Down with GDI
This is now C&C babes thread
>there will never, ever be another command and conquer game
Thanks EA
I've only really played Renegade. I have generals on Origin and Red alert 2 too. I should play them.
>there are edgy fags on this board, right now, that actually support NOD over glorious freedom protecting GDI
The only cure for NOD liberals treachery is the purifying light of death.
>>316368817
You should also play Renegade X.
And re: Generals, once you're done with the campaigns, get the Rise of the Reds mod.
>>316368720Wait, you'd actually WANT another C&C game after EA raped it so thoroughly and repeatedly?
>>316368720
You can become richfag and save C&C from them.
>>316368993
Is it active for America? I played it maybe a year ago. I fucking love CnC's style and stuff just through Renegade alone.
>>316369073
Absolutely.

>>316369729
But the Red Zone's are specifically NOD's proper ghetto, the actual nice places are a product of GDI that NOD liberal parasites are trying to steal. GDI=Europe & America, NOD=syrian & mexican "refugees".

CnC 4 is the only game I can think of that actually makes me angry that it exists.
>>316369819
Do you wanna buy the franchise from EA? Because they aren't refusing to make a new CNC because they lack money, they just choose not to because RTS are not as profitable as more casual genres right now. You can't put an RTS on an iphone.
>>316369557
I thought they were creepy enough in tiberian sun as completely amorphous blob-things. Renegade's ones..eeugh.They have part of a human jaw sometimes snapping out from within during their idle animation

Not Kickstarter to fund RTS development, Kickstarter to buy IP from EA. So that all the community projects can resume development without fear of getting sued by EA.
Renegade X is specific case of this.
Devs have informal agreement with EA to let them use C&C IP as long as they don't get any money for RenX.
This is good to keep RenX free, but bad since they can't accept donations for RenX development.
And last few times they tried to contact EA they didn't get any response.
Ahh, a C&C thread, one of the few good things left remaining on /v/

I can take units in Red alert 3 far more seriously than C&C 4

Wasted so much time with torrents and trying to make the goddamn game to work on modern win 7 I simply gave up, I mean the origin is awful, and it's twice awful since unlike the TD/RA1/TS which all were released as a full freeware, RA 2 actually requires this drm shit to give you actual copy, but working game is a working game, so I can bear with this sin.

>>316371340
That's a lie. You can't say a design choice is because of a demographic. And besides it doesn't even look anime, let alone mecha/Gundam looking. CNC4 was a mess. You can't repurpose a MOBA to an RTS and call it a day.
The suspense. It's killing you!
>>316373849
If you have an original disc or something I guess, but if I want to buy it again, only way is through Origin (though it's free I will give them that), or to find a C&C Collection I think it was called, in which you need Origin anyways.

>>316374705
Is it because it's just an excuse for EA to fire someone? Or because it's impossible to make a RTS according the EA's micro-transaction standards?
>>316375001
The answer is yes.
>>316375001
yes.
>>316374795
It happens every six months.
A game never leaving pre-production is more common than you think. Not even vaporware, more like just an idea and half finished concept art.
With the C&C "games" I'm talking about, there's a lot of meetings about how the game can be adapted to fit modern business practices; freemium, FPS, an Angry Birds clone, whatever. Don't take the Angry Birds clone too literally, it's just an example. Point is, nothing ever comes of it because they're not trying to make a C&C game, they're trying to make some other kind of game then slap the C&C name onto it.
>>316374795
Original westwood team was disbanded in the middle of development of the C&C 3: The Westwood edition, second time those guys who tried to make new Generals game and probably few other examples.

Original C&C 95 or Red Alert 1 for start, they are both freeware since 2007 so you don't even to pirate them, if they feel to basic/anachronistic for you then go for Tiberian Sun if you want ATMOSPHERE or go Red Alert 2 if you want cheesiness.
>Also OSTs or recommended songs
All of it, don't forget that expansions may also contain additional tracks.

What was the story of the Red Alert games again?
>someone goes back in time

How does this lead to a war between USA and USSR?
>>316377365
RA1 is that they go back in time and remove Hitler, causing Stalin to be the superpower.
RA2 is the Soviets wanting to take out the Allies
Yuri's Revenge is Yuri wanting to take over the world
RA3 is is Einstein getting fucked up, creating a Japanese superpower that starts destroying the Soviets
>>316377365
>someone goes back in time
No, Einstein goes back in time and erases Hitler.
>How does this lead to a war between USA and USSR?
Growing tension in Europe due to Stalin being a prankster as usual, also it's less of "USA vs USSR" and more of "Europe and one pissed off Greek vs USSR".
>>316377365
Einstein makes a time machine and goes back in time and stops Hitler from rising to power, WW2 is Western Europe defending itself from a Soviet Invasion in the '50s.
>>316377365
RA 1 - No Hitler, USSR goes full reich mode.
RA 2 - USSR takes a new stab at it, this time attacking US instead of Europe
RA 3 - No Einstein, WW 2 happens but no nuke means a truce with Japan, which remains a superpower.

Any other strategy games I should watch for while I'm out? Doesn't have to be RTS. I enjoy most settings, though civ5 was a bit enraging given how convoluted attacking a city is. Its like they don't encourage genocide or something.
>>316377449
CURSE YOU MANTIS
>>316377624
>>316377796
what's cool about Red Alert 1's premise is that the Allies actually thought that was going to take place
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Unthinkable
why was Westwood so god-tier
>>316377796
>WW 2 happens
Nope, in that timeline Einstein erases Hitler by meeting him in the only known location before he grows in power: after him being released from prison in 1924. After that Soviets go after Einstein at fifth meeting of Solvay Conference in 1927, this way both Hitler is erased from time while at the same time erasing Einstein, who was behind all the important technological progress for Allies.
>>316377365
One of Stalin's big plans was to "spread" the communist revolution after Russia had modernised through his 5 years merry plans, though this was disrupted by WW2. In the RA timeline, as Nazi Germany never existed the Soviets presumably had time to catch up with the world and start fucking everything up.
Also, was the USA even in Red Alert's WW2? I'm not sure if they're even mentioned in the main campaign. Seemed to be a purely European affair.
>>316377365
RA1: Einstein invents a time machine, goes back in time and kills Hitler to prevent WW2. Comes back to his time and discovers that Soviet Union is getting ready to attack the west to spread the global communist revolution.
RA2: After Allies rek USSR in RA1 they install a puppet leader there, but he rebels and launches invasion on USA with help of a mind controlling psychic Yuri
RA2 Yuri's Revenge: After Allies rek USSR again Yuri reveals that he was actually preparing global mind control network during all that time, he creates his own faction of kooky mind control monsters and mutants and tries to conquer the world
RA3: During the end of RA2, as USSR is getting rekt they develop their own time machine and go back in time to kill Einstein and prevent him from developing lots of military tech for Allies. They succeed, but when they come back they see that additional fuckery with the timeline caused reality to freak the fuck out even more - now there's another superpower in the world - Empire of The Rising Sun. They are anime japs with transformers, mechs and psychic schoolgirls and they also want to conquer the world. Even though Einstein was killed Allies still have all the tech he was supposed to develop for some reason. Probably just because it was iconic.
RA3 Uprising: After Allies rek everyone again Soviet Union launches an Uprising (c) (tm) to kick the occupiers from their country and stop plans of evil corporation that tries to develop machine that stops time. Japs also attempt and Uprising (c) (tm), but they get rekt by Allies.

He brutally murdered the most influential communist politician that supported global revolution, then he established an ideological basis for "building socialism in one country". It's pretty obvious he didn't want to do the global revolution.
>>316378439
Curios, I was always taught that he wished to see the Communist revolution spread at a later date, which was where some of his biggest misgivings of Trotsky and Zinoviev came from who wished to Immediately spread it
Seems I was wrong
>>316378276

They showed up around the mid to end game. Also they supplied all the weapons to the Allies.

Play Battle Realms, like shit, you must play it, it is one of those early 2000's RTS games that unfairly died because of the lack of advertisement campaign, the game itself is not just good, it's GREAT. Also Submarine Titans, the only underwater rts to this day, one time experience.
wow really finally 4chan posts a good video game thread? not fallout 4 crying? not d&d bullshit. not weeabo shit? mind = blown.
recently played through the series again. havent played any of them since their release dates.
Tiberian Dawn is still my favorite in the series. Love the units, love the maps, love single player. Easily one of the most difficult single player campaigns, especially if you throw in the Covert Ops maps. Soundtrack is a masterpiece, easy contender for the top spot.
Red Alert is also superb. Those last 2 missions on hard are easily contenders for the hardest rts single player campaign.
Tiberian Sun is great as well. Awesome atmosphere, awesome soundtrack. Great unit selection.
Renegade was very unique, albiet cheesy. Had a lot of multiplayer memories on that one.
Red Alert 2 was the last good on the series as far as I am concerned. The multiplayer was the best.
Never played C&C 3, C&C 4, or Red Alert 3.
Generals was good, but I don't consider it part of C&C other than name.
>>316379304
It was also not meant to be C&C4, it was meant to be a MOBA for the asian market, but EA just cash cowed it instead.

>it is one of those early 2000's RTS games that unfairly died because of the lack of advertisement campaign
It died because it was released around the same time as WC3. It didn't matter how good the game was, it couldn't handle that level of competition. Also Liquid are still trying to release it on steam with working matchmaking and shit.Serpent best clan
>>316379586
C&C 3 and Kane's Wrath are both good. Red Alert 3 is a little out of place but its still enjoyable. Twilight is a complete disaster in terms of gameplay, theme and story. The only thing I enjoyed about Twilight was the units.
Don't
>The units
And post the worm engineer and the firefly trooper. Those aren't in the game.
>>316379801

A bit incorrect, it was released before WC3, but the hype around it killed a good bunch of games.

>>316380004
Melee/Ranged system where shooters will be forced into melee, horses are recources which can be used to put almost any unit on it and they both work as separate entities i.e. when the horse is killed rider drops from it and continues fighting, Yin/Yang system used for upgrades while also being currency to buy heroes and buffing them accordingly to amount of Yin/Yang points, a shit ton of hidden passives and minor details, it is simply a game that made well and with soul in it, amount of small stuff that you won't ever find without in depth reading is just baffling.
>>316370883
What the fuck? But the Black hand hates experimenting with tiberium. Why would a confessor use a liquid tiberium sprayer?
They couldn't just reuse pic related?
>>316380004
It's really different. You gotta play it to see it for yourself, but I'll try to explain.
You don't order units from buildings in this game like they have cloning factories installed in them, instead you have peasant huts that constantly spawn peasants. Then you send these peasants to train in buildings of your choice. If you send a peasant to train in a Dojo you'll get a Spearman. If you send a Peasant to a Targeting Range, you'll get an Archer. You can also combine different units trained in different buildings, for example if you send an Archer into a Chemist's Hut you'll get a Cannoneer, but if you send a Spearman in there you'll get a Kabuki Warrior. All units got unique upgrades and abilities, they can all ride horses that you have to find and tame.
Also the game has really unique weabooish artstyle and setting, 4 clans that are all pretty cool and different. All animations are well done and units in melee actually look like they are duelling instead of standing in place and swinging at each other.
It's just a good game.
>>316379970
>the units
I can't be bothered to link any of the shit units that were both in the game and already posted in this thread
>>316380721
>All that concept art.
Can you imagine how the game would've looked if made today?
Also, are there even any other RTS games with spawning mechanics aside from BR and Cossacks 2?

>>316380721
>All animations are well done and units in melee actually look like they are duelling instead of standing in place and swinging at each other
This, a thousand times this, the fact that every unit has at least three different melee animations coupled with the fact how fast they move just make it more enjoyable.
>>316379970
yea I read that C&C 3 should have ended the series.
Tiberian Dawn just brings back so many memories.
Really love the artstyle of that game. graphics dont look dated at all and the animations are great.
Ive been playing it multiplayer a lot. big community for it.

Submarine titans sounds awesome anon, will definitely try them both. Any other recommendations? Seeing a lot of cool games today. I love not seeing the same mainstream shit all the time. Hidden gems are the best, no one talks about things like puppeteer or black knight sword and I just happened upon them and loved them.
>>316383748I'm actually talking about SloveniaThe only other level that is set here is in CoD, because the developers were fascinated by our partisans in WW II
>>316384370
well, slovenia is nice too, would like to visit some day.
>>316384240
Making very obvious poke, but try Cossacks, historical shit with actual thousands of units on the battlefieldif I remember correctly last expansion of Cossacks 1 supports up to 17k unitsalso if you want something really niche try Perimeter, it uses pretty neat terraforming mechanic and uses it as a huge part of the game, also it was made by russians and it's actually a prequel to their other game: Vangers which ispsychodelic open world arcade racing game with mix of quest made on voxel engine from 1998another one time experience.
I just checked this mental omega mod, and while it sounds fucking great, the lack of savegames absolutely kills it
I just want to chill while playing some long skirmishes
>>316384240
Kohan and Spellforce.
Both first games in the series.
The former essentially birthed the squad system that was used in DoW and CoH.
The latter is just a great example of those cross-genre games.
>>316384862
Just don't ever ever think of getting or playing perimeter 2. I hope I was the only fuckhead stupid enough to buy that game. First one is indeed interesting, but I don't think there's enough to it to make it worth purchasing.
>>316385181
>perimeter 2
There was a sequel?
What should I play?
C&C
Battle Realms
Supreme Commander

>>316383784
Nice.
>>316386273
M.A.X. series if you have the time. They are on GOG.
>>316386273
Go for C&C to honour this thread, then play some Battle Realms.
Just play Act of Aggression and move on people
>>316369036
Gens, RA3 and C&C3 were at the very least decent, and I'd argue that Z:H had better gameplay than any Westwood C&C. EA only really dropped the ball with C&C4.
So yeah, I do. I was really pissed off when they cancelled the new one. They made a new studio and all just to kill it mid development, it was just sad.
>>316386981
>kill it mid development
sounds familiar
Generals +ZH is objectively the best CnC game.
>>316386898
MEDIOCRE
Which is the worst verdict for a game. It's not bad enough to hate, but sure as hell not good enough to love.
>>316387625
CnC was a mediocre series outside of Generals and maybe RA2 anyway.

>>316388458
>They didn't even bother to make a real ending.

The voice actors in that game annoy the shit out of me. They will make a unit that's identical to another C&C unit. Give it the same name and quotes and just do their own shittier voice over.
The campaign missions in it are primarily the worst kinds. No base building and you micro a small amount of units.
>>316374024
You didn't have to change the key for Mental Omega to avoid the LAN issue, the mod fixes it.

Summer 2001 I'm 13 years old.
After my birthday I collect enough money to buy myself some 5.1 speakers and Soundblaster Live! sound card.
A guy I know recommends me the game.
I start it up. HOLY FUCK. I literally felt like I was underwater. This was 10/10 fucking immersion. My fucking god the ambient effects in the game were so stunning.
I still hope from time to time that someone would make a quality 3D Submarine Titans game...
Imagine what one could do with Unity or Unreal engine with an underwater RTS game...
Also before Submarine Titans I t hink the best Nuke I saw in game was Red Alert 2 but damn did Submarine Titans White Shark Nuke blow every other nuke ever in any game away.

The Tiberian Sun era of the franchise makes for crazy franchise potential.
There's just something uneasy and gorgeously wonderful looking at a field of glowing green crystals infesting every corner of the human civilization knowing that this will be the death on mankind as you know it.
The person who created fatal green alien crystals was a genius.

What's the NOD's agenda? What are their goals?
Never played any C&C game, but I played Doom 2 mod called All Out War 2, that is based on C&C Renegade and I'm currious about the story.
This is one of those franchises where read threads like this and listen to the soundtracks and go, "shit really wanna play this". Then I look at screen shots and gameplay and never go any further.

They front as an anti western terrorist group, with support around the poor parts of the world, which in the Tiberium universe end up becoming inhospitable wastelands thanks to the Tiberium infestation.
Beyond that, you have it's leader Kane working towards various things, though it's never really revealed what. He's almost certainly the Kane in the bible, who was the first human to commit murder; though beyond that we know little about him. He might be immortal & invincible, one of many clones or an elaborate fronting for something else. Sadly with EA taking over Westwood a lot of the lore was changed, with EA finishing the C&C storyline with "Kane is an alien who just wants to go home"

Yea, it changes a couple things but ti's pretty much a modern remake of renegade multiplayer in all it's glory. I think they made some agreement with EA years ago when it was just a mod rather than stand alone game that they couldn't advertise it and it screwed them over.
>>316416645
Yes, it is good.
Best part is saturday night, when we have Pick Up Game, which is basically private match where everyone has to be on TeamSpeak, so that we can communicate way better.
Makes matches way more fun if you have organised team instead of fucktarded horde.

I never had a problem with the story, it was always how as the games progressed, the games also got goofier and more 'fan-servicey' like the 3 actresses in Red Alert, c'mon m8. Really took me outta the game, unlike Dawn and Sun which got you into it, especially Tiberian Sun but nobody liked Sun so w/e.
>>316419092
Have you tried Enemy TerritoryQuake Wars?
RenX is similar to that, with added bit of economy and base destruction.
ET:QW had something I am willing to give my left testicle for to see in RenX: building placement
You could place short range turrets, long range almost-nuke cannons, radars to get for additional information.
If RenX had something similar, it would be very close to perfect game for me.To be perfect game, it would have to also have base building and more aircraft. Basically C&C themed Savage 2.
>>316420123
Wolfenstein: ET. The game speed and shooting looked similar. I totally forgot Quake Wars was a thing, haven't played it.
