I am feeling like shit, I would love to talk and watch you talk about CnC series. The series atmosphere is cozy, dark and nostalgic. I would love to feel that way.

So, which game/unit/faction/soundtrack do you like most?

Also requesting that Stealth Tanks vs Pills webm.

>Game

Red Alert/Tiberium Dawn, the first era of CnC games had great aesthetics that really capture the Cold War/WW2 and Somali War and Bosnian Crisis really well.

>Unit

Mammoth Tank, X-66 version, not the Mk. II Star Wars ripoff or the MK. 3 OR 4 tryhard versions.

>Faction

USA(Generals + Mods and Red Alert 2 + Mental Omega Subfaction) they got the fucking Murrica right.

>Soundtrack

The Second Hand by Frank Klepacki from RA1 Counter-Strike and Retaliation, love the starting tone of the track that sounds so mysterious and covert, like a Cold War Spy track.

Yeah most of the OSTs are great. I love the Zero Hour most but Ra2 and Tiberian Sun was also fun. I used to play shit ton of Ra2 when I was a kid. And Tiberian Sun's dark atmosphere is kinda makes me want to play it now, but I am not sure if I can have fun while doing so.

Can someone explain to me how RA2 relates to C&C in a way that makes sense? Why is Kane the USSR's right hand man in RA1 but then is never seen again in any future RA installment? Because if memory serves me right, he tries to make the Soviet Union win just to further get to his goal of fucking off to his home planet (unless you want to go with the original C&C storyline where it's really ambiguous and he could be anything from a narcissist extremist with a lot of charisma to the literal messiah to an advanced ayylmao).

>>15669113

red alert is a split timeline due to chrono fuckery. Kane only ever revealed himself because it was perfect to do so, the events of red alert ruined that somehow.


10b9ef (1)  No.15669446

Generals and ZH are better than RA2. RA2's biggest problem is how heavily dependent the game is upon rushing, because of the dwindling resources. Because ZH expands the unit counts and thus strategies significantly, having secondary income is great, because it means you can use these to outwit your opponents and shit. I feel that G and ZH are the best evolution of the formula.


892c7f (4)  No.15669452>>15669496

>>15669425

So IS C&C in a future where RA1 results in a Soviet Victory?

Because, as far as we know, RA1 with Allies winning the war ends up in RA2 (with Kane presumably dead or Yuri being part of his master plan), while RA1 with a Soviet victory has Kane still alive and well, so it would theoretically lead to C&C. Europe is fallen, but America is still pretty much left alone in that universe.

Either way the tech in red alert definitely doesnt exist in c&c so it goes deeper then who won the war.

During the RA1 Allied campaign you can overhear a radio (think it was radio) broadcast during an FMV sequence where there is discussion on a global military branch being planned at a UN meeting.

Basically, Kane helped set up the events of the first Red Alert war and shaped them to his own outcome as seen at the end of the Soviet campaign. However the events of the first C&C and the Tiberium games onwards stem from an Allied victory as obviously there is no supreme Soviet army in the Tiberian Sun timeline. Also do yourself a favour and avoid canon from C&C 3 onwards. They fuck it into the dirt.

As to the why of it all, considering theres over a century between some of the events in the games, he hints at immortality, mentioning being in ancient Egypt.

Tiberian Sun is by far my favorite

Those crazy fucks at westwood made a top tier atmospheric rts and I love it

Sadly, EA confirmed they're doing "remasters" after Blizzard beat them to the punch

>>15669698

pretty much, in the original script for Westwood's C&C3, they were going to address RA2 by having an old chronosphere in area 51 fire off creating a new timeline

Also, C&C3/KW are weird coming from Tiberian Sun, a ton of stuff just doesn't make any sense

>After the defeat of the Soviet-Union, leaders of the Allied nations and the Soviet-

Union met at the United Nations Headquarters in New York to write a peace treaty.

The first condition was that the Soviet-Union must be dissolved back into the

nations it was before the Russian Revolution known as "Red October". The next was

the destruction of the Communist party and the execution of the high military

officers and political officials that were still alive. Only one, supposedly

Stalin's personal advisor, was unaccounted for. The only records that proved he

existed were some documents and records signed by Stalin himself addressed to a man

called "Kane". The third condition was that all military technology be turned over

to the Allies and the UN. Fanatical Russian nationalists destroyed some of the

high-level technology of the Soviet-Union, chiefly the Heavy and Mammoth Tank con-

struction techniques. The fourth condition was that Russia itself would for ten

years be under total control of the UN. After those ten years Russia would regain

self rule but had to act in accordance with the UN until the year 2000. Russian

leaders eagerly accepted the treaty, as resisting it would mean the disbanding of

Russia itself and the placing of the remnants at the hands of Allied nations that

still bore grudges. The UN was slow to bring the world the defense force it had

promised in The Great World War II, so the Alliance stayed active and made the

agreement with the UN to disband only when the UN stated its world task force. The

UN found this as a fair compromise, and the Alliance (similar to the NATO except

used more often) remained as the unofficial "protectors" of the planet. However,

when The Brotherhood Of Nod violently appeared in the early 1990'ies with members

of all thinkable nationalities, it was recognized that it was politically too

dangerous for a European based military organization to directly interfere with Nod

activities. Thus the UN decided to finish their efforts and wrote the UNGDA. The

Allies dissolved, replaced by the Global Defense Initiative on October 12, 1995.

That's just retarded though. Allied victory in RA2 means that Premier Romanov is put in charge and Yuri, a member of the Soviet Union kept secret by the KGB, is the one who forces him into fighting against the Allies instead of keeping a peaceful Soviet Union.

>>15669698

>However the events of the first C&C and the Tiberium games onwards stem from an Allied victory as obviously there is no supreme Soviet army in the Tiberian Sun timeline.

Actually, Kane and that other blonde bitch gloat that they'll keep the Soviet Union alive up until at least the early nineties, when their plan can finally be set in motion, meaning that C&C could take place within the early 2000's with GDI being a new faction to the world from the collapse of the communist Europe-Russia conglomerate and part of the Allies. Also remember that at the end of C&C, Nod destroys one of four world heritage buildings, but none that are in Russia.

I think you mean Tiberian Sun:Reborn. Renegade X has the huge issue that, if any of the teams gets into a stalemate, you will stay in that stalemate for like 3 hours until someone manages to sneak a nuke in that doesn't get defused, especially if retards decide to vote for Fields. Reborn on the other hand has

Just checked the forums, last update was July 2017. And that may seem like it's 100% confirmed dead but ever since Apocalypse Rising, it has been slow (ie. every 9-14 months) but not non-existant. Besides, it is still a good game and has far more variation than Renegade X (for which I am still waiting for Tiberium Sun X as a gamemode), you just need to find people to play it.

Well fuck, my point still stands though, it offers far greater variation. In Renegade X, due to the low number of meaningful (ie. not simply different numbers and a reskin) choices on what to even use, there really aren't that many rush variations.
