Command & Conquer series

[WarlordMatt]

I am making this thread so C&C fanatics (like me) can talk with eachother. I just bought Tiberian Sun (yeah, I know it's old) and I really like it.

I got C&C Red Alert 2 the other day that was the first c&c I've ever played. It wasn't bad actually quite enjoyable.

 

[WarlordMatt]

When does Red Alert 2 take place? The Cold War? That's what it said on the ad that came in the box for Tiberian Sun.

I dont know actually... a freind just gave me his CD. He said he wanted it back in a week... It's been month..... errr..

Welll it mght take place during the clod war. But Im thinking it is after...

it's after the cold war http://westwood.ea.com/games/ccuniverse/redalert2/english/gameinfo.html

can't wait for generals to come out, that game will rule

I own all 4 except for Renegade,but only played through RA2.
I am dissappointed they create an entirely new story with Generals.They should continue the Tiberium storyline.
And the videos are also missing in Generals.

Generals looks like a gooid game to me. I think it was made because of all the recent terrorist attacks, plus two future world powers.

 

[WarlordMatt]

How many C&C games do follow the Tiberium storyline? Tiberian Sun and Firestorm really have a very good story.

 

[Kennelly]

There are Tiberian Dawn and Tiberian Sun;Firestorm is an addon to TS.But Kane from Tiberian Dawn/sun also was in the first Red Alert so,I still believe,it's all the same universe except Red Alert 2 which was just for making money (a good game nevertheless).

 

[WarlordMatt]

For some reason in Tiberian Sun I can't get past the 5th missions for both GDI and Nod. I've come really close to completing the Nod 5th mission, I realized exactly what I need to do. But the GDI 5th mission really confuses me.

I got bored with Tiberium sun after awhile because it was just a case of building a range of units and then attacking...RA 1 and 2 were good and I did complete both games unlike TS where I got close to finishing it.

Dune 2 rules, it was the first rts for me. C&C used to tie me to the computer. Cut severely in my civilization time... But the rts thing is pretty much over for me nowadays, I like the rest of turn based games (think I'm getting old...)

I still think Tiberian Dawn is the best game ever made. And you can not beat that games sound track.

 

[Kennelly]

RA+RA2 are easier than TD/TS,but RA2 is only funny not really creating suspense like the Tiberian games.
So I go with hzm,Tiberian Dawn rules.The videos are better than these of Tiberian Sun (I don't like the 3rd person view there) and the world of TS is too different from ours to really integrate into.But TD is end of the 90s and there are so many good actors,missions and the epic story it's really the best.

Tiberium Dawn was the best ever game in the series right next to Red Alert 2. Both were structured and focus on two things: Penny pinching and tactics.

All other games of the C&C series rely on how fast you can churn out tanks...
