  Honestly I’d probably agree, albeit perhaps only because I loved C&C3, and I can’t really remember many other strategy games from 2007. Close call between that and Opposing Fronts, but its buggy state and the hideous copy protection were quite upsetting.

  Thought I really didn’t spend much time with C&C3, I thought the interface was a little dated (too much like the original C&C) and the plotline felt the same too.

  The plot was no great shakes, but how many RTS have good plots? It, at least, is a continuation of a familiar story with recognizable characters and hammy acting.

  I think that C&C 3 is a great traditional skirmish RTS and I think the interface is actually quite good in important respects, from the superpower sidebar menu to the very flexible order queuing.

  I will admit that even with the AIAS voters (whoever they are) agreeing with me, this makes it two against the world. World in Conflict seems to be everyone else’s choice.

  As I probably said before somewhere else on this site, you’re forgetting SupCom as well.

  I don’t have much problems with C&C3 (only tried the demo+skirmish hacks which said enough about the gameplay I think), only that it reminded me too much about the Generals-playstyle and not as much about Tiberian Sun, probably because the Generals-engine was used and the gameplay became a lot faster with less overview. C&C3 is decent for what it tries to do but to be fair, it doesn’t try to do a lot. That drive backwards toggle and the pre-waypoint setting up stuff were cool though. Might pick it up in that new C&C3+C&C: First Generation bundle.

  To paraphrase Sonic Youth:

  SupCom is boring.

  Well, you are a heretic too, so THERE.
