“Opposing Fronts” Update – End of June 2018

It’s a special double feature for tonight. We bring you both the news from the official front, as well as some new and a few residual older pieces of community news. So let’s get right to it.

First, we cover the official stuff regarding Command & Conquer: Rivals.

The game was patched twice in the span of one week. Right after the first patch on the 15th, a new patch was announced on the 18th and deployed on the 20th. Both of these patches were fine tuning for the game’s balance, so there were no new features added or existing ones changed so far.

What is linked above is part 2 of an interview from EA Play 2018 with Greg Black by Bryan Vahey. While part 1 (which also featured Michael Martinez) and the beginning of part 2 had nothing that we haven’t heard before, the middle of part 2 sheds some light on Black’s return to EA.

Now on to community news.

What you see above is “A Moment Of Madness“, an awesome video by DoMiNaToR, one of the most successful Zero Hour players in modern times. It was done with the help of GenTool, and is not unlike a similar video by the latter’s author xezon titled “A Moment Of Silence” from 7 years ago.

A few weeks ago, Renegade-X received patch 5.354, which fixes maps, a few bugs and makes some quality-of-life changes.

On Saturday, 30th June, GameReplays.org will host a 1v1 tournament in the recently updated Kane’s Wrath mod One Vision. On 7th July, there will be a “C&C3 Conjunct Tournament“, which will simultaneously be held in Tiberium Wars and its Kane’s Wrath expansion for a prize of $150.

 

That’s all for now. If you have any news you know about and want featured here, please drop us a line.
