This looks good.. I haven't played C&C in a long time but it wouldn't take much for me to get back into it.

Reason #1 to keep a win95 disk around, to play Carmageddon and C&C RA :)

There is a patch! Not sure where it is but I have installed it several times on XP.

I'll look around real quick....








...Couldn't find the patch, but there is a way to play with the compatability settings. Try setting all the fiels in the folder to windows 95 and check all the visual themes, 256 color, etc...boxes under it.

New C&C? Why no New Starcraft? T_T

I've already seen this new C&C game at Gamespot. It has a title called Tiberian Wars, and its screenshots look enticing. However, I think EA better takes this game seriously, because EA has got a bad name for poor game support/patching that makes many C&C fans unhappy. Check out the subforum for this game at Gamespot and you can see a thread called "Why does everyone hate EA?". Also, if I'm not wrong, EA had already discontinued support for C&C Generals 1 or 2 years ago... I think this news must have broken the hearts of many fans who play this game online.

However, I'll still play C&C3 if it is fun. It's not a must for me to play C&C3 online. But if it's Starcraft 2, then it's a MUST!!!

c&c is EA Games, starcraft is blizzard. Blizzard's all into its world of warcraft game which is a fagfest for magic items, no one wants to have fun, just more purple magic items, yipee!

Im still annoyed by the Generals skirmish bug, it completely lags out depending on how many pc's you play.

Ya, I know. I'm just voicing my little sad feeling about new C&C games being released in time while Blizzard is still doing Starcraft updates. :)

I can understand. Blizzard is still promoting WoW/WC at this time and they don't want to release another strategy game that competes against it. They will most probably consider doing the Starcraft 2 project once people are tired of playing WoW/WC, which is not going to happen in the next few years.

Anyway, let's wait for C&C3 first...
