Banshee Interview
|
Banshee has been interviewed on the official site about the Open Map Competition 4 the community held last year and it has finally got some recognition! It's not quite the inclusion in Kane's Wrath that we'd hoped for, but it's better than nothing.Q. What are examples of some of the advanced scripts on these maps?
A. Scripts were used in many ways. There was a king of the hill type of map. Some maps emulated Ion Storms. Others used scripts to bring reinforcements for the map. Another map used scripts to make a living city Click here to read on.
To mark the occasion I've added the map packs from all the OMCs for you to download: |

RA3 Community Summit Overview
|
The Non Disclosure Agreement has expired for part of the Red Alert 3 Community Summit held earlier this month, I can now reveal what we got up to.
I have published my Red Alert 3 Community Summit Overview which covers all the community summit with the exception of our actual hands-on time with Red Alert 3 itself and the Empire faction....that can't be discussed until next month.
I've formatted it mainly in bullet points in an attempt to keep away from large paragraphs of prose, hopefully you'll find it packed full of information and a pretty brief read. So without further ado; get reading! |

Apoc's Army
|
Apoc has introduced two new members of his army helping out the C&C community, both of whom I had the pleasure of meeting at the community summit.
Firstly we have Twopoc; AKA Nukewave formerly of our very own CnC Vision who will be Apoc's right man over the summer and has already been doing a great job updating the website.
Also joining the team is Mastermind (of Asylum modding fame) who is now an actual employee of EALA and will be working on the modding side of things.
Congrats to both of you! |

Kane's Wrath not Developed by EALA
|
I learnt something in this thread of the official forum today, which in itself surprised me, but what surprised me even more was the revelation that Kane's Wrath wasn't actually developed by the C&C team at EALA!
It was in fact outsourced to a company called BreakAway Ltd!
EA hasn't had a great track record with outsourcing game development; The First Decade was outsourced to Barking Lizards Technologies who are responsible for introducing the plethora of bugs into what should have been a simple compilation.
Perhaps this outsourcing is the root of the desync problems that are (hopefully) about to be fixed, 3 months after release? |

KW 1.01 Next Week!
|
Apoc has just posted the slightly disappointing news that Kane's Wrath patch 1.01 has been pushed back and will be released next week. Followed soon after by ladder season 2 beginning on the 1st of July.
The delay is due in part to the illness of the lead build engineer and I'm sure we all wish him a speedy recovery.
Stay tuned to CnCWorld for all the details. |
