During the weekend at the Spike Video Game Awards, EA confirmed that BioWare is working on Command and Conquer Generals 2, which will be released in 2013 exclusively for the PC. Powered by the frostbite 2 engine, Generals 2 once again puts players in the middle of an all-out war between three unique factions - GLA and EU are confirmed, but the third faction will be revealed later. It will be developed by the newly opened BioWare Victory studio, which has veterans from past C&C games on the team.

Johan Andersson of developer DICE is on route to Montreal, Canada to visit a studio using the Frostbite engine which powers Battlefield 3. It was also used in Need for Speed: The Run. The upcoming Command & Conquer: Generals 2 is also using Frostbite. EA's Montreal digs include BioWare and EA Montreal itself. What projects could use the engine tech?

Could it be true that EA are copying tank models from Warhammer 40k for use in its browser-based real-time strategy game Command & Conquer Tiberium Alliances?

Electronic Arts has responded to accusations that the publisher was stealing designs of Command & Conquer: Tiberium Alliances' tanks from the Warhammer 40,000 universe. The issue, Electronic Arts has pointed out, was that the images were concept art that were never intended to be seen.

Robot Entertainment is made up of former Ensemble veterans with Age of Empires to their name. Patrick Hudson of the studio still believes real-time strategy can be big business. He admits though it's "changing a lot," and he's not sure where "it's going to go." The days of selling millions of copies at "50 or 60 bucks as a PC game" are gone; PC retail not there.

Battlefield developer DICE has its own fancy engine technology that goes by the name Frostbite 2, and now the studio teases that some 2013 titles using it will need a 64-bit OS. It's a "great opportunity to upgrade" to Windows 8, says DICE rendering architect Johan Andersson. The majority of PC users don't use 64-bit, but do PC gamers? Let's hope so.

As they harvest resources and build armies, players must form strategic alliances with their neighbors for offensive and defensive purposes.

The classic C&C Renegade from EA has been converted by a mod team so that it features vehicles, structures and locations from Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars.

Electronic Arts has announced their their upcoming real-time-strategy title, Command & Conquer: Generals 2, which is being developed by BioWare, will be going free-to-play and client-based. The Frostbite 2 enhanced game will be launching on 2013.

Following the news that shocked gamers that Command & Conquer: Generals 2 would be free-to-play, Electronic Arts has announced another bombshell: the real-time strategy game will be multiplayer-only at launch, with no overarching storyline.

Electronic Arts has announced that Command & Conquer: Generals 2 will be folded into a larger Command & Conquer free-to-play web portal. The online service will launch in 2013, with the Generals "experience" being the first of "many" free-to-play games on the portal.

Electronic Arts is celebrating the past 17 years of Command & Conquer while simultaneously prepping gamers for Command & Conquer: Generals 2 by releasing the Command & Conquer Ultimate Collection, which will include all 17 C&C games for £24.99.

After it was announced that the free-to-play real-time-strategy game Command & Conquer: Generals 2 would not launch with a single-player campaign, the fan outcry was loud. Apparently, it was loud enough to get Electronic Arts to add a single player campaign at some point.

The new Command & Conquer from BioWare Victory, which was to be C&C: Generals 2, has become a free-to-play affair from EA. It will launch without a singleplayer campaign, but 'will get one'. Community manager EA_CIRE acknowledges that many will say "that this is not a 'true' C&C," but says that applied to the original Generals. For him, C&C "isn't just about Tiberium, Kane" and Yuri.

Developer Victory Games is behind the upcoming new Command & Conquer; the new free-to-play Command & Conquer. Groans, sighs and bloodcurdling shrieks aside - it's actually 'a good thing', says Victory. Quality is compromised when you "have to hit a date," says Tim Morten, whereas F2P lets them keep working at it making it "better and better over the years." The new C&C is powered by Frostbite 2.

In our chat with Victory Games' Tim Morten, we asked why they decided to pursue the Generals fiction in the Command & Conquer universe. They choose it because the fans wanted it, he reveals. It also proved the "most successful" commercially, beating Tiberian and Red Alert. It "felt like the right choice" with both of those factors rooting for it, but what about going free-to-play?

While Electronic Arts acquired some major licenses in the past few months, two of which are the lucractive Star Wars and mixed-martial arts UFC licenses, players shouldn't hold their breath waiting for a game based on them or Tiger Woods.
