That press release EA linked to (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/07/08/ea-accidentally-announces-command-and-conquer-4/) yesterday? It's up now (http://investor.ea.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=395215), which makes Command & Conquer 4 (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/command-and-conquer-4) that little bit more real. Not only that, but everything mentioned in that online survey (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/06/22/rumor-command-and-conquer-4-could-feature-persistent-rpg-mechanic/) was also real. This will be the final chapter of the Tiberium series and will feature "persistent player progression and [an] all-in-one mobile base," when it launches in 2010 for PC.
Command & Conquer 4 will also feature a co-op mode for the two campaigns, as well as a 5-vs-5 objective based multiplayer mode, allowing for a new "social real time strategy experience." Aren't those called LAN parties? A new episode of Battlecast PrimeTime, which will be available on July 24, will give more information on the game, and the exclusive reveal of the first cinematic trailer will be shown on GameTrailers TV on July 23.
I dunno. Played the shit out of the first few, but then after EA got ahold of them and complicated things way too much, it just isn't fun and hard to get into. I'll probably either download this or wait until it's on a new Decades type deal.
