GameSpot's New Command & Conquer 4 Preview

[Sonic 298]

Another Command & Conquer 4 preview for you, this time from GameSpot. It basically covers the same stuff as IGN's preview. Here's a sample from GameSpot's preview.

 

After capturing all three Forgotten bases, a working mastodon, and a handful of mammoth tanks, we figured we were in the clear and ready to start repairs on the dropship. Unfortunately, our activity had given away our position to Nod, which, as it turns out, had key locations of its own on the map. We scrambled back to the carrier to peel off the Nod forces that were hammering the ship, including light attack bikes, raiders, and the infamous scorpion tank. Nod still seems to be a tricky faction on the battlefield, and its scorpion tanks are not only as agile as ever, but they can also burrow underground and reappear elsewhere. However, thanks to our heavy artillery and our continuous supply of Forgotten troops, we were able to pound them into the ground as well, leaving the dropship to finally repair itself and take off. With the mission completed, we were free to head back to the command center interface to spend our experience points buying new upgrades and move on to the next mission.

 

C&C4 already seems like it will have lots to offer--plenty of new and returning units for both the GDI and Nod factions, different character classes to explore, and a persistent unlock system that constantly challenges you to earn enough new experience points and levels to get access to new units and new upgrades. Having had a chance to play the game, we're already intrigued and looking forward to seeing more of the game. The game is scheduled to ship in 2010.
