This is the first C&C game I won't be buying. Not unless nothing else comes out for the rest of the year or something!

I've been a fan of the C&C franchise in general since the first Red Alert title, but after hearing some really (really) terrible things about this game I figured I would wait and weigh up public opinion before deciding whether to buy it. With that in mind, I've been keeping an eye on the metacritic user score since release (it currently stands at 3.1), and the overall response of buyers who've reviewed it so far has been so funny I just have to post a condensed summary:
OK perhaps I'll take a pass on this one then

Was rather looking forward to this game after playing C&C3 to death, but no base building is fail.
I have really given this game a chance and persevered to like it.
The result I'm afriad is that C&C 4 has to be not only the worst of the whole series but probably one of the worst RTS games ever released!
I have now uninstalled it ......what a truly awful game!

I bought it just to see for myself and sadly all the reviews and current opinions are spot on.
While it might be fun to play online after a while, it's not C&C. It's some odd DoW2 clone with the C&C brand tacked onto it.
Fail. They just keep getting worse. All they needed to do was take C&C3, bump the GFX, add new bits and fix the problems.
The only plus side I can think of is that it looks very pretty.

Oh dear, looks like the major publishers have really screwed-up the PC this time. First they kill Empire Total War, then Supreme Commander 2, now they kill CnC. I really love rts but I have the impression that the publishers are forcing rts to be console compatible in a bid to break from PC. DAMN YOU PUBLISHERS! DAMN YOU!!
Well i just finished both gdi and nod campaigns and dear god what an awful game i don't know what i done to deserve this but it must have been bad.
If you haven't got it yet avoid this game at all costs and i hoped the day would never come when i said that about a C&C game

Mines up for sale after playing it once!
The worst thing about it, is there IS a market for the game as it WAS with Red Alert 2.
I hate every single RTS other than the early C&C games up to RA2 (and Generals is good even though its not really c&c as such).
But I hated Starcraft, TA, Supreme Commander, DOW etc I just don't like those games at all, so EA had a chance to make a DIFFERENT game to those, instead they copy, and fail even doing that.
So frustrating to have to keep playing a game that is several years old simply because EA are incapable of making a decent C&C game.
Depressingly, didn't Westwood re-form as Petroglyph? And then make a shocking rts game???

It wasn't all of Westwood, but some of them yes. They made Star Wars: Empire at War, which wasn't that bad.
Nothing as good as the old days though.
Yep They actually did a decent job with the space combat, but land battles were very poor unfortunately. Still worth getting your mitts on if you see it cheap.
The C&C games have been my favorite series of all the games ive played, even C&C3 was passable, the online gameplay with my mates saved it.
But wtf were they thinking with this? No base building, no havesting
I was really hoping for back to basic's game, smaller structures (they have gotten out of hand) ala Tib Sun, Walls, we need our walls back! and then incorparating the new features that do work, ie; upgrading the Avatar whilst sacrificing ur own units.
Damn im really gutted, i pre-ordered as i always do, loaded it up on Friday, played it for an hour and not touched it since
No doubt i will go back and finish it, but it was not what id hoped for.
