Command & Conquer: Remastered PC Gaming

Had a free hour last night to finally have a first look at this....and needed an hour to unload the preload. Sigh.

Anyone playing this? Any sense on how or if Petroglyph handled balancing? IIRC Red Alert was horribly unbalanced in places.

Nothing has changed. The balance in Tiberian Dawn isn't too bad but I never played the multiplayer in that. I'm really enjoying 1v1 quick matches. I've had APC's rush into my base twice now and sell my construction yard.

Keep looking at this but not bought it yet, played it the first time round.

Had a quick go last night. RTS games have come a hell of a long way since C&C. The lack of move attack is pretty annoying as is the enemy AI.

And yet despite how far RTS games have come, it's still a heap of fun. And even the cheesy dated cutscenes and CGI kind of work as the whole game has a cohesive style. Well worth the money I put down on it.

The cheating computer is a bit annoying in the single player. I destroyed their harvesters yet they're still pumping out units. Classic old style difficulty.

Yeah, you just have to deal with it. They constantly get funds even if they aren't harvesting and can repair and build constantly as long as the construction yard is standing. You can block their harvester and then keep taking over and selling their silos and the silos will still fill up despite no funds coming in.

The enemy harvest is probably the games most vicious foe. Attack it and the entire base empties out in your direction.

Really loving this. I still think OpenRA is the superior game for multiplayer, but the absolute huge wealth of content for single player in this is amazing, putting aside the remastered visuals.

I'm just playing the GDI campaign and after about 5 hours I'm only halfway through it, and there's still the Nod campaign, as well as the Covert Ops and other add-on missions as well....let alone Red Alert having dual campaigns and add-on missions as well.

Today, EA has released a patch for the games that will help some quality of life.

The patch comes from community feedback concerns. The update hopes to improve any frame rate stuttering players may have been encountering. On top of this, players can finally host private game lobbies and the in-game now has a panel to view player names, factions, team colours and status. A few other changes including the ability to mute chats, the ability to save and load custom missions, and lastly players can customize their playlist without actually launching into a game for the music
