for rts fans the new total war looks good

It's EA's fault, but it's also the developers fault, that kept wanting to re-invent the wheel.

C&C3 didn't try to re-invent and was a sucessful sequal. But after tat they had a RA3 highly scripted with co-op shoehorned in. After that they tried to re-invent the genre again with C&C4 by removing bases.
The sad thing is, they didn't have to do any of those things. If they hadn't, they might've still had a job and C&C would still be around.

yeah that look awesome its a shame that the game is cancelled

no you dont, ther are existing 2 and they are bad.....

if you want a lord of the rings rts buy medieval 2 total war + addon and install the "third age" mod

My favorite  c&c games red alert 1 + addon and generals

Sad. CnC was the Street Fighter of RTS games. Never was the same after CnC3. Thanks EA.

hmm..... xD

@ Azzanation

i buyed it (warhammer total war) but its not really good they cancelled a lot of tactical options the only good thing in this game are the warhammer units but rome2 or attila  or the legendary medieval 2 are much better.

for me after c&c died there are 4 more rts options

Total war series (without the warhammer part)

Company of heroes (1+2 but 1 is better)

anno series (they are all good)

and starcraft but its hardcore online if you dont play it on the esports way......

on xbox halo wars 2 is an option too but its rts light and only makes really fun with friends

M+K is definitely has huge advantages at AI and jumping around the map, but I just wanted to sit back play these games. Not lean into a monitor. So if the game was tweaked for a gamepad, its fine.

Its also worth noting the RA3 on 360 had a better interface than C&C3 on 360. I believe Halo Wars was inspired by RA3's gamepad controls.

I saw a review for C&C4 and its a very different style of game. Very odd they made that a sequel instead of a side game.

I'm not sure by the whole leaning thing. it's 2017, bot the mid 90's anymore, not unless all your furnature is from the 80's to late 90's. I have a tv near my monitor, so I can always hook that up via HDMI, but I hardly find myself leaning, more laid back with my M+K.

It was tweaked in a way, but it's not not all that rgeat for dealing with the AI on higher difficulties when they can control each unit individually , while you have to press and hold down the A button just to select a swath of units, then fiddle around if you want to deselect each one.

RA3 did, which is why I made mention of the command wheel, that eventually becmae 2.0 with RA3 as it was first seen in Kane's Wrath. You still have to press and hold down the A button in order to select all the units on screen though, rather than tapping one unit and hitting a single key for selecting all of one unit type, or a key for all units on the screen. 

Trust me, I've played all 3 versions over the years, you can get stomped by other players on all 3 versions of it, but with the command wheel, you're not going to do as well against the AI. Also the unit cap on the console version wasn't decent at the time. Dunno why EA thought it was a good diea to force a very tight unit cap on C&C 4, considering the PC ver of RA 3, C&C 3 and KW didn't require for one.

C&C 4 was supposed to be the closing chapter with Kane's story, but they managed to fuck that beyond all levels. I'm pretty sure Joe kucan won't be coming back, if at all, it's been nearly 7 years by now.
