Honestly, EA have had a lot of trouble trying to remake the magic that games prior to EA had.
What does people think is missing from recent cnc games ?
-Audio. Frank Klepacki was the guru of cnc music. After westwoods shotdown and Petroglyphs Establishment EA haven't been able to come anywhere close to the musical atmosphere of the old games.
-CutScenes. .. Theyr just wrong. Plain and simple. For some reason EA has got the idea that every room in a Nod controlled place only has Red light and for some reason GDI has become very fond of blue light. They must have trouble reading normal paper. Especially Nod. (where did i leave my keys?) They have also managed to ruin some of what made the char. "Kane" So unique.
-Ingame. Horrible Balance, horrible netcode. Also the fact that it takes them atleast a year to patch the game to a condition where each side can be called "balanced" (although true balance.. nah)
The fact that most of their unit designs also comes from scrapped westwood content and the fact that they have singlehandedly killed the story also says something.
I'll probably still buy and play it though. It's just a shame.
