Playing the C&C4 beta. This was the first time I suspected and genuinely believed EA managed to do something that wasn't a total fuck up. New gameplay, meh who knows it might be fun.

So I start the thing up and I'm welcomed to the main menu. First thing that springs to mind when I hear the menu theme; Starwars. I mean... did Kane form an alliance with the Jedi's or something? What happend to the signature dark and mysterious C&C music? If you could ever fuck up something about a game, the music would be the last thing I would ever expect it to be.

And the multiplayer... well... EA had this great idea about ranking up. So the longer you play the game the more advanced and strong units you get. But in order to give newbies a chance against veteran players they made a unit cap. So the enemy might have stronger units, but he will also have less!

Yeah great idea if only that actually worked. Yesterday I played a match and since I just started playing I didn't exactly have a lot of choices yet. Still I am expected to fight some huge ass tanks and aircraft with my stupid newbie tanks. Nice going EA, you did it again.

Now my final hope is in the story. I demand a decent ending to the game series I've been addicted to since 1995. Yet somehow, I know, they are going to fuck it up. I'm sure they will have come up with some huge ass story twist that has nothing what so ever to do with the games before C&C 3. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
