Command & Conquer 4K remaster coming

Be interesting on hearing how competitive the remaster is vs Openra @Guest2

I know CnCnet have a lot of competitive games.

I'll pick the remaster up at some point. The leaderboard is nice to have.

I've only had 2 games so far, first lost 2nd (just now) won.
It seems quite different to OpenRA / RAGL but I do not play a pro level, only spec some of the pros. It seems less tactical but very fun in a different way.

Some of the pros I have already seen playing the remaster and seems more fun to watch for some reason. I specced a couple of games where Ganon was playing (original C&C) The zoom level (close) and lack of waypoints means a lot more unit control is required
It would certainly be fun to watch a remaster pro league of the best OpenRA players - Happy, Orb, Ganon, Antarctica, Medium tank, Comrat, 9, .1, Layer, Jur, Bain, FiveAces, McAfee. Those are the people that come to mind anyway

Edit - Do factions have the increased stats in the remaster? e.g. +10% power for Germany

Working through Covert Ops as GDI as finished the original GDI missions, forgot how difficult some of them are

This is down to £15.29 in the Steam sale. Tempting...

Id say it's worth that. 1v1 ladder is fun and does actually find games now in the lobby, so all good

Yeah i was about to post that video, so the AI has indeed been changed like I thought, they now using red alert AI in tiberium dawn.

Surely you guys recognise Red Alert 2 a the greatest of all these games?

Or am I wrong?

(I only played RA2 (CNC Generals and Dune))

Wrong. Red Alert 1. C&C I didnt get on with that much, Dune I was a bit young (1992?) and Generals was ok

RA2 is crap. Lame ass cartoon graphics and stupid units like flying saucers and giant squids.

That's EA for you.

Similar could be said about the Shock Trooper, Tesla Tank, Iron Curtain, Chrono Tank or Chronosphere.

A reason to stick to infantry, tanks, planes, helis and the atom bomb

Maybe, but you'd still have shock troopers, tesla tanks and chrono tanks.

Turn off aftermath units in RA, then you don’t. Chrono tanks you do unfortunately.
That’s one if the reasons i loved (love) Redalert. More realistic units.
Same with settlers, age of empires and a few other rts games

Been playing this, had all the originals, having a blast with the simple mechanics and the late game frantic pace

Remake Dune please in time for the new film release. I loved that game when it came out in the 90's!
