And is there a problem with that? They made it in the first place.

[Cryptkeeper]

yes no originality sorry but its not very creative

[Whitey]

But they made the damned concept, which was original.

[Cryptkeeper]

when they used it in bf2142 but not when they reused it for tiberium but thats of course assuming they did since i don't truly know that did its nothing but speculation. but its so close to the one bf2142 which does not show me that they can expand upon the tiberium universe and make it unique universe

i like the titan it look like a titan jugernought cross and why cant the titan be daul cannon so it was single cannon in the first game it was in and about the name i dont give a care about the name as long as its a good game it could be could be calld cnc tiberian stupidity and if it was good i would buy it besides who says that is not a working title and finaly QUIT INSUALTING IT UNTIL YOU PLAY IT

YOU ARE MY NEW BEST FRIEND! God, this is one reason I quit being a fan of Sonic some time ago because I got so sick of the bitching yet people still buy the game and bash it even before it comes out. What is wrong with people sometimes? (Not meant at anyone specifically, I just sees this happen all the time)

My say: you guys need to give it a chance, and by that I mean this: don't go overboard with "ZOMG NEW HALO 3 T3H BST!" (assuming that's from a Halo fanboy, not a hater), yes it's probably not going to be the best thing ever but I don't think we have to worry about that. (Actually, I just came up with a better example: don't treat this like a Shockwave update). But also don't hate the game just because it's EA and at least give it the benefit of the doubt. Game Informer, I just got a subscription, liked it a lot. I know that's not much, but based on what I read, sounds awesome--I'm going to a friends later tonight, so I'll see if I can get the magazine scanned then if you guys want.

I think the game sounds good, but I'm going to be careful not to hype myself to disappointment. I loved Renegade and played it all the time (years, maybe?) before I got bored and quit a little while before WOL went off (or so my friend says, that guy was a frickin addict no joke). I'm honestly looking forward to this game because I'm not critical about every single detail or care if a unit's overused. As long as the gameplay is decent and balance isn't pure utter shit, then I'm not going to have a heart attack.

EDIT: Whenever I get the time to copy the mags (I only have a few minutes to post right now, hopefully later today I'll hvae more time) I'll make a new post, but until then seeing there's only one more post after this current one, I'd like to ad Vega is a squad commander says Game Informer. You can move Titans, for example, as mobile cover when you're trapped out in the open and you can do the same with your troops. Will be back soon.

a reply to the person above look at the bf 2142 mech there almost exactly alike like they simply copied the concept art for it

Bf 2142 mech = titan - tank cannon + two miniguns
so where is exactly the problem? now are your guys gonna bitch about "bf 23142 mechs is a ripoff of the titan"?

personality, i am expecting a Republic Comando in the Tiberium universe

no. The chassis of the mech in the screen shot is rounded. It's not boxy like the command and conquer or the BF-1242 mechs.I think it actually looks unique

EDIT: on second though, never mind

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."

[RaiDK]

/Shrugs

Meh, there's nothing wrong with BF's Conquest. C&C mode could easily be modded in... Hell, the Renegade 2007 mod could move to Tiberium now that we know it's on Unreal Engine 3.

you just confused me the original titan looks nothing like the bf2142 mechs and I'm not even a TS fanboy more of a TD fanboy but i still hate the lack of creativity on there part here I'm sorry its not that the rest of it doesn't look good and I'm not saying its going to be horrible game i don't know that but they realy need to be a little more creative if your going to change a mechs look at least make it some thing that doesn't look like somethign from one of there other fps games

its just a little criticism of mine right or wrong its my opinion but I'm not bashing ea I'm just saying some constructive criticism :chillpill1:

[Foxhound]

They fail for not putting this on CryEngine 2.

CryEngine = Optimization zero.

Unreal 3 engine = Optimization over nine thousand.

[The_Hunter]

^ i have played games with both of these engines the Crysis engine does seem better in what it can do (as in crysis looks better with all settings on high than gears of war and bioshock) but it is true that i didn't experince any hickups with with games on the U3 Engine while i did sometimes on the Cry Egine.

[Stinger]

EA will want to use an engine for a C&C that makes the game accessible to all users and therefore is not as demanding on hardware. I am not really surprised they're not using the Crysis game engine for this seeing as a lot of people have problems running that.

I would guess this shooter is pretty far along in development and will be slated for a release next year.

It's been in development for a long time. Some of the Petroglyph / Westwood guys did some work on it.

[The_Floodhunter]

First, sorry about the scans--it'll be a couple days most likely until I can get a scanner hooked up and apparently none of my friends have one accessible. Second, according to IGN (and I think GI said the same, I'd have to reference though) says it's coming Fall '08.

[Eddy01741]

SO basically, a new renegade... i agree with whoever said it's milking money outta the C&C name.

New images, thanks to cnc-inside:

I am about to post 20+ NEW SCREEN SHOTS, GET READY!

Railguns look insane!

[Soul]

Pretty awesome, some look like cutscenes however, like the ones that show those spires next to that blue zone city.

[Pandut]

Ya know, i wouldn't be surprised if they made a movie...

[Shirou]

Those screenshots are really not convincing. The titans, or what are those cilinder-headed incarnations, look obnoxious! Nothing new, all pulling everything out a franchise because you know it will sell, even though it will be a crappy game.

No offense, but how do you know that? I hope you're not planning to play the game because with that kind of prejudice, you could get Shockwave 2 and still say it sucks. (No, I'm not saying that will happen, I doubt that by far, but this board is barley giving the game a fair chance). Wait for a demo dude, or at least until we get further in development and the marketing campaign really kicks off. I mean, the game was just announced and it's quite common that games change dramatically between announcement and the final product. :chillpill1:

Also, last I checked, don't a lot of fans want to see the old units back in action?--such as the Titan and Wolverine? Blame fans for that, but lack of new content (assuming there will be a lack), then that's EA's fault. We may yet have some new toys and it's rather early for EA to be showing off that kind of content/info. But hey, I'm not EA so I can't make that call.Give it a few months before release (or at least some time to work) and by then we should know a LOT more of what to expect (unless they're going to completely cap information). Hell, again, the game was just announced so how can we instantly form judgments based on this small amount of content? This is like looking at the media update of a mod, and because one unit may look bad, fans start screaming "THIS MOD IS GOING TO SUCK!" No difference here.

Please, at least consider this before replying to this post: how many games usually start showing off everything at the beginning? What is the point of showing all your cards when the marketing campaign has barley (if at all) started? I'm not saying the game will suck nor am I even guessing that it will be game of the year, but I think we need to at least give it a chance before we assume it'll be a terrible piece of crap. Meh, I'm done.

EDIT: In case anyone wants the magazine scans, until I can get my scanner and hopefully a better scan, these will work sufficiently I hope...

I'm not sure those are Titans, but rather a new type of mech.

[Overdose]

No Nod campaign =/

Hopefully it won't end up being another omg let's save the world type of shooter.

[Alie]

It looks like they just overlooked tiberium wars entirely when they were creating the concept for this...
