New C&C In Development

who wants 2 see internet play 4 yuri? or even red alert 2? they wher the greatest ever. the should still be on internet play, wat u think guys n girls?

the only good c&c's were the original and red alert 1

Red Alert 3, exactly like RA2, but 3D.

I *still* play RA2 several times a month.

please remind me. what was so wrong about renegade? the demo had me going and from what i've played of the full game, it wasn't that bad (i didn't play single and 'from what i've played' means not a lot).

Is The Battle for Middle Earth in stores today?

you know what i'd like to see in a rts, is a pause abiity, limited amount for multi?... maybe its just my suckage but I can never balance out my attention to much on my army or my economy, so either I have a big army with no money. or lots of money with no army. go figure

SWEEEETT!!!!1111oneone.

Only one problem :( I fear it will be like C&C Generals, which had crappy multiplayer code, had such slow money-collection that multiplayer matches didn't even get started until half an hour into the game (unless you rush), and required you to play on Westwood. There was no way to connect to an IP address directly, and you couldn't even play on Gamespy or any other way except for crappy Westwood. If you go and read any fan reviews of C&C: Generals, the main theme you will find is that it had terrible multiplayer, and the developers didn't do a single thing to improve it.

Kari Wuhrer will be back I assume/hope? yummy.

Arg! I don't want another Red Alert! I want my Tiberian Twilight. I want to see the continuation of Nod and Kane. I want the Scrinn to either make an official appearance or allow Nod and GDI duke it out with kick-ass, nonmech Mammoth Tanks. And (much like my complaint with HL2), most of all, I want my storylines closed, damnit!

You kids are whack. The only bad one was Tiberian Sun.

We know Westwood is just an EA pawn these days but they still spit out quality.

This is going to make me install and play the original Red Alert again, anyone knows if it runs on XP?

But the ultimate question is...

Will the live-action cutsceens return?

I hope they pick up on the advice they can find all over the C&C forums, like keep the graphics yr style, dont go to deep with the tech keep it real, make sure this game gets a decent online server, make the superweapons balanced, make the game more balanced because to be honest yr was filled with flaws there is a mod out there whom corrects all those flaws, at least most of em, its 90% done go check it out @ www.cannis.net/cannisrules. Take a good look @ that ea because thats what you should strive for. I can go on and on on this subject, but I advice them to take a look at the C&C sites before (also can be found on that adress in affiliates) they make any plans at all. Not only because the people who are members of those forums are "Diehard" C&C'ers but also because most of them still play yr every day and do have some good thoughts about it. Anyway im ratteling here :P

PLEASE LET IT BE RED ALERT 2 GRAPICHS! I hate the generals style :(

I'm still waiting for them to add direct "Connect to IP: ___.___.___.___" multiplayer option to just about EVERY ONE OF THEIR C&C games, which they've managed to leave out even in the original Red Alert, IIRC. Ever since they got the bright idea to force the use of a proprietary game matching system (I still remember and loathe WChat) they've refused to allow anyone to connect the games they bought together directly through an IP addy, which isn't very difficult to code, hello. Jerks. Seven years of requesting them to add it to each game has brought about nothing. EAT A COCK WESTWOOD/EA.

This better not be Red Alert:Renegade or some flavor of the month shit

I wont be buying anything unless they fix Generals :(

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

I look forward to RA3 as long as there aren't any more robots, fricken' lasers, or crazy giant mind-control brain monsters. I want real modern warfare CNC! :P

*fires up Hell March*

WOOHOO!

I'd much rather it be Renegade 2 they're working on, but that's probably just me.

Needs more Renegade 2

EA needs Westwood Studios

Hmm, wasn't C&C: Generals developed by a different team than Red Alert 2?

Yes, please give us more dolphins with guns strapped to them. :|

Here is the context of the email that was sent out:

Hi everyone,

I hope everyone is enjoying one of the best years ever for PC gaming.

On the eve of one of our own major releases, The Lord of the Rings™, The Battle for Middle-earth™, the one thing we've grown to understand is how important the community - our most loyal supporters - is for industry. This started back in our days at Westwood where the community for our games has always been a big priority. We understand that you are the most important and influential group for us and we are constantly amazed at the amount of talent used to create quality assets and mods.

Having said that, we have a MAJOR announcement to make and we are making it exclusively to our long time C&C fans. This announcement is not going out to the press and it won't appear on the EA website or anywhere else online. We are very proud to announce that the team that brought you Command & Conquer™ Red Alert 2™, Command & Conquer™ Yuri's Revenge™, and Command & Conquer™ Generals has officially started work on our next project set in the Red Alert universe!

As I mentioned, we're very proud to ship what we feel is one of the best RTS games ever released. Most of you have probably heard of The Lord of the Rings™, The Battle for Middle-earth™ which hits stores this week. We've introduced some really innovative features and gameplay mechanics, which you should definitely check out when you get a chance. You will also see a major enhancement to the Sage graphics engine we originally created for Command & Conquer Generals. Expect us to leverage and continue to evolve this powerful engine as we start work on our new Command & Conquer game.

Thanks again for all your support over the years. This entire team is incredibly excited to work on the next Command & Conquer chapter. Look for an official announcement soon and have a wonderful holiday.

Command And Conquor: BLOOD FROM A STONE

Westwood needs to get a clue about multiplayer for their games to have staying power. Yeah they are fun to casually play but their games never sustain a decent community for very long because of weak multiplayer :(

Please don't suck!

I wish they would make a decent c&c sequel. I liked the atmosphere in that game much more than the red alert games. Red Alert was definately more fun though.

640x480 \m/

holy shit. ra2 was my favorite in the series with generals a close second. 8 of us would play ra2 on lan every friday for months. if its the same team working on ra3, it will no doubt be incredible.

Oh god, i hope it's good. I dearly loved RA 1 and 2. Please don't ruin this game. Those games have given me a ton of playing time.

I hope it's on a new engine and is good stuff

Oh hells yes. The original Red Alert was one of my favorite games ever.

OH SHEEEET!! OH NO!!! OH SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!

*hyperventilates and passes out*

I want C&C 3 and Renegade 2!

but RA3 is awesome too.

oh please don't make a game that sucks, warhammer was fun for a while but it got old
