Command & Conquer: Generals 2 coming from BioWare Victory

The graphics will be great, but will it limit the number of units you can have at once?  Especially on lower end systems.  Also its a long time to wait especially if the 2012 prophecy is true.

I liked the first one a lot but I'm not sure we needed a sequel 10 years later.

looks kinda nice...hope they retain like the last westwood does n improved it abit...n not too close like red alert 3 or Tiberium 4..coz it sucks...lolx..imho.....just love the effect n all...but dint know how the gameplay gonna work...

I wish one thing though, please no more futuristic crap, add units like Wargames European Escalation have, good ol' tanks and bmps with correct camos, the way i see this is like they decided that tanks with shiny metallic and brightly displayed color is more practical as long as they can shoot particle missiles and triple explosive laser, and please, don't release the game before having a public test. Learning from other games and listen to fans will actually put games like these right back on track. But I hope this is not a wishful thinking.......

If this even smells remotely like C&C4 I will send a plethora of Tanya's and Commandos to EA....around the back where they don't see it coming...

This looks promising, and I think that EA is trying to convince the gamers that they can still make class AAA RTS games. I hope when it comes out, and satisfies the gamers, the gamers would accept the idea of EA making a new C&C tiberium game or remake the disappointing C&C4 (THAT IS IF EA DO COME UP TO THE IDEA OF LISTENING TO THE C&C FANS WORLDWIDE).

seriously don't f*ck this up -.-

So that's gonna be 10 years after the original, and they anounced it 2 years before its release. They better not screw it up.

"i will work, i am hungry, thank you for the new shoes" GLA FTW

I didn't know bioware also made strategy games, can't wait to try this out!

why not doing red alert 4 to make up for this sh*ty red alert 3

Oh EA, you make my choice so easy. Thanks, but keep your Origin Trojan DRM. "I was once buying EA games, but then they shot themselves with Origin in the knee." I'm done with EA (and Ubisoft).

looks more like C&C Tiberium than Generals, HOPEFULLY EA will listen to the fans this time and not screw it up

I loved generals but bioware... come on

NO NO NO JUST NO, EA needs to get the freaking hand off C&C before they destroy more then they already have. @Renzokukenexe Westwood did that after the first C&C game EA spit out that was trash.

@Zevvion all I have to do is look at the other half dozen attempts in the last 5-6 years ... all failures. Doesn't look good.

@ColdfireTrilogy I'm afraid of that too. Even though I'm a console gamer mostly, I still regularly play on PC for a number of reasons and different games like RTS games and Generals is my favorite RTS of all time. However, it doesn't necessarily have to be downgraded in order to work well on consoles. Remember Supreme Commander? SupCom2 was criticized for being too focussed on console gamers right? Everyone wished it was like the first SupCom correct? Many people do not realized the first SupCom was actually also available on Xbox 360 and it actually played really well. I've played it on there (as well as PC) and for a console, it had really good controls. As I played it on console first and later PC, I was actually faster on consoles with orders and build ques at first than on PC. It took me a while before I was much faster on PC, so that's saying something. My point is, even though Generals 2 will probably come to consoles, it doesn't have to mean it will be watered down on PC and it would certainly not be an excuse. I'll give SupCom as an example. While obviously the PC version was superior, it's still the best RTS game done on consoles in my opinion.

Will be tailored to fit the consoles (yet unannounced to keep PC fans from /quitting right away), will be a watered down husk of its original self. Don't look at me weirdly when I say, "calllllleedddd itttttttt"

even though this is great news, i think they should have waited untill it was just a tad closer to being released, its basicly 2 years away!!!! there was no point in releasing anything on it at all yet in my opinion.

While I would love nothing more than to play a good C&C game like back in the day I think this is just a travesty. 1) Bioware? While EA is clearly doing this just for the bioware recognition this is in no way a good thing. However it's not necessarily a bad thing either. 2) Generals 2? Sorry for the people who liked it but the Generals series was the worst of the 3. Should have just left it buried and came up with a new series. Hey but on a good note, it looks pretty

@JasPlun You don't give a damn about storytelling in this kinda games? And there goes the full Warcraft story...

Just to let people know. the Bioware team making this isn't the real "bioware", the original bioware team is from alberta,canada. EA screwed Bioware into 8 smaller bioware teams. So EA can technically use "from bioware".

The only thing I like about this is the extremely off chance that Red Alert 2 will go freeware.

I have a question, why is every studio that EA picks up now or just small being merged into Bioware? Do they have no confidence in these studios to exist on their own merit or what?

Hooray for Generals 2! I am happy that there is no console versions, rts genre games are made for mouse+keyboard tandem. P.S. Halo Wars was piece of junk.

While the video alone is enough to have my inner child running round the room like a nut case doing cartwheels my adult self is a bit more cautious after Cnc3, red alert 3 and the super terrible cnc4 Slapping bioware on a studio doesn't make them THE bioware and it certainly doesn't make them Westwood but based off this video and the fact it runs on frostbite (looks amazing!!!) and there's no chance of it being a console port I'm rather hopefull

so they're using Frostbyte2 for a rts? I'd like to know what kind of rig is required to run this smooth

I liked the Generals series. This would be awesome with Bioware behind it.

*pours self a stiff drink* Well at least they aren't turning it into an FPS.. or ARE they?

C&C in the hands of Bioware? Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and get my hopes up. This could be the start of something beautiful.

Good to hear that C&C will; be back. Lets see what they can do. However, again not for the Xbox 360 that is not nice.

I'm guessing it's gonna be something like this: http://www.321pic.com/images/funny-military-13.jpg

this is a good news for me, love CnC General and Zero Hour. Looking forward to play this game :D

Westwood studios must be turning in it's grave right now.

@gplayer5 (But why the wait until 2013? ) Because the game then would be rushed unless you want Generals II to be another failure like Command & Conquer 4 was a epic failure? surely you dont want that to happen again right?

No.

omg command and conquer generals with the frostbyte 2 engine? Truly epic. Generals is probably the most played CNC game for me. But why the wait until 2013?

i need to change my pants......

Done before.. Renegade ring a bell ?

wow, never thought a c&c rts would sorta look like BF3. im gonna keep my eye on this one, enjoyed the last and its expansion zero hr.

C & C has been real hit and miss with the last few realeases if you ask me. Red Alert 2 was my favorite of all time. Red Alert 3 was terrible IMO. Tiberiem wars 3 was pretty good. bought on PC then 360 when it came out. I never played 4 but I hear long time fans hated it.

Now... A C&C game being made by a new bioware sub-company with Might and Magic's co-creator using DICE's frostbite engine? I.....didn't expect that.

Generals with Zero Hour is the C&C game I played the most, and I played all of them.

I don't know why they even bothered to show that teaser. But I do find it interesting that EA would make a PC exclusive, that's not like them at all. I figure they would find someway to stuff this on consoles.

Great !, Always loved C&C (Apart from 4....have to keep a backup of my save for that) and Generals is one of my most played apart from Red Alert. Bioware has a great rep and i think they stand a good chance at this, time will ultimately tell tho.....all i wanna see is another war tho >: D

Hey F'n Yeah (I loved Generals/Zero Hour), I hope with the integration of the Frostbite 2.0 engine we'll have truly destructible battlefields, (aka the crazy *#&$ that happened while playing Company of Heroes kind of destructible battlefields). Really looking forward to this, after being disappointed with C&C4, that's impressive lol. Keep it clean - Paladin Tank
