Yea, I have to agree!
C&C has this unique gift.
C&C is like the worlds longest lasting story, the history and research that was put into the originals by WW is just umbelieveable.
Later on EA bought them out as we all know, so the story came a little "EA".
IMO, Each C&C runs along this odd but understandable storyline.
So when you play one C&C game, and you have some knowledge in the C&C universe, you instantly know where along the story you are.
Sure, the order of the games that have been released in the past hasn't followed an exact order, but that, to me, is what makes a C&C.
Not only is it the "timescales" that makes me a C&C enthusiast. But the whole reality combined fiction.
For example, GDI/Allies, the good guys. VS. Nod/Soviets, the bad guys.
In real life there aren't a GDI and a Nod, but there are the armys of war!
I mean okay, the armys of today don't have the Obi's, Hover MRLS, Stealth Tank (the C&C extent) and all of that. But thats what makes it C&C! Making real life combined true fiction.
It just has that essence, that idea, that plot which makes you gasping for more.
Personally, C&C: RA1 & 2, I have never really liked to play, but I do enjoy the plots each of them brings.
Will RA3 be revised?
Will RA3 be FUBAR?
Will RA3 be like other EA games with funny characters?
Nobody other than EA Developers can comment on that.
So for now, I think it isn't the right time to say EA are going to screw it up!!!
You think I'm mad for saying that?
Personally I do too, but you cannot live life making thoughts before they have come into light.
Maybe, this is only a maybe (on the scale of 3 / 10) EA could have sat down and said, okay, whats gone wrong in the past, what do we do to resolve it?
There could be a chance EA (please notice the word could) take this into consideration and attempt to fix C&C.
Even if they don't "fix" C&C, and they bring out something within our thoughts and out of this world. As long as it has a C&C title, it will sell.
It will still be another chapter to the C&C storyline/universe.
If you think I'm mad for saying the above and you feel I'm wrong.
In your eyes I could be wrong, but, that is the way I feel about C&C.
C&C was my first game for my first personal games console (PS1).
C&C has been around in my life for a very long time and within the past year or 2, I have really got into it even more than I did.
Other games just cannot reach the level of Command & Conquer IMO.
There is no background, nothing as much intense as a C&C game.
That is my whole opinion and nothing more.
No facts are stated in the above.
Cheers for reading guys.
Asleep yet?
Sorry 
Once I start, I can't stop

C&C isn't just any game.. it changed the way of my life and interests.
|
Same thing here.
It may be just a game, but its completly changed my life. Before i was introduced to C&C oo so many years ago my goals were to be something average like a doctor or lawyer something. i didn't know shit about computers, now look at me, im A+ certified and will be CISCO at the end of next year when im done with teh course. I now want to be a photo fixer (Photoshop edits and such for old photos) SOmething with gfx on side and as my main job an Computer "Security" (Hax0r) for the Army.
|
Yea, speaking of which.
If it wasn't for C&C: Renegade
I wouldn't be where I am today.
I have made friends with many people accross the net,
Learned new skills in 3d design.
Learned some graphic design.
Learned Web Design ( a C&C based site )
Got into more advanced levels of computing.
Almost completed a 18 month college course which involves getting an A+ in Maintaining Hardware & Supporting System operation (hardware & Software), Customer Support, Networking, Communication skills, Maths.
I wouldn't be as inspired to the whole computing industry if it wasn't for C&C IMO.
It has been a long hobby and a fun journey.

It's real. It's also an indication to me that the C&C Universe... the intellectual property of EA... is now in serious trouble. Who knows what kind of crap those execs will spit out in the next cycle of C&C games. Red Alert was made by all those involved on this last RTS LOTR... Skaggs, Bonin, Browder... they handled RA ok... but having the C&C Universe in their hands is a frightening thing. I hope it's not ruined forever.

You act as if it's a matter of life or death. It's a fucking computer game. Get over yourself.
|
Class act fucko. You wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Too much anger for one person.

I may have been a bit rash when I said that it was just a stupid computer game and I'm sorry for that, but I've just about had it with some of you people.
"Man, I wish EA would make a new C&C game."
*E-mail comes out confirming new C&C game*
"Oh fuck no! EA's making a new C&C! They're gonna ruin the whole thing!"
Do you see what I'm getting at? You people practically beg for a new game but then cry as if your mom died when they are finally making one. That kind of thing automatically makes you a retard in my book.
|
I'm not like that. I don't want C&C to end, but I don't want EA to take over it. I'd rather see a saga end rather than have it continue only to be tarnished, like when Michael Jordan came back to basketball after retiring for a second time.

These are the same people who bitch that EA/Westwood doesn't patch Renegade anymore, then we (BHS) make a patch and they bitch at the new "features" even though they are what Westwood intended in the first place but didn't work because of bugs.
I'm the bawss.

FFS, stop whining and just wait and see what happens.
I'm sorry, but this is pathetic, just give them a chance and then you can bitch all you want. The only C&C game they've screwed up on was Generals, and Generals was started by Westwood. EA Games has never tried starting an original C&C game (in the Tiberian Universe) until now. So it's retarded to say "EA WILL KILL ALL C&C GAMES THEY MAKE".

Hum, dude... They're working on Red Alert 3... Which... Technically should be before the Tiberium meteor hit the planet.
I suck cock and love it... absolutely love it. And I just got banned for being too immature to be allowed to post here.

Don't confuse EA Pacific (formerly a Westwood "studio" - WAY BACK) with Westwood Studios - LV. The core of C&C is in Las Vegas... still is too if you talk about the people who made it happen (except for Brett who is in Laguna). Pacific Westwood (Irvine) was run by Mark Skaggs and he was doing his own thing down there for the most part... EA bought it all up at the end of '98 if memory serves... and then pacific was solely an EA Irvine studio... Westwood and Irvine were not really doing much together anymore after '99. Red Alert was made and you hardly heard much about it at home here in Vegas. Tiberian Sun was the last C&C title out of Las Vegas & the real Westwood and all the other C&C titles are bogus as far as I'm concerned.
It's just a game though.

As far as I know, all C&C games were technically classified in the Tiberian Universe.
|
The whole series excluding Generals = C&C Universe.
Pre-meteor semi-universe: Tiberian Universe.
Post-meteor semi-universe: Red Alert Universe.

December 06, 2004 - You may be aware that the Command & Conquer games have a newsletter to, well, keep fanboys updated on the series. What you may not be aware of is that Mark Skaggs, Vice Assrammer and Executive Cocksucker over at EA, dropped a shit on the email list by announcing another game set in the Red Alert universe, as reported by our mindless slaves over at PlanetCNC. And an exclusive newsletter announcement that stayed exclusive for approximately three and half seconds, Mr. Skaggs had this to say, in part:
"...We have a MINOR announcement to make and we are making it non-exclusively to our short time BFME fans. This announcement is going out to the press and it will appear on the EA website or anywhere else offline. We are very ashamed to announce that the team that brought you Command & Conquer(TM) Red Alert 2(TM), Command & Conquer(TM) Yuri's Pathetic Revenge, and Command & Conquer(TM) OMGANTHRAXXX has officially started work on our next project set in the (totally made up) Red Alert universe!"
We'll have more info as the story develops. Let's just hope it's not a sequel to Renegade.
This message has been edited by me... Why? Because I'm extremely bored.
