New Command & Conquer FPS revealed?
Category: PC, Posted: 12/12/2007 at 12:00PM CST by Billy Wang, Previews Editor
Thanks to a perceptive C&C forum member, the upcoming January magazine issue of Game Informer reveals a new FPS set in the Command & Conquer universe. As of writing, details are scant since the issue just hit the stands, but here's what we know:
1. The C&C FPS is called "Tiberium" and is set 11 years after the events of Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars.
2. You play a GDI commander named Ricardo Vega.
3. "Just think of it as GRAW + Battlefield + R6: Vegas in the C&C universe."
4. Potential enemies include the Scrin and NOD.
5. Special powers include "Orbital Slug."
6. Squad-based combat.
7. You'll lead a squad called R.A.I.D. (Rapid Assault and Intercept Deployment).
Other than that folks, not much else is known. It's assumed EALA is handling the game's development since they've basically handled every other C&C title in the past. In addition, EALA is working on Kane's Wrath, the first expansion pack for C&C3, which is expected in spring 2008.

They have the backdrop, they just need a fun, new experience to put the player in.
That sounds Awesome!!!
Well finally its official
this does sound interesting. Like Requiem said, they have the background story and the universe to put us in, now just give us the action and good story development we so crave,
eh, there will never b a better RTS/FPS than Empires Mod
Well finally, a command and conquer game, that will open to a broader audience.
C&C Renegade was kinda fun but the cutscenes were so awful they were almost physically painful to sit through. I hope they do a little better this time.
Orbital slug? Get the salt cannon!
Oh god, another Renegade.
I must save myself the disappointment and skip this one.
