I don't think that even a tank will take away from the fact it's very likely to be a lacklustre game..EA AND F2P..really don't hold out much hope, especially after C&C4 which was a poor deviation from the main series.
I really hope that I am wrong and we see a return to classic C&C action (complete with resource collection, walls, turtling, tank rushes etc)...but with an RTS games the "addon" micropayment side of things has such huge scope that I can see it ruining the game.
Given EA'S tendancy to read "Free to play" as "Pay to Cheat" as evidenced by all their recent games (e.g. BF3's "pay to unlock"), I fully expect to be dissapointed :(
I would put the loss of Westwood studios up there with Mucky Foot, Rare, Bullfrog..a big loss to the industry
One to watch I've been playing the Command & Conquer range of game for years, keep it running
Games for gamers, are run by the gamers these days. I'm so proud of the Forged Alliance Forever community. After official patch support for Supreme Commander stopped and then the official game servers were closed, the talented community developed their own client. Now the game is still popular with a core set of players, maybe a thousand, we develop the game overselves, patch it as we see fit, have online map vaults, chat, official mod support, even added new game modes.
Unfortunately this is the only way to get the game we want, and I suspect it's probably true of most games. The focus on longevity and game experience is only a factor considered if these aspects make money, which most of the time is obviously the reverse.
I'm just glad the mod scene and indie development is alive and healthy.
In my humble opinion nothing will beat C&C3 Tiberium wars, I realize it is a parallel series, but it was by far the best one
Command and Conquer 4 was utter turd and EA know it. Completely different team developing this. If they can recapture the spirit of Command and Conquer: Generals then it could be a winner. Generals never seemed to quite get the recognition it deserved and was very playable (I was playing it yesterday, in fact).
