Command and Conquer

Okay, at first I was excited when I saw the Generals 2 trailer, then, the bad news came. You said, " WE'RE GONNA TAKE DOWN THE SERVERS OF COMMAND AND CONQUER: GENERALS!" I was upset, but I still wasn't ready to give up, because I thought, "Well, I can play single-player until 2013, that's fine." THEN YOU GO AND SAY YOU'RE NOT MAKING A C&C:GENERALS 2! What the hell! My favorite game, and first PC game was Generals, but now, now you've ruined the game for me. Not just the Generals series, but the whole Command and Conquer series. The story of Command and Conquer is what makes it important, and putting all of the futuristic crap from the other games doesn't help. Just, please do one thing... Ask the fans and players, not the reviewers, please.

Here's what the majority of your fans, including me, think:

    First of all this belongs here and not on this board. But anyway let me respond to that video of yours.

    At 0:30 he says the game will be multiplayer only. This is not correct, I don't know where he's getting his info from but EA has never said anything of the sort.

    At 0:36 he says they're gonna use factions from the other universes. Again that is just incorrect, they are going to use the engine platform to run future games to cut production time. This is not going to be an official C&C All Stars Mod.

    At 1:10 he says RA3 failed because it was made for consoles. That's up to debate but I'd hardly call him correct. RA3 failed because it tried to fix Tiberium Wars' and Kane's Wrath's insane balance problems and ended up taking to many tactical choices and rushes out of the game. Both C&C3 and Kane's Wrath were on consoles and they were very good.

    At 2:58 he says Westwood made good games until they were closed. No sorry, that's not true. Earth and Beyond was crap, not to mention the three or four games they never finished.

    At around 6:00 he says EA's innovation ruined C&C and compares it to SC2 who didn't change anything. That's because SC2 was released 12 years after SC1 but C&C releases a game every two years or so. Then you have to innovate else it stales.

    But from 6:00 and onwards he damns innovation for four whole minutes in already a way too long video while completely ignoring the fact that EA isn't trying to innovate with the new game but to return to the basics. What's his point, if any?

    The point is that the new Command and Conquer is Generals 2 in all but name. They are using all they had made in the new game and the only major difference being the distribution method. There will be single player, there will be a campaign (not at launch though) and it will be a traditional C&C game. If you still aren't convinced head on over to the link provided above and complain there. There are plenty of people there willing to reiterate what I've just said.
