Talk:Westwood Studios

Multiple Citation Problems

This article has only two citations, and neither of which tell half the information in this article. There is a lack of inline citations as well. Can we clean up this article a bit?

Renegade

"One of the last games released by Westwood, Command & Conquer: Renegade (an action game which mixed elements from first-person shooters and real-time strategy games) failed to meet consumer expectations and commercial goals Westwood and EA had set for it." Absolutely wrong as proved by http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3695&Itemid=2&limit=1&limitstart=2 number 79 of the best selling games of the 21st century, could someone remove this please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.157.233.167 (talk) 22:30, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Renegade was going to be such a great game, just look at the old beta game assets and screenshots. EA had to ruin it, like they ruined TS and RA2. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.244.250.215 (talk) 00:38, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Blue Logo

Where did the blue Logo come from?

The blue logo is from the intro animation of Dune II

Didn't they change it to green somewhere before 1995? OAM 00:41, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes they did. I just uploaded the green colored logo.Peter Tangney 01:38, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

My first

I just wanted to state that this was perhaps my first RTS gamemaker company, thank you for introducing me! :-)

MONOPOLY GAME

Westwood also did a CD version of Parker Brother's MONOPOLY game, which was distributed by Virgin Interactive Entertainment back in 1995. It was licensed by Parker Brothers, which is now a Division of Tonka Corporation. - SSG Cornelius Seon (Retired) 18:14, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Ya, I own that game, it says Westwood Studios on the case and the multiplayer is Westwood Chat which is a online gaming service similar to Westwood Online (only a lot older and kinda run down).--4.245.79.41 (talk) 16:20, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Discrepancy with final Westwood Employee leaving

According to the main paragraph "The last former Westwood employee quit working for Electronic Arts after the release of Command & Conquer: Generals in 2003."

Whereas in the second-to-last paragraph in the "History" section states "The last Westwood employee quit after the release of Command & Conquer: Renegade." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wolfscopez (talk • contribs) 02:52, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
