Forums - Gaming - Command & Conquer going F2P

 

Command & Conquer: Generals 2 will be called Command & Conquer. It is developed by Bioware Victory. And it runs on the Frostbyte Engine. Command & Conquer will be a Free to play game

As a "Comand&Conquer Generals" player since 2005 I'm a bit worried about this  recent action EA is taking.The single player missions are not in development anymore which mean alot for a true "Generals" fan but that also means that "Bioware" developers  now can work toward a more good multiplayer experience (like more balance between faction's and interesting new units for a variety of different strategies) and F2P is the  new "GOLD MINE" for publishers and they will mine it untill the last "piece of ore ".I hope that F2P doesn't affect the game quality (doesn't from screenshot's and videos the game looks awesome) but a good thing  from F2P is that it will raise the Comand&Conquer community maybe with the right advertisements it can become the biggest RTS game community in the world (it is possible) plus I hope "Comand&Conquer" will have a rise in esports ("Starcraft 2" everywhere everywhere :(  its geting boring  ) 



Meh. In this case, F2P clearly means they aren't going to be making the best product possible but the one that makes the most money, and I'm fairly sure those two aren't even the same thing. I think I'll pass this.



This may mean they'll balance patch it for the long run to keep players involved so they can make money. Only Blizzard does this, many other RTSs have died due to developer neglect and balance issues.



wait isn't there already a free 2 play C&C game?

Gwaaaah, this is rather annoying. I really don't want to be playing a game and have it constantly blocking my progress asking me for money

The thing is, if it is well designed, then there isn't a way where they can give you the option to pay to have everything, since they are just designed to ask you for money every step of the way



What? So does this mean there's going to be no single-player campaign, no skirmish mode? Those are the two reasons I bought & loved older C&C games. Especially Generals and Zero Hour, still play those regularly. What a load of bull.



I think this basically means this game i totally focused on MP
