C&C is not worth buying or playing people. I just finised playing the second
level of the game. The graphics are nice and all but the playablity sucks so
bad its wrost then Outpost and other lame games combine.  Thats why Westwood
delaying the game for so long and trying to redesign the game all over 
for the last couple of months. Tell you the truth, C&C is NOT even worth $10.

HA HA HA. If this is true there are going to be a lot of pissed off people in 
the world.   Imagine:all the months of hype and expectations add up to a dud.  
I'll wait to make my judgement until I actually play the game.

Well, you've perked my curiosity... how do you know the game is as bad
as you describe?  Others (read on) have posted to the contrary...

OK.. Here it is.. This is absolutley.. positive.. C & C is Done as of
a couple days ago.. The rest of the process I dunno what that is will
take a week.. It will be shipped on Saturday.. Stores will receive it
Monday Morning..I have my information from an inside source.. (old
high school buddy) He says he has been playing the Beta- version to
death.. The game is to die for..

So who's to believe?  I realize both of your views are subjective, but
what specifically turns you off the game?

Get a life, man! That was a VERY VERY lame attempt at being funny or perhaps
even trying to sound sincere...

Everyone knows that what you are saying is nothing but crap --- even if the
game would have neeb released the things you said could not possibly be
true. 

It's gonna kick ass. How could it be less great than Dune 2? No way, dude.

Why don't you stick with Outpost and other games of the sort, because you 
certainly seem to not appreciate real-time strategy.
Oh, BTW, your attempt to upset those of us who are waiting anxiously is 
not working; I plan to pay $60 bucks, if that what it takes, to get this 
game, and I am expecting it to be the best program that I've bought all 
year. Plenty of other people will back me up on this.

Did you like Dune II? If you didn't liek it or haven't played it, throw
your opinion in the trash where it belongs. Even if it was just a Dune II
rehash, it wouldn;t deserve to be compared to Outpost, which was released
with half the game and all the AI missing.

I'll back you up. There have only been 2 games all year which were
attractive enough that I bought them. Terror From the Deep was great, and
it kicked but (despite all the people who said it was too similar to X-Com,
should have been SVGA, does that sound familiar at all?). Renegade sucked
:(

Yeah right I guess you have played Warcraft or something and thought
it was Command and Conquer or else you are just a nerd who thinks he
is something coz Command and Conquer is here to stay!

Ya, right.  And who are you.  All I know is Westwood aint Sierra and that
means alot.  It might suck, and it might not, but Im sure of one thing- you
dont know.

That's a pretty ballsy prediction, considering that it isn't even here 
yet.

Well it certainly couldn't have worse AI than Dune II, so we don't have to
worry about that.
