Sadly abd you already have noticed that we aren’t that active in the C&C Community anymore…
EA let us down a lot and sadly everytime we seen C&C Generals and the Tiberium Series we have good memory’s but also sad ones.
Every time we look at our Mod projects we are motivated to continue because its awesome but de-motivate us very fast because of the actions EA took.
For C&C Tiberium Icestorn & C&C Renovatio… Yes… We are scared of a cease and desist going to move to a new engine.
Since we still want to use the influences of C&C’s Designs but a brand new stand alone game.
EA Released a couple of High Resolution C&C Generals 2 Screenshots & Concept Art!
Personally I really like the amazing Graphics they pulled out of the FB2.0 Engine for RTS Goals!
GLA and the EU looks amazing and gives a great mood!
C&C Generals 2 seems how C&C Generals had to be in the first place. EU, GLA, China and USA with those selective Generals. As Sam Bass told in a Interview you could Select Generals like the (Tank General) for instance to Steam Roll some tanks and Specialties.
Take a Look at those amazing screenshots! And see ya in the Beta!
EA Released a Trailer at GamesCon from the new upcoming Free 2 Play Title Command & Conquer.
So far we personally things this is C&C Generals 2 but Free 2 Play, It has a Origin Installation but it wont be a Retail “Hardcopy” Game!
Also EA Removed the C&C Generals 2 Section on the main website of www.commandandconquer.com
So does that mean Generals 2 will be different or Command & Conquer “Free” is Generals 2 but just Renamed!
Why is this free?
As we talked with more strategy fans, we found major interest in a free-to-play game, as long as it maintained authenticity to the franchise and exceeded expectations for a modern AAA RTS.

The Generals 2 universe is the first of many free offerings that we will deliver with Command & Conquer. You can sign up for a chance to get beta access at www.CommandandConquer.com/free.
Will it still use Frostbite?
Yes, Command & Conquer is powered by Frostbite 2 . the powerful engine you may know from Battlefield 3. You will be able to experience the cutting edge visuals, sound and destruction of a full AAA frontline franchise for free.
Is this a browser game? Is this a social or Facebook game?
No, Command & Conquer is a full standalone client . a high quality game powered by Frostbite 2.
Can I really play it for free?

What happens to Generals 2?
The Generals 2 universe will be the first of many free offerings that we will deliver with Command & Conquer. The content that we have already created will be part of this new free-to-play experience.

What is the difference between this new Command & Conquer and the Tiberium Alliances game?
Command & Conquer Tiberium Alliances is a free, browser based Strategy-MMO game that introduces a new way for players to experience the Tiberium universe. This new Command & Conquer is a more traditional, full client RTS experience, powered by Frostbite 2 with stunning graphics and full destruction. Players will be immersed in high-octane strategy as they compete for resources, build up bases and lead massive armies into battle.
Will the service be available on consoles?
We’re fully focused on delivering a high quality experience on PC at launch.
– Nod is available as a player faction on the reopened Closed Beta Servers
Please note, that is not possible to switch from GDI to Nod. You have to make a fresh game on a CB-server, starting by Lvl 1.
– Point of Interests now provide their boosts
Note that the unboosted resource production and combat strength is reduced compared to before the patch, but the boost can be about twice as strong as the reduction.
New features:
General balancing adjustments:
– Obstacles in the defense area (wood, oil slicks, etc.) now slow down units by 50% (used to be 25%)
– Forgotten bases are more challenging to take out: They repair themselves significantly faster: Now it takes only 1 hour for an almost completely destroyed Forgotten base to repair all its damage.
– Limit on Plunder Introduced a limit on how much plunder one can get when attacking another player. The limit depends on the army level of the attacker. This is to stop the exploit, where players sell everything in their base and “give” the resources to a friendly player.
– Prioritization Change in target prioritization for offense units: Attacking the defense units in front of an offense unit have now a higher priority than defense units left/right or behind the offense unit. (Doesn’t overwrite the preference for primary targets. E.g. a Guardian still attacks an infantry unit to its left when blocked by a vehicle.)
– Offense All offense units need slightly more repair time, encouraging the use of armies from multiple bases slightly earlier.
Forgotten Balancing:
– SAM Site, Decreased damage VS air
– Scooper, Decreased life and damage, No damage VS air, Spawns more often and at camp lvl 11 and higher
– Reaper Artillery, Decreased damage VS vehicles and air
– Demolisher Artillery, Decreased damage VS infantry
– Movement of all units decreased
New units:
– Forgotten Sniper, Medium ranged infantry, good against infantry Spawns in bases 17+, Outposts 19+ and Camps 22+
– Forgotten Mammoth, Strong vehicle, good against vehicles, Spawns in bases 18+, Outposts 20+ and Camps 23+
GDI Balancing Offense:
– Zone Trooper Increased life Increased damage VS vehicles and walls
– Firehawk Decreased ammo
GDI Balancing Defense:
– Zone Trooper Increased life Increased damage VS vehicles and air
– MG Nest Decreased damage VS vehicles Deals Crossover-damage to vehicles
– Sniper Decreased damage Increased range from 2.5 to 3.5
– Flak Increased damage VS air
– Watchtower Increased damage VS infantry Decreased damage VS vehicles and air
– Titan Artillery Decreased damage VS infantry
– SAM Site Decreased damage VS air
