Most of the C&C4 Dev team were fired when this went Gold, says a lot really...

Was that the mission where you first got the top-class Alliance tanks, yet they were too slow and got missile infantry-spammed to death whenever they tried to move out of your base? Or did I not even get to that level?

I've no idea, it was too long ago. I could be thinking of Tiberium Wars (i've lost track of which C&C is what now tbh). I do remember getting wasted several times on 1 mission while trying to play tactically, then on the 4th attempt i spammed Engineers and Saboteurs and suicide rushed the big units with the demo units and stole the wreckage to build myself a free army of there units.

I liked all C&C's, including C&C3, until about the 6th or so patch which ruined it. I got fed up with each patch altering the game so dramatically so i gave up on the game. Only played Kanes Wrath for the story.

Totally avoided RA3 as it looked hideous imo.

After reading how C&C4 was nothing like a cnc game i was really put off, yet still wanted to play it for the story which is usually good. After reading this I definatly wont!

I agree on this, I played some serious online/skirmish hours on zero hour. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

No building bases = rubbish game

anyone got the TLDR?

Swear use of that was a suspendable offence.

Did anyone else notice that the GDI missions on normal were stupidly easy while the same difficulty for NOD was quite difficult?

Really didn't enjoy the game.

May reinstalled RA2 and Generals again, maybe try and find some decent mods for them.

I think the generals hate comes from the fact it was the first game c and c game made by ea, a lot of people felt they spoiled it.

But i enjoyed both games and still play zero hour today, its still quite popular online. I like the way the units was quite realistic and not too over the top.

It still looks decent if you turn your resultion up in the setting file.

I really wanted another generals game in a simalir mould but one that had a bit more blance and had sea units and one that had a british and russain armys.
