    Westwood is dead. EA murdered them. they can't make any more games since they're dead

    if they were still alive, they should make another Dune game. in my view Westwood's last RTS before EA murdered them, Emperor: Battle for Dune , was the best RTS game of all-time. albeit highly unfinished and buggy due to EA rushing it out the door and then not allowing for sufficient patching

    acually if you botherd to look at the credits at C&C generals it includes westwood so there not DEAD they are ALIVE and there also a rumor that there making a new game......very likely theres alot of westwood fans (such as me) who West Wood wouldnt want to upset....also the true gene of RTS gaming would be false,but thank god for blizzard thus making there be some sainty in the world of RTS gaming and there not gonna get bank rupted easy....so west wood is still ALIVE

    i love Westwood same as you, but you are incorrect when you say that they are alive. EA murdered them long ago. Westwood has not existed since shortly after C&C Renegade came out.

    Dune II: The Battle For Arrakkis was the first mainstream Resource Transit System, not Command And Conquer.

    I'd love to see another Dune game.

    I voted gah

    I really liked Emperor: Battle for Dune, but I liked the books more. Face it, an RTS a la C&C isn't a good way to transfer Dune into the realm of video games. There was an interesting RPG-esque game in development called Dune: Generations by Cryo, but Cryo went bankrupt

    On topic: I think everything that Westwood made after RA was total WAR DOT ORG. If I recall correctly, EBFD was made by another team "in cooperation" with Westwood, but they didn't make it in the credits.

    Original Command and Conquer was interesting. In general I preferred other
    series though. Blizzard to begin with, then the Close Combat series. [Second
    World War squad-based RTS.]

    Well, Emperor was an RTS game first. Not an outlet for Dune material first.

    Given that, I think they did a highly commendable job. I'd rather be playing a well-balanced RTS game with a wide variety of tactics and army configurations to choose from, along with stellar gameplay (which Emperor had in spades). Rather than a game that does a better job of promoting Dune material, yet is lacking in those areas.

    Indeed Emperor was made with another foreign team's involvement, but who cares. They did a great job with it (except for pathfinding bugs, which were extremely paramount because the pathfinding programmer left the team before the work was done), that's what counts.
