Today Electronic Arts (EA) has officially announced the development of Command & Conquer 4 for the PC platform with a shipping release date sometime in 2010.The Command & Conquer (C&C) franchise started back in 1995 designed for the PC which was then ported to numerous platforms including the Sega Saturn, Playstation, Nintendo 64 and multiple other systems.
The franchise as a whole is made up of multiple story lines across the different Command & Conquer games, the original started the Tiberium arc which has been continued across 3 games so far, and has been announced to be concluded in C&C4 next year.
The Command & Conquer 4 story will let you once again take control of either GDI or NOD factions, battling over the remains of earth after Tiberium has spread to a point where only 6 years remain before the planet is consumed by the alien substance.
Once again Kane returns from his rumoured death to continue the fight against the GDI, though it is currently not known or released if the third faction, the Scrin as seen in Tiberium Wars, will return as a playable side or just an enemy for you to fight through the campaign.
A new class based structure has been put in place which include offence and defence classes for your units, and an introduction of mobile bases for the Tiberium story arc which were used heavily in the previous C&C release, Red alert 3.
Players will now have a consistent profile that compiles progression throughout the game, whether you are in the single-player campaigns or battling on-line in the multi-player. Co-op will also return from C&C:RA3 letting players fight through the campaign with a friend, or be part of a team with the new 5vs5 objective multi-player mode.
I haven't followed EA for quite some time but they had a pretty heavy Nvidia partnership before didn't they?
always remember when i saw the EA logo and then the Nvidia "The way its meant to be played" Logo when a game started up i was in for something good lol
Add school girls, bears, cartoon graphics, anime heroes, make aircraft carrier and tanks same size, remove harvesters and make economy for 7 years old, make all generals woman (some were sluts) ... oh, wait, that was in RA3
Hmmm, add flying ships, enable all buildings and tanks be on water so there won't be any difference between land and water anymore... oh, wait, that was in RA3

Er two questions:
1). How was that a reply to the previous comment?
2). What relevance does RA3 have to C&C4? RA has always been the "crazy" series.
2. It's CnC series, GDI and NOD are related to Allies and Soviet,s check wiki for more info

While the RA and C&C universes are linked, RA3's craziness likely has no bearing on C&C4.

RA was never 'VERY' crazy, it happened in ra3 only and yuris (whicih of course was messed up by ea, cause original ra2 was already almost finished before ea bought westwood)
1. SecuRom works just fine it is not malware periond the end.
2. Your loose not mine
seems Jul 24th an interview with the storydeveloper and a trailer will be released on the site.
well atleast they seem to have listened to the majority of their fans
How exactly are they doing this?
The video on the CNC4 website reeks of some sportscast.
Ah, because it was! it's not from the game, the trailer hasn't been released yet! sheesh. C&C4 is looking freaking awesome! looks like the Mammoth Mark 2 is back is some shape or form along with the Orca Transport from Tiberian Sun, sounds good to me!
In the hands of any other developer I'd be drooling to get this game but EA insist on screwing this fanchise up more and more with each and every subsequent release. Seen all the above before, the only good news here is that it is the conclusion.

Oh, shut up. Forming conclusions before you have any evidence whatsoever is just sad.
Every time they release a new version I kind of expect something cool. The game hardly seems different from the first c&c + red alert!
I play it with my friends via multiplayer against the computer expecting it to get better with the newer version but the AI is always the same. Whoever gets to the ore first wins the game.
