Now, in addition to the excitement and support of this remaster initiative over the past month, there has also been a healthy skepticism that we can pull this off. But what about the classic expansion packs you may ask - Covert Ops, Counterstrike, and Aftermath? Well, C&C and Red Alert wouldn’t be the same without them, so all three expansion packs will be bundled with the base games into one remastered collection - without microtransactions. So, we will also remaster the original Command & Conquer: Red Alert™. And while this is incredibly exciting on its own, we’re also aware of how passionate the community is about the Red Alert universe. We have decided to remaster Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn.

Today, I’m thrilled to tell you we are going back to the beginning. In a post on the Command and Conquer subreddit, EA producer Jim Vessella announced that the company is working on a remastered version of the first games, suitable for modern hardware. I did not think we would ever write this post.Ĭ&C is coming back. Our forums continue to sustain an active conversation around modding, mapping, and playing all sorts of C&C games, but it is fair to say the C&C community is much, much smaller than it used to be. We kept ours open but, by necessity, became tremendously less active. Most of the many C&C fan sites closed their doors, including long time stalwarts like CNC Den and PlanetCNC. It seemed fair to say that C&C was left for dead. Since then, EA announced and then canceled C&C Generals 2, firing a large portion of the team in the process. The previous major game before that, Red Alert 3, came out more than a decade ago, in the fall of 2008. These unique and different starting positions will decide much of the strategy for each player.The last Command and Conquer game, CNC 4, came out in 2010. Yet, the latter has a lighthouse it can fortify. But beware! The northern team has a secret passage in the north to defend, while the team in the south is isolated from the rest. The other team has access to - very limited - water for a naval base and can defend their base way more easily because of the bridges. They start with more gems close to their base, because they are much farther from the oil derricks and the big ore spot. The team in the west has more space to expand and more room to build their base, but they are way more open to attacks because of this openness. Each starting player spawns in a different corner of the map, but they have to choose wisely. Middle of the map is where most of the ore is. It can be captured - but also very easily destroyed.There are also a decent amount of oil derricks on the east side of the map. The map's core revolves around an abandoned (neutral) nuclear power plant. This small, intense 2 vs 2 map was created with unique strategies, unique strengths and weaknesses in mind for each player/team.
