Actually I can see how the RA breaking the universes could make since... and as for the foundation of GDI and Nod, check this page all the information is correct as I created it and double checked it with the manual. (I got most of the info from the manual)

as for kuncan and EA... they fired him, or he left right before the merger if I can recall correctly. I'm not sure what he has been doing since... I had a friend that met him, and I planned to do the same, however they shut down the Vegas offices when the merger took place and I was never awarded the chance. ( i was also planning on beta testing for Westwood during summer months, again denied by EA)

TD manual. Personally, I think TD's manual is more believable on the part of GDI's origin. Besides, it says that it's made as a reaction to Nod - which revealed itself in 1995.

Wait a second. In your page you wright that GDI was founded in October 12 1995, while in the TS menual there's a confidential archive that dated on Jenuary 19, 2030. Forward on there's a data on past conflicts.
I qoute: "GDI, today the most powerfull military force organization on earth, was founded 45 years ago[b] as a last act of the primary defence enitiative of the United Nations".

that in simple math means that GDI was founded in 1985[B],not 1995.
Please explain yourself.

would you like me to send you the manual... I can upload it when I get home... Its like 1 - 3 megs or something like that. I'll check the internet first to see if I can find an existing copy, so i don't have to upload mine.

[that?]

Yeh correct.
but after reading EA claim the sage is powerfull i think RA3 will be pice of crap.

[the_kid]

EA has had their name on C&C titles since RA.

EDIT: i sent you the manual, but i uploaded real quick, so if it don't work, or you didn't get it, post here and I'll upload it to the site to download.

Generals was originally going to be another game "Set in the Command and Conquer universe" Aka Tiberian Twilight. Then 911 came, and EA busted into the office and said "WERE TAKING TEH GAME IN A WHOLE NEW DIRECTION!!" and whenever later generals was released instead.

[Allied General]

if they overhauled the engine majorly it could work ( the guy behind early concepts of renegade 2 showed the engine could look good) but EA are slackers in game development.

GDI could have been operating in 1985 but under that secret op name.

If by a major overhaul you mean 'diss Sage and use a totally different engine', it could work. Sage is a piece of crap, it was when Gen came out, it certainly is for BFME.

About GDI, wasn't Black Ops 9 GDI's predecessor?

[Allied General]

yeah that was it.

I thought BFME looked pretty good,

what graphics engine would u use?

[ComradeJ]

I'm not really into engines and such, but I do know that Rome Total War uses skins that are 16 times larger, models that have twice the amount of polygons and there are roughly 10 times as much units as BFME. BFME's screens are deceiving BTW, the skins used on official screenies are 4 times as big as those ingame, AFAIK.

[Allied General]

yeah i have Rome Total War the graphical effects in that game do look amazing but the style of gameplay is a bit too hardcore.

Basically you demand bigger models with far more detail on the graphical side rite?

The zoom feature should also maintain the detail.

Also why does BFME need higher minimum specs

Also why does BFME need higher minimum specs 

Because although the SAGE engine can be pushed hard, it simply isn't as good as the RTW engine.

Same thing with D3 and HL2; HL2 has a lower minimum spec, even though it does as much or more than D3.
