Command and Conquer 4

I don't get it. They should've learned by now what made the first C&C, the first RA, and the third C&C3 so popular while the other games never reached those heights. Those games are all set in the near future. Everything has a 'near-future' vibe to it. The tanks look more beefy but they're still clearly tanks. Not strange looking mechs.

The problem with C&C2 was that it basically went too futuristic. I hated that game because of that. Same with Red Alert 3, it's like a parody of the first Red Alert. Walking ninja-robots and the like? Really, I thought this was supposed to be a hypothetical futuristic time-line. Sure there are oddities, like tesla-coils and whatnot. But most of the stuff is still clearly recognizable as modern tech with a few funky changes.

And now they're right back at making C&C4 as weird looking as possible. It’s like the GDI and NOD suddenly adopted Scrin unit designs.

Ah, well. I'll probably end up getting it anyway.

If by C&C2 you mean Tiberian Sun, I think that was the best game of the series.

One of the main reasons I played Command & Conquer and the Dune games from Westwood was because of the bases. To me, It is as if the company removed the heart of what makes C&C an awesome game.

Moving RTS and turning it into some RTTS+RPG+CardGame is the work of the devil. Thus,

THE END IS NEAR.

It worked for another EA game called Battle Forge, but I agree it might kill C&C just because of the shifting gameplay and balance issues.
