I understand that it has been said there is a major update on the way. However I was wondering is there a release date for said update? The reason for this post is the Orca Fighter ($2500 one) is retarded Overpowered and this update has been said to address it. Thank you.

The only thing that would be destroyed is morale. Any player will pop over a mountain and have the M6 waste it’s missile crashing into the mountain then 1 hit (use 8 missiles) to kill your linebacker and ethier crush you or simply then literally 1 hit your inf with a missile from said Orca.

I played this game with you last night. I won't comment on the ban because that is KTFF and IA Mods decision however that "some GDI Tank" was a $6000 36 Inch Mammoth tank being piloted by me ($1000 Tank Ace). You drove out from a tunnel in an up hill field while sideways in a massive box ($1600 Phase Tank) firing 2 missiles at a tank with two 360mm cannons, almost full health, aiming your way and a clear view of you. I'm not exactly sure what you expected to happen. Besides utilizing Team Work to destroy me (Which I will admit almost never happens in the game) you could have used a $950 Goliath, drove up the side of the mountain and landed on me or waited behind a rock and I would have been toast because I didn't have any cover. Why does this matter you ask? If you kill me with a $950 Goliath I just wasted $7,000 I cannot get back. Directly ramming a 36 Inch Mammoth will 1 hit kill it. You wait till the 36 Inch Mammoth tank fires and then you strike because the reload time is 5 seconds of grace. The turret also moves slow so wait till it's aiming away from your direction then ram the mammy and blow up. You can also use a $1,250 Melta Infiltrator Cycle to Ram me. You can use a Tank Commander in said melta cycle to plant dynamite and also ram/attack me. The Advanced Guard Tower was down so it was a perfect op. I had no backup/cover. Also the infiltrators are hard as hell to hit. A surface to surface missile hiding behind rocks would also kill a Mammy 36 inch. In other words if you play the game using this knowledge or strat then the Mammy 36 Inch becomes a hinderance to GDI if handled with properly. Hell if you think it's so OP then blow it up near your base and capture the Husk/Tank Shell to use. The only major noteworthy imbalance I find with the game is the Orca Fighter ($2500) which is.. Every other unit can be countered some way or somehow. I find it hard to believe that a game with over 30+ Vehicles for each team would have a way to not counter other units.

Thank You and you guys very much. The game is great!

Grizzly Tank = Fair enough The current drop weapon can be use !drop command or press "o" or "p" = There is no way to turn it off from the hotkey p. Everytime I type !wep fast i accidently hit p which drops my weapons. Can you reassign this key away from p or make it customizable? The obelisk and AGT gun is currently can be a random powerup pickup, it has been in for many years and I would need to bring up to dblaney and reconsider this, but is a reward for player who has proficiency to use it. Sometimes 1 man army can wipe out the entire base defenses if he/she knows how to use it. = The other 39 Players in game (particularly me) find it annoying to not be able to do jack when a competent person has it. There is nothing fun about someone hiding in a cave taking out 3 vehicles in the span of 30 seconds. Orca Fighter = I was refering to this thing. It can 1 hit inf, hard as fuck to hit, strong ass armor, annihilate any vehicle Mammy Airdrop. The reason I bring this up is the map with the classical music in a cave. I forgot what it was called has the 36 inch mammoth getting stuck out of the War Factory.

@Kaskins a couple things about interim Apex I was wondering if would be addressed. I understand a lot of things are out of balance but for a very weird reason I like it a lot like that and it’s interesting to counter things. The 36 Inch mammoth is incredibly OP but it forces your team to come together and get creative and also makes it more important to not lose. With that said the stuff below are things i’m Really not liking with in the game - The Orca is incredibly hard to kill and the rockets absolutely rape anything. There is ZERO negatives about it besides it’s $2,500 which can even be seen as a positive. - The Nod Super Heavy Tank main cannon is balls out useless unless you’re ramming into something. The secondary shot also doesn’t make a lot of sense. Compared with the 36 Inch Mammy it’s a hard buy for me.. - The Pioneer has an upgraded Repair gun and the sapper does not. Mk. I vs Mk. II - The obelisk and AGT guns just need to go away. - Please change the “drop all your weapons” key to something other than P. Whenever I type in !wep really fast I sometimes drop everything. - Viceroid Spam is annoying. - horn and charge should be added back to chat sounds - Airdrop all mammy 36 inch please - Grizzly tank damage is laughable - ZS7 Piony Nukes should have a bit more spread or do a bit more damage against 36 inch mammoth tanks. Currently they are in range of the 36 inch mammoth and killed easily for 6000.

Don’t touch the music Don’t touch the Units and don’t touch Kane.

For those who are unable to open it or want to read here —————— “Fellow Command & Conquer fans, My name is Jim Vessella, and I’m a Producer at Electronic Arts. Ten years ago I had the pleasure of being on the production team for Command & Conquer 3 and Red Alert 3, along with being the Lead Producer on Kane’s Wrath. During those years, some of my favorite moments were interacting with our passionate community, whether at our onsite Community Summits, on the forums, or while attending various events such as Gamescom. As most of you may know, we recently announced Command & Conquer: Rivals, a mobile game set in the Command & Conquer universe. Following the reveal of Rivals, we heard you loud and clear: the Command & Conquer community also wants to see the franchise return to PC. And as a fan of C&C for over 20 years, I couldn’t agree more. With that in mind we’ve been exploring some exciting ideas regarding remastering the classic PC games, and already have the ball rolling on our first effort to celebrate the upcoming 25th Year Anniversary. We are eager to hear your feedback to help influence our current thoughts for PC and what comes next. Over the next few weeks we’ll be talking to fans in a variety of ways. In the meantime, please share your thoughts here on the OpenRA forums. As a long time C&C fan and developer, I am just as passionate about the C&C franchise as you are, and look forward to hearing your thoughts as they help us shape the future of C&C at EA! Thanks! Jim Vessella” ——————————————————- I think it’s interesting to see what EA will do (if they do anything at all) as they are talking about the cream of the crop classic games. However what games they will restore is debatable as well and a couple things should be taken away from this statement. “Upcoming 25th anniversary” EA is WELL KNOWN for rushing and forcing to meet deadlines which makes me worried but remastering Classic Westwood games (Tiberian Dawn, Red Alert, Tiberian sun) alone will require quite an extensive amount of time. Forget adding Renegade, RA2 and Generals to that list.. I’m worried about all this. But, I am also highly interested to see what and how they will be remastering.. COD4 was remastered using higher graphics which is what it needed and it looked awesome because it was the begging of modern era graphics as well. However Ra1, TS, TD and all the other RTS games have their graphics as part of their charm. So i’m very interested to see how and “what” exactly they will be remastering. At the end of the day though, even if everything faulters... at least it will put some life into C&C and will allow modern computers the chance to play C&C without problem.

Renegade is a very dead game comparatively to most anything else. No C&C is in sight to be made by EA to help revive any interest in the franchise. IA has allowed people who typically play APB and Renegade to come together as one in a fresh, very extensive world and play. Before IA... people typically played 20 player max games on APB and with the introduction of IA... all those players moved unto IA. So 20 people who typically played APB now playing IA causes others from Renegade want to play on that server and now that number becomes 40.. sometimes 55. You can delist and take away IA from your server listings all you want but at the end of the day the players (like me) are going to demand and find ways to get what we want. And as a player I think I can speak on behalf of a lot of people that IA has been 1. Incredibly Fun 2. The admins and Mods have been very helpful 3. The tie in with W3Dhub has given new breath into the community. 4. A new experience in W3D modding and only growing. 5. Unique with the promise of updates and support from W3D. 6. Understanding Do whatever you want, but as a player I'll be going back to IA and I think a lot of other people will to.

Off topic but have you ever played Total Annihilation?

Thank you very much. The guitar riffs and industrial undertone really bring out the track and make it incredible. As you already know no one in game gives a shit so thank you for this. I’ll check it out!

Good Evening all. I've recently been playing Interim Apex and on the map Urban Warfare there is a lot of acclaim that the music is good. One of the tracks however has eluded me and searching the data in the Interim Apex folder (Always.dat 1, 2, 3 and all 27 IA.mix files) has led me to nothing. Therefor.. If anyone would like to listen to the catchy song from the Urban Warfare map it is here for your pleasure. Enjoy All and if you know the author, title or name please let me know so I can update accordingly.

Building games takes an incredible amount of time, man power, creativity and will. Further more no one is getting paid and even if you finish the game you still have to get others to play it. APB has been in development since 2003 or so to get to this point and people still play it seldom now and days. you’re talking about creating new sounds, characters, textures/skins (the paint/faces of everything), vehicles from 3D, maps and promoting it all on a system from 2002 that runs very sketchy at times. If you’d like to go for it, i’d recomend researching what you want, studying how to design games and going with Unreal Engine as that’s where you’re going to have a lot of popularity and better success.

Thank you Based God. (Edit) As you can see it just turns it white. I believe the website is trying to comp for the invisible part (The Alpha)

F i’d love to. Only problem is when i alpha it out, it turns black in an attempt to fix the empty space.

If you're considering harming yourself or others please message me or someone so we can help. God Tier Post ^ Fair Enough. I'll make do. Ty

Good Evening everyone. I am attempting to upload a GIF Profile picture using GIFY. The website that allows you to turn a video into a GIF for a profile picture. The only problem is the server only allows GIF images lower than 0.94296847 something MB. Is it possible to increase the limit or would this lead to problems for you guys. Idk how much GIF images typically are. However my image is a little larger I would guess in size because I converted from FRAPS to AVI to GIF. If there is a website that makes smaller GIFs and it is a problem from this website then I would gladly use a suggested site as well. Thank you.

Being honest gameplay wise, any C&C was just not as good as Company of Heroes. The only thing you're going to do in almost any C&C Title is mass buildings or units. This being said it very heavily makes up for it with - Incredible soundtracks every game. - Meaningful campaigns - Legacy - Very good story Arc/Lore - Interesting dynamics and with Tiberian sun at least... very good, well built environments. - Very creative units - Easy pick up and play (especially for an RTS type game) - Those old video cut scenes. With this said, C&C is able to do these things and no other RTS game has come close or made the same impact. If you're playing alone then C&C as a whole really is a 10/10. But in my argument I believe that Company of Heroes really captures a perfectly balanced realistic gameplay. Furthermore it has a lot more tactics to be applied with every single unit and every single game no matter what does not feel similar. The typical massing of a single unit has also been for the most part eliminated and you're required to have very different units come together to win at times and adapt to what's happening. However, COH cannot make up or do what has been listed above for C&C. Therefor I think it comes down to preference on what you're looking for in an RTS Game. COH also really only shines when you're on multiplayer as opposed to C&C where it rocks straight out of the box.

Interested in knowing other people’s opnions as well. Games as a whole and especially RTS games I feel are not really advertised ever in media. Have you ever played Company of Hero’s? I accidentally discovered the game while at Target. Ironically it’s been the highest rated RTS game and it’s the one I voted for. With it being so easy to get stuck on a game I wonder how many people here have actually played it

An old abandoned game with a loyal player base and unique gameplay? (APB) Nothing wrong with that!

Are you ok?

To be 100% fair supreme commander was the “Spiritual Successor” of Total Annhilation. I felt that with the technological breakthroughs, legend and mystic of this game it would only be proper to put this in place as such an earth shattering RTS game. Of course it could be biased due to only seeing the game played. But I thought it be best. Halo wars was also mediocre I heard. It never hit my radar for any interest. However options as you can see are and will be updated as people suggest more options!
