Reportly EA has axed Tiberium, but is it true or not, have to wait till EA announces it themselfs.

So seems like EA is fail again.

Thrash300 axes E.A.! o.O

Actually a good friend of me linked this to the credit crisis and that doesn't seem far fetched. EA surely needs to loan money during the development period?

You're probably right, EA knew if this game sucked it would backlash, So they probably poured more money into development and got more devs in before America's economy started to fall. (Thnx, American financial district!)

Presence is a curious thing, if you think you need to prove it... you probably never had it in the first place.

actualy goztow means that they can't even get a loan to start with
means no money to develop the game
means no game

i personally am not to sad about this
never liked the idea of a 'modern' renegade that looks like battlefield (i don't like battlefield)
capturing tiberium to win, is just like capturing a flag to win
why play tiberium then if u can play battlefield?

anyway, reading all the posts about how E.A. sucks, im glad to announce that some people are already modifying Crysis Wars (Crysis2) to a Renegade style.
meaning:
Crysis has almost the same gamemodes as Renegade has and there is a way to implement C&C into the game instead of camping near a building to abtain it.
so basicly.. just wait

Renegade X is pretty much our hope for a better Renegade. That's not what I'm upset about.

The thing that sucks, is that it looked great. The fact that you'd be able to command troops, the fact that it looked awesome (Visually), and many other things made me want it. But now it's canceled.

Man, this is like, the fifth thing C&C-wise EA has fucked up (Killing Westwood, killing Renegade 2, killing any plans of Continuum, C&C3, and now this).

Oh...you have those domains...maybe EA should reimburse you...(nah, kidding).

Low quality Tiberium...perhaps EA saw RenegadeX and realised that a bunch of modders had beaten them in so many ways...I wonder what their bemchmark is though.

As long as there are two people in the game willing to play each other, the game is alive.

The amount of players means nothing, just as it is above 2.

More like a couple thousand of people per day. Renguard statistics say 1060 players have logged into their network in the past 24 hours, and most people don't even use Renguard anymore. And it's in the middle of the week.

Also doesn't include the amount of people who play the game, but not necessarily every day.

For a six and a half year old game that received mediocre ratings and poor advertising, a couple thousand players per day and a thriving community (total conversion mods, unofficial patches, community anti-cheat systems, scripts, dozens of servers and sub-communities) is extraordinary.

--------

Tiberium being canceled was expected. The really long news drought, Red Alert 3 dominating the news, lack of a C&C mode, huge lack of interest in the game, the announcement of the game being delayed, the community manager quit.
