Kirov reporting in

My main problem with C&C and RA games is that money runs out too fast. By the time I would get comfy and build a great base with walls and everything there's nothing to fight for. The money is gone and the AI is practically dead and just sends tiny waves of enemies.

If you want to build a huge base without worrying about resources running out then try supreme commander, supcom1 is better than 2, you can even build giant shields that will cover your turrets and buildings

That's true. Before there were zerg rushes there were tank rushes.

>had CDs

>>387169485
It's funny in a way.

C&C embraced tank rushing. Any game before Generals is nothing but.
Starcraft community, on the other hand, went all "fuck no" and autistically devised a special kind of maps where you could fight back against it, banning all others.
And that's how they got their ramps and wall-ins.

C&C people were content getting the same thing over and over again. Blizzard people saw the mess that was WC2 MP and ended up fighting against it.

>>387169873
It wasn't just map design.
In SC every unit can be punished with its counter. You are forced to mix things up or as soon as you're scouted you lost the game if you only mass one 1 unit type.

In C&C tanks were the most powerful units and could only be countered with more tanks. That was the problem.

You just can't compete with crazy Soviets with crazy inventions and no concern for safety.
-Giant tesla coils and flamethrowers versus boring turrets or pillboxes
-Nukes instead of a teleporter.
-Guard dogs that can one-hit kill infantry units, even Tanya.
-Submarines and freakin MISSILE SUBMARINES
-The nuke truck (pic related)

All this was just in the first one, too. The coolness is apparent and only gets more so as the series goes on.

>>387170195
Prism tanks were pretty damn cool on allied side, though.
So is superior air force.

>>387167181
I would love a TS reboot where they keep the general game the same but update it to be more up to the modern era, like better controls, more faction asymmetry, no seeker-drone, better balance, red/yellow/blue-zone maps where there are mapwide effects based on the zone type (red has few garrisons, loads of tiberium, generally dangerous for infantry, different unit lines, yellow has less tiberium and more buildings, blue has a few small patches and loads of buildings, favoring infantry strats), stronger infrantry and different engineer mechanics

>>387163521
Who would win, that many kirovs or 1 properly microed AEGIS?

>>387169873
in C&C vehicles could crush infantry, which made even rocket infantry fair poorly against tanks, harvesters are tough and can also run over infantry. So the only way to deal with tanks is tanks. SC didnt have that issue and zerg rushes were also nerfed in patches (spawning pool for example was more expensive to prevent 6pool from raping you).

Terror drones were a pretty good attempt at countering tanks I thought. It's not hard to kill a few tanks and get them promoted at which point they really become scary.

>>387165690
>>387163313
As non-english speaker I always called the USSR the twin barrel faction (since heavy tank and mammoth had 2 barrels) and allies single barrel faction. Allies had plenty of fun stuff like GAP generator and a teleporting machine, and later even a teleporting tank.

>>387170135
>In C&C tanks were the most powerful units and could only be countered with more tanks. That was the problem.

It's not like Starcraft is that big on diversity.
Remember that crafts are soft-counter games, C&C is all hard-counter based.
The standard Terran army is siege tanks and goliaths, vultures at the start.
It's not like there are no tanks in SC, they simply have shit that complements them far too well to pass out on. Old C&Cs didn't have that.

It's still an almost unbeatable opening on a flat map. Starcraft only had a single balance patch.

>GRAVITY? WHAT'S THAT?

Ya know if they ever remade Red Alert they probably would replace the soviets with North Korea

>>387172341
Because it was very obviously a cash in, from the "le intentional campy FMV" to the bullshit co-op oriented gameplay
Personally I didn't like RA3 because it brought in micromanagement of unit with the secondary abilities. Fuck that, part of the fun of RA2 was conscript rushes without having to make sure they are all using the right weapons and wearing matching socks

I remember there was a mission where you start with a few zeppelings and no buildings and need to destroy the place where einstein was hidden creating that weather megaweapon or something, was it hard or I was just shit at it?

>>387171414
In an effort to balance all the factions, they have made them all feel homogeneous. Also the campaign is complete trash with a horrible difficulty "curve".

>>387172341
Campy game in an industry that because SERIOUS BUSINESS
rushed development
shit pathing
shitty balance
the fun units were lategame and it was really difficult to access them (further compounded by the fact that for allies your MCV had to be near your production building and for empire you had to upgrade your barracks if you wanted T3 infantry)
RTS market was getting smaller
no custom mapmaking
forced Coop campaign which was only fun if you had a buddy
Xpack that was slated to fix a lot of issues ended up being SP only because the recession of 2008
lot of the devs making the old games werent around

what is the general consensus on tiberium wars?

>>387174556
>these missions with limit units were always pretty challenging IMO
they basically rely on you saving/loading to know each position and then moving forward the counterunits. That way you can trade effectively every time and win the map. Deathballing such a map would just kill you

>>387162756
We're supposed to be allies, you maniac.

>>387174291
The first one (Red Alert) might be too archaic for you if you're used to Starcraft and stuff. You can't queue up units, for example. Maybe start with the second one.
