Someone should build a mini C&C gold and we should all play it on WOL if it works. I'm sure we could mod it so it work anyway.
If only I could find my C&C gold discs...

In the Jobssection however, they are looking for a Game Programmer with "PC Real-Time Strategy game programming experience a plus". This could be any RTS, however.
|
Who knows, maybe they are making Starcraft 2. That's also an AAA title RTS.
Size doesn't matter.

C&C Gold won't work online if you use XP. If we could get around this, then I'm all for it. (BTW, WOL does still work.)

Yeah it does work on winxp with the dll patches. Also you can play on "wol" with wwchat update.
I found the C&C gold box and 1 CD  One step closer to finding the other CD. You can strip all the videos from the game and other non essential files to bring it down to a downloadable size like mini RA.

I said that is wouldn't work online if you used xp. If you patch the DLL single player works fine, but not multiplayer.

Hell, mine won't work on XP at all...*tries patch*
I wouldn't trust EA with another C&C game. The simple reason is that they like to produce games that have lots of eye candy, and very little gameplay. After RA2 came out, the series went downhill from there...the campaign got so incredibly simple that you could beat it on hard mode between lunch and dinner. With fewer missions in Generals, I'd expect the game to take even less time to finish (having never tried the full game- only the demo, which I promptly stuck in "file 13").
If another C&C comes out under the EA banner, and it follows the ORIGINAL story, I MIGHT buy it. But only after the price drops to around $20, and only after trying the demo. And only, of course, if it follows the same gameplay as the first three games did(SIDEbar, damn you! This isn't Starcraft!), and has those nice live action briefings...Wishful thinking.
"Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. Horrid mischief would ensue were (the law-abiding) deprived of the use of them." - Thomas Paine
Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.

I think that AAA part is an error.
Otherwise there yould be "an" in front of it instead of "a", and also AAA isn't a genre of game, and it makes more sense when you take it out. They said they would not releasy any details also.
And also just because it said on PCNC that Petroglyph might have some involvement in C&C:3 because some of the WS staff moved on to work at Petroglyph doesn't at all mean that they are making it. For all we know they could be producing a Barney the dinosaur game.

Because they want to make C&C: General Sims' Need for Speed.
"C&C, The Sims and Need for Speed game all in one pack? We're going to be richer than Bill Gates!"
|
Lol - yeah they destroyed C&C, NFS, and from what people say, the Sims series (I haven't played any recent Sim game).
C&C Generals has no story and has little to do with C&C, NFS 6 (Hot Pursuit 2) is utterly pathetic, at least the PC version, NFS 7 (Underground) has a few, but major, damaging points, like pathetic online play and no built-in LAN support (without mods). EA has said that the next NFS will "combine all prior Need for Speed's" - what that means, I don't know, but I don't expect anything good out of them. The next C&C - they might as well make Command & Conquer Racing - woohoo race your Humvees, Nod Buggies, and Tanks across the field - because I don't expect the next C&C to be much better than that...

Well if you want to race the vehicles from in the game like that then buy Halo.

There were a total of 15 missions in generals right? That's 5 per faction which I found surprising when I got to the end so abruptly.
And C&C gold works on the internet on XP. Had a try myself. And if it came down to it we could make our own gaming service. It's been done before in other games.
Never sit on your katana, It'll give you a very sore ass indeed.

Install the XP patch. Then right click on CNC95.EXE, then properties, then go to the compatibility tab.
Make sure you run it in compatibility mode for Win95, 98/Me or 2000. Then try playing the game. If that doesn't work, make sure the following three boxes ae checked and then run the game.

Well yes westwood is dead but not completely, some of the employees from westwood chose to move into a larger studio with EA pacific, in Los Angeles. The others that didn't choose to go simply quit, like Joseph Kucan (Kane)
I think it was EA pacific that made Generals, but im pretty sure they r not gonna make another generals, well i sure hope not. Sure it was a good game, but i also have many reasons to hate it.
As for the next C&C , well it could either be
Renegade 2
or mostly likely one of these 2:
Tiberian Twilight or Red Alert 3.
I don't know if any of u guys remember one of the many polls westwood had at there site (b4 it went down, (Evil EA)). It was about 2½ to 3 years ago. They had a poll asking what you what is the next c&c u want to see
tiberian twilight or ra3. (More people voted for ra3).
Unless EAvil want to make something completely off like generals, hopefully it is onoe of those 2 or both.
As for C&C95 i still play that online as i do my other c&cs. But i know for a fact that u cannot get c&c95 on XP to work on westwood online, by that i mean to actually start a game wif someone, it always comes up wif an application error.You can play single player though wif tha patch. If ne one knows how please tell us all. If u want to play c&c95 and u have xp i can only give one suggestion, and that is to partition with windows 98.

I dont think any new CNC made by EA will be good, because of how corperate the world the entertainment industry has gone extremely down hill. Instead of scouting creative ideas and people, they just look for a winning formula for cookie-cutter entertainment. Boy bands, blonde female vocalists, reality shows, movies about comic books and sequals to older movies. Games about WW2 and being a sniper in a covert operation squad. This makes money, and I want to tell people to stop buying this shit because they are just lengthening the cycle. The movie industry just hires a team of people to make a comic book into a movie, and its just so much easier than actually thinking. EA operates exactly this way. Anything creative could bomb, so just play it safe, and people will look at the cover and buy it.

yeah it will definately be 3D I dont think there is any debate about that, as for the storyline... who knows. Even Westwood kinda screwed up the storyline for Tiberian Sun a little, especially in Firestorm with that giant robot at the end of GDI Campaigne...wow it was like Power Rangers. Hopefully EA will let Sperry run the show, because he created C&C and he can do whatever he wants with it.

It's called compatibility mode, n00b. As for C&C3, it's safe to say it will be a while. I pray EA doesn't take the liberty to fuck up another C&C.
Goodbye and thanks for all the games Westwood!
