![]() ![]() ![]() What was the reasoning behind making the switch? GameSpot: The jump from packaged goods to downloadable free-to-play game seems like a pretty fundamental change. EA is prepping to begin closed beta testing on the game, and has asked would-be testers to sign up on the game's official website.ĮA VP and GM Jon Van Caneghem recently took some time to answer GameSpot's questions about the project, including the rationale for the free-to-play switch, what this means for the future of the series as boxed products, and why it will require players to use EA's Origin service. EA is promising "an authentic and modern RTS" designed for veterans of the series as well as newcomers. Set for release next year, Command & Conquer will be built on the Frostbite 2 engine (the tech behind games like Battlefield 3 and Need for Speed: The Run) and require players to install a client program on their PCs. Command & Conquer: Generals 2 is now an F2P platform. The publisher today announced at Gamescom that the real-time strategy project has been converted to a free-to-play business model and that it has been redesigned as a platform that will span the Command & Conquer series history, with Generals merely being the first of the franchise's various worlds offered to fans. Much has changed since the last time Electronic Arts talked about BioWare Victory's Command & Conquer: Generals 2. ![]()
