my FAVORITE RTS ever!!!!
I only play with mods in this game.
WOW!
i love this game for what it is PURE AWESOME!!!!! :D
The base game isn't that great but the mods more than make up for it and the single player is really fun and some mods allow you to play it with their changes like Tiberium Essence a great mod.
This game, is a dream come true. Epic battles, relentless action, you never get enough of this.
Still, in 2022, together with Kanes Wrath, one of the best RTS's out there. Gameplay is uniquely well-done and can be very varied, in part due to not having unit cap unlike Starcraft, which allows more different playstyles on different (especially custom) maps (in particular, very big battles with hundreds of units). Soundtrack is wonderful and fits the atmosphere perfectly. Story is good and has interesting twists. Features FMV cutscenes with great cast which helps presenting the story (and was recently found to be a good meme material :) ). Graphics is decent even by modern standards. Good modding and map-building tools available. All in all, everything is thought-out and well-executed. The only downside is that its original GameSpy servers for multiplayer are closed, and generally the game is pretty much abandoned by EA (unlike Starcraft 2 by Blizzard), but luckily there is community-made C&C:Online which embeds into original multiplayer GUI, is pretty stable and has all functionality (including stats), and generally the community is still alive creating mods, maps, even balance patches regularly.
FANTASTIC GAME!
the expansion improved on it.
only thing i hated were the cliffhangers leading to the crap of C&C 4
