It is a good thing that the title of a game is as short as possible so that folks will be able to remember it easily. Case in point, what was originally slated to be known as Command & Conquer: Generals 2 and now simply called Command & Conquer. Talk about going back to basics! I remember the first Command & Conquer well, where the mighty tanks who mowed down humans with impunity and had plenty of firepower were blocked by something as simple as…sandbags. Well, it seems as though that Command & Conquer beta will arrive sometime in the first half of next year, meaning you have at most, just 8 months left to wait.
According to Electronic Arts, they expect Command & Conquer beta to be the “longest running beta phase in franchise history”. Command & Conquer will be powered by the Frostbite 2 engine, which is the very same game engine which is behind hits such as Battlefield 3, Need for Speed: The Run, and Medal of Honor: Warfighter. Are you looking forward to the beta of Command & Conquer?

EA has announced something exciting that fans of the Command & Conquer franchise are sure to be happy about. The announcement came at Gamescom in Germany this week. It turns out that the previously announced Command & Conquer: Generals 2 has been transformed into a free-to-play video game, and will run on the Frostbite 2 engine, which powers the graphics in Battlefield 3.
Of course as is the case with most free-to-play games, you can bet that if you want to advance, you’ll need to spend some money. Buying upgrades is how these free-to-play titles make their money. The game will allow players to play an all-out war and take control of multiple factions, compete for resources, and build up bases of operation.
Players will be able to command massive batteries of tanks, soldiers, and aircraft during battle. The game promises to offer fully destructible environments, highly detailed units, dynamic physics, and exciting visual effects. The free game will be offered for PC only sometime in 2013, and you can register for the Beta here.
Despite being released only a couple of months ago, it looks like EA’s latest outing with the Command & Conquer franchise is proving to be a hit. The company announced that Tiberium Alliances has reached over one million users, and to celebrate the milestone, it is giving away a free starter pack to anybody who wants to play the game. The Free to Play model has no doubt influenced a lot of people to check out the game, but it also shows that the Command & Conquer brand name is still pretty valuable.
For those of you not in the know, Command & Conquer: Tiberium Alliances is a browser-based strategy game that puts players in control of managing resources, constructing buildings and units and waging war against each other in a post-apocalyptic battlefield. I have yet to give this game a shot, but those of you who are interested, be sure to enter: HMKV-VWGN-8GEH-6BTZ on the game’s official website to redeem some free Tiberium, Power, Credits and Crystals.
