From the C&C Reborn forums:

<div class='quotetop'></div>

According to Game Informer, the C&C FPS, "Tiberium", is to be set 11 years after the end of the 3rd tiberium war. You'll play Ricardo Vega, a Used-to-be- retired GDI field commander. I'm not going to rewrite the article, so just think of it as GRAW + Battlefield + R6: Vegas in the C&C Universe. So far, you'll be leading a R.A.I.D (Rapid Assault and Intercept Deployment) around the location of the tower in the Mediterranean Red Zone that NOD defended until it was built. There's no mentioning of you fighting NOD, but you will be fighting new Scrin infantry (the two given were Shrikes, little knee-high robots with blasters an a self-destruct, and Archons, think Scrin versions of Elites from Halo)
The units that were announced that you could command were standard infantry squads, missile infantry squads, a fugly version of the Titan, and new Orcas. You'll still get special powers, like an "Orbital Slug" that you can call upon your foes.
In any case, go read it, it's real. The C&C FPS has arrived!

I have to say this: OMFG![/b]

As much as I'd excited for a C&C FPS, I think putting "Battlefield" or "GRAW" gameplay is a disgrace to C&C mode. One of the main reasons why C&C mode was so fun in Renegade was because it was different from these games that are completely based on realism. Battlefield 2 and such games are dying way faster than Renegade is, because they're slow paced games.

Ren's gameplay was very brilliant, it just wasn't recognized, and thats what were doing for Ren07.

That kind of gameplay is just so intense. Especially when both teams are collaborating. A match can last for 3 hours, and you wouldn't even notice that time just flew by. Also most FPS games now a days are based wayy to much on realism, so having a more arcadish gameplay feels a bit fresh even though it has been done. A player wants to be able to go out on the field and to some damage, rather than go out, get hit by one bullet and die. That just becomes annoying

hmmm...well you never know, it could be awesome, thanx for the info, i hope they do c&c mode again though, it truly made renegade stand out

[[NE]Fobby[GEN]]

I'm sure they will add a C&C mode, but what made Ren special wasn't just C&C mode, it was the little things like having beacons instead of superweapons used anywhere, having fast paced gameplay rather than slow-paced realism, MCTs, timed c4 for every infantry, etc.

this could be good or bad.
yer as a big battlefield fan i hope they stay way from it. BF2 was fun at the beginning but had no real longevity.
hope EA stays away from that style lest this become another minor BF2 expansion set in the future.

[Havoc89]

hmm... not much to say.

[Titan1x77]

From what Ive read its a single player co-op game, no mention of MP.

This is marketed towards consoles, will be nothing like renegade.

You can all quote me on that.

[a1h]

I've been thinking about this, and i don't know if it will be a big hit or not, but at least it will hopefully offer a good modding engine

But regardless of my opinions of the game, i will buy it because of the C&C title [img]/tongue.gif[/img]

And titans right a lot of games are moving towards consoles these days and then later ported to PC.... i hate PC ported games they dont feel right.

anyway we will have to wait and see.

[fall4mui]

they called renegade a failure in the magazine scans....

[Titan1x77]

^ Thats cause in the grand scheme it was, EA didnt sell all that much.

But thats the outlook for so many people, people go with whats popular. It's just a shame they didn't realize how good it actually is.

I bet the author never even played renegade.

[[NE]Fobby[GEN]]

Obviously it wasn't a big success, it was never even advertised and it was released by EA at the same time as MoH: AA, which was advertised like mad at the time Renegade was released. Heck, Renegade even came with a MoH: AA demo.

EA also dropped support of it after the Westwood employees were fired off, so all of the promises (to fix the bugs, to release new maps with new features, and to make a sequel) were trashed.

[a1h]

Yeah poor Westwood, If renegade had of got good media attention back then, i have no doubt that it would of been really Big. I didn't even know there was a renegade until i saw 1 copy on the shop shelf, thats how much information about it we got over here.

[Gprime]

EA doesn't know how to make games, they only know how to sell them.

This FPS won't have a C&C Mode in its multi-player (http://forums.ea.com/mboards/thread.jspa?threadID=318190&tstart=0)

I sign, although it isn't stated anywhere exactly that it ISN'T gonna have a C&C mode, in fact very little is told about the MP part of the game

This quote taken from Apoc himself:

"-No C&C mode in MP...this is an FPS-Tactical shooter with squads and such, this will be explained in depth plenty more starting next month. Again, there are direct reasons for this. You are thinking about this like Renegade, that would be incorrect to do."
