Opposing Front News – Mid/Late July 2018
Another round of news both from the official side and the community, since neither seem to have full-blown news lately.
From the C&C: Rivals front:
- A newly revealed community manager for the game, known only under the tag Redwood_dance210 / EA_dance210 has stated on Reddit that, quote, “there are no plans to expand pre-alpha into other territories at this time”, as well as publicly announced that the progress made by players who are currently in the pre-alpha build will not be wiped, which in translation means that they will have a head-start compared to newcomers at launch.
- Since the patch schedule for the game seems to be quite frequent as seen in the official EA Answers HQ subforum, we have compiled current patch notes and Greg Black’s pre-patch announcements which shed light on why each change was made. We will keep these pages updated as new patches arrive.
From the community front:
- Red Alert: A Path Beyond has been updated to version 3.2.3.0, and now has organized play times on Thursdays and Saturdays at 22:00 CEST.
- The CnC: Final War mod for Yuri’s Revenge got its first development blog, showcasing subfactions and map production.
- The Contra mod for Zero Hour has posted an update on the new Widow unit for the Cybernetic general.
- OpenRA has a map design contest underway, which lasts until August 10th, so be quick if you want to make the deadline!
- Our friends at the French C&C Saga have opened up an Instagram account, where they are showing off all the C&C collections and goodies that their staff has gathered over the years.
