I always liked C&C T, But I still want the develpers to give more info on how it is connceted to red alert

I'm waiting till it's on 360 before I consider paying for it, if they never release it for 360 I'll just torrent it. Why pay for something I'll play once, at least on 360 I can play it without hating the controls. M/KB bugs the crap out of me for gaming.

@Kujel

An RTS on 360? HAHA!!! There wont be another RTS on 360 after Halo Wars, and if there is, it will be using mouse and keyboard.

 

[Smashington]

lol @ kujel. Who plays RTS's on console? You'll lose more than half of your controls. Stick to your bland FPS's and beat em ups.

Oh noes we don't have enough buttons for lean = Game isn't balanced for lean. LAWL

@Cyborgstalker911: Storm Rise was released after Halo Wars and so was RA3, comment fail.
@Smashington: On 360 I have all the controls at my finger tips thanks to the radial menu, with PC I have to hunt for keys on the keyboard, why bother when the radial menu does it better.
PC fanboys always get their nickers in a knot when someone suggests RTS on consoles.

@kujel

Yeah that radial menu works great until you actually have to select a unit or do anything requiring precision. There's a reason Halo Wars made you build everything in a pre-selected location.

@Tucker004: maybe if you have shit motor skills.

 

[Tucker004]

you're an idiot. and you didn't even try to actually mention my argument. why does halo wars only let you put buildings in pre-determined locations? because a joystick is clumsy and inaccurate! why do developers make the cursor automatically stick to units in console RTS's? because the joystick is inaccurate. get over it.

 

[legacyAccount]

@Tucker004: Halo Wars does it that way for game play style but just about every other RTS does it the more classic way.

 

[punisherfrosty]

sadly, there isnt any other modes to play in this game, only domination.

no old style gathering, base building or anything like that. you just build units walk around shoot and up grade and repeat it all over again. so cnc is far from what it should be currently. I had pre ordered it, I cancanceled and put my money on sc2.

 

[RealLion]

I played the new beta ,the game is good and actually it is more fun than playing c&c3.

 

[NachoCupONoodles]

C&C is dead. Please just let it rest in peace.

 

[Revrant]

Not hard to beat C&C 3, it was one of the worst RTSes in a while from a design standpoint, they dumbed it down into a 'rush rush rush the tanks' game.

Sad too, they had hit a high point with BfME2, and again with Red Alert 3, the rush game was gone from each of those, building one unit meant nothing.

C&C 3? Buncha tanks and wipe everyone out, over.

 

[LordOfClodhopper]

The reason they opened this up to the public is becasue there wasn't that many people playing the online beta. the most i have seen online at once was about 58 people.

The one thing I hate about this is the lvl system. You can not in any way defeat someone thats a higher lvl than you.

 

[mezz85]

LOL he said RTS on console..

 

[mezz85]

@ kujel

You're talking about bad motor skills when you can't even memorize what buttons your hands are supposed to press on a keyboard?

Ur bad.

 

[punisherfrosty]

whats a joke is that they dont offer anything different. its only domincation, nothing else. I man the mode is fun and all but it makes the game seem like its completely lacking over all. no buildings, nothing what so ever.

they could have had both mobile mcv and a base. how? well every time you advance in rank or even in lvl in the game you would open up another add on for your mobile mcv. (mcv is portable base) they could have done a ton of things, but they didnt. sucks that i have to wait for sc2 now that cnc 4 sorta took a dive.

rest in peace

 

[Higgy4tw]

Yeah I hope this is different than. Whoever builds the most tanks wins.
