So, yeah - on December 10th, Bioware and Victory Games are unveiling the new Command and Conquer game, apparently.

Also unmentioned is that, alongside 'Command and Conquer: Arena' (which was poorly recycled into Tiberian Twilight), EALA was working on 'Project Cameo', which was a first person Command and Conquer: Generals game.

Westwood, and their successor teams at EA, have been known to fuck around with concepts, bringing them into later games or recycling them constantly into new forms.

^Footage near the end.

All adds up, folks - Command and Conquer: Generals 2.

So, what do you all think? Another cluster-fuck like Command and Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight? Or something actually good?

 

I wouldn't mind a sequel to Generals. Would love me some more GLA.

Them makin another Tiberian Twilight sounds very possible though.

 

Meh. I've been turned off the C&C series since RA3 came out. I did enjoy Generals though, so I'll probably 'acquire' this game a week or two after it comes out.

 

Given the crap C&C titles that EA had been producing, I will not purchase it.

 

It's Generals 2, bitches, developed by Bioware.

In the near future, world leaders are mere seconds from signing a global treaty and bringing an end to war as we know it when a devastating terrorist attack rips through the peace conference, killing all in attendance. In a world left with no politicians, diplomats, or activists, only the Generals remain. It's up to you to assume their roles, command their forces, and put an end to global terrorism once and for all.

All-Out War — Take control of three unique factions, competing for resources, building up your base of operation, and leading massive batteries of tanks, soldiers, and aircraft into battle.

Uncanny Sense of Realism — Frostbite 2 technology allows for visceral, visually stunning conflict at an epic scale. Incredibly detailed units and environments, dynamic physics, and exhilarating visual effects bring the battle to life in ways never before seen. This is the closest thing to real war without the consequences.

New Ways to Dominate or Ally with Your Friends — Go beyond classic deathmatch with a selection of new multiplayer game modes, designed with both cooperative and competitive play in mind.

Thrilling Campaign — Command the war on terror in an electrifying single-player campaign. Experience the dramatic story from multiple perspectives — from heroic General to crazed terrorist — while engaging the enemy in pulse-pounding tactical combat.

Ever-Evolving Experience — Enhance your game with an expanding array of downloadable content. From maps and units to factions, campaigns, and more, the fight against terrorism is deeper than ever.
