I dont know if you guys have been following Command and Conquer 4 but I wanted to hear your thoughts. One of the new features is you start the game with a basic set of units, abilities, powers, upgrades etc..
As you win games you get experience points and gain new units, abilities, etc..
So you can be playing someone on multiplayer who has access to more units types then you.

The standard gameplay is around multiplayer 5v5. You pick from one of three classes (offense, support, defense). Every class has a crawler which is basically a mobile base/super unit. Only the defense class can build buildings and even that is limited to defense buildings and superweapon buildings. Oh and the superweapons ar no longer binary. They charge up. If you use the superweapon before its fully charged you get a less powerful spell.

This installment reminds me more of World in Conflict than of Command and Conquer.

Looks weird. Do not want.

More and more RTS games are going for a mixture of strategy/role-playing (as in gaining levels and/or experience) and it seems that quality is going lower and lower, especially Command and Conquer, IMO. It just doesn't look fun.

I do think that Dawn of War 2 did it really well, but it fits the universe, not C & C

And multiplayer is too much like battlefield or call of duty, not an RTS

Edit: I want to make an exception for world in conflict. That game is awesome

I haven't followed it much, though I know what this game involves. A movil base is quite strong but it won't take much out of the tech 3 units. Early game will go mad and eventually keeping up your base will involve A LOT of macro. That's basically the main problems besides balance.

But it still got an original name "tiberian twilight"

The only reason I've been buying the C&C games since after Red Alert 2, was due to awesome unit designs, ingame voice acting, and soundtrack.

For the first time since Tiberian Sun, I'm actually curious to see this so called "final" story.

Is that a miniature science vessel in that picture?

[ArcherofAiur]

Now that you guys mention it that thing does look like a science vessel )I always picture them more as balls then disks) but I really think it looks an awefully lot like the protoss mothership.

The game does looks nice but I really don't like what they are doing with the multiplayer. Too much balance issues because of this:

Command and Conquer get their BETA tommorow. HAHAHA AND HERE WE ARE AHAHAHAH STILL WAITING AHAHAHA FOR THREE WHOle long freaking years.......

*breaks down crying*

So, all the above is the process by which YOU can get in to the C&C 4 Beta. I expect anyone on these forums who wants to be in the C&C 4 Beta now, should be by the end of this week via any of the above processes. We will do our best to accommodate in a timely manner. See you in there.
