C&C: Generals 2 announced

[Machinist_HAHAHA]

DOW1 was a non factor compared to COH (made by same people still), they actually still support COH and it has a nice community/e-sports scene (well alot of tournaments etc, just look at http://www.gamereplays.org/companyofheroes/ )

if anything RTS is getting more stupid, DOW2 was a joke it was dumbed down, clearly influenced by popular games such as DOTA and LOL where a hero unit is the only thing you control with spells/abilities and items, for the worse i think RTS is going to tone its self down and have these derp heroes. If you look at the main FPS scene they are all trying to copy and chase COD's audience which in turn just produces clones and simpleton games *cough* BF3 *cough*

mmmm Frostbite 2 :3

if they use frostbyte theres basicly no chance of MOD'ing or MOD tools being released at all, theres none for BC2 and BF3 and they are massively requested by the community

[Vibe]

BF3 don't need mods, it's fantastic as it is.

AoE 2, Caesar 3, Total War series. Enough said.

[Leesin]

Total War games ( mainly M2TW Kingdoms with mods ) are the only strategy games I have really played alot over the past years and enjoyed alot, most strategy games are boring as fuck, maybe I have just lost interest in alot of the typical RTS styles.

AoE2 was and still is the best strategy game for me.

stainless steel for m2tw is awesome, i still play it.

Anyone knows if you can still play  AoE 2 multiplayer non lan. If so, I suggest we do a cRPG AoE 2 match!

[Tzar]

Think i had about 1300idh battles fought in c&c generals and zero hour   

Been waiting for them to quit the red alert fail series to bring back c&c generals again

[Banok]

cool. well i actually used to like playing generals with my mates back when I was 15 or whatever, the zero hour expac made it x2 more interesting. my first c&c was red alert on ps1 but my favourite was probably tiberium sun on pc ;D

I don't really like RTS games these days, maybe this will change my mind. I lost alot of faith in bioware after recently trying out the old republic and dragon age.

you can use garena and stuff played with some guys about a year ago, that game is still the BEST. too laggy tho. someone should make just make a updated version with good modern internet playability. that age of empires mmo is bullshit.

Best mods for Total War, compiled for your amusement.

For Medieval 2(order of badassery, top 3 are equal):
Stainless Steel - Enhanced native campaign, basically.
Third Age - Lord of the Rings.
Broken Crescent - Eastern Roman Empire to Hindus. Medieval time period.
The Last Kingdom - Dark ages mod. British Isles.
Deus Lo Vult - Enhanced Native
THERA - Completely made up mod mixing many different cultures in to one map. Quite amusing.
Paeninsula Italica(beta) - Start of the Roman empire. Situated on the Italian Peninsula, in case your stupid.

Rome: Total War:
Roma Surrectum - Epic mod, nuff said.
Europa Barbarorum - Also an excellent mod. Both of these are enhanced native in essence.

Empire: Total War:
Darthmod - Enhanced native mod. Adds a ton of new troops 'n stuff.

Shogun 2: Total War:
Darthmod - Copy pasta. Enhanced native mod. Adds a ton of new troops 'n stuff.

Have fun.

And so that I'm not completely off topic. Something about C&C? Seems cool, I guess. Played C&C and Red Alert back in the day.

It's not C&C nor Red Alert. It's Generals.

C&C is NOD vs GDI, Red Alert is C&C spin-off and it's about Soviets vs Allies (in technologically advanced post WWII - Cold War parallel universe with lasers, robots and shit).

Generals is C&C spin off and it's set in near future where USA, China and GLA (mix of Russia and middle eastern terrorists) are available factions.

Generals is basically like battlefield rts with a little bit of sci-fi flavour. I hope they won't add too much of it in Generals 2.
