I come from the CnC community, and it turned away lots of the diehard fans. It also gained a lot of fans. Most of these were casual gamers however, which made more fans leave the CNC community. Overall it may have been a good game, but 90% of the fans hated it and say it's not a cnc game. The story is also really bad apparently.
My opinion is that it is a terrible game and would have been better keeping it as an RTS and making it fast paced etc. I never played retail, but was in the beta since the pre-alpha (got invited by a mod before it was even announced) so i have played it. So, whats your opinion?
I actually tried it a few days ago. I never played any CnC before. I had to force myself to get through the first level, hoping that perhaps I would get to build a real base in the next one. I was sadly disappointed and quit there. :(
Also it felt really weird with the short clips between missions. o.O
I haven't been happy with the CnC games since Red Alert 2. All the "newer" games are.. well.
They're named Command & Conquer and they generally have the Mammoth tank in it. And apart from that it just doesn't have any magic anymore.
CnC 1 is still an awesome game. I really don't know why, but I don't ever get bored of it! It's just brilliant (ooooh and the Soundtrack!).
CnC 3 might have been a bit weak, but RA1&2 fully made up for that.
Renegade was a nice attempt, but nothing exceptional.
RA3 was.. a bit over the top.
And CnC 4 ... well, graphics are good.
Red alert 3 was designed to be over-the-top. At least thats what EA said. The games are fun for a while.
I've never played CnC4, but from what i hear its a complete disaster (duh). I've also read the story, whereas CnC stories never really mattered and always sucked, the end of Kane is really damn bizzare and doesnt even relate to most of Tiberian Dawn, Sun, and CnC3.
CnC4 sucked, it might've been a good game if it wasn't CnC, but with that name and the, "It's the end of Kane's story" speel they were shouting about just let it down. I think it may have been better recieved as the effective CnC5, after all Kanes story would have been done, but as for the end of the tiberium saga, it was full of fail.
ini editing was awesome, quite possibly my first foray into editing any game, and definately the first for RTS's. Oh if only they'd go back to those simpler times.
Made countless Red Alert maps with tons and tons of minerals. Loved the days of Kali C&C games. Yea, the only thing C&C in the latest game was Joe Kucan.
ewww not a westwood fanboy here as well crys, ea made some call CnC games like, CnC 3 my 2nd fav RTS and and Generals my fav RTS game, its only there newest one that sux's CnC 4, maybe RA3 but thats like 50/50 atm =P
and just so u know CnC 4 the game it is today was westwoods idea not EA's, that is the last game wesywood want in the CnC games they had the whole game play planed out so u can't just blame Ea, it was westwoods idea afta all,so blame westwood as well
For the love of god, i hate CnC 4. I played CnC 3 and Kanes Wrath, and i liked it. I have also played Generals and Zero Hour, AND ra 2-3. But ra 2 is such long time ago i can't remember. CnC 4 sucks, no base building. I have'nt played 3 missions and i gave it up. I have'nt played for 6 months. Kanes Wrath was a good story and the end with LEGION, getting connected with the tacititus. But the fact it said a Scrin invasion was coming and it did'nt come with no explanation sucked. And KANE working with FRIGGIN GDI!? NO SCRIN RACE!? SCREW CnC4!

Nice to see some more CNC people around;
Hell ya, our favorite thing for some reason was buildable exploding barrels with no distance limit. :P
---If you want to know more about why CNC4 was so bad, check out this interview; http://www.cncsaga.de/foren/viewtopic.php?id=522
As for good CNC's, I'd go with RA2 and then Generals easily as my favorites (also, same designer as SC2).

The only good CnC was CnC3. CnC4 and Red alert were such a phail,
command and conquer games have turned horrible ever since EA bought Westwood.

Did you really just necro a thread 221 days after it died? And one that I can't even remember starting? D:
