Ok, while reading through the January 1997 Computer Gaming world
magazine, I found an interesting article on page 32.  The article was
about C&C Sole Survivor and a little on C&C2 Tiberian sun.  Anyway C&C
Sole Survivor looks pretty cool.
The article said it was to be an internet only game to be played over
westwood chat (I hope kali as well).  The game is simple you get to pick
any unit from C&C (the first one), and you have to be the last one alive
at the end of the game.  Its SVGA and has some cool maps, however the
article doesnt tell much more than that.
What I wanna know, is it gonna be like doom where you come back to life
as much as possible till time runs out and the one with the most kills
wins, or do you just play till you die and that it, a short 5 minute
game???? Also there is a picture that shows a selection screen with a
minigunner, grenader, rocket solder, commando, mammoth tank, medium
tank, APC, rockey launcher, humm-vee, and ssm launcher.  However what I
dont get, is do you get to pick both a vehicle and a solder or what.  I
mean a commando can kill any infanty unit from really far away, and not
even get hurt.  However at the same time, a single infantry guy has a
snowballs chance in hell in killing any vehicle pretty much.  (even if
you do dodge the tank for 10 minutes, the tank still slowly will kill
the unit) So, how will it work?  I think it would be cool if you could
switch between the overhead view and a first person doom type view,
where u are the infanty unit or in the vehicle, that would kick ass. 
Anyway, there is no set date for it except sometime this year, and no
set pricing of the game.
The article also mentions C&C2 will use a whole new game engine, cool,
maybe then they could add more feature.  A mobile bridge layer would be
a great vehicle to add, or an engineer that can repair the bridge.  I
like dark reigns idea of a mechanic unit that can fix vehicles (and the
medic they stole from ra).  Even though the units and structures look
strange to me.  Hell one of the best parts about C&C is it looks
realistic.


Well enough rambling, CYA!
