i remember that you would be debriefed and given missions by some guy in like a black beret in the NOD campaign, but then the guy would overstep his bounds and tell you to attack the pentagon and while he was telling you this a hand with a gun showed up on the side of the screen and cold shot him through the head and then kane would push his body offscreen and take his place

oh, and... congratulations on your promotion :smug:

C&C cutscenes own. i like the one where GDI funding gets cut and the video fades out at random times through the briefing, so for the commando mission you don't actually hear what the target is

the game will end the mission as soon as you hit any target, but if you hit the wrong one you have to play another mission on the same map to clean up the Nod base. if you somehow take out the right one, you skip that mission. choice matters!!

Was RA3 any good? I guess I like the idea of animes Japan but it looked kind of off, like the new Command and Conquers which pretty much blew

Did not like ra3. tryhard is a dumb expression but I think it fits for ra3. Where ra2s cast was mostly great ra3 went for nerd name recognition like tim curry and george takei who are great people but wasred in their roles . In contrast ray wise and udo kier were good and kari wuhrer was the best tanya. Gameplay was not awesome either as the entire campaign had an ai coop partner who was generally useless and added nothing while the units took ra2s "everyone's got a secondary ability" gimmick and drove it to the ground. Also very disappointed at how stealing another factions science building was not as cool as it was in ra2. Ra2 ruled

Overall they tried to top ra2 but failed, it's not totally bad I guess but I was disappointed

I thought it was interesting seeing them try to implement ideas from Generals, RA2, and C&C3. Like if you've played those games it becomes pretty apparent what unit or gameplay mechanic they lifted from those. Things seem pretty streamlined but it is kind of impossible for me to do the kind of micromanagement that "all units have an ability" requires in order to use your forces effectively. Also the camera is zoomed in way too much.

I don't get why they ditched the aircraft AI and controls they had in Generals, that was the best in the series yet. Jets would return to their airbase on their own unless you specifically told them to a patrol an area. In C&C3 and RA3 you can send a group of jets to blow up a target, but if it gets destroyed before one of them fires that guy will just circle the area like an idiot till you manually tell him it's not a good idea to loiter over the enemy base.

At least the total conversion mod that is basically Red Alert in the RA3 engine is neat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UU13Zw57gmE
I think this video is of an earlier version cause the one I played has the camera zoomed out further.

This thread got me to reinstall TW to see if I could finally beat Croatia and I can't. How am I supposed to cope with the fact that Nod is continually hitting me from five sides at once and I can't bust out my best units until I relieve the pressure and get the MCV to my base?

croatia is a really easy mission dude. especially now that gdi infantry can build fox holes and sit in them. just be sure to turn on power to the side that's being hit, and keep infantry to the south and west and tanks to the north and east with a couple of warthogs to take care of any choppers

westwood online was not good though. at least my experience with it was not good.

red alert 2 was the pinnacle of cnc.

when i was a little boy, i did not know much about pc gaming. i had consoles at home and played pc games at a friend's house. but then we got a pc and a friend of mine brought over command and conquer and it had like a cool opening cutscene then i saw all these little mans running across the battlefield. and when a guy died sometimes he would fall over and sometimes he would like get torn in half by bullets and his torso would fly and there would be this arc of blood and if a barrel exploded then the little man would catch fire and run and scream and fall and die.

the cutscene fmvs were true ownage gaming too. i remember that you would be debriefed and given missions by some guy in like a black beret in the NOD campaign, but then the guy would overstep his bounds and tell you to attack the pentagon and while he was telling you this a hand with a gun showed up on the side of the screen and cold shot him through the head and then kane would push his body offscreen and take his place and it blew my tiny mind i was like "whoa okay, pc gaming is where i need to be" so thank you command and conquer, you were pretty good westwood bro i miss you sometimes.

how are you me
