Electronic Arts announced today that Command & Conquer will get episodic story missions starting in early 2014.

While I wasn't outright awed by Command & Conquer, it is clear that the franchise is heading back in the direction of its classic days.

Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight was not well received by critics and fans, something that new developer Victory Games is well aware of as it creates a new Command & Conquer.

The upcoming free-to-play Command & Conquer will be set the Generals universe, with the GLA, China and the United States as adversaries. But developer Victory Games envisions including other universes from the franchise sometime down the road.

The free-to-play Command & Conquer title will get an extended beta test in 2013, Victory has announced.

Paying $50 for a collection of 17 Command & Conquer games seems excessive, given that you'll most likely never play many of them, but that's what EA hopes you'll do. Ah, but there's a bonus--its 'Command & Conquer the Ultimate Collection' bundle includes early beta access to the curious new free-to-play Command & Conquer thing C&C: Generals 2 morphed into. If you find that at all tempting.

Command & Conquer: Generals 2 will pack eSports features, but won't have a single-player campaign at launch.

Though the announcement of Command & Conquer: Generals 2 was welcomed by many, EA really needed something a little more drastic to revive the flagging strategy series. Drastic it has indeed delivered, announcing at Gamescom that Generals 2 will be free-to-play as part of an online F2P service, with more free C&C games to come.
