The next Command and Conquer won’t smell bad like the last game

I'm a pretty big Command and Conquer fan. Or I was, until the last couple of games hit the PC. They'd devolved into something that was just plain...awful, and I wept manly tears of frustration at this. But with an upcoming F2P title on the horizon, we might finally get the old CnC back.

Command and Conquer to revisit Tiberium and Red Alert universe, explore new fictions

February 26, 2013 at 10:30 am | 14 Comments

Hey, remember good ol’ Command and Conquer? And by good ol’ I mean all the games up to the Kane’s Wrath expansion for Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. Those titles following on after those magnificent masterpieces can go jump off a cliff. The franchise has been largely under the radar since EA announced that it would be returning as a free to play title. It’s out later this year, and it’ll be set in the Generals universe from that franchise…amongst others.

Command and Conquer Generals 2 will have a single-player campaign, eventually

Good news everyone! While the news that Command and Conquer: Generals 2 shifting to a free to play model hasn’t exactly been met with arms wide open, as fans have lamented over the fact that this latest entry into the franchise would be solely online, multiplayer only. Except that some single-player campaign action might be around the corner. Eventually that is.

Gamescom 2012: Command and Conquer Generals 2 goes free-to-play

Ha! Gavin owes me R20 now, as I just won a bet about which game would be the next to go free-to-play. Yep, I’ll be spending that money on a box of Lipton teabags, much to his chagrin, as EA has announced that their upcoming strategy title will be a freemium title.

Is Bioware making the new Command and Conquer?

November 23, 2011 at 1:30 pm | 7 Comments

We showed you, not too long ago, a shot of Bioware’s new game - something that looks very modern combatty. Similarly, we told you that EA - the publisher that owns Bioware - was bringing Command and Conquer back.

Could they be one and the same game?

Command and Conquer Red Alert Demo on Live

November 28, 2008 at 1:00 pm | 0 Comments

Major Nelson announced on his blog last night that the Command and Conquer Red Alert 3 Demo has gone live on Xbox Live. So what does the demo hold in store? It's strictly a SP demo which is unfortunate, but does feature the game's cinematic opening (oh I'm so excited), 1 campaign mission from both the Soviet and Allied campaigns and an interactive tutorial. So in total and in simple terms - a tutorial and 2 levels.

The full game features 3 full campaigns playable in solo or co-op online, a skirmish mode against 9 formidable commanders and multiplayer over Xbox LIVE. So you may want to skip the 1.5G demo and consider saving the money spent on cap so that you can spend it on the full game instead.

EA wants us all to play the guessing game!

November 7, 2008 at 11:00 am | 2 Comments

Here's a funny one. A whole bunch of Red Alert 3 manuals had some printing issues that cause the 20th digit or letter to not be printed in the games security key. So EA has taken the incredible approach of asking an owner to guess. They replied to his query by recommending that he "enter your existing code, and try guessing the last character". Cool, that means that he could land up having to punch the code in around 36 times as it could be anything from A - Z and then 0 - 9. Sounds like a fun mission, does it unlock any special vehicles? Then again, at least Red Alert came with it's code (Poke, poke, Microsoft). source: GameBrit
