So I start Origin and see this... "Early access to C&C Generals 2"

I have to admit, the level design is simply amazing. It's come a long way since the UT3 version, which looked far more like the actual Unreal Tournament 3 and the Gears of War games. This looks more like Halo: Reach and Halo 4. A real shame the video only comes in 360p, though.

Renegade X has just released . In this video, Renegade X founder Fobby and lead artist Havoc89, discuss the new gameplay plans for Renegade X and its upcoming standalone multiplayer release while showing us the first-ever footage of alpha testing. The release of this podcast also marks the 3-year anniversary of Renegade X's original release, the original UT3 mod having been released in late September 2009. You can also read the entire news that comes with the video podcast right here.

I am saddened by this. =( I know I'll certainly miss them.

That is not what I've been hearing. But I'm glad it wasn't quite the case and that I was wrong, then.

Released? More like, the team abandoned everything and just released their latest, unstable build. No one tests the stable builds and they just keep asking for more features and taking the latest build and using it all the time. The team receives very little feedback. To me, the idea that they've decided to just give up and release their latest buggy version is not good news at all.

Join us, we need more staff

In an interview posted at The Verge, EA's Frank Gibeau has revealed that the new Command & Conquer will indeed have a Single Player campaign, whereas before, the answer had been an ominous "maybe". According to Gibeau, this is all due to feedback given by the community. Here's a snippet of the interview: You can read the entire interview right here.

CNCSaga, the French C&C fansite, has released a Director's Cut of the Generals 2 trailer seen at the 2011 VGAs. The video has some additional and altered scenes, in which you can see building garrisons, infantry and base construction in action and also hear some of the game's voice acting. The soundtrack is also longer and clearer, sounding much like the main theme from the 1st Generals. Could it be a possible hint what the Generals 2 soundtrack may sound like?

I hope they didn't just scrap the entire Generals 2 campaign idea, with BioWare-quality story in mind and are now just going to give us a hastily-assembled campaign, instead. They had 3 years to do this right, and considering it's now a F2P game, they can take their time to release the campaign. They have no excuse to half-ass it, and they better not.

According to a Russian interview with EA's Sean Decker, vice-president of Play4Free, the following information has been revealed about the new Command & Conquer "Free To Play" service: The game does not require Play4Free funds, but might and paid content might be offered, though it all depends on what the consumers demand. The game will only ship with 2 factions at launch: GLA and EU. C&C Free To Play is a service, which will ship with 1 game, or rather, universe: Generals 2. Other universes will follow eventually. As a service, it won't be focused on a single universe, timeline or story, but will, eventually, include all of these. You can watch the interview here: The video is in English, but dubbed over in Russian, so it's hard to understand clearly what both the interviewer and Decker are saying.

Oh, yeah, actually, I just managed to find the page, it's the same as the US one, basically. It says "Price is in US dollars, and is applicable to U.S. and Canadian residents only". I think that's a good indication. x)

Can't tell if it's available in Canada (the artwork and soundtrack) or not...Anyone can help?

If you need help with modding, ppmsite.com is a good place, in case you have trouble finding answers.

It's an excuse to show their awesome tread animations, physics and texture.

There, fixed it up a bit. The new C&C is a service, whereas "Generals 2" is a universe that will be offered within the actual service, which is the actual game. The previous information was incorrect; The name of the game hasn't actually changed, nor has Generals 2 been really cancelled.

A news update for the Tiberium Secrets mod, covering the month of June, has just been posted. In this update, the team reveals 4 new ASI units: the Harvester, the Hunter, the Crow and the Mini-Drone, which is a unit that is released from a larger, secret high-tier unit. There are also 2 new concept pieces for this faction: one for the Assimilation Chamber and the other for the ASI Commando, dubbed the "Suit Man" as of now. Below are some samples.

What kind of actors (be it for live action or voice acting, as it has not been decided which way would be done) would you like to see, and what roles do you potentially see them do, and why? Keep in mind this is for a Generals game, which we have not yet seen much live-action for. I'd personally think more realistic performances are a must. No cheesy Red Alert or Tiberium characters. Here are my suggestions. Those in green would be for voice acting only, those in orange would be for both voice and live action and those in red would be for live acting only. Robert Clotworthy (Great, unique voice, very capable of getting into character, very professional, Raynor's voice in StarCraft. Good for playing honest, down-to-earth characters.) - US Official Glenn Morshower (Played military characters in Battlefield 3, Transformers 3 and X-Men: FC. Perfectly fitting.) - US General Lance Henriksen (Has an amazing commanding stature and voice) - US General Glenn Close (Great actress who knows how to play serious roles) - US General/Chief of Staff of the Army Jennifer Hale (Great voice actress. She's the voice of female Shepard in the Mass Effect trilogy.) - US General? Jason Statham (Need I say more?) - EU General or EU Special Forces (Perhaps the EU hero character) Daniel Craig (James Bond. Fitting for the type) - EU General Alan Tudyk (Amazing performance in many movies and TV series. Loved his German accent in TF3. Could play a German General.) - EU General Rose Byrne Great actress. Gets into character very well. Very good with body and facial expression and with making viewers establish emotional connection to her characters, even when they are serious or military roles. Does a great British accent. Could play a British character.) - EU General or EU Lieutenant (Advisor to the player, or perhaps the EU "hero") Jeremy Irons (Terrific british actor. Very good at getting into character, too) - British Official? John Noble (Great actor that can play some very serious and even dark roles pretty well) - Perhaps some kind of Chief of Staff or a Secretary of Defense. Avery Brooks (Very intelligent, very professional actor and greatly capable of getting into character. I've yet to see a cheesy performance for him, meaning I expect he'll play well once again if chosen.) - GLA Warlord Kenneth Tsang (The NK General from Die Another Day, quite fitting) - Chinese General Other actors who could fit but aren't at the top of my suggestions list: Nestor Carbonell - Spanish character Michael Emerson - British character Morgan Freeman - Some higher-up character, could also play a General. There's no need to hide the fact everyone likes his narrator voice. I agree, he does a good narrator. Yvonne Strahovski - British character Carl Lumbly (He was just far too amazing as Marcion in Kane's Wrath)
