ironduke57 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2009 WTF?!? :blink: "As of right now, you need to be online all the time to play C&C 4. This is primarily due to our "player progression" feature so everything can be tracked. C&C 4 is not an MMO in the sense of World of Warcraft, but conceptually it has similar principles for being online all the time." Seriously what are they thinking (or smoking)?

killakanz 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2009 No, seriously, no. An RTS that REQUIRES constant internet connection to play even the singleplayer? No!!! Player progresion? Bollocks. It's DRM. Just grow a pair and admit it EA... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ironduke57 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2009 (edited) And seriously who get´s the trouble? The people who really buy the game. I bet 5 min. after someone got his hands on it a crack is out. (Good maybe 10 min. ;) ) Regards, ironduke57 Edited July 15, 2009 by ironduke57 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mehman 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2009 Yeah, this is going to go down bad, things like this always do. What will happen after some years when they shutdown the servers, or when you lose your internet connection, or or or. fuck you EA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rattuskid 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2009 I kind of wonder if EA bothers telling the EALA team that this kind of stuff is DRM, or if they actually believe what they're told. I mean, hell, I don't even need to be online to play CoD4 and that game is NOTHING but player progression. If you NEED constant net connection to just code in 'kickbacks' to hardcore players, you coding something fucking wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IconOfEvi 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2009 And thats another thing thats going fucking wrong - the player progression. I mean wtf. How the hell are they supposed to balance it so someone without them will be able to win, yet give you a reason to work towards said goal? Its madness.

Rattuskid 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2009 Its madness. It's Sparta! I agree though, goodies through progression are good for FPS, bad for RTS titles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IconOfEvi 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) We were right. its not the end of CNC, but of Kane's part in the story In all actuality, I figured this was how it'd go on. However, the Scrin thrown out O_o? Edited July 22, 2009 by IconOfEvi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rattuskid 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2009 Judging by just this little hint, I'm guessing the plot will work something like... GDI makes a deal with the devil, and Kane worms his way into control of the organization, meanwhile the actual Nod remnants discover some shocking truth about him/team up with GDI dissidents and wage a role-reversal kind of war. Might make for something interesting. Sure as fuck beats KANE WAKES UP AGAIN AND WES GOTS TO STOP HIM FROM KILLIN' EVERYONE, DURR storyline that got repeated a few times already.

IconOfEvi 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2009 Whats funny is I hypothesized that too. My othr one I'm riding on at the moment is that Kane eventually ascends back to Heaven or something/does some God shit. Maybe during some fight with the Scrin (not a PLAYABLE race).

Oh and you were right on about Kane/etc. And maybe someone cna explain to me why the guys at EA always goto GR.org to explain certain nuances and generally hang out, as if the poor little peasants elsewhere wouldn't get their grand schemes. Its the equivalent of a gentleman's club (not THAT kind). They're supposed to be fucking all over. Gah they piss me off so much.
