Thanks for the thread drunkill! You know, I've played every C&C game but never actually beat a single campaign, something I should rectify when this comes out.a glitch posted:Having never played Tiberian Dawn and only a bit of the Soviet campaign in Red Alert, I'm really looking forward to this! Do the campaigns in Tiberian Dawn have a suggested play order ala Starcraft or can I just go for whichever?

I'll also assume this can also serve as a catch-all C&C thread and will probably end up re/posting random other stuff, mostly mods lol

Haha, never heard someone refer to Tiberian Sun as "C&C2" but i guess it is.

Dandywalken posted:What mods? Genuinely curious because RotR was in a weird incomplete state last month when I checked it out. Mid East Crisis was good too tho. I dunno that I'd call RotR "incomplete" because even if a new version never came out, what's there is still really polished and chock full of content. Otherwise there's been Shockwave, Contra, Cold War Crisis, Firestorm, Vietnam:GO, The End of Days, Untitled, Blitzkrieg 2, christ, just go on moddb and there are pages and pages of the things, some good, a lot bad. That said, I do agree that Mental Omega is absolutely ridiculous in quality and the sheer amount of stuff it's got. Especially when you consider its singleplayer campaigns (that I haven't played lol) while ZH modding is more focused on skirmish gameplay. E:But at the end of the day, I just really like ZH's gameplay more than any other

Archonex posted:CnC TS also has a pretty hefty mod community. Yeah it is, so is Dawn of the Tiberium Age, which I'm playing coop missions with my brother. It's a sort of (optionally) "expanded" remake of the first two games in the TS engine.

Game's out in less than a month. Hopefully this will succeed like AOE2 suceeded, I pray for some kind of resurrection of the genre.

LLJKSiLk posted:Question: Will they eventually remaster all of them? I'd be surprised if they do 3d games, but hopefully they get to TS and RA2, preferably as one package again. Depends on how this one sells, I'm sure, and of course the hope would be that these games lead to actual new games.

Oh yeah, I remember that, though it might have only come up in mods. Basically if you had frequent enough explosions next to a tank it would rock the voxel and eventually tip over and die.

Early on in the GDI campaign and some enemy vehicles have half health. I'm guessing this was in the original games and was a way to lower the difficulty a bit for the first few missions?

So it sounds like most people (myself included) have mostly been playing the TD campaigns. I long thought RA was more popular! Was I wrong or is everyone just sticking to the original release order?

Dunno why it's only got three stars, but there's already a mod that lets you space out your buildings and you know I am subscribing to that asap. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2122093636 Now for someone to mod in rally points... E: Ah, looks like it breaks the modern wall-building mod since each code change completely replaces the .dll.

I feel like a TS/RA2 bundle would definitely be more work, but I'd also pay $30+ for that and if they open-sourced the code for those games too, then oooooooh baby.

Samopsa posted:I think it's actually a lot less work, as they won't need a complete graphics overhaul, and I'd reckon most original assets are still easily available for EA. RA2/TS are also pretty much playable right out of the box with practically no issues, so a remaster wouldn't add that much. Except that I imagine they would do a full graphical overhaul because otherwsie what's the point, and that's where the work would be, simply because the later games have way more unique assets to be remade. I dunno, maybe I'm overestimating things, but I also think the very different art styles between the two games would also require more care.

Dandywalken posted:Trying out Tiberium Essence mod for CnC3 now actually. Orcas with miniguns are all I ever wanted:( Essence is great. I kinda dislike CNC3's visual style and the way they got rid of mechs so that mod is really my preferred way to play that game. Apparently the latest version is kinda buggy tho and most people play with 1.6, though that does mean no Forgotten faction.

I'm on GDI mission 13 but I still have a question about the ideal economy. I've found I need about two refineries and four harvesters to get a reliable stream of cash coming in BUT at the same time, on most maps by the time I've built all of those, along with enough units/defences to (just) fend off the enemy, I've all but exhausted my nearby tiberium fields, and it takes so drat long to regrow. I mostly hasn't been a problem, and I've been able to build enough tanks to steamroll, but am I essentially wasting my money on getting more money? Should I just be making a single refinery and then hunkering down as I slowly build, like, one tank per drop off? E:Orcas have been a godsend though. Picking off attackers and turrets and blowing up harvesters without retribution.

Never really had any issues with any other C&C game, would love to see that one get some attention. I'm pretty sure if you just install the free CnCNet version it'll work out of box though.

Escape Goat posted:I'm going to have to check this out, thanks. I love the atmosphere of Tiberian Sun and it's the one I've played least due to life timing/old jank. I just gave it a go and yup, it works all right. Make sure to download the full installer specifically, because there's also a multiplayer-only version on that page. Speaking of, one interesting side-effect of these remasters looks to be more people playing the other, fan-maintained games online. There are currently over 1000 people playing Yuri's Revenge on CnCNet.

Beat the GDI campaign (on Normal because Hard sounds like it was made for ball torture enthusiasts) though I had to reload thanks to those surprise nukes.  Still, this actually marks the first time I've actually beaten a C&C campaign at all!I'm gonna switch things up and jump over to Red Alert, play the Allied campaign. Interested in seeing the advances between the two games, because I never actually played RA at all back in the day. In fact, until not all that long ago I'd actually thought that it was made before TD.

It's like Daikatana except in a franchise that's been running for almost 30 years. It's baffling. I think it was originally supposed to be a Chinese F2P spinoff wasn't it?
