E3 Starts Today | Gobalopper @ 11:50 CST
E3, or Electronic Entertainment Expo, starts today which means we should be hearing more about Westwood's latest games. They will probably only be releasing news on Renegade and Red Alert 2 but they may sneak some other news in there :)
If you want to find out more about the expo you can visit their official site or The Adrenaline Vault for some of the latest news from the show floor.

5+ Player Games on WWO | Gobalopper @ 20:33 CST
Did you know you could play 5+ player games with Dune 2000 on Westwood Online? It has been mentioned a few times but I had yet to see it. Well I checked it out today and had a chance to play in a 5 player game. I think I know why Westwood didn't include the option in the first place, it is way too slow. If you don't have a cable connection or someone you are playing is on dialup you are probably going to experience a lot of lag. The other problem is that there are only a few people that know how to host games like this. I'm not sure if it's a patch or someone hacked their game but as of right now you can only hope someone is hosting a 5 or 6 player game when you show up in the lobby. I will ask Westwood about it later this week.

More Developments | Gobalopper @ 23:12 CST
Just saw this story mentioned at CNCNZ that says Westwood will not be showing Pirates of Skull Cove at E3 as well as a still "unannounced" title from Westwood:

Additionally, Westwood has cancelled plans to show the other as-yet-unannounced title it has under development. That still leaves the company with Command & Conquer: Renegade and Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 on display at the show.

Destroyer who is working on Dune: The Desert Sun has an update concerning the status of his Tiberian Sun MOD. He plans on giving updates every month, this is the first:

I have completed all the units for the Atreides and Harkonnen listed on the page. My other programer is working on making an airstrike super weapon and adding support for a third or even more sides. One artists is working on the title screen, while the other is making unit graphics. The story writer is brainstorming currently and has just re-read Dune. Level production has yet to start. Also, ideas for things not listed on the page are under work and the information on those will be realsed when we are sure we will be using them.
