Command & Conquer

[G.K.]

I know SSG made a thread about Zero Hour in '08, but this can talk about the whole series. If you just want to talk about HM2, that's fine.

I need to sleep soon, so I'll be posting later.

RA2 and RA3 are my favourites. RA3 with the C&C Reatarded: Red Cocaine mod. As the creator of that mod said: Its so unbalanced that its actually balanced! Just look at the cids on that page and you will see what I mean.

[G.K.]

I've never gotten round to buying RA3 for whatever reason. I love RA2, Firestorm and Renegade though.

[Naryar]

Generals ftw.

Edit: Yeah you're right Pwn :P

[Pwnator]

Hehehe. What I always do is strategically place Dragon Tanks around my base and constantly apply flames around it, with 3 Gatling tanks, a bunker and a Radar Tower supporting it. Then I buy enough hackers and spam Gatling Tanks and win. XD

CHINAAAAAAAA <3

[somestrangeguy]

My favourite in Generals was the Laz0r General, because the lasers are effective against everything.
Then second would be China Tank General, Emperor spam FTW!
3rd is normal GLA, Rocket Buggies GO!

[G.K.]

I don't play Generals much, but I spam dragons and emperors, add in a few portable nukes and attack.

What is CnC exactly? Like the Civilization series?

[G.K.]

It's Real time, not Turn based.

[Reier]

So like a MMOLG Civilization? Kewl.

[somestrangeguy]

Not really MMO, there is a max amout of players that can be on at a time in a server. Generals and RA2 have 8 and RA3 has 6, this includes spectators too.

Tough I think I would enjoy a game of RA2 with some people, thats one game I havent played in years and the only one I have been able to play in LAN agaisnt is my closest freind.

Not really fun matches because he always wanted to first exhaust the map resouces, then he allowed both to commit attack, this always caused some serious lag. 50 Kirovs and a whole lot of everything else anyone?

[G.K.]

Spamming Kirovs FTW!

For some reason I always found myself playing as Yuri. Perhaps it was the mind control.

I've played Red Alert, Tiberian Sun+Firestorm, RA2+Yuri's Revenge, and Tiberium Wars.  Wish I could play RA3 but there are more games in existence that I want to play than I have time for.

Have to say I liked Tiberian Sun the best, on account of how much replay value I got out of that game.  Plus it had a really easy-to-use level editor, and you could use either of the two CD's it came with to play, so me and Firebeetle could do LAN battles (we couldn't do that with any of the newer games without buying a second copy, plus one of the two computers we used would always be too slow to run the game).  Good times.

Not too much focus on superweapons in Tiberian Sun either.  You have to worry about multi-missiles and ion cannons and that's it, and multi-missiles could be blocked by Firestorm walls.

Just don't forget to pave your base and build walls around your important buildings!  (dang subterranean engineer squads)


Heheh, I remember a custom level I made that had a huge field of blue tiberium in the middle that you had to cross in order to reach your opponent's base.  One stray shot out there, and the whole thing goes up in an unstoppable chain reaction.  I was disappointed when blue tiberium wasn't explosive in Tiberium Wars.

Apparently I am the only one that gives love to the first one.  Man I loved that game, it was the only C&C game I played. It was so challenging and innovative when it came out.  I had to balance my time between that and Myth. Both of them were insanely addictive.

[G.K.]

I've never played it.

[Doomkiller]

I remeber playing one on this PS1. Forget which one it was though, all I can remeber is dunes :P

[G.K.]

Dune Buggies? Probably Tiberian Sun then.

[Doomkiller]

No, I mean another game like command and conquer on the ps1 called dunes.

It was heaps fun :)

Dear god, I hate those.
