Extremely low-budget cutscenes: even though the game is set in 2077, on a near-uninhabitable Earth where Tiberium is everywhere, custscenes show the same clean environment, technology and fashion as 2010 (when they were shot).Unmemorable cast of characters, in fact, none of the characters from previous installments ever appear in this game.

The series’ recurring villain, Kane, goes out-of-character (being a hero, for instance) for most of the campaign mode.

Completely weak storyline, complete with a disappointing ending to boot.

Despite the story implies that tiberium (which were the main resources that can be collected to build a base and units) has spread around the world, instead you had to collect a small pieces of tiberium from specific spots to upgrade units or activate skills.

The essential collection at an incredible value from the best-selling Real-Time Strategy franchise of all time.

The multiplayer has a completely awful leveling up system, which can always lead to unbalanced matches. Command & Conquer 4 Tiberian Twilight The top 3 reasons to play Command and Conquer: The Ultimate Collection PC.

To make matters worse, EA said that the game wouldn’t have any DRM.

You need to have a constant connection to the internet to play the game, in other words, Online DRM.

The game is a complete grindfest if you need more units, unless you're playing the Skirmish mode.

In fact, they just sort of disappear, even though the third game (and its expansion pack, Kane’s Wrath) heavily implied that the Scrin would launch another attack on Earth.

The Scrin from the third game is no longer playable, much to the chagrin of fans and players alike.This is caused by the fact that the game was originally going to be an MMO spinoff before being merged into the main series. There is no base building, no resource gathering, no sidebar, and for some reason, a population cap (from the console versions of Red Alert 3 and Command & Conquer 3) is added.

Overly different gameplay from the earlier games.
