I don't want wacky and wonderful, god dammit! Give me grit! Give me RA1!

Did they finally put that back up? They launched it months ago but put it offline due to copyright problems.
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

RA1 was pretty borning and dull for me, yeah it was fun to play, but RA2 has alot more depth then RA1.
|
Are you drunk? RA2 had the depth of a pie plate
|
Too few units in RA1, everything looked crap and was just slow.
|
jesus christ... it was 1996 ffs. It probably won an award for graphics that year, or several. And who the hell ever bought a (real) C&C game for the graphics? I could care less about the graphics in an RTS game because the draw to it is for the strategy involved, not for the pretty eye lashes you see on some elf when you zoom in.

Red Alert total conversation for C&C3, looks like to me

Yeah.
Kinda funny when I was playing RenAlert, and it was way popular back then. I had a quote saying "get Renegade 2 at www.renalert.com"
People always complained about it because it was a mod and not a Renegade 2. I always replied if Westwood was to make a Renegade 2 it wouldn't be much different.
Here's the prove EA makes games based on 1 engine and then milks it out for cash flow
KA-CHING!

One thing struck my eye when skimming through the various blurbs about RA3: Co-Op campaigns.
As for the rest... EA is too addicted to superweapons, rush-happy balancing, and special abilities. I mean, come on- the Ion Cannon was supposed to be a precision-strike weapon and C&C3 turned it into a fucking nuclear death beam. Smaller units die too quickly to make a difference in battle, forcing players to have vast resource operations just to keep ahead of loss replacement, and there is almost no room at all in some newer games for small-scale tactics that require patience and micromanagement in order to pull off. Instead, everything depends on having more firepower concentrated in one place than the other guy, which in turn usually depends on either massing fucktons of units and rushing or teching up and deploying superweapons and top-tier units (also in mass quantities). I can't stand to play modern RTS head-to-head just because of how mind-fuckingly shallow the matches are. I suck horribly at them, but I don't even feel motivated to try and get better- because the 'better' you are, the shorter the matches get, and the less time you have to do the crazy, sneaky, snowball's-chance-in-hell shit that used to make RTS so much of a blast to play.
RA3 is just going to be more of the same damned thing. It might be a fun little game for a while, but will ultimately not be so memorable as its progenitors.

Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.

I have to agree with alot of what you said, all the new RTS games are just super weapon fests.
I would play RA2 more, but it crashs everytime I try to go online. :/
