Cos for people who arnt always on online or if you take it on the laptop etc, its kinda a bumber however with 3G broadband being around much more these days pherhaps it wont be a problem..

nope

I have just one simple question...
WHY THE HELL YOU MADE CNC 4 SUCH A ***?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I mean no Scrin?No base building?No tiberium harvesting?
Are you people insane or yes!?!?!?!?!?!?

After playing the Beta for 2 rounds, I feel its crappy. I always get auto match with higher level players. I mean COME ONE EA, how can a level 1 player fight with level 3 or 4?? My units get ripped and keep fedding them xp points. The game is a bit boring, when you are level 1, you only can build a group of useless units ready to get stomp by higher level enemies. What makes you think it is fun?

Graphic is pretty horrible, the game play also a bit confusing to me. The tutorial on the webby don't help as well. I might give CnC4 a miss. I still love my Kane's Wrath! and CnC3

I tried the search engine, butI could not find an answer to my question - so here goes:

As Collector of all the CnC Soundtracks (physically availale) so far, I've preordered CnC 4 in the hope to recieve a real CD, however it now seems to me that all I'll be getting is mere download-option. Is this indeed true?

If so, what so special about this, as it will mostly likely end on itunes anyway?
Please give us Soundtrack enthusiasts a real, physical CD, that we can put in our shelves and admire.

(Red Alert 3 had already been a bit dogdy with the CD having no cover itself and no official tracklist being included, however at least it's been a real CD and so I've been pleased with it!)

Kind Regards,
Yezariael

well, as far as I have heard, the soundtrack for C&C4 is said to be infested with mediocrity

After playing the beta, i have a feeling the soundtrack is pretty similar with RA3, GOD, hope I will be wrong...

I am not so sure about the level difference, maybe I should learn to play better. But I feel as a NOD support class player, NOD already pretty weak in damage and HP in unit department for majority of units. Dev team should consider extending the range of attack of those units as NOD is suppose to be a HIT and RUN style, or I am missing something? And I also feel NOD support class units are pretty slow to move around

I understand that major changes are out of the picture by now. I also understand that a balance of game content must be achieved between new players and veterans. This game might have been better if mining or such had been implemented.
c&c is still a great game that fights for as much attention span as it can get. If I lose the monitor does too. if I win, then I get that rush of accomplishment.

It works for me...

Will there be live action cutscenes featuring Joe Kucan in the campaigns?
I know this is kind of a dumb question to ask because every cnC game with the exception of Generals and Renegade had them.

But still. xD

It'd be a shame, I'd be really sad not to have those live action cutscenes.

Why has the gameplay changed so that it's similar most other WWII RTS games with control points?

Was this to cater to other non c&c gamers or something? that I could understand.

I myself am usually very exited when I first get a fresh copy of a new C&C game, some better than others in some areas, but my focus was kept on the game and I was entertained. I'm not trying to be overly critical, but I feel like that magic isn't there in this one... I know it's still in beta, but I think there isn't enough time until it's released to make the amount of changes necessary to bring it into today's expectations of an rts game... by that I mean, It doesn't feel like C&C at all, it's not fast paced anymore, let alone outsmart someone. I guess I just don't feel that satisfaction when I win a round like in the other games. I would love to see that back again, like red alert 3. The mechanics were kept intact, there was humor, you could play brute force, or with smarts and tactics and good micro.

Question 2: what happened to the music?!?! Will it all be ambient?? please tell me there are some metal and electronic tracks... that was one of the things that made this C&C what it is.

I hope this wasn't overly critical... I'm a developer myself, and I know "others" above you have a lot of say about things when it comes to projects... I just wanted to express myself and hopefully someone will read this and look back at what made those games fun, and maybe figure out what's missing.

Will units be able to crush enemy units in later updates???????

I agree, they appear to be a hit and stop class, not hit and run.

When will you be able to play the exclusive mission if you pre-order the game because i still can't find it anywhere or is it on the day the game comes out?
