News - New Command & Conquer F2P game is cancelled

Bring back C&C Renegade with a good story. That game was fun.

imo renegade was the only real cnc fps that was decent

Nooooo

Well, since it got scrapped, I guess it saves me the disappointment to the series.

C&C though isn't a game I've paid much attention to - too cerebral for me.

Surely you jest? C&C style tactics has always been pretty much limited to the order you build things, the unit type mix (tanks/infantry/ranged) and the balance of building combat units (enough to defend) vs extra resource gathering capability. Staying alive and limiting the enemy until you've got enough units to just roll over the enemy base...

Total War series, now thats more cerebral RTS with proper formations, guarding flanks, protecting missile troops, nullifying artillery, facing the right units off against the enemy etc

Does this announcement nullify the NDA? Cos I'd love to speak about my experience with it.

i presume it does i was on the alpha too and i dont like paying to get the good stuff in games so it turned me off the game straight away

[Workaholic]

Too bad I've been waiting to be invited to try the game out.

I hope they do release the code so that the MOD community can improve on it that little bit more.
Granted it won't be a C&C game...

That sounds like too much thinking for me - my preferred questions are "how many times should I shoot this?" and "what should I use to shoot this?" LOL

Joking aside I did say that I'd not paid much attention to C&C - from what you've said it looks like the impressions I picked up were false ones. Thanks for the correction!

Ever since the debacle of C&C4 the franchise has been in major trouble.

Too be honest C+C Generals was when they screwed it up. They went back to basics with C+C 3, but went backwards with the newer Red Alert and then 4.

If and when they are going to continue with C&C I really hope that they make the game 50/50 on multiplayer and singel. And the game should not be free-to-play. I'm looking forward to se this typ of game on a frostbit engine!!

I don't know about screwed it up. Clearly Generals wasn't a C&C game, with so many of the dynamics changed, but it was still brilliant in its own right.

C&C 3 was alright, I agree, but it didn't really capture me to be honest. Red Alert 3 was painful and I've purposefully avoided C&C 4.
