In the E3 demo, a game that had just seemed to be getting interesting-the GDI player had just gotten a Mammoth Tank on the map while the Nod player had some sort of helicopter that the GDI player had no counter for-ended because of the game’s time limit.īecause it’s free-to-play, it will probably require an intense amount of grinding or deep pockets to unlock better units, rather than the standard and time-tested tech trees present in most RTSes. Games seem like they will last, at most, five minutes. Gone (or seriously dumbed down) is rushing, turtling, unit amassing, flank attacks, map exploring, and tech tree development. However, it'll set you back $6.99.In Rivals, two players compete to control grids on a tiny map, and whoever happens to be standing on them when a nuclear missile countdown clock finishes gets to launch it.
In case you're interested, there's also an iPhone version of Red Alert, which arguably looks better than the PC version. In the meantime, check out GameSpot's preview of, believe it or not, Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight. If you have enough tech savvy to get the games up and running, I think you'll enjoy them considerably. It's much quicker and much easier, plus it's all but mandatory for Netbook users, for whom I think these power-thrifty games are ideal.) Use the free MagicISO utility mentioned in the guide.
(Bit of advice: Don't bother burning CDs. I was able to get Red Alert running on a Windows Vista-equipped laptop, but only by following the installation instructions to the letter. However, installing them can be a major pain. There are no strings attached EA has simply allowed the three games to become freeware. Red Alert was even better, and GameSpot agreed, awarding it a 9.5. The very first time I played Tiberian Dawn, which was originally known simply as Command & Conquer, I became a lifelong fan of the genre. On the other hand, you're in for hours, days, maybe even weeks of solid RTS entertainment.
