RA3 Hot Fix Coming Soon
|
A hot-fix patch for Red Alert 3 is to be expected next week to correct a bug introduced in 1.11. The issue, affecting Assault Destroyers has been deemed a critical gaming-breaking bug and will be patched as soon as possible.
However the 4th of July holiday in America does mean that patch won't be able to go through QA, Mac and Steam approval before next week. I'll update you as soon as it's released. |

Blitzkrieg II: The Finest Hour Released!
|
I think the official announcement says it pretty well:After a development that has outlasted the real World War 2, Derelict Studios is proud to announce the long awaited third release of Blitzkrieg 2: The Finest Hour. The third release, under the guidance of Korona offers more then 50 units per side, a grand total of 20 missions, and never before seen special powers such as Gliders and controllable Super Weapons. From the 1939 lightning fast Blitzkrieg into Poland, towards Britain's Finest Hour and Germany's Darkest Hour in 1945, Blitzkrieg 2: The Finest Hour Release 3 offers it all.
This is one of the community's biggest and best mods, it's certainly the most total total conversion I have ever seen and certainly worthy of your bandwidth, so here is the almighty download link! |

CNCNZ.com Roundtable 21
|
It's Roundtable time again. This month prominent members of the community discussed the future of C&C; Command & Conquer 4, the hybrid RTS idea, an ending for C&C, the new EALA GM and Red Alert for the iPhone.I'm excited. Should the feature list in the survey turn out to be accurate, I'll be really glad to see EALA experimenting and taking some risks with the future of the franchise. C&C can't stay the same forever, and I really appreciated the new base-building mechanics in Red Alert 3, so even more change is exciting.Click here to read more

CommandCOM at GamesCON
|
The GamesCON convention is being held 21st-23rd August. It is the spiritual successor to the Leipzig convention and with the change in E3's format it looks like the place for developers to announce their coolest new titles.
 The C&C team will be there in force with their own mini convention called CommandCOM and CnCWorld will be there to bring you information on the Ladder Season grand finals, and the new C&C title that must surely be announced! Apoc's been hard at work for months organising this, so I'm sure it'll be worth paying attention to. |

C&C4 Rumours?
|
German gaming magazine Gamestar claim to be unveiling a new C&C game on July 29th. In their latest edition the following scan (courtesy of CNC-Inside)
A rough translation says: Behind this picture is the continuation of a popular game series that Gamestar is going to announce next month. We are in the USA, to be the first magazine that gets the look at a playable version and the info of the stage of progress...
While the image has been proven to be a pixelated C&C3 screenshot (see here), this is a credible claim as the magazine also had the exclusive C&C3 reveal. Combined with the heavy presence of the development team at the upcoming Gamescon convention it looks like we might be finding out about the next C&C game very soon! |

Save Yuriko Contest Winners
|
The community voted winner of the Save Yuriko contest have been announced, whittled down from in excess of 1500 entries:
Overall Winner 30.1%
"Love's Never-Ending Pain". This power will make all of the units surrounding Yuriko immediately fall in love with her. All of these units will protect her to the death by attacking anyone that tries to harm their true love. But with love, there comes much pain and suffering. Like all relationships that have multiple lovers, these units will soon fight for Yuriko’s love by attacking each other.
Second Place 27.1% (and my personal favourite)
The ability to turn into or summon Chuck Norris. That is all.
Third Place 23.5%
The ability I would give Yuriko is a Mr.T summon. Whatever trouble she couldn't handle Mr.T would appear screaming "I PITY THE FOOL WHO TRIES TO KILL YURIKO! The enemies would be so scared they would get out of the game itself. Nothing could stop her then. Nothing!

Operation: Lone Guardian (RA3)
|
Some of you may remember the first Red Alert 2 Allied mission; Operation: Lone Guardian in which a desperate small force scrambled to defend against the invading Soviet forces.
Now dky.tehkingd.u has recreated this mission in Red Alert 3's graphical glory and it has certainly caused quite a stir on the official forums. It's very well made and a beautiful map, so definitely worth a download.
Map Name: Operation: Lone Guardian (Re-created!)
Players: 1

New Files
|
I've got two new files for you; a Red Alert 3 map, and a Tiberian Dawn app courtesy of Nyerguds.
 Map Name: Offshore Assault
Players: 2-5
Author: Shortzkohv
Designed as a 2 v 3 multiplayer map. The 2 players starting on land must defend against players attacking from the sea (hence Offshore Assault). Resources are slightly balanced in the onshore players favour.
Detail level is high with plenty of structures to garrison.
 File Name: C&C1 Theme Pack
Author: Nyerguds
This is the original C&C1 theme pack that was available on the original C&C95 game disks, but became unusable because the installer only installs when finding Windows 95's Themes Plus system.
This pack fixes that problem, by giving you a clean independent installer.
Thanks to the authors for their submissions. If you have a C&C file you would like hosting and featured here on the homepage; upload it! |
