first

Have u ever looked at the majority of the Community's dislike of no basebuilding/harvesting and thought "yeah maybe it aint a great idea" or "should we try to change it a bit?"

Have you considered any way to implement the classic harvesting system?

personally I would recommend a harvesting system like Yuri's from Yuri's Revenge.

Will there be blue tiberium?

Can u choose which class u want to be before each match and how many more units do control points let u build. Also can u build more crawlers and when u are defense class can u build barracks and war factories. Sorry I have Lot of questions but I would like to see them answered plz thx

Will C&C4 have a cool installation system?

If crawlers destroy all units when they land, why doesn't GDI just bombard Nod bases with crawlers?

Will the support crawler be able to make land units? If so, how?

Oh I can answer this one

Yes they can make a few land units. The support crawler lands and deploys to let them out.....and it needs to do the same to let out air untis.

1. How do you feel about fan reactions to the core gameplay features (base building and Tiberium harvesting) being ripped out of C&C 4?

2. Visually, the screenshots we are seeing at the moment, will they improve before the games release or are what we are seeing now what we are getting in the final release?

3. I'm still very sketchy on the single player gameplay. All the info we've gotten so far is very multi-player orientated. I'm not an online gamer, I do play skirmish mode some times, but I realish the single player campaign mode. Can you give some insight into how the single player game will play?

4. This game being the final installment of the Tiberium - Kane saga, why did you decide to make such drastic changes to the classic gameplay mode, alienating life long fans?

5. Will C&C 4 have a cool installation mode like the original C&C games or will it be just your basic standard Windows software installation?

6. As I am not interested in online gaming, do I need to be online to play C&C 4? I don't care about having experience points built up for online play, as long as I can play the single player game just fine. So, for the single player campagn, do we have to be online?

That's it for now, if I think of more I'll post.

Ok, new question. Will other crawlers be able to make a lot of air units, or just a few? (or none)

Is infantry only for defense class ?

If you Devs wanted to get rid of stagnant build orders then why are you making C&C4 a class-based game?

Take for instance we have Defence, Support, Assault. It's pretty obvious that Defence will build towers every time, Assault will rush and Support will... support i guess.

But in TW each of the 3 factions had ALL options available to them and you could pick and choose tactics to fool the enemy. But in C&C4 people are gonna know what ur going to build because all they have to do is look at what class you've chosen. They'll be like 'oh hey he's gone defence he'll make towers and play it safe...

PS it really saddens me that you guys have taken most of the key C&C elements out of the game (walls/bases/tib harvesting) and yet still called it Command and Conqer. If you wanted to make it so different then why not just call it something else - a new franchise. Rather than strapping a C&C name tag on it. The C&C fanbase is not dumb - we know you called this game C&C4 as a market ploy. But if u keep making C&C games less C&C-like, then ppl are going to start assuming the next C&C games wont be anything to do with C&C and they will just stop being interested.

Really the only reason i am remotely interested in C&C4 is for the storyline. I'm not happy with how the gameplay plans are looking one bit. In fact i may just not buy the game and wait for someone to post the FMV's on youtube so i can see how the story pans out without having to suffer an un-command and conquer-like gameplay masquerade

Will you use your own EA servers like you promised?
