You know CnC was hands down one of the best if not the best RTS series ever made, I was playing CnC 95 again and man do I wish they would give us a real CnC game again, CnC4 was a joke, and Generals 2 was also not looking good with it not being single player and I'm actually glad it got canned. But why can't they simply make us a true CnC game now, I'm sure if they followed the correct formula of gather tiberium, build base, rush other guy, and included goofy campy CGI movies, we'd all buy it, and would be quite happy. Anyone else really admonish the lack of a real CnC game in the last 7 years.

I really enjoyed my fair share of them -- C&C: Generals was my favorite though because it was modern & like Battlefield from another view.

Like everything EA gets their hands on, Command and Conquer started going downhill as the years progressed. Red Alert sure was great though.

well id say in order of best to worst to me personally CnC, Red Alert 2, Tiberian Sun, Red Alert, Tiberium Wars, Generals, Renegade, Red Alert 3, Tiberium Twilight. I really hated RA3, its command points system just annoyed me, worst thing done in CnC was adding command point ability's

I still love this series overall. I still play CnC, RA 2 and TS quite often and agree they are the three best. The other thing that amazed me is that with the following this series once had it could have continued on, but the later games failed miserably. The basic premise of mining, building and attacking are still good, as many games lack those basic steps. This was one of the best overall strategy games made. The new weapons that were added over time did not add real value to the game. I also loved the campy videos, as many are classics, in my mind. Always takes me back to the my early gaming days when I play these. The full set is quite cheap on Amazon. I liked the competition mode in the earlier games where you could select a map and battle it out with a number of friends.

Grey Goo is made by the old CNC guys and has the best soundtrack ever, from none other than Frank Klepacki. Give it a shot, its good.

Love it. Hard to believe that they got the actors they did. Michael Ironsides, James Earl Jones, Michael Biehn, J. K. Simmons, Billy Dee Williams, Jenny McCarthy, and on and on. Great stuff.

I very much miss those games too. CnC the original was a fun game, Kane is what really made it for me,and also the nukes, not those little Starcraft nukes, when NOD said nuke they meant NUKE! RA1 I have sooooo many late night games, 8 way FFA LAN games and so on, such a wonderful game.... I can still heard "Mad Tank deployed Mad Tank Deployed Mad Tank Deployed" and hear someone on my LAN game swearing at me while trying to dive bomb them with migs before they blew. Tiberium Sun was BRUTALLY hard compared to the others, especially Firestorm, but I really did enjoy it, multi was good, but I preferred RA. RA2 lots of hours in.... Nuke trunks, Kirov's, Prism tanks...ahhh good times, the Generals was a lot of fun as well, didn't do that much multi with it though..., RA3 had parts I really liked, and things I REALLY didn't, it wasn't bad but it wasn't worth playing through more than once though, unfortunately... Tiberium Twilight.... omg where to start.... that game had so much potential and so much fail. The idea wasn't bad, but the lack of bases and all that, on top of it all, you had to play multi to level enough to beat the game, they even said it in the forums at the time, or coop with someone who could help you on the last mission, you should not have to play multi to be able to finish a campaign, that's just absurd. Game looked good though. I SO want another CnC, or RA, but don't like the old school games, granted no more Kane, he, I will miss, he was a very entertaining character, but we need another great RTS like that. Wouldn't mind seeing another Warcraft RTS either, but more like WC2 and less slow/hero-centric like WC3 was. But yeah, NEED MORE CnC!

Yea I agree, honestly I wouldn't mind seeing another Tiberium universe game, after Kanes Accession, the NOD splitter group that opposed Kane comes back to power, and wages war on GDI, ending with a nod scientist developing time travel and going back in time to New Mexico 1947 where he shares this tech with Einstein leading into the RA Universe. that would be epic lol

Not a bad idea, especially as Kane ended up in the RA universe too, if you remember. He stabbed the woman who poisoned Stalin. It was NOD's influence all along. Oh man, now I got the Red Alert song Hell March playing in my head..... not that that's a bad thing :)

Suprememe commander is nothing like CnC, its one of these new fangled RTS games, while CnC is a 90's era RTS with 90's style. Thats why we love it.

I mentioned Grey Goo earlier, guess everyone ignored my post. lol. Its made by the CNC team, and its CNC, complete with a klipacki sound track. If you liked CNC music, the music he made for Grey Goo is the best he ever made. The game is very well done, def play it if you like CNC RTS games. It even has walls that are usable. The goo faction is also nothing like any faction i ever played in a RTS.

Command and Conquer (and Renegade :P), Total Annihilation, Dark Reign... I miss the genre - we've not had any titles worth visiting for a long while. Granted, Warcraft 3 still is pretty good - but not quite the same...

Man, I used to LOVE me some Command and Conquer. I started on Red Alert, then moved up to Red Alert 2 and it's expansion Yuri's Revenge... I was actually really good at that game, I finished as a 3 star general one month. The last Command and Conquer I enjoyed was Generals... C&C 3 with the scrin was retarded. It was all downhill after they got rid of Westwood studios. I'm pretty upset they canceled the Command and Conquer game that was going to be released a year or two ago. Did any of you ever play Emperor Battle For Dune? That game was like Crysis for it's time... You had to have a pretty nice graphics card to play that game when it came out. I remember playing on my VisionTek FX4600Ti.

The F2P CnC that would require you to pay for the best in game units for MP, and was not going to launch with a single player or skirmish mode?

Activision don't have much extra room in their wallets or dev teams because COD is the primary bread-winner... Activision used to be really cool, and I used to prefer to use their products, until COD happened... :(
