Lol, there is a new EVA installation process on first start up.
News Command & Conquer Remastered Collection (EA+Petroglyph) - releasing June 5
- Thread starter prudis
- Start date
The remastered music is also awesome. It runs smooth as butter, feels great at high resolutions, supports high refresh rates.
Biggest downside so far is that they didn't implement an attack move button, but there wasn't one in the original so at least it's authentic. Still, I got used to it over the years and now I'm missing it even here.
A shame that the original videos went missing, but they did put a lot of effort into remastering the cutscenes.
Feels great to play. It's a worthy remaster for a beloved classic.

Played a couple of hours.
Runs flawlessly, solid 165fps @1440 for me.

And they also thought about this one ^^.

Yep, as an avid RTS player I can tell you that it's by FAR one of the best pathfinding of that era
I guess modern RTS has spoiled me.
I mean even in Dune 2, units actually get where you tell them to.
In this Ive seen tanks just going back and forth across 3 tiles indefinitely

That's all I'm gonna say about AI and path finding in CnC.
I just bought it, can't resist the nostalgia.
(Also, I don't believe I ever actually bought these games)

I still have my CnC decade box somewhere. I think I registered most of those on Origin too.
Hmm, I distinctly remember registering them on something at some point. Quite possible I'm mixing it up with some other game though.
Ah yes, it is the 5th isn't it?
This is why chrono harvesters in RA2 = THE BEST

Even some of the early missions are actually pretty easy to fail.
Of course you can do ridiculous micro against the AI, but you need to pay attention. Luckily it's generally not smart enough to just run your infantry over.

I got to play about an hour yesterday. Love that intro bit with the E.V.A boot up stuff.
The nostalgia is strong playing it.

This happened to me on this lvel as well, I was laughing pretty hard when I finally noticed that I was not getting any funds.That's all I'm gonna say about AI and path finding in CnC.
Played the first 3 GDI missions. Pure nostalgic awesome.
And I never played C&C 1 back in the day.
I tried it back when the First Decade was released and thought it felt a bit old then, jumped straight back into Tiberian Sun instead!

Just beat GDI campaign last night and am on mission 8 or so of NOD. GDI was great but I ended up using a bit "lame" tactics on the normal difficulty. Fleets of Orcas and harrased their harvesters and they never really protect them - rather just send retaliation attacks if it is attacked or destroyed.
Mission 11 as NOD. What the fuck man. You're supposed to use the commando but GDI has airstrikes that will specifically target the commando.
Good stuff.
Though in C&C I thought Oracas were too expensive to build in numbers large enough for target fire with AA to even matter.
Update: I was able to beat mission 11 by switching the country. Choose Mozambique instead, Namibia is just ridiculous.Mission 11 as NOD. What the fuck man. You're supposed to use the commando but GDI has airstrikes that will specifically target the commando.
As other negative reviews have said, the resolution upgrade is fancy, but the core mechanics have been left in the 90s, namely, how to control units.
The pathing will cause tanks and harvesters to go all the way around the map, often through enemy territory. This game needs to be patched so that they occasionally "refresh" pathing and will turn around when paths are clear.
Unit selection is also troublesome. Very had to micro or focus fire. There is no "attack move" command. This reminds me why in the 90s, everyone tank rushed instead of create mixed units.
This game still needs polish because the gameplay still feels 25 years old.
My review was deleted after I refunded. This is the summary.
