buildings gave you access to special units you couldn't otherwise get.
> yfw the GDI already appeared in the last Red Alert missions
WE WUZ KAINS
>>344303252
huh? why are they GDI, because their color is yellow? i mean i guess they could be based on the tech centers surrounding the chronosphere, but there's nothing substantial to suggest it's GDI.
>>344303481
KANE?
>>344303132
>kid
Calling me this doesn't somehow legitimise your argument pal. People have been saying Tiberium sun is a Starcraft clone for years the similarities and Westwoods wishy washy attitude when it came to C&C made it obvious for anyone with half a brain. Christ the jarring jump in the story from SD to SS was painful enough.
>>344303629
>, but there's nothing substantial to suggest it's GDI
Have you seen the ending video of the sovjets?
Where Kane murders Stalin to create Nod?
>>344297257
I bought the game because I've been a fan of C&C since the first, and I thought if nothing else, I owed it to Joe Kucan to see his final performance as Kane.
Installed it, launched it, saw "SIGN INTO YOUR EA ACCOUNT TO CONTINUE", closed the game, uninstalled it. Never actually played it.
Is it as bad as I've heard?
>>344299608
The Scrin Ship was inspired by the derelict ship from alien
>>344303760
>kid
maybe not but its fun to pretend on the internet
I honestly cant see the similarity other then sci fi, you are going to have to draw some parallels for me. Since you are making the argument its on you to provide the evidence
>>344303629
the units are GDI tanks, the smaller tanks are what the allies normally used, also yeah this ending >>344303931
>>344302946
this and it's a great way to waste several hours on skirmishes.
>>344304194
if you say so
>>344303931
yeah but GDI is formed ages after the allies lose the war right?
>>344304197
actually the allies use both. the light and medium (single barrel) ones. soviets used the double barrel heavy and mammoth ones
>>344303252
Why are zoomed out RTS maps so comfy to look at?
>>344296608

>>344304418
i see, i guess they recycled more then i remember
>>344297257
god I fucking remember getting hype at first because I won some contest to guess what the subtitle for the game would be and got into the prelaunch multiplayer beta, only played a single round and uninstalled immediately, what the hell were they thinking
>>344303252
C&C has some deep lore
https://www.gamefaqs.com/pc/196957-command-and-conquer/faqs/13721
Too many missions in C&C95 had you working with a small rag tag team of units without the means to produce any more. I was only a kid back then but fuck I hated those they just felt way too tense, especially since you didn't have a radar for a lot of them and if you lost even a few troops it was usually MISSION FAILED. And then just to tease you, they start giving you a base without a conyard or warfactory that you have to defend against waves of troops and you need to repair your tanks on a repair plate.
I just wanted comfy base building that allowed me to tech up and build whatever I wanted. Even then the levels where you could were insanely light on Tiberium close by and that meant you had to expand closer to the enemy to harvest, which was always not so comfy and made me have to leave the security of my sandbag walls
>>344304925
Didn't help that the AI was relentless. You'd better be training troops constantly, because the AI damn well was.Then I found out about the sandbags thing.
>>344304676

>Scrin were planned as a faction in canceled Tiberium Twilight, before C&C3 and they would be the same Scrin as in C&C3.
Same with Forgotten and CABAL. EA said something something "we'll try to remain faithful or at least put them in". All we got is Ben10 guy acting as a mutant, and CABAL appearing for 10 seconds in Kane's Wrath

nah, during the middle of the Allied campaign (Greece if I remember well) it is said during the briefin that the UN is working on creating an international peacekeeping force
>>344305504
Was that the GDI mission where you had to destroy all the sams to make way for warthog airstrikes? Fairly early on iirc
>>344305690
it's the mission just after the GDI get its budget destroyed for supposedly attacking a civilian village in eastern europe, yes. You have to find the old abandonned GDI base on the southeast corner with your small band of loyalists and defeat the Nod base
/r/ing pics of Nod armor
my fav strategy as a kid was to load up like 4 APCs with engineers and run them into the enemys base
then sell everything
>>344293470
Ok, for perspective:

C&C threads always make me feel warm inside. The original C&C was the first pc game I ever played. After playing it I fell in love with the series. When I heard what EA had done with C&C 4 part of me died inside .
Even had the original command and conquer on n64 so good best cheat codes ever too

Red Alert 3 was ok, and had great music.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuVWQdXCmwo
My only major issue with it were those bullshit support powers that were way too powerful
>>344308640
This is probably my favourite C&C pic. That guy who drew this has talent.
>>344298602
I like Red Alert too anon
fun game

Getting chills from looking at this
Even though I loved the shit out of Red Alert, Tanya quickly became my least favorite character in any work of fiction
>>344293470
GDI promises them prosperity. THE HOMELESS AND HUNGRY KNOW THE TRUTH. THEY HAVE BEEN FORGOTTEN, THEY HAVE NOTHING! BUT THEIR ANGER! WE WILL TAKE THAT SPARK AND START A FIRE THAT WILL BECOME A GREAT CONFLAGRATION! PEACE THROUGH POWER!
Honestly Nod for story, GDI for units. Kane makes me want to join some guerrilla unit and start fighting NATO

She was in the classic sense a Mary Sue.
Boris was better and Zofia was my first boner.
In fact RA2 gave me my fetish for eastern European women.

>allright bros were gonna blow ourselves up for kane
>alright man, ill get the bombs, you get a good position
>next day
>here are the bombs bro
>they glow?
>yeah they are like, super powerful tiberium bombs man
>yeah but dont you think the guards of the compound will allow a few guys with glowing vests near the place?
>>344309404
It wasn't really the character that was the problem, it was more that fact that I was forced to control her and only her every few missions, in a game where your supposed to control armies
imagine the chaos just one of these guys could cause if he decided to go rogue
>>344309687
That's why you keep twice the amount of dogs around
>>344293470
NOD is the only right answer.
>>344308995
Twisted Insurrection is what C&C 3 and 4 should have been
>>344308796
C&C64 had cheat codes?
>>344308809
I dont get it. After tib wars I thought they learned that free super powers were cancer and they would add cost to it.
But instead they just maed the most retarded powers ever.
>hey lets make this superpower that sucks up a bunch of tnaks with no counterplay
>yeah and then when all the tanks are sucked up, he has another free power that drops a bunch of bombs but also does more damage if he already fucked over the guy with the tank suck power.
>brilliant
Then you had the japanese who were retarded in early patches since their early game harassment unit was both air superiority fighter and superb harrassment unit. And dont forget that if both air and ground werent safe they could just go on the water. Or how their hero unit could juggle multiple enemy tanks while for other hero units tanks were the best way of countering them.
Then there was the problem that building tech was complete cancer for half the races. For empire it only allowed you to upgrade one by one, for allies they just didnt tec since they rather use their CY to build expansions.
Only good idea was the focus on water and amphibious units (which were poorly executed)

That's the game with the corporate douchebags faction right?
>>344309971
My biggest beef has just been the redundancy of certain units. Like why does NOD have two artillery pieces?
>>344310106
Why is Frank so cool?
>>344310363
For different situation i suppose. I like having more units, some for general purpose things, some specialised.
Endless sadness.
>>344310756
I feel you, because you want the same thing i want, the same thing we want.
>>344301807
Kane is also the biblical Cain
>>344298602
I like C&C the best out of the westwood games, but Kane's Wrath is literally the only good thing EA has done since the N64 days.
>>344301092
You really can't say that if you liked RA2 or (kek) Yuri's Revenge.
>>344307649
"Armor superiority... Let's get to the front!"
Hearing that sultry black man's voice while my army of mammoth tanks ripped through degenerate Nod forces was the best part of Tiberium Wars.

>you have to survive for 7 days in a city filled with snipers, nod troops, hungry civilians, GDI troops that have not enough supplies and various other scum

>>344312163
you can pilfer some nod gear and pretend to be a nod soldier. ALthough the situation is completely fucked and its every man for himself. So even friendly soldiers can turn out not to be so friendly.
Or maybe add a nod side of things. A nod soldier stuck in the same warzone. You would have to get civilians out of the warzone by bringing them into nod refugee camps.

Nod Harvester in C&C3/KW
That totally fucking spaced out timbre; the man was literally obsessed wit htiberium.
>Fields of green...
And the best line in the game when you told one to go to a spot on the map that didn't require harvesting
>but what about the tiberium!?
in the most exasperated and genuinely fearful voice you've ever heard. The concern was real.
>>344312491
>Or maybe add a nod side of things.
Perfect!

Yes? Did you not know they were partnered even back then? How do you think they managed to afford James Earl Jones?
>>344305350
this was my favourite map of all fucking time in any rts game
How is C&C 3? I remember playing it back when it released, but I was still in my DOOD COD LMAO phase and wasn't a large fan
Should I give it another go?
>>344299278
>he doesn't know
>>344313382
Yea, it's pretty good, it would have been better if they properly supported it too. Say what you will about blizzard, but they support their games long after release giving them longevity and arguably better balance compared to the competition
>>344313382
It's good shit, in my opinion. It also had an expansion called Kane's Wrath that is a love letter to Tiberian Sun, and the series' swan song. The two last great C&C games, in my opinion. Scrin were pretty damn cooland their air game was OP as fuck
>>344313625
I can't do Kane's Wrath, I don't know if it's actually harder or if I just suck at RTSes since I finished the others, but Kane's Wrath beats me.
>>344313056

>>344313824
during roman times christians were getting hunted down and tortured until they gave up their faith. Those who didnt either got burned or left to rot in a cell.
When the chirstian faith became official the christians needed to reevaluate the faith of the people who broke under torture. Confessors were people who didnt break and thus were true christians. Therefore they were the people who could weigh the faithfulness of other christians.

>>344297395
>If their construction was similar to the Japanese faction in red alert 3 I think we might've had a completely different game.
they had those mobile factories in firestorm.
But yeah it would be neat as fuck if they had subterrian building drones. Like they can burrow a bit and then if they are in position you can make them start building underground until around 80% construction they would surface and finish up.
>>344314323
>not wanting to have fun
We're talking about nod, not gdi
>>344293470
GDI
Both lore and game play.
But NOD was a hell of a lot of fun to play for both lore and gameplay
>>344314229
Thanks for the explanation.
