Command and Conquer Steam Sale

[ZodiacMaster101]

Theres a steam sale going on right now for Command and Conquer games, and I an't decide which one to get. I was thinking between Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3, Comand and conquer: Red Alert 3-Uprising, and Command and Conquer 4: Tiberian Light. Which is more fun to play and which do you personally suggest?

 

[Mogg01]

Personally, I'd say get Red Alert 3. RA3 Uprising is a much shorter, single campaign stand alone expansion that's fun, but not really in keeping with what you'd expect from your usual C&C game (mostly based around small task-force missions, rather than real RTS type). C&C 4 is a terrible game that I have regretted playing ever since it came out.

Oooooor you could go to the Command and Conquer website and download the older ones for free. (in case you hadn't heard, yeah a lot of the older C&C games are freeware now)

Eh, when it costs less than a subway sandwich i'm not too fussed.

i prefer command and conquer 3 tiberian plus the kanes wrath expansion much better units and gameplay vs the red alert series

skip c&c 4 it was made for console noobs i can't see any reason why they would remove the resource collection system that pretty much all major RTS games have

out of the 2 red alerts i agree that rising is better the conquest thing is alot of fun like in kanes wrath

Baw, it doesn't include red alert 2.

Definitely Red Alert 3. It's actually my number-one favourite game.

Uprising was a bit of a disaster, taking the uniqueness out of each faction with the new units. The single-player campaigns suck, with only 4 Soviet missions and 3 Allied and 3 Empire missions. The Empire missions not even letting you play as the Empire until the very last one.

Tiberian Twilight is another game I suggest you stay away from. The multiplayer can be fun, but only once you level up to the max (which takes forever unless you cheat). It also has a terrible storyline. The gameplay was entirely overhauled for Tib Twilight to the point where it's not so much a bad game, but it's definitely not a Command & Conquer game. There's no resource-gathering or base-building- instead there's a unit cap and overbalance up the rectum.

I'd go with Red Alert 3, its B movie storyline and ludicros units are a ton of fun. Haven't played Uprising though.

C&C4 is a poor man's Dawn of War, with an obnoxious unlock system and a "story" that would make even the most incapable of fanfiction writers blush with embarrassment. It completely ruins everything that made C&C endearing.

Haha, I love the Crazy Ivan image.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"

The soundtrack of Red Alert 3 alone is enough to justify the purchase. Hell, I ripped it on to my ipod and listen to hell march when I'm out and about (makes my daily jaunt to school seem a fair amount more epic).

 

[Mathak]

C&C4 still costs about ? 12,49 more than it's actually worth..I recommend skipping it.

 

[TiefBlau]

Red Alert 3 was pretty bad in comparison to 2, all the Russian and Japanese voices were a travesty (it was obvious even in the music), and all the "advanced" weaponry looked like it was manufactured by Fisher Price, but it was probably the best thing EA got out of humping Westwood's dead corpse. If you want a cheap thrill with B-movie cutscenes, go ahead and get it.

I only wish it was made properly. If they had better graphics so everything didn't look like it was made of cheap fucking plastic, or if they didn't replace all the badass soldiers with cheap tits, or if they didn't kill off Einstein, it might have been a better game. But no, it sucks.

"Here, hold this."

I second Anarchemitis' comment. Any CnC list that does not include Red Alert 2 is not worthy of your time.

Well okay, I thought Tiberium Wars was decent. Any other post-Westwood CnC game can suck an egg.

I'll be honest, my favourite games was tiberian sun, good story, good and inventive armies and the add on packs are pretty sweet as well, i think it went quite downhill from there. If you were to get a newer one i'd recommend tiberium wars, gameplay is really good still, if teh stroy suffers somewhat though
