RTS Command & Conquer Remastered Collection from Petroglyph

[Hellraiser]

As annoying as the GDI A-10s with aimbot are, the dr. moebius mission in the GDI campaign is by far the most horrible one out of both campaigns. Random civilians walking into tiberium and dying triggering failure, nod coming from all fucking sides to kill the ones not stupid enough to walk into tiberium. I couldn't beat it on hard and just chose the other mission. Other than that the Nod campaign is definitely harder.

Also longbows are fucking annoying in the soviet campaign. Your only AA options are mammoths or sam sites since only allies can build rocket troops in the campaign. Well you can also use migs to attack them when they are in flight, but that is not exactly efficient and fast enough to stop them from killing your tesla coils or sam sites.

Oh yes, the Soviet AA options in Red Alert are not even funny.

 

[Darth Roxor]

At least they have WORKING sam sites

Oh they're working all right, when you put a cluster of 4 or 5 together because otherwise longbows on hard need to take so many sam kills that they can kill tesla coils or the sam sites themselves, despite repairs.

 

[ValeVelKal]

Yeah, AA is Tiberium Dawn is called rocket infantry. SAM sites usually shot down the planes after it dropped its load due to the time to deploy.

 

[Storyfag]

I mean mobile AA options. The SAMs in Tib Dawn are rubbish, of course. But the RA ones, as noted by Hellraiser, only work in groups.

 

[Darth Roxor]

if your base is not surrounded by 10 tesla coils and 20 sam sites, you have failed at command and conquer

Supposedly, EA is ready to announce a new C&C game at EA play on thursday. Thoughts?

Perhaps a DICE-inspired FPS like renegade? Perhaps another round of remasters like Tib Sun or RA2?

Maybe C&C 5? Generals 2?

Tbh, I don't care. I don't want new ones, I play the remaster (didn't remove if from the inventory) because it really is untainted by EA. The new ones absolutely would be.

 

[ValeVelKal]

Look at this goy - 'just build motorcycles bro!'. I don't have cash to replace the lone flamer who just heroically laid down his life to stop the death march of a dozen grenadiers, and you're telling me to get AN AIRSTRIP AND FIVE ATTACK BIKES?!

Also you don't have NOD units in this mission other than from the starting hand of nod.

So yes I checked further :

There is 8A where you start in the bottom of the map, first opposition is grenadiers, and the tank is last so at least you get to the RNG first. Once you have the chopper, there is a safe landing zone (no enemy) next to the refinery. After that, you have to beat some infantry near the enemy base and you are good. That's the one I played.

… and then there is 8B where you start at the top of the map, where the grenadiers are fought last (after the tank and regular infantry) at the beginning, and to fuck you up the 2 grenadier are close to each other so if you are not careful you will get both. The enemy base has about the same number of infantry, but there is no safe landing zone, and just to make sure it is real punishing but you also have an Hummvee right next to the enemy base in the Tiberium field (unlike 8A).

8B is brutal indeed even after you reached the chopper (I did not go further than cleaning the immediate surrounding and getting on the right foot). 8A is easy-ish once you have the chopper.

Only advantage I see to 8B is that it would be easier to decoy the enemy air strike with one minigun that you would produce from the hand of Nod.

 

[Darth Roxor]

Actually I started 8A and then switched to 8B because I thought 8A was downright impossible

The base in 8A is in a much worse defensive position, since you can get attacked from 3 sides (E, N, NW), and the AI immediately starts sending medtanks your way, which doesn't happen in 8B.

Reboot Command & Conquer and let Nod secretly control Black Lives Matter. Trump=Shepard.

 

[Erikkolai]

... so I've started delving into all the Bonus Gallery items I've unlocked.

[Zboj Lamignat]

Yeah, and you're 80s Stallone.

 

[Daedalos]

wot mods u niggas put on dis?

There's quite a few gud mods out already it seems. Attack move possible, quality of life shit that just makes the game better, pathfinding for harvestes and shit like that.

Thoughts?

 

[Darth Roxor]

Getting to manually blast Brandenburg Gate with the stolen ion cannon is quite possibly the best ending to a computer game ever.

Also, it seems they 'fixed' the final missions in the remaster in a way I wanted. The AI's conyards are no longer all fake except for one real CY stashed away in an almost unreachable faraway corner of the map. Now all the CYs are within actual base limits and they are both real.

No new C&C announcement yesterday

They also fixed the Ion Cannon temple cutscene not triggering after the final GDI mission. I always got the rocks fall, kane dies, one in the C&C Gold version.

I can attest. Best ending ever. Kind of reminds me of something.

The cursor changes shape and colour. The units behave like with normal move order.

 

[lightbane]

IIRC you could make your units more aggressive in Red Alert 1 and beyond by pressing the "G" (Guard) key, making your units pursue enemies a little as well. Has this been kept, or it is not a thing anymore in this remake?
Also, how does the music sound?

 

[Terra]

Guard mode is still in both C&C and RA. Music is excellent between both games, the original "classic" tracks are present alongside remastered versions and even some new tracks as well. You can fully customise which tracks you want to appear in-game via the Jukebox menu.

 

[Darth Roxor]

It's great. Some of the re-recorded tracks are better than the originals IMO (No Mercy, Mechanical Man)

It's actually some super-weirdo attack-move command.

Oh defiintely. The Tiberian Sons version of No Mercy makes it THE Nod theme.

See, this is what I initially thought when I discovered it during the Silencing of Nikoomba mission. But my dudes behaved as usual, ignoring GDI dudes unless manually ordered to attack...
