Another genius move by EA.
Renegade wasnt that bad, people make it seem bad by it not following in the series tradtion of being a real time strategy. If you take the game on its own, it was fun, graphics were nice(at the time) and it was overall a pretty decent game.
This could be good, C&C:3 was a let down to me personally, hopefully this will a good successor to Renegade, because lets be honest, C&C needs something new, last few games have just been the same thing, over and over again. C&C:3 was pretty much Generals with new unit skins.

omg, FUCKING FINALLY!
No battleracer sequel I take it? Or would Ea just hire them to do it?SharkyMcshark wrote:

This seems similar to when they made WoW....they are never going to have another warcraft game ever again....and probably never a RTS CC....

That will pretty much kill C&C as it used to be
"...and promises a mix of tactical action and gunplay..."
C&C is tactical now?

Please just make another Zero Hour...

Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me
I actually kinda liked that game... shame the AI was so terrible.FloppY_ wrote:

Don't knock the C&C FPS, people. Renegade wasn't actually that bad. The campaign was better than some games I've played (AI was a bit easy, though), and the multiplayer component was actually fun. I'm for EA's decision to bump out another. It's not going to detract from another C&C RTS any more than Renegade did.
When Blizzard saw the money in Wow they stopped making Warcraft games. Now EA will stop making C&C RTS? What the hell is wrong with games companies? I mean, this year there were great games out, but what about another warcraft? The RTS genre is being left behind for more profitable games.
I doubt it. Every Warcraft game featured different sorts of visuals. II was an definite upgrade of I, while III added a non-cinematic 3D component. WoW, on the other hand, borrows much from III in that regard. Now, with Starcraft II on the way (see guys, it's not Worlds of Starcraft), it shouldn't be too many years before we see Warcraft IV, if you really need that fix.sergeriver wrote:

Don't think for one moment that the RTS is being left behind. We've got CoH: Opposing Fronts, the Supreme Commander expansion and World in Conflict. An expansion for C&C3's due out January with Tom Clancy's EndWar following the month after. Halo Wars will give the X360 people something to chew on, and Spore will come out shortly after. Dawn of War isn't done yet, with the Soulstorm expansion in the works for 2008, and rumors for DoW2 are circulating. Star Trek: Conquest (not 2000's ConQuest Online) is an opportunity for the franchise to make up for Legacy's flop, and in other areas of strategy are Hell Tycoon and Sid Meyer's Civilization Revolution.
And, though some people might be missing it, the FPS and RTS genres are slowly combining. Savage is a noteworthy example which was unfairly snubbed for a lack of single player. One player would assume the role of commander, ordering workers around and setting up defensive and research buildings, while a the rest would fight along with designated infantry officers. Savage 2 and, I believe, Project Offset (designed by the same people who worked on Savage) will continue this tradition.
Savage is now freeware, but the majority of the playerbase has moved to a mod. Those wishing to give an 80-player game a shot, go to http://www.notforidiots.com/SFE/ and download a Standalone version.

The COH series is great, but Supreme Commander is too shitty IMO. I hope you are right and after the huge success that Starcraft 2 should be, they'll realize they need to make a fourth Warcraft game.unnamednewbie13 wrote:

Supreme Commander's main fault lay in its instability with most users' computers, particularly online, turning an already somewhat slow-paced game into a grinding, choppy wreck. This pretty much precluded the enormous battles for which the game was meant for. I don't know if they've patched it up or not, but the one thing it did have going for it was an awesome control scheme with cool features like coordinated attack and a visual representation of patrol paths with mouse-adjustable waypoint nodes.sergeriver wrote:

I do, it had allot of cool concepts in it and the single player wasn't short at all.FloppY_ wrote:

Hopefully CnC3 FPS will let you play as a Nod dude since GDI are fags.
And also CnC will remain mostly a RTS, beleive me they won't go fully into FPS, they'll just make this one game as they realize the potential the CnC universe has for an FPS game.

Yeah but GDI doesn't have any girls in it. They're a big sausage fest. Nod as the girl commando in the tight leather.unnamednewbie13 wrote:

Didn't play any other c&c game apart from the original and red alert 1 and 2.
