Command & Conquer 4 Announced For 2010

Posted by Soulskill on from the i-hope-they-bring-back-invincible-sand-bags dept.

EA has officially announced that Command & Conquer 4 will be coming to the PC sometime next year. They say it will bring the Tiberium series to an "epic conclusion," while introducing "new class-based gameplay, mobile bases and persistent player progression throughout all game modes." In an interview with Gamespot, designer Samuel Bass elaborated: "Our 'offense class' is your classic RTS faction, tank-oriented and focused on frontline combat. With the 'defense class,' however, the emphasis is on infantry, bunkers, and turrets, which lets you build complex defensive grids and really hold down a section of the battlefield. Lastly, we come to the 'support class,' which is based around utilizing a selection of aircraft and custom vehicles to traverse the environment. Once engaged in combat, support players can fight directly or assist their teammates with a variety of powers and [healing abilities]."

    The RTS genre officially died when it was announced that StarCraft II will not have LAN. You may pay your respects to Company of Heroes and all of its expansions.

    You're just an idiot cause the game was never open sourced nor was it's engine, Spring was made by yankspankers guys from the ground up.
