I realise im VERY behind on one of my loved franchise, but I've only just found out.
So their I was watching the latest DICE video bragging about how BF4 using the NEW Frostbite3 engine and how it makes EVERYTHING look so realistic and act realistic. When they showed various other upcoming titles using the NEW engine. One of which was the NEW Command and Conquer.
I quickly rewind the video and glazed at the screenshot. My eyes weren't playing tricks on me. Its WAS another C&C game. After the Flop that was C&C4. I thought the franchise was dead. Generals2 Was talked about before C&C4 released and I assumed EA had done their usual and closed the book for GOOD! Command & Conquer or generals 2. I personally don't care what they call the game. It looks like its C&C back where it belongs. Building bases, gathering rescues and mass producing tanks.

It looks like a direct sequel to the first EA branded C&C. Generals turned the franchise on its head, for better or worse. Scraping the common Construction Yards for building vehicles, allowing multiple units to be crated at once and introducing the fan favourite General Points. MORE generals are on offer this time and with the added bonus of FREE-TO-PLAY, no one dare turn this down. C&C may not have invented Real Time Strategy, but it put it on the map and made it its own.
My fear is how the Free to play will work.....? Yes I realise it is free. BUT they must re-coup money some how. Limiting you to a certain tech tree or limiting the number of units. I don't know , BUT if my PC will run it I WILL tell you. Currently there's an option to apply for the closed BETA, once that's done. The Multiplayer aspect will be released first. Further co-op and a campaign for EACH of the factions will be realised over time.
There hasn't been a DECENT (in my eyes) C&C game since Tiberian Wars back in 2007. I miss the series and even now replay previous games. I know critics will AGAIN say, "yes, its good but no real change from other titles", that's what they always say. They tried to change the formula and look what happened the series almost died....! Stick to what the fans want and love and you cant go wrong.!!
