Article - Westwood/EAP Closing - Posted on 30 Jan 2003 by Des08tor |
|
|
According
to a few things in the community and this Reuters
news story, Westwood Studios and EA Pacific will be closing.
This was reported at Neowin
Earlier.
As reported here on Neowin earlier today, Electronic Arts announced
the results of the game publisher's third quarter 2003 fiscal year results,
and as expected the largest third party console-PC game publisher had
a record quarter with revenues of $1.23 billion for the period October-December
2002.
However, the biggest surprise in the EA financial statement was this:
"In the fourth quarter, EA will begin the consolidation of our Los Angeles,
Irvine and Las Vegas studios into a major game development studio in
Los Angeles."
Based on this statement, this means the end of both Westwood Studios
(Las Vegas) and EA Pacific (Irvine). EA's chief financial officer Warren
Jenson was quoted in a report by the Reuters news service as saying
saying that 50 jobs will be cut as a result of the consolidation.
Although Westwood Studios is going to be no more the CnC francise will
still continue but it is wheter they will be as good as the previous CnC
Games.
Joey, News Poster at Editing Source, has created this petition i suggest
to sign. No one at EA might pay attention to it, but its one more show
of our unhappiness with their marketing policies and their inmense desinterest
for the customer.
One more time, ill say this one phrase and leave a link to the petition:
"A C&C that is not done by Westwood Studios, IS NOT A C&C!"
Please
Sign this Patition
Lets at least attempt to save Westwood.
Thanks |

Article - 2021: YR Argentina Update and Cataclysm Chaper V Released
- Posted on 26 Jan 2003 by Des08tor |
|
|
ArgCmdr
has been busy and has created the buildup animation for his civilian service
depot which can be viewed here:
He has started work on his Civilian Zoo now.
He also released Chapter V of 2021: Cataclysm
Here it is:
Chapter V - Cataclysm
It has arrived. The Nemesis is at its closest point to Earth. Rotation
has stopped and calculations say the core wont get out of the magnetic
field for at least 58 hours.
Earthquakes are getting continous and radars have gone mad. Most of world
population is safe on higher places waiting for plaque movements to shake
certain areas, and only caring about material losses and the little people
in the shorelines.
The Rebels and the Fascists have been fighting through the portals on
several battlegrounds in different worlds, in extremely fierce battles,
and they are both planning to launch massive attacks after the Catacysm.
A portal has been preset by the rebels just outside Texas, and Fascists
hav done the same in Central Africa. They are all ready, observating,
waiting to make the first hit.
And it starts. Sonar pulses made in the coasts pump out strepitous values,
rocky objects travel below water at a great speed, and at the same time,
aircraft divises the creation of Tsunamis, Hurricanes and Cyclones in
oceans and seas. Earthquakes scratch the ground in several west coast
cities in the ex-United States, Chile, Turkey, Afghanistan, Indonesia
and plaque borders. Ground shakes and magma pops out of the ground approaching
fast to consume cities. Empty cities nonetheless.
Tsunamis are fast approaching on most coastlines, sure to drown any object
in the syrface. Waves of almost 350 meters are incoming into shore cities,
and in combination with the Earthquakes they merge into higher or lower
waves.
[...]
20 hours have passed, Earthquakes keep shaking areas breaking known Richter
scale, with measures of 14 or 15 degrees. Magma has eaten several Asian,
South American and African cities, Indonesia has literally dissapeared,
as well as Australia, and Japan. The west coast is gone, Los Angeles is
submerged deep below 200 meters of water, and most of buildings have collapsed
and are nothing more than underwater rubble. Europe is slowly dissapearing,
waves have eaten Spain, France, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium and Great
Britain. Masses of helated water hit Scandinavian constructions in mass,
like huge ice meteors coming from Earth itself. Geisers erupt with tremendous
force and stop throwing water and start enormous magma eruptions.
[...]
40 hours have passed. Very little parts of the world stand. Mostly high
mountains or central plains in large continents are still over water level.
Sea level has increased for about 900 meters almost evrywhere it could
reach, due to the continuous Tsunamis. The hurricanes in association with
tornados, finish off all whats left in the old coast lines, the Caribbean
is unexistant, Mexico is gone, most of Europe is as well, Russian continent
is just from Stalingrad to Novorsibirsk, Afghanistan has turned into a
mix of desert and beach, India is almost underwate completely, except
for the larger mountains at the north. China is all flooded, and the Amazon
has flooded inner Brazil and Peru, not even mentioning all the Brazilian
coastline being...just not being.
[...]
60 hours have passed. The phenomens are almost all gone for good. Only
Earthquakes keep shaking the grounds below everyones feet. The destiny
is about to be accomplished. Both armies prepare for the most lethal war
ever made in History. In one side the Rebels, Freedom Fighters whose only
interest is bringing peace to Earth by any mean, and ethnical and cultural
co-existance. In the other side of the coin, the Fascists, whose only
interest is global control under their economical sanctions, advanced
technology and powerful armies. Get Ready. The battle is coming.
I believe arg should write a book, LOL.
Now chapter V have been released. Work starts on the mod.... |

Article - New Project Arising: 2021 Cataclysm - Posted on 22 Jan 2003
by Des08tor |
|
|
ArgCmdr
has launched the new project today and has named it 2021 - Cataclysm.
If you are interested in helping sign up on the forums and offer to help.
Basic idea so far:
Chapter I: Global Situation - Year 2021
Its year 2021, the planet is leaded by the same people who have leaded
it the past century. Globalization effects are even more radical, and
several countires are in desesperate famine. Third world countries have
even merged to form new countries but also have merged into military unions.
Terrorism is common coin and not only for religion, bur for ideological
freedom and liberation. Several world countires, rich countries have turned
into fascist oligarquies, democracy exists, but its hard wired to make
the current governors keep in power.
Several political exiles have happened during the last 15 year period,
scientists, professors, doctors, have been sent to third world countries
in poor conditions due to their negative to research technology to enlarge
the difference between both sides. The world shows an actual collapse,
two factions arise, an uder-rich group of countries, and a union of masses
of people that have been suffering sickness, famine and margination for
a long time, and now they seek justice, they seek equaltry of conditions,
they defend the old set human rights.
There is no more division. Major wealth countries have revealed not to
be enemies, all wars and major acts have been a hoax. A dark play by a
small group of people to control the world under a Novus Ordo, a new order.
The remaining terrorists have gone into hiding, and have been accumulating
their resources in undeground cities, safe from the fascist expansion,
however they havent been able to unite a command, to try establish a gatherpoint
on a certain place, to fight back the globalizers, and stabilizate their
status as independants. Currently, the fascists are expanding like a plague,
in a clear imperialistic stance. Militarly they control almost all the
world, except for the underground, and several places they can access
but with difficulty, usually the places where the old called Terrorists
and the manufacturers of weapons that arent under fascist control gather
to join resources and to plan, some day, a counter to the new dominance,
and maybe, in a near future, the existance of a free republic, holding
all religions, ethnics and races in peace.

Article - New Total Conversion Mod Starting Soon - Posted on 21 Jan
2003 by Des08tor |
|

ArgCmdr
has decided to start a new Total Conversion mod soon as the Homeworld
one has collapsed and is not being continued.
The story of the mod has been posted here.
Read and enjoy.
Originally this project was going to be a WWI mod but we found it would
be boring because of the WWI technology and it would be impossible to
make a decent story.
ArgCmdr is looking for some staff who are interested in helping and contributing
to the new mod. Click
here
for details.
Also Reneclips, one of our hosted sites has collected and created some
new screenshots of generals form the multiplayer beta, you can view here:
http://reneclips.cncguild.net
There is also a new version of Voxel Editor 2 out. It was released yesterday.
Go to TibEd.net
Voxel Editor II V1.7 includes:
+ Autonormal Support
+ Chaging normals doesnt change colors anymore
+ Fully working 3D View
And Finally, last but not least, ArgCmdr has added 4 new aircraft cameo
packs on YRArg, please view here. |

Welcome
back everyone, sorry the CnC Guild was down so long. As you can see we
have Relaunched with a new site design, new server, new address and a
new start. We decided to call it CNC Guild Version 1.
Currently our download database has nothing on it. We are still gathering
files.
ArgCmdr has lots of new art on YR Argentina: Please take a look: http://yrarg.cncguild.net
Currently we do not offer hosting until I have brought some more space;
this may be a little while.
We have 3 new articles written by Wize (Skywaters). One on Tiberian Dawn

Finally I know this is late but happy new year :) I hope you all had a
good christmas.

Article - CNC Guild Moving Server - Posted on 05 Jan 2003 by Des08tor |

Well
i have been planning to move server to a more reliable host for the last
few months. Hostonce are getting worse and worse. I have to find some
information out about this new host before i transfer the domain/server
over.
Before i transfer i have to see a few things. IF they seem good and reliable,
then the transfer will take place. If not we will stay here with hostonce
for the time being.
We are unsure if we are getting a new address or staying at cncguild.com
But one thing is certain we will be doing a move to a better host some
time this year.
