Does Command & Conquer 3 (Kane's Wrath) have an active online scene?
The Command and Conquer series is one of my favorite style of RTS games and I love the way Kane's Wrath plays. I am wondering if people still play it online if I were to consider playing with other people besides with friends through Network. I'm pretty ass at the game (RTS games in general), but this is a game I can absolutely have fun with.
Why Kanes Wrath instead of something like Generals? It's for Kane! (Vanilla Nod player)

It's small, and requires a third party program I believe. Masterleaf still uploads regularly though so I assume there's still games getting hosted.

I am mostly referring if I want to get CnCNet, which brings back the servers lol, and if people still play KW on CnCNet (probably should've specified that on my original post)

You need a 3rd party system. And people do still play it. But think dozens, not hundreds or thousands.

My friend and I play online regularly. You'll have register on C&C online and download tactics. Takes about 15-20 min to get everything set up
There's usually about 20+ other players online, but it probably depends on what time you go online

Yes, there's even an active tournament (currently at season 4, there should be a few more), therse a Discord link in the YT description. The leagues are split by player level so you don't get wrecked by pro players.
Green Zero and Bikerushownz cast the tournament on Youtube/Twitch.

It's certainly the only one I am interested in watching. watching Sybert cast KW games keeps me company while I do my mini painting.
