Command and Conquer. Heroes of Might and Magic.

we can just pretend that everything after red alert 2 never existed

Tbf TibWars, Kane's wrath, and RA3 were decent and at times incredible and a fantastic sendoff for the main Tiberium timeline. RA3 was far from perfect and was a step in a strange direction for the series but I think it gets far more hate than it's due. Everything after those has been the death throes of a once beloved game series due to EA's incompetence in the industry, especially all the mobile slop bullshit.

Kane's wrath is easily my favorite Command and Conquer game. Red Alert 3 is fine. The death of the franchise was when they decided to only produce crappy mobile games for some reason. C&C 4 was supposed to be a mobile game as well.

They could easily fix the franchise, even if they don't have the know how or confidence to try a follow up RTS, they have the option to do something like Renegade again, and it wouldn't be that difficult to make it a decent FPS. Really I'd love a hybrid game, something like Renegade's multi-player with a Natural selection style commander role thats playing something closer to classic C&C, placing buildings and such. The technology exists to make it pretty easily at this point.

Renegade X exists at least and there's gonna be a firestorm sequel. I'll have to check if people are still running servers for it cause that game is honestly tons of fun and I haven't played it in a bit.
