Command & Conquer

OK i got this idea from Diablo's post and figured I would ask the question. If you could have one segment added to the monthly community watch or website what would it be?

My answer: Lore - Every month post a story on the website that goes deeper into the lore, history and legacy of the CNC universes, A short story on how GDI was actually formed and the emergence of the brotherhood, while we all know and accept it hasn't truly been shown to us. Or even the chronosphere Einstein made to go and kill Hitler. Just some stories fleshing out the universe, to keep us entertained until the new game comes out.

hey guys, jsut a general discussion to discuss play styles. How do you play?

I like to take my time, exploring my tier tree and exploring the map trying to find out all the little secret nooks and crannies. Slowly building up my units before destroying the enemy with a pincer movement. usually by attacking harvesters to draw the main wrath onto my diversionary force while my main force rolls in the back gate.

I've recently seen a patch for dawn on the forums, i think nyergud's siggy has the link. and i think it looks awesome from what i can see, the problem im having though is that as soon as i load a mission the game freezes. does anyone know why this could be? and if so how i can fix it.

Does anyone else remember the fun park missions from CNC one. Secret campaign in which you are fighting dinosaurs. That was an awesome easter egg.

Before anyone decides to flame me for anything below, please note this is a wish list. this is what im looking for in the cnc universe. constructive criticsm however and other peoples ideas would be awesome too.

1. MCV's return - I would like to see the base building come back into play. With walls and concrete to stop erosion (ty TS for that awesome feature) this is taking it back to its classic style but i think a cool compromise would be little drones that hover around the mcv to assist it. for eg. Nod drones would have light powered lasers to help deter infantry while the GDI mcv would have repair drones to mitigate damage from infantry unitl backup can arrive.

2. Walkers - Ok we all have grown fond of the titan and wolverine. maybe the juggernaut. I think I agree with a lot of people when they say steel talons could have these guys. Mammoth Mkii would be sweet to see although it could be 'aged' in game so u need to send in engineers to repair and bring it online. I personally dont think nod should have walkers unless its the cabal defender, omg that thing scared the crap outta me when i first saw it. Was not expecting the devestation to follow in its wake.

3. Tanks - Tanks are used by both sides in various forms. From GDI's mammoth tank to nods light tank of various models. I think a slight revamp could be in order however. Nod could have a Light armoured tank that is fast but cheap (much like most of nods initial units) Maybe a new version of the tic tank. I jsut liked its versatility and felt it fit Nod's niche. The mammoth tank would be a must for gdi, slow and ungainly but my god the power. I know I seem like playing old tricks here but a medium tank for gdi that is not steel talons. something pretty much tot ake the place of the titan if our class isnt walker oriented.

4.tiberium - Tiberium has grown out of control again and blue tib is as explosive as ever. reutilising technology from the past harvesters once again prowl the landscapes of the earth.

5. The forgotten - The mutants from Tib sun seem to have been forgotten again since Tib sun, I would like to see a mini campaign at the beginning of the game which tells how they managed to survive the attacks from the scrin. caught between the four major forces of the CnC universe (GDI,Nod,Scrin, and those pesky visceroids) Unless ur a zone trooper or a cyborg you do not want to step into tiberium. you will become a mutant. maybe the campaign could be the tutorial for the new game.

6. Cyborg Commando - the one from tib sun was a badass. bring him back from a secret cabal laborotory so he can destroy the fascist gdi forces.

7. Class system - I like the idea of a class system where cooperation is key. Having one player play the defensive role and defend the base while someone plays offence is a great idea. with unique weapons, structures and units. eg. defensive power for Nod might be a global stealth for one minute with a 3 min CD while GDI defensive power could be Firewall generators to stop attacks

8. The ability to make your own Class - much like a tech tree would be laid out in one of the options menu and would only be available once the campaign was finished with a budget, you then get to decide which units, structures, weapons and powers you can use in multiplayer. Choosing different things in this would lock out different things.

9. Aircraft - Lets take it back a notch. lets take the skies back to simple orcas and vipers. the tw are capable of attacking air and land units with the exception of drop pads being available to gdi. Though both aircraft types would have to be upgradeable so as to keep the skies interesting. also a slight difference in the Helipads that hold them so I can put an engineer in my enemies structure and capture his tech.

10. Tech mixing - RA2 had some really awesome ideas implemented. From Garrison buildings to stealing technology. For example putting a spy in an enemy tech building unlocked something for you. I would love to see this expanded upon especially with EVA and Cabal (dont ask me why but i jsut love the personalities these two Ai's have developed) and the fact that one is inheritantly evil while the other just does her job) Or putting a spy into a hand of nod will allow GDI to adapt light lasers for thier Infantry while if Nod did it to gdi barracks, they would get a ballistics boost.

Thats all i can think of atm but if i think of anything else I will post it below. discuss?
