No Single Player for Command and Conquer: Generals 2

[Scorpid]

THIS GUY AND HIS STORY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP THE C&C FRANCHISE!? Have you gone completely mental EA/Bioware? In the RTS market Kane is without a doubt its most recognizable face... sigh. I know that the Generals franchise isn't the same as the main franchise but to say Command and Conquers early success has nothing to do with Kane and his cheesy plots is like saying Mario and Princess Peach aren't integral to the success of the Mario franchise. People might love the platforming but it's not why they stayed. There have been many other Mario pretenders out there some no doubt with better gameplay but people like Mario and Princess peach and the world they live in...

Hang on a second, I need to step out for a moment.

*steps outside. Cue incoherent and inaudible screaming and swearing*

Join me! As I run to the forest, away from this madness we call society! To the woods, where madness like this can't happen! And to shout at animals.. Because god DAMNIT this pisses me off.

 

[gibboss28]

Well no shit, I wasn't expecting it to have a single player. Especially after the news that it would be a F2P multiplayer game, who was?

 

[nickpy]

Thanks, but no thanks EA.

 

[One of Many]

Excuse me, I need to smash my forehead against a cement wall until the urge to repeated stab John Van Caneghem in the stomach with a blunt, rusty piece of steel fades away.

 

[Micah Weil]

...eh. I've got First Decade. I'll pass, thank you.

 

[gigastar]

Isn't Generals the one that absofuckinlutely sucked anyway? The one with shittier AI than any previous C&C game and indeed possibly any previous RTT ever?

Y'know, the one no one would've bought anyway?

The fanbase is completely broken. Asking the C&C official forum which C&C game was best is like asking Pokemon fans which generation was best.

 

[GenericAmerican]

Back to roots? I don't' seem to remember ever playing a single online match for the First C&C Generals. . .

Well, this completely dropped off my "might be worth a look" list.

 

[mattttherman3]

I predict this game flops. No, I guarentee it. Sorry but even MMO's let you do quests alone. There is no excuse for this. BioWare is known for single player so you really are not playing to their talents...

 

[gigastar]

Activision killed Blizzard
EA is killing Bioware

Oh great, another one.

It is NOT Bioware developing Genrals 2.

The studio was renamed Bioware Victory after the formal announcement of Generals 2 at the Spike VGA's last year.

Here's a view of EA headquaters

Spoiler: For the sins EA has committed against gaming

OT:Really? EA are you that stupid... Wait that would just be an insult to stupid people. Why would you do this? The fans aren't going to be happy with it. Newcomers aren't going to be happy with it. EA, you need medication or something.

Well, here's to EA raping yet another childhood favorite. Srsly, RTS without single player? I only played RTS multi at a few LAN parties back in high school - I have no interest in playing online with a bunch of strangers.

I'd rather they make an old-fashioned C&C game that I need to pay for than a multiplayer fuckup that is name-only with what I once loved and free.

Skirmishes *grumbles* What's next, the C&C FPS?

 

[Karelwolfpup]

Wow... mulitplayer is somehow the staple of C&C? not when I got my first C&C game it wasn't.

I didn't mind Generals that much, multiplayer could be fun against people but the learning curve was tough. When it came to Red Alert 3 however... Jesus... too many options for unit abilities and how to use them.

I dunno, I might give Generals 2 a bash but... eh... wary of it tbh

*looks it up* Well look at that. I only ever payed attention to the RTSs

FPS are of little interest to me in general. Your comment just saves me the trouble of checking it out anyway

Glad I saved you the time and heartbreak then XDD ^w^

What is up with people and e-sports right now? First black ops 2 and now this. Since when was tournaments and prizes the thing that sold copies?

This is NOT "EA's popular modern warfare RTS franchise", it's Westwood who made it big, made the name mean something.
The buffoons at EA (and somehow bioware is now involved in c&c too...) just shit all over it.

Actually, EA developed the spin-off C&C generals...So, EA are screwing over their own game. Funny.
