Yeahh !!!.. woo yeahhhh !!! C&C 4 Fails !!! woooo
Yeap title says it all... I want to take this time and part of my blog to justify this FACT and to show you exactly HOW much is actually SUCKS !
#1 Unit Population cap
Command and conquer 3

This picture is an understatement, C&C 3 has NO unit cap. In fact you can spam units until the whole map is filled with them !
Command and conquer 4

On the other hand, C&C 4 HAS a population cap
the picture on the right is literally all the units (AVG 8 units max at one time)
you can have during a game, see the difference?
The pop cap is fixed, it cannot be increased
like in other games with pop caps.
#2 Units take forever to die
What more can be said ? Units DO take forever to die !
The only way you can effectively kill a unit is to spam it's counter unit... in essence... 5 counter units to effectively kill unit. So much for colour counter system. Although each units have weaknesses it takes forever to exploit it until it dies ! argghhhh
#3 You have to signed in, or connected to the internet to even use the offline features of this failed game !
In the country i live in, TMnet is undoubtedly one of the worst ISP i have ever come across with. I have no choice but to use their shit services for shit prices... I can get 10 mbps in singapore for the same price as 2 mbps in malaysia !! fml ! And I'm not only talking about it's prices, it's service is horrible ! People who pay in full for 1 mbps are given 0.5 - 0.7 mbps at best. And people who pay in full for 2 mbps are given 1.5 - 1.7 at best... need i go on ? Too bad they are monopolizing the entire market here... damn...
Anyways it's about consistency. Sometimes i get disconnects here, and when it does C&C 4 immediately discards all the progress i made in my game and kicks me out of the damn game. Choy Joon Hoe should know about this, he played the same mission 3 times because he keeps getting DCed... He can't even play skirmish for crying out loud and that's offline !
#4 The WORST story conclusion ever...
Nuff said, EA did a "Fantastic" job in screwing up the franchise much less the gameplay ever since they bought over westwood about 8 years ago. I applaud them for their efforts but... you just screwed up the conclusion to the Tiberium Saga... Bluntly, you failed at delivering it at all !
Most of us play for Kane. That character of such prestige and confidence in himself... and he's immortal. We've seen him claimed dead in most the previous c&c games but he always manages to come back and bring along his awesome charisma and his... "Messiahness" not to mention his ultra cool slick leather robe !
But noooo in this game, Kane's outfit was cocked up. He wears some jumper and looks like some rebel ! Play C&C 3 and then C&C 4 and you'll understand what I mean. Or just peek at the pictures below...

Top : Kane in C&C 4
Under Top : Kane in C&C 3
If you're still in disagreement heck look at C&C 3 Kane in action...

How could you keep this outfit off the scene ?! It looks so freaking awesome !
#5 No resources exists !
How can you have a strategy game without resources? It is the basic fundamentals of a strategy game. Without it... the game might as well be..... Dota !
Only time is required to build a unit. Tech and upgrades can be purchased using Tiberium crystals. But i can still spam units in your face for no cost at all...

Yeah, this green crystal *Tiberium* doesn't mean resource or
credits anymore... It once did though, for the past 15 years in C&C !
#6 You have to level up your rank before getting new upgrades and units.
It's an RTS game man... not an... MMORPGRTS... I have to get experience to level up just to get all my units unlocked and take it out either on skirmishes or online gameplay. Essentially, a low level guy gets beaten up by a high level dude... Sounds like MMORPG to me...
My view of an RTS is that all players start out the same, same potential, same grounds, and on symmetrical battlefields. This means that the only way to take out the other player is to play better than him. Devise and execute strategies better.
But nooo, in C&C 4, I can bash up this new guy whom doesn't have access to tier 3 units. And since the game has no resources. The cost of my building my tier 3 unit and his tier 1 unit are the same ! Bashing guys with mammoth tanks when they could only build hunter tanks is kinda of an overkill...
There are many more factors that contribute to the failure of this game...
Let's play it and find out...

Owh wait IT CRASHES TOO !?!?
OMFGGGG !! arghhh !
