I just hate the graphics engines ea make for c&c, it looks like a fisher price rts.

Except for c&c 3, that looked pretty good...but generals and red alert 3 look hilarious.

I played one game of red alert 3 online, this guy rushed me with these spiders that clung onto my units and gradually zapped them.

Never again.

Hopefull that will change with the newer C&C games.

EA hired an entirely new team and there is a new website so we may see a better C&C in the future.

Chronosphere would be handy right now.

Now they just need a Dune 2 mod for it...

Kosmiche · 24 Sep 2011 at 13:27

Actually C&C 4 purely on a graphical basis looks alright, but godawful game apparently.

New C&C website run by Victory Games

It's not exactly brand spanking new but it's newer than RA3 or C&C4.

Victory Games seem to be taken a lot of interest in community opinions and had a battle of the C&C games to see what were people's favourite one.

I bet it will be present day warfare with no sci fi schtick to appeal to the cod kiddies.

LeJosh · 24 Sep 2011 at 13:34

Red Alert 1 in the 90s was modern warfare but with experimental military weapons.

Or so westwood claimed.

Haha Fisher price RTS. Couldn't have put it better myself! Does look really crap IMO.

Anyone know of any decent mods of RA2?

I've got a hankering to install it and play it again but its a little too familiar now. Got Yuri's add-on too.

I've found how to get it to work now.

In Steam, right click on RA3, go to properties, set launch options, and enter: -ui

Go to game browser, then Mods tabs, and you'll see the mod there.

OMG this looks amazing! Now I just need to buy RA3!

Vulcan · 24 Sep 2011 at 15:52

So I just play an easy enemy.

The made several hundred Rocket Men, some left the base occasionally, bust most stayed in the base which I didn't know about. I rolled in there with about 20 Mammoths plus 10 or so V2s and Tesla Tanks and got completely mauled.

LeJosh · 24 Sep 2011 at 15:55

Why did you fight rocket men with tanks? lol

They were always hard as nails to kill with tanks back in the day.

Edrof · 24 Sep 2011 at 16:07

Someone needs to do this kind of thing for Dungeon Keeper!

I didn't know they were there. Tesla Tanks are good vs infantry, but they don't seem to work when they are moving.

Anyway, I'm not convinced with the mod so far, I would rather just play Red Alert, with all it flaws.

I remember tesla tanks being good on infantry but insanely weak to them at the same time.

It would take more than a mod, even of this calibre, to sort out C&C 4
