Free-to-Play Command and Conquer Will Revisit Tiberium and Red Alert

[Old Father Eternity]

On a side note I find it funny how everybody seems to have their own idea of when they feel the series died.

To each their own, I still rather enjoyed TW especially with some of the mods and while I still consider RA3 a C&C game, it was rather big meh, fun to play occasionally but nothing more.

Genrally however everyone agrees that the fourth installement in the Tiberium universe is not to be named and marked the decent of the franchise as a whole into the dark underworld.

As far as I'm concerned Red Alert 3 was the last C&C I enjoyed playing and still do to the point where I'm now playing Red Alert 2 with the widescreen patch and doing LAN with a few friends to this day.

The skirmish vs AI does restore a tiny fraction of my faith but again the always online aspect just throws me right off since I could easily play Red Alert 3 and all those before it offline without the hassle.

And when anybody in the gaming industry says "tailored for you" I think it as yet another reason to squeeze some money from you so really it isn't tailored at all it's just another price tag that everyone else will eventually adopt to.

I'd want the game to have more focus on singleplayer with enough investments to make the game last a long time rather than focus mainly on multiplayer and have the investment be a large one that lasts only around 3 years tops because I can't see myself or many wanting to invest so much for so little time.

Free to play? I guess it'll cost me $5 to go harvest some resources though. Or $9.99 to rebuild my home base every time it gets destroyed. Nice try EA, but your bridge is burnt. Just die with some dignity for crying out loud.

The fact that they even needed a message in the first place shows how much they know of what gamers actually want. The campaigns for C+C have always been a large part of the game.

On a side note I find it funny how everybody has their own idea of when they feel the series died. For me the last decent game was Generals and it's expansion pack.

Tiberian Sun was the last C&C, the following games were just using the name/s. After TS Westwood was killed by EA and the series changed to their vision, which while fun RTS games aren't apart of the C&C universe, just RTS games with the name slapped on. Red Alert 2 was an 'alternate universe', Generals had nothing to do with its cannon (I don't even consider it C&C, its just generals a fun EA RTS game. C&C 3 could arguably be called the last one since it used so much of the story, concept art etc that WW created before they were culled, but its a shadow of what was in progress. And the rest are just fun coop rts games.
