Should have Open Source C&C: Sole Survivor, some one might have actually been able to do something with it since it was a proto-battleground royal.

In your opinion, which side is based? GDI or Nod? Nod has a cool aesthetic but their backstory shows that they are mostly third-worlders, muslims, and communists.

NOD's aesthetic is basically Cobra from GI Joe and GDI the UN version of GI Joe.

Something really satisfying about slagging GDI armor units but something satisfying about halting a NOD rush or sneak attack.

Kane will always make NOD based. He even put a black guy in charge of the Black Hand lol.

The whole series was on Steam for only six bux to celebrate this occasion, so I dipped because I had never played C&C before.

1st game tells me to pick which TV transmission to hijack me (I went with GDI) and then it immediately throws me into commanding a beachhead assault. No tutorial, no nothing, just BOOM MAP BOOM PT BOAT BOOM GET YOUR GUYS ON THE BEACH GO GO GO. Hot damn, why was I playing Starcraft as a kid when I could have had this putting hair on my chest instead?

NOD literally has someone from the bible as their leader who kept coming back to life. That couldn't be more based. Plus earthly politics and viewpoints don't matter, what matters is Kane and his followers achieves heaven in their own way by using some weird alien tech

Based Kane brought based aliens to earth so he could steal their tech and get them to destroy globohomo.

Based NOD/Kane gets finest women on earth (General Killian, Alexa Kovacs). GDI virgins gets some frumpy brunette skirt probably on her period and that shitty asian cylon.

Based NOD gives you super homie Sawyer from LOST. GDI you get Rasczak who proceeds to shit all over you no matter what you do and is grumpy even if you save the gay earth.

Mammoth tanks are pretty based but flame tanks get the edge for pure insanity and destruction.

Zone troopers based AF though. I would guess Hammerhead pilots are probablly IRL based.

GDI abandoned their walker tech. Based NOD made bipedal mechs that grow stronger by cannibalising other units.

GDI use speakers for point defense. Based NOD uses Obelisks of doom.

I lean GDI. After all, I am a Western world chauvinist who looks down on the filthy others.

Renegade was so fun in multiplayer. I don't know if it was any good, but kid me loved it.

C&C Renegade is one of the most underrated games ever made, no joke. The multiplayer alone is something that still hasn't been replicated. I remember buying it in a bargain bin and expecting it to be absolute dogshit. And then I spent the entire following year playing nothing but Renegade.

I know the Red Alert remaster didn't exactly sell well and probably gave them cold feet on remastering 2, but they need to do it. Red Alert 2 is so much more sophisticated than 1, and is the more deserving of the two in regards to a proper remaster. EA just needs to bite the bullet.

The lost source code might be a bigger barrier than low sales, to be honest.

They'd need to entirely rebuild the game from ground up.
