Edition number 21 of the CNCNZ.com Roundtable has arrived, and we are doing some crystal ball fortune telling by looking at the future of the C&C franchise. In this month's Roundtable we discuss Command & Conquer 4, the hybrid RTS idea, an ending for C&C, the new EALA GM and Red Alert for the iPhone. We also have two new additions joining our regular panellists.
The 20th edition of the CNCNZ.com Roundtable has arrived. And for the first time ever control over the questions was put into the hands of the fans, our core veteran team of panellists have done their best to answer them. In this new Roundtable we discuss EA's post release support, famous names in the games, C&C on the Wii, Generals 2 speculation, Art of C&C book, Improving special editions of future C&C games.
Version 1.26 of RAED, the Red Alert 1 map editor has been released. This version, updated by old-school C&C guru Nyerguds, can now edit maps from Aftermath and large-sized maps:
Reads map numbers over 100,
Reads maps with scmd#ea, scme#ea, scmf#ea etc filenames (Aftermath maps).
Revolutionary has started a C&C1 mapping competition over at C&C Comm Center, more info in the quote below!
Quote from: Revolutionary
Do you know how to make maps for CnC, are you learning or going to learn?
If so, have you ever thought you could make a map better than the rest or if you just like mapping for fun come and have a go at the CnC Communication centres’ first mapping Contest.
Further information and any quires you have can be found, posted and addressed Here
You never know how well you may do
C&C1 maps are very easy to make, they can be made by almost anyone! No need to worry about the resource hogging and time consuming Worldbuilder, or Final Sun/Alert.
So what are you waiting for? Grab CCMap or XCC Editor and start mapping! Posted by: Tore

At long last, we have another trailer to show you guys from our mod C&C 3: The Forgotten, under development at C&C Labs. It's mostly combat footage, and it shows off all of the infantry in the mod in various in-game elements. We've also updated the Units page with information on all the infantry so you can learn more about what you see in the video. The infantry artwork was done by Tsumetai, Kane Nash, chronosheep, and stygs, and the coding by the indefatigable CommieDog. You can view a high-quality version here (56MB) or see a low-quality version on YouTube. You can see all our other work on our Media page.
Think you'd be an asset to the team? Let us know at Blbpaws@cnclabs.com! We're always looking for talented people, and texture and 2D artists in particular.Posted by: Blbpaws[GW]
Through the hundreds of C&C sites covering the latest in C&C; C&C3, TW, KW, EALA. There is a few C&C sites that covers the the old in C&C; C&C1, RA, SS, TS, WS and Command & Conquer Communications Center is one of them.
So what is so special about C&C Comm. Center? The first thing you will notice when you come there is the C&C95 based theme and you will think: "Wait, a site in 2009 using a C&C95 theme?" well there is a reason behind this.
C&C Comm. Center is a site that was created for old and almost forgotten C&C games; Tiberian Dawn (C&C1), Red Alert, Sole Survivor and Tiberian Sun.
Now you may think ok? so what is so special here except for the retro theme?
Probably the most interesting thing about C&C Comm. Center must be CnCNet a tool that can be used (not meaning it can do it for everyone) to play C&C95 over the internet (using the games LAN function) with up to 6 players.
With all these rumours suggesting Command & Conquer 4 is the next big release heading our way, we at Planet C&C thought this would be a good time to take a look back at Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. "Post-Mortem: Tiberium Wars" focuses on the thematic, storyline and art style aspects to the game.
So you've downloaded Uprising from the EA Store and it's working fine, but did you know that you can only download 4 more times, or that your download will expire in 1 year, and what about DRM!?
Fear not, my EA Store Guide provides a comprehensive explanation of all of these pitfalls and instructions on backing up to a DVD!
If you've used the EA Store you need to read this.Posted by: chickendippers
