The trailer just dropped for Tiberium, and at least the CG is friggin' sweet!

I do like the premise of the game, I love me some squad controllin' games!

If EA can pull it off, the concept could really make a great game.

Plus I fuckin' love his suit.

The suited super soldier thing feels a bit cliché to me and that transport just looked like the ones in Halo.

But I'll admit the concept seems interesting, if executed properly. Renegade wasn't my cup of tea.

I'm confused by the transport. Why not use a normal ORCA transport?

The super-soldier? Meh, if you weren't a super soldier you would have 15-20 seconds of gameplay before death. Just ask any of the thousands of troops I've doomed in the C&C games. :)

Ha, good point, hadn't thought of it like that.

The premise is nice but I can't see it differentiating itself from all the other games coming out touting this kind of stuff, like the Tom Clancy franchises, CoD etc

My issue with this title is they are moving too far from the units many of us have played for over a decade. Plasma rifles for the GDF? Creating new units and abandoning those that we have come to know, whose capabilities we have used time and again - like just last night - is going to see this title get poor reception from the community.

While non C&C players may like it there is a nasty bit of betrayal going on here that the C&C community will not let go without some very pointed and public comments. I hope they (the devs) realize the amount of bad press this is going to generate as EA is seen to have once again screwed a franchise.

Note what bKangy said above. What players have wanted is the ability to go down onto the battlefield among those units they have looked at from above for years. And right as this capability is offered....it is taken away and replaced with a HALO attempt. The community isn't going to receive this game well at all. First Renegade and now this.

I'm still waiting to see how it turns out. This was a pre-rendered trailer. If the reaction is bad enough they can still change the direction the game is going.
