Command and Conquer Generals 2 Thread

Unexpected, but not surprising really as the FT2 play model works. I play Tiberium Alliances and the amount of members (at least 20) that pay in excess of £10 a month, every month, just so they can launch more assauts and faster repair time for their vehicles is gobsmacking. Especially for a browser game.

Sounds like pay to win to me. Hope the new game will be different but I would bet money on it being a complete farce a la C&C4 :(

RIP C&C franchise. I hope someday you can rise again once EA liquidates due its own stupidity.
 
I will remain quite optomistic for this.As long as they have a basic competive ladder with no DL content available then i will be happy.They can have a second ladder for Sub factions new units ,Co op AOD game modes and the such.
They have hired a few guys from Riot i believe so i would imagine you will be able to buy skins and the like

That's all well and good if you're rich and can afford to throw money at a game just to win. Meanwhile, in the real world, people like me who prefer not to take a good ramming from EA end up losing because I won't hand over my hard earned.
 
Got to admit, last year i thought this would be a total flop but that video has given me a bit more confidence. That said, free to play with a "pay to win" model is one of my most hated ways of developing a game :/
 
I thought the free to play C&C was going to be seperate from Generals 2 which was still going to be released as a regular model game or am i talking nonsense?

Most free to play games don't have as much of a development cycle as this appears to however, in that case I don't mind as much as it's the equivalent of just buying the game outright.

I'm assuming they will probably do season pass type things for each faction which will allow you to unlock everything for that faction.

The new F2P C&C will be C&C Generals 2.

It was going to be a full price game. Then they changed it to F2P.

I think that could have had some bearing on why End of Nations got wiped.
 
Oh FFS. Just let me buy a game for one price and inculde everything in it. Non of this free to play,DLC, pay to win nonsense.

Also, not interested if no campaign from the start.

Yep C&C Generals Zero Hour multiplayer, nothing comes close. Used to do that over LAN during boarding school back in like '04.
We'd get so mad at each other and make rules that so and so was OP and you couldn't use that unit haha. I think it was the Air Force General Aurora Bombers
 
Did they ever fix generals so that it worked with windows 7? Last time i tried to get hold of it, it didn't work with windows 7.
