Just a simple question seeing as how C&C 4 is going back to what seems a mech based game similar to TS (though not nearly as good). I personally think in the situation they have it set in Mechs seem logical since they allow you to be above the Tiberium. Tanks are ok but seem a bit illogical since Tiberium would make it hard to move around. I thought I'd ask for your opinions. biggrin.gif

You were the one that said Electric Weapons and Laser weapons were Sci-Fi yet grouped them together as a whole. tongue.gif


Laser and electric "weapons" as in "things that kills people" doesn't exist.

Lasers and electric "weapons" today are used as defensive systems. They can't kill people like they do in "Sci-fi".

QUOTE
Just proves my point further.


How? I said that C&C1 has the most roots in reality....

RA2 and TS has none....

RA2 is far from being "slightly futuristic"....

QUOTE
The Red Alert series could happen


There is a bigger chance that some meteor with some alien stuff crashes on to Earth than someone going back in time to erase Hitler. tongue.gif But you may never know....

QUOTE
he said he thinks that Red Alert 2 is way more sci-fi than Tiberian Sun


I think they are about the same biggrin.gif

But I just thought about something odd...why are we arguing about "whats more realistic?!" in a game series with:
- Time travel
- "Red lasers"
- Mutants
- Huge bipedal robots
- Alien lifeforms taking over
- Immortal people
- Altered history...
- Electric weapons
- Cyborgs
- Sonic weapons
- "Spaceships"
- Red shields that makes you temporarily invulnerable.
- Mind control
- Electric weapons
- Telepathic abilities

and more!

This is what makes C&C awesome, so why arguing about whats best?

.......I'm going to get some proper sleep now...I'm not functioning correctly....
