I cant help but feel EA will screw this up. I mean they even managed to screw up a repackaging of the old CNC games.

I seriously hope they go back to the CNC we all know and love, instead of just creating another clone and branding the game with the CNC name like they did with Generals.

Generals was a good game, but it was NOT CNC. They took away everything that made CNC what it was.

Hopefully they will come back to their senses and make the game exactly like the way it has always been since the start.

i wasnt talking about the graphics Of course i dont mind it being 3D, in fact i love playing nice looking games.

The point i was making is about the GAMEPLAY. CNC was different, no stupid worker units. It was the only game that worked that way and thats what made it unique.

I hope they bring that back, the absence of worker units, and the whole interface and gameplay.

In the old days there used to be two types of RTS. One was the westwood style, with the build menu on the side, and the other was the Blizzard style, with the menu at teh bottom and the use of worker units. In generals, EA abandoned everything that made CNC unique and went with the Blizzard style gameplay and interface. This is what i meant.

I want the gameplay to stay CNC. And by that i dont mean i want 2D graphics. Play the old CNC games, then play Generals. Note the differences (other than the graphics), and you will get my point.


anyway heres something i found thats interesting... seems to be the intro for the new game, not sure if it was leaked with the images while westwood was still working on it or if its newer than that.

Sounds like EA are serious about bringing back the traditional CnC. Now that seriously sounded great to me.

Looking forward to see some screenies with the famous side bar we all love to erase all doubt i have

werent the CnC games more popular than TA?

Well if EA bring back the classic CnC feel and gameplay, then the masses who enjoyed the originals will come back to it.

I see it this way, at the height of both TA and CnC, the masses went for CnC. So if SC annd CnC3 are both just as good, going with past experience CnC will prove to be more popular.

Thats assuming both games are just as good. As for SC pwning CnC3, i will make my own opinion AFTER both games are released. Previews mean nothing.
