Every now and then, I'll be spotlighting some great mods for any of the C&C games. The number of mods spotlighted may range from just one to 10 depending on how many mods that have been updated with new news articles, features, images, videos etc.

Quote:This mod aims to make RA3 in more classic style and make it look more serious.
It will bring back some old units and structures from RA1 and RA2 and many new. And recreates units from old concepts.
And this mod will bring back Nuclear weapons
This mod is NOT full RA2 or RA1 conversion. It only have some units from these games.

Seems quite interesting and many of their models are high quality ones with awesome textures. I suggest you keep an eye on this mod!

Mod: The Forgotten
For: Command & Conquer 3
Command and Conquer 3: The Forgotten is a mod that aims to bring back and tell the story of a fascinating faction. The Forgotten, featured in Tiberian Sun and Firestorm are an ever-growing group of individuals who are afflicted with Tiberium-based illnesses. Detested, marginalized, and oppressed by the three superpowers, The Forgotten have begun to rally against GDI, Nod, and the Scrin.
Since their story is not featured in C&C 3, the mod aims to tell it in a compelling fashion, through a deep single-player campaign, unique faction composition, and engaging gameplay.
In addition, The Forgotten features High-Definition Full Motion Videos, just like real C&C games, that advance the story.
Remember the Forgotten, more info here.

Mod: Code 13
For: Command & Conquer Generals
Every Faction has its own Special Forces. Units which are basically Hero Units but less strong. Nonetheless, their usefulness should never be underestimated. Read more here.

CNCNZ has recently posted an interview with Coolness7 the leader of the C&C IV: Tiberian Eclipse Mod in this interview he discusses his work with his team on the Mod and he discusses some other stuff as well. Below are some of the questions.


Quote:Please tell us something about yourself and about your mod team?
I'm Damien, aka, Coolness7, aka, Naraku and I like Strategy games, Call of Duty, Need For Speed. I own a ps3 and I'm not as addicted to Starcraft 2 as some of the other people on the mod. The mod team does their best and even though there are about 20 of us, only about 6-10 of us get online at the same time (usually). Jay is the project coordinator and he runs the website, he's very helpful when he's not PO'd about something, and out of all of our team, everyone wants to do the storywriting, the team really comes up with great ideas and its a shame that we can't use them all.

As we all know you've made a great start with your mod so can you please tell us something about it?
This mod started out as an idea to bring classic gameplay to C&C4, but since a C&C4 SDK was never released and probably never will be, we decided to move the project over to C&C3. At first we all put together our ideas and we didn't have the experience to put the plan into motion, but as time went on, we got support and more great team members. This mod plans to bring the C&C4 class system into C&C3 and fuse it with traditional gameplay that we wanted to see in C&C4.

A new patch for the Red Alert: A Path Beyond Mod called Nuclear Winter has just released, This patch addresses balance issues and scoring problems that became apparent after Cold Fusion was launched.


More information can be found right here, Or head to this thread on their forums for more download mirrors and details from here.

As most of you know, EA never released a Mod SDK for Kane's Wrath, but an unofficial team has been working hard to create a tool that allows you to mod Kane's Wrath. It's not exactly like EA's SDKs, but it works perfectly.

Although, please notice that it is just an alpha version. It's only featuring MpGameRules, ArmorTemplate and LogicCommand at the moment, but they will continue expanding the tool.

Outstanding work, guys!
