Command & Conquer 4 Coming in March
by Alice O'Connor, Nov 12, 2009 7:40am PSTEA Los Angeles has today announced that its story-concluding PC real-time strategy Commander & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight will be released for PC on March 16, 2010.
The pre-order bonuses of early beta access, a copy of the orchestral soundtrack, and an exclusive bonus prequel campaign mission were also unveiled. GameStop pre-orders will not include beta access but to make up for the loss, online pre-orders from the retailer pack an autographed photo of Kane himself, the actor Joe Kucan.
Rumours suggest that much of the EA Los Angeles team will be laid off after launch as part of the EA cost-reduction plan which includes letting 1,500 employees go.

It's unbelievable how they've remade the same exact bad game since Tiberium Sun and gets away with it. You can't tell me that people working on this hasn't got any ideas.

I wish EA would just let this franchise fade away. I loved C+C 1 and RA 1 and even Tiberian Sun and RA 2 had their good points but the franchise is just fucking stale now.
EA and their "moar lasers and moar mechs and MOAR SILLY UNITS = awesome game" formula really doesn't work.
I mean, RA series was a tad whacky as it was....but it was still an awesome Cold War era alternate reality setting with fantastic special weapons that didn't seem overboard. C + C 1 was always a tad more serious, set in the modern day (albeit with tiberium) with modern weaponry (for the most part, but again, wasn't too over the top) and was fucking awesome.
I miss just cruising about maps with grenadiers, rocket launchers, heavy tanks, hum-vees, artillery, demo trucks, V-2's and minelayers....and defending my base with watchtowers, gun turrets and FUCKING WALLS AND SANDBAGS.
Game is just fucking silly now.

So a game is suddenly ramped up to March (I've only seen a brief announcement previously) and then all the devs will be canned soon after?
Smells like "stop what you're doing, wrap it up, slap its arse, and shut shop"
Sounds like a cut and run to me!
