Command and Conquer General revamp coming soon!

The highly successful expansion from the Command and Conquer series is now back with a new update. Command and Conquer Generals 2 is coming soon! I kinda of bet you would have read of this news online already.










This piece of good news comes amidst the online backlash that EA Games faced when they decided to drop Westwood Studios. Loyal fans complained about the lousy gameplay that Command and Conquer 4 and Red Alert 3 have, some have even gave up on the Command and Conquer series totally.






A quick shot of an EU tank rolling down the street toward the convoy. We can't be sure if it's a Crusader or a Paladin -- if it's either one, it's been heavily redesigned -- but it's definitely a tank. It may have fired the shell that destroyed the Technical, but we're not sure. Those treads are amazingly detailed -- so many moving parts! 


EA Games have decided to team up with BioWare to create the new series with Frostbite 2, with a release date slated to be around 2013. It is slated to be only for the PC platform. Although I believe EA would release a slimdown version for mobile devices running on Android or Apple's iOS platform, given that PC game sales would not be spared from the industry shift to mobile gaming devices and platforms.



Can EA come out with other factions rather than playing with the 3 common factions, mainly USA, China and GLA? Given that the terror threat for terrorist organisations have died down quite recently, the GLA faction would not be an compelling idea. Maybe the inclusion of India and Russia to replace GLA would do this franchise good. The inclusion of EU into the picture give new breath into the gameplay. As for me, I am excited as I am a loyal fan of Command and Conquer, especially the Generals Zero Hour edition.
