Sprony Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 About 5 days ago word got out that Generals 2 will be turned into a free to play game. More on that here. It will be a part of the Command and Conquer online hub. If that wasn't enough, it's now announced that there will be no single player campaign. After the smack in the face that was C&C4, I've now lost absolutely all faith in this once glorious franchise. I already see it happening: Achievement unlocked: You have built your first unit You have won the battle Buy more resources This is a sad day indeed. Sorry to be negative, but come on, tell me I ain't right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grinwhrl Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 That's pretty sad. Businessmen/women corrupting gaming 1 day at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrik Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I only played the Command & Conquer games for their single-player campaigns and amusing cinematics, so this is pretty much a complete fail for me. Was looking forward to a new Generals too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PogoP Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I'm really disappointed with where Command and Conquer has gone as well. I keep thinking to myself, maybe in another timeline, C&C went on to even better things after RA2. Maybe the Soviets won afterall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprony Posted October 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Game got cancelled and the studio is shut down. Sucks for the people who worked there. EA is sitting on a pile of gold but they are too retarded to know how to dig it up. http://www.polygon.com/2013/10/29/5043244/ea-cancels-free-to-play-command-and-conquer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PogoP Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Fuck, sorry to hear about the studio.. But ffs why the hell can they not make a decent C&C game? I'd love to see a proper return to the original style... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-HP- Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 I honestly can't believe this! They just need to grab the formula and make another game, Generals was unique in it's prime man! blackdog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izuno Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 I met the Studio GM last year at a holiday party and while said person was talking about how to make it successful as F2P I kept thinking: "Don't" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimeray Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 That's the 2nd F2P studio EA closed then this year :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dux Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 I bet the actual game was good, but because it had to be tied into this free to wank crap it caused a lot of dumb problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShockaPop Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 I bet the actual game was good, but because it had to be tied into this free to wank crap it caused a lot of dumb problems. I agree. Also, "Free 2 Wank" just became my synonym for "F2P". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackdog Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Another dig today sorry, I blame the "related videos" sidebar! Pivac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pivac Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 I stumbled upon that video a few days ago. So nostalgic, I made my first map ever in original C&C Generals World Builder. And Generals 2 looked promising. Let's hope C&C is not dead and something pops up on the horizon soon. It's been too long. blackdog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
