@Existor has created a great looking wallpaper based around the APA's logo from the new Command & Conquer. It mixes the old with the new, since its a recreation of the Chinese loading screen from the original C&C Generals. The wallpaper is available in 1920x1200 (16:10) and 1920x1080 (16:9) resolutions. Click here for the download. @Existor will be making wallpapers for the EU and GLA as well.

This is just a quick poll to determine how we, as staff, should refer to the new Command & Conquer. For awhile now we have be using the names Command & Conquer - Free to Play and C&C - Free to Play in our news posts. I've seen some people who dislike this style of naming. So vote in the poll and tell us what you would like to see. We will then take action if we agree. Officially the new game is really just "Command & Conquer", the live service. But since CNCNZ.com is a multi-C&C site we need something here to differentiate between this new C&C and the original C&C.

The first instalment of our CommandCOM 2013 coverage has arrived in the form of a video interview with the C&C Community Manager, Eric "EA_CIRE" Krause. In this interview @Koen asks about the beta, when fans can expect to get in, some of the current game play features, plus you get a look at the CommandCOM testing room. Check back soon for more coverage from CommandCOM 2013.

Zéphyr from CnCSaga.com has made a short interview with Jon Van Caneghem two days ago on the new Command & Conquer. Other than restating the campaigns which were announced a few days ago, Van Caneghem explained how the exclusion of oil as a secondary resource was due to the alpha testers' feedback and when can beta applicants expect their keys. Stay tuned for more information from gamescom.

The first demo room video of the upcoming Command & Conquer has been uploaded on EA's official YouTube page. For the first time, we can see long gameplay footage, as well as a peek at the game's interface and menus. Stay tuned for more gamescom info.

During EA's press conference, Victory Games had its say on Command & Conquer. This new trailer was released, in which we can see that the singleplayer campaigns will be released in 2014. The missions can be played either alone or cooperatively. The release date of the game itself is still uncertain, but it is obvious that multiplayer and singleplayer will launch apart from each other.

The CnCSaga.com team is currently at GamesCOM and has taken a picture of the part of C&C's booth where the previously announced tank is. Between PCGames.de's behind-the-scenes special and now, the tank has been repainted to the APA scheme, nullifying all speculations about the USA being the fourth faction... at least for now. Stay tuned for more GamesCOM and CommandCOM coverage as new information arrives.

If you have been reading our posts on Facebook and Twitter you will be aware that three of the CNCNZ.com team are on the ground at CommandCOM in Cologne, Germany. We currently have a whole archive of various photos and assets to share with you all, as well as game information and hopefully some video in the coming days. However, it takes time to sort through it all and edit video content. For now, though, here's a photo of @Koen standing next to the big tank that can be seen at the Command & Conquer booth at gamescom. We have more to post in the coming days so keep checking back. And don't forget to check our Facebook and Twitter pages.

We've posted twice in the past two days about the APA tank that can be seen at the Command & Conquer booth at gamescom. The team has uploaded a video displaying how the turret was made and how the tank was transported over the night through German highways and finally to the gamescom booth. Stay tuned for more info from gamescom.

Watch Command & Conquer take to the big stage at EA's Gamescom 2013 Press Conference. Plus you can watch the epic showdown between the two Command & Conquer community managers, who will be crowned the "King of Köln". This new video also includes the trailer for the recently revealed campaign missions.

Prior to EA's press conference tomorrow, Victory Games posted a new close up screenshot, showing some GLA tanks at sunset with a soldier, possibly one of the Generals, riding on top. As a reminder, the press conference will start tomorrow at 3 PM GMT with a live stream here and here, along with a 1v1 battle between Eric Krause and David Erhard.

PCGames.de has uploaded a video which takes us behind the scenes of EA's gamescom booths while they're still being set up. Their focus are the stands with large props, like a Titanfall mech and a tank at the C&C booth, which, curiously, has US Army insignia. This has led to speculation that the USA will indeed be the fourth faction in the upcoming Command & Conquer game. You can watch the video above or right here. Be sure to . Note that the video is in German.

An announcement has been made on the official C&C Facebook page regarding EA's press conference prior to gamescom. During that time, on August 20th at 3 PM GMT, two C&C devs will battle it out on the latest alpha build of the upcoming Command & Conquer game to determine who will be the King of Köln: CIRE or Erhard. The conference and the match will be broadcasted here. EA will also plug all gamescom events on its Twitch.tv profile.

As it was announced, EA would be present at this year's GamesCOM event, which will take place from August 21st to August 25th. EA staff has released information about the event over at EA's GamesCOM website, answering a few important and frequently asked question, notably about tickets and location. EA's booth, which will be located in Hall 6, will include a Command & Conquer section, where fans attending will likely be able to see a gameplay demo and/or play the game, alongside some other surprises, as is seemingly hinted at by the presence of a massive tank at the C&C kiosk's entrance. To see an interactive map of the EA booth, click here. Additionally, each EA game will have PCs designed to specifically run the respective game. Attendees will also be able to participate in a contest and win one of the customized C&C PCs that will be running the game over at EA's booth during the event. You can see a run-down of the Command & Conquer PC's system specifications below: Command & Conquer - PC Hardware Motherboard: MSI 970FX Processor: AMD FX8350 Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD7970 Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8 Go (2x 4 Go) 240-Pin DDR3 1866 Hard Drive: 120 Go SSD Corsair Neutron GTX Power Supply: Corsair GS800 Cooling System: Corsair Hydro Series h100i Case: Corsair 300R Black Peripherals: Mouse: Razer Taipan Mousepad: Razer Goliathus Keyboard: Razer Deathstalker Headset: Razer Pro Kraken The source for this information can be seen by clicking here, although the page is only available in German.

Victory Games has released seven more wallpapers sporting the new Generals from the upcoming Command & Conquer game, this time featuring the EU Generals. Again, we see some new faces, like Cleaver and Cutting Edge, while Lupa and Bulldog are the names of previously revealed ones. CLEAVER: 4:3 | 16:9 | 16:10 CUTTING EDGE: 4:3 | 16:9 | 16:10 DAEDALUS: 4:3 | 16:9 | 16:10 GHOST: 4:3 | 16:9 | 16:10 LUPA: 4:3 | 16:9 | 16:10 MERCURY RED: 4:3 | 16:9 | 16:10 BULLDOG: 4:3 | 16:9 | 16:10 These can all be accessed through the Wallpapers section on the official Command & Conquer website. As the APA Generals have been revealed on Monday and two days have passed since, it seems logical to expect that the next faction, in alphabetical order, the GLA, will have its generals revealed and wallpapers released on Friday.

Victory Games has released six more wallpapers sporting the new Generals from the upcoming Command & Conquer game, this time featuring the GLA Generals, finishing the circle, so to speak. No new faces this time, just new names: Tactician, Wild Dog, Kitbash and Nitro. TACTICIAN: 4:3 | 16:9 | 16:10 WILD DOG: 4:3 | 16:9 | 16:10 KITBASH: 4:3 | 16:9 | 16:10 NITRO: 4:3 | 16:9 | 16:10 DR. THRAX: 4:3 | 16:9 | 16:10 JUNKYARD: 4:3 | 16:9 | 16:10 These can all be accessed through the Wallpapers section on the official Command & Conquer website.

Victory Games have released six APA wallpapers from the new Command & Conquer. This way, we also got the names of three more Generals: 1000 Suns, Inferno and Taskmaster. They are available in different aspect ratios: 1000 SUNS: 4:3 | 16:9 | 16:10 BLACKJACK: 4:3 | 16:9 | 16:10 INFERNO: 4:3 | 16:9 | 16:10 BEAST: 4:3 | 16:9 | 16:10 RED ARROW: 4:3 | 16:9 | 16:10 TASKMASTER: 4:3 | 16:9 | 16:10 Hence, the new Wallpapers section on the official site has been opened for public view. Logically, we can expect these for the EU and GLA Generals as well.

Tara Babcock from ZoomInGames has interviewed Tim Morten at E3 and asked him about the recent topics from C&C ad blurbs, such as non-Middle Eastern generals, shoes for the Workers and the semantics of free-to-play gameplay and development. Once more, he answers the question of what will be and will not be free in the game and repeats the fact that one can earn everything by either playing or paying. We have more video content from the new Command & Conquer on .

As we mentioned last week, the new Command & Conquer will be on show at gamescom 2013. And now, here's other important news: CommandCOM 2013 will also take place alongside gamescom in Cologne, Germany - it's another important Command & Conquer summit coming up. CommandCOM 2013 was announced on the Official C&C Twitter page this past weekend. We are sending three people from the CNCNZ.com team to CommandCOM 2013 to get the important details about the new Command & Conquer. CommandCOM was last held back in August 2009 for the much loved Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight. CNCNZ.com was there, and you can relive the 2009 event by reading this lengthy report.

The sequel to the first Beyond the Battle Developer Diary has been uploaded on the official C&C YouTube channel. This one guides us through the development cycle of an old favourite from the first Generals game - the GLA Bomb Truck, from concept to balancing. You can see it in different forms, angles and concept art in 1080p HD. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xenASaskdTI Stay tuned for more.

Privatejfx141 from the Command & Conquer Wiki has created another comparison image. This time comparing the units of the European Union (EU) in the new Command & Conquer, with the original USA units from the original C&C Generals. Don't forget to check out the APA and China Unit Comparison image we posted a few days ago.

Being a bit late to the party, Gamereactor has just a few days ago uploaded an interview with Bryan Farina taken at E3. The topics are: generals, campaigns, other universes and possible mobile releases. Nothing much new here. We've got confirmation that the campaigns are WIP, but will not be in the game at launch and that tablet versions are an option, but do not necessarily need to be covered.

More high praise for the new Command & Conquer coming out of E3. Gaming Trend have named it their Best Strategy Game of E3 2013, beating these other nominated games like Pikmin 3, Total War: Rome 2 and Company of Heroes 2, in the real-time strategy category. Click here to check out the rest of Gaming Trend's Best of E3 for 2013.
