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]."

    Your joking, right?

    C&C Has to be the most horrid game I've ever played, totally unworthy of the "Best RTS" title. That title belongs to Starcraft.

    On the breathless anticipation of starcraft 2. Gosh knows SC2 wont be released by then, so they can extract some bucks from those folks wanting to whet their appetite for some RTS.

    Starcraft? With its wildly unbalanced units and terrible interface? That game is a joke to every RTS player I know.

  4. Will it run on my "PC" by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    My PC runs Linux. Or is this not in fact a game for "PC" but really for "Windows"? Or does it run on just PC hardware without requiring any OS? Also, will this run on an average wintendo machine running win98, or will it require Shitsta? (also known/rebranded as "Windows Seven")
