Remember how awesome it was? The GDI and Nod games; the Allies and Soviets games. I think the best ever was Red Alert 2. I have something like 700 or 800 hours in that game. There were so many tactics you could use in that series...so much depth. The plots were actually really good, for a while. Up until maybe Tiberian Sun. Then the tone got too lighthearted, and the plots were pretty repetitive. I think naval combat really came of age with RA1. Great range of units for both Allies and Soviets. The Dreadnoughts and Aircraft Carriers were incredibly strong, but their difficulty in attacking balanced them out. Aegis Cruiser was awesome. When I think of the rockeeters I took out with that.

This series has pretty much stalled, right? Wasn't Command and Conquer 4 the last game, and didn't that come out quite a while ago? How am I supposed to feel about that?

They were making a Generals 2 game but I think it was online only (at least the beta was) and then they canceled it.

I also liked Renegade, though the escort quests at the end killed me.

Oh, the successor studio Petroglyph made Star Wars: Empire at War (meh) and 8-bit armies which is very, very similar to the original C&C in terms of interface and units, though it does play differently

Then it wouldn't be as popular as it is to this day and with a number of popular mods.

Just because a dozen people latched on to it and can't let go doesn't mean it's popular :/

Game felt like a casual mobile title before smart phones were even a thing
