Well as an old time C&C player I can honestly say that i loved the series. Especially the early games, C&C 1 and Red Alert.

Tib sun and RA2 I did enjoy but not as much as the originals. I hated the Yuri's revenge expansion. Renegade was a blast however and I wasted a lot of time playing it online, awesome game.

When Generals was out the C&C format had run dry imo, everyone had cloned this RTS setup by then, I moved onto Medieval Total War by then which really showed how little depth a traditional "Build them up and rush them" RTS like that had.

When you get used to playing with things like weather effects, tiredness, morale and genuine terrain benefits, the other format seems so dated. So I do not think I will be buying this new one, just as I did not buy the Generals expansion.
