Entry: Command & Conquer - A674804

Im kinda a newbie here... :/

Hi Yoav,

Sorry for the delay in commenting on this - I meant to say something and then forgot, and then couldn't find it!

This is a good start - I've played C&C myself, and quite enjoy it (it's not as good as Warcraft, IMO....). I think what this entry needs is an explanation of what the game is, why it's important, and why it's fun.

There's a good edited entry on real time strategy computer games at A630497, which mentions C&C briefly. It's worth linking to this entry, but you'll have to say a lot more about C&C for it to merit an edited guide entry of its own (if that's what you're after!)

A good example of a computer game entry is at A711776, which is about Elite, which is probably before your time!

Best wishes

Otto

Thank you very much, it's good to know that people appriciate what you do...
Thank you for all the examples, and, as you can see im not very good at English, since it is not my mother language, I've learned and still learning it at school, and of course from the media (TV, internet and more...)
I will try doing better in a few weeks, since i haven't finished my end-of-the-year-exams yet...

There's nothing wrong with your English. I wouldn't have known it wasn't your first language.

Good luck with your exams - I look forward to reading more of your work!

Best wishes

Otto

WOW, Thank you very much!!

Yeah, good luck Must be about halfway through, right?

You might want to think about covering the C&C series, rather than just the one game. They've got lots in common, after all.

Myself, I played 'Red Alert 2' for a bit, and it played reasonably well as a single player game, but I just didn't like it as a multiplayer game. It seemed to degenerate into mass use of just a few units, and it didn't feel particularly well balanced. I dunno - maybe some people like that...

Takes all kinds, eh?

Thnanks, I really had a lot of ideas about what and how to write, but i just CAN'T find the time for that.. oh well, I hope it will be soon- before school starts again..
But hey, thanks for interesting and replying to it!

BTW, male or female?

Oops, I've seend your info so if I got it right- forget about the BTW question above, sorry... :/

That's cool If you want you might like to remove the entry from the CWW until you have more time - but that's up to you...

Oh, and isn't it obvious?
-Lucinda

No offence, but I'm a little confused- isn't lucindia a female's name? but your info says "martin"! huh? :/

Which would you prefer me to be?
-Lucy

Uhh, that's a tought one, LOL! of course a girl! well...? just to know, that's all..

*whispering in Yoav's ear, leaving just a trace of lipstick*
Your wish is my command...

btw, what's this Odigo thing?
-Lucinda

So, f or m?
Odigo it's like ICQ but it has some advantages but also disadventages.. u may download it at download.com or odigo.net , i think... enjoy!

Hi, I'm Lucinda, and I'm female. Happy?

Honestly, you try to maintain a little mystique, and you just get pressed for a straight answer...

I guess I spend too much time chatting online anyway, so I don't need another program for that! Actually I uninstalled ICQ a year ago or so, and let me tell you - it was pretty difficult going cold turkey! I made a little 'click here for Random Chat' button on a T-shirt, and if the urge got too strong I ran over to my wardrobe and 'clicked' it with my finger.

-Lucinda

LOL, i asked for your gender since was confused of your user details... but I KNOW that sometimes i'm taking things too much seriously :/
where are you from, anyway?

Well, UK-ish. I've moved around a bit, ya know? I'm at Malvern at the moment, though. Might even stay there for a bit...

Yourself?

Im from Israel.. have you ever been there (here)?

Nope. And right at the moment, I'm not sure I want to. I prefer to keep my warfare on the computer screen...
