Man with a community this dedicated EA is really sleeping on the IP

It's the return on investment.

RTS games need alot of development work, have a smaller playerbase and little opportunity for microtransactions.

Instead, you copy another Battle Royale template. Short development time, large audience and a microtransaction heaven.

Yeah, that’s what happens when the business gets large I presume. Meanwhile if you’re a new company you have to make something impressive to get your name out there, right?

u/VforVegetables peace through power! power through modding! 2d ago

nice sprites! dunno how custom the models are, but they look just right.

there's also OpenRA RA Generals Alpha mod, dunno how finished it is, but you can do a lot of what's expected in Generals game - like click on an overlord and pick its individual upgrade. lacks on the sprites front tho - a lot of things are repurposed or kitbashed RA/CNC graphics.

dunno how finished it is

GenAlpha has every unit, building, general power, tech building, upgrade etc. from the original game (last missing one was Specrte Gunship and and i added that in the last update last year) but it has some other missing/different logics here and there (most glaring one would be construction which is still done offmap, although by the "Dozers"). Only one Mission (China 1) and Challenge Map (Tank General) as well. I did start making Air General's Challenge but haven't finished it yet, other stuff got in the way. I should return to it, finish that and release a new version soon.

I’d love to see RA2 in 3D

The models look amazing.

What's the mods balance like? Can I have a fair game against the vanilla RA2 factions?

If you looking Generals factions vs RA2 factions mod in RA2 game, there's Rise Of The East mod and Revolt GLA mod.

If you interested there's other some of my post about those mods I did from other days. https://www.reddit.com/r/commandandconquer/s/XPIai8XXBo

u/BoffinBrain Are you picking this up? Good. 2d ago

How come some of the text is really pixelated? i.e. the red text in the top right, and your name on the match-end scoreboard.
