So is C&C3 going to be better just because it has the same storyline? From what I've seen in Generals, EA doesn't give a damn about storylines, they just care about getting the game out quickly so they make lots of money. And besides, the C&C name doesn't guarantee anything. They called Generals a C&C but I'm still looking for points where it actually deserved that name. So I'm lead to believe "C&C" 3 is going to be no better.

read my post alittle more clearer there man. I didnt say it was gonna be great. Here is my exact quote just incase you miss it again.

im not gonna say its gonna be great, but it sure as hell aint gonna be a generals.

Yeah it is true that this was just "concept" art. But why in the hell would they show it at a game show for no damn reason arg? They wouldnt show it to the public just to go wooo. look at are pretty screensaver... so it may be RA3 it may be the next tiberium. who knows. all I know is it will follow some of the storyline at least and will hopefully, keyword "hopefully" answer some un answered questions. Im not gonna say EA is gonna do a good job, but you never know, they may surprise us. Just because generals was shit dont mean this will be, but it dont mean its gonna be great either.

On a final note im gonna say this. Wait till the game is released to give your judgements on if it sux or not. You cant judge something saying its gonna suck because its EA and its not even released yet. And another thing. I love playing generals. Yeah it dont follow the storyline but its a good game and RTS. And people just dont like it because big bad EA destroyed westwood. and dont say some shit like thats not the reason we dont like it blah blah blah blah. thats the only reason and you know it.

Does anyone agree with me that C&C3 WILL suck if EA gets to make it?

*smacks you a couple of times* NO SHIT EA IS GONNA BE MAKING IT...OMFG!!! they have the goddamn rights. theres gonna be no...."IF EA makes it" they WILL make it. and it aint gonna be the next generals, how can it be generals if its titled C&C 3???? it would have to be C&C2 if it was gonna be a generals 2 since there was no part 2 to generals so it is gonna be a true command and conquer that follows the storyline. im not gonna say its gonna be great, but it sure as hell aint gonna be a generals.

Is it possible that since they had to take it down, it was a real pic? If so...Christmas is gonna be a happy time this year! God, the wait between these games seems to be longer than any other series.

Yes, but you have to play something to know its crap. I have it, i think it's bollocks, and Halo and Champ Manager 4 now grace my computer in it's place. Come to think of it, i have no idea where my Generals CD is, let alone the box.

well not everyone likes the same things. if that were true then this would be one boring ass world. I personally like generals all though my computer is limited to playing it. damn crap machine. but I could care less really if people dont like something I do. Everyone has an opinion so....yeah....time to get a little back on topic. I cant wait till they show new screenys of this new C&C. that is if they are truly gonna be making it.

Guys, they might not even make the darn thing. The pic is just a bit of concept art they did a year ago for fun. For all we know, the next cnc game made might be ra3.

EA has only the comercial vision in their business. They can even do some good looking games, but they are badly supported, rushed and usually incomplete or lacking features that could have been added with a little bit of more work. That's EA's fault, not EALA team... they have a time to finish their projects or else... (bye bye job)

[Daz]

Who said it would be out by Christmas?
If its not something they're concentrating on right now then it probably won't be out til next year sometime, if we're lucky.

[Destroyer]

AFAIK, there will be the expansion pack, in true EA get-as-much-out-of-it-as-possible style

[legless_puppydog]

Was more of a hope than anything else...wish they'd focus on it more, though.

[Daeda]

Its real though. EA confirmed. Only not that its in ful progress. Wich seems logical as they are working on BFME

[Deathblow Luc]

I bet that this if being done wont be announced for long. Just because Westwood / EALA have a tradition of releasing at least one expansion pack per game. If LOTR, the next EALA game, has an X-Pack, thats at least half a year more to wait. I dont know about any hit-making EA-contratist that makes RTSs which could do a C&C3, so if im wrong, say pie.

[chemical ali]

so its going to be Tiberium Sun in the future with a 3D engine?

[ComradeJ]

Still, Generals missed something in it's style. Not a year's work could have made that right. Basically, Zero Hour is what would've came out, and it's still not as fun as the other C&C's...

[chemical ali]

i dont know if any1 else has seen this but its a not so blury image and it has more detail

The key here is that EA is a business, and is ran only in the business´ interest. The focus is selling, and not conforming a wider support platform. The system may actually work for them that way, as the public flow still grows on games that carry on a C&C seal or another inning franchise name.

Their system works, in short. The fact that were unhappy with their product doesnt mean that much, just because they attract others. Remember, were numbers, not attention-needing customers. That level is only important if a) youre a new small company who needs to earn a fame andhas no cash for advertising, or B) all your products suck, hence your company´s image is bad enough.

No, 'tis not. I don't hate EA, it produces some very good games as well and did not ruin Generals - it was the RA2 team that made it, EA only funded it.

Generals just missed something... Well, a lot... But I like it better than E:BFD and TS...

[legless_puppydog]

I don't know about that. If I wanted an RTS just because it had Mechs, i could play Mech Commander...ugh. No thanks. Mechs are useful, yes, and fun to mess around with, but having a lot them isn't going to make a good game great.
