  • ISOTX has announced the details of their new Mid East mod, Mideast Crisis. Details at the site.
  • Tiberian Fields will be holding a Tiberian Sun World Cup where you get to represent your country. Sounds like a fun idea, and it will be part of the 10th anniversary celebration.
  • Under pressure from some, including quite a bit from me, Aaron Kaufman has said the following about EA's support in the CNC 10 celebration:
    I can assure you that EA (i.e. myself and others) will be fully supporting the C&C 10th anniversary as best we can along with the community. I’ve had initial conversations with CnCNZ regarding our participation and will loop you in on that. Rest assured it is an extremely important anniversary to us, and I want to make sure we are there leading the charge with you guys.

They plan to give an update about one of the mods every day for the next two weeks.
  • Red Alert: Chrono Device has a long media blitz on.
  • CNC DEN has six new ZH replays, a new ZH shell map, and a train garrisoning tutorial.
  • For those interested in what we will be doing for the CNC 10 celebration, I can confirm that I am working on getting a number of people to interview, both current EA employees and former Westwood ones. It's going to be nice to pick their brains on the subject of CNC.
