Command & Conquer

please sign this Petition, we will not let this happens to our Generals 2, yes OUR Generals 2, because we(players) make this franchise famous and we want Generals 2 back and that our right !
i play single player only in all games, i wait Generals 2 with High expectations and EA smashed my hope
Now i will wait Company of heroes 2 and world in conflict 2

Wasn't it announced that a constant internet connection will be required? If I'm wrong I make prays you forgive...

There won't be any offline modes - even SP will require a constant internet connection

C&C is not DOTA nor RPG, so GTFO.

Starcraft 2 is eSport and Multiplayer and still has a working SP.

Company of Heroes 2 will be awesome and it still will have a great SP element.

There's no reason to change the whole industry RTS models just because of millions of stupid DOTA kids who play clones of a warcraft 3 mod.

You need to pay for maps only if you want have chance of be part of cash winning turnaments, you can get high on ladder possibly even with five maps, although probably harder as you get less optional players during search for optimal player with same available maps (against new factions can be played even when you don't own DLC but only as enemy player, which can also serve as propaganda for buying DLC with faction which you see playing against you in MP)...
Wanting to earn money in official turnaments in F2P game which was developed as Full AAA title for years with tens of millions expensive development for free is just unrealistic with EA, or any sensible distributor, don't you think?

If there will be high audience in watching turnaments online then maybe players on top ladder that get access on turnament can get required maps for free if they not own them already, but if they play these maps for first time it somewhat doesn't meet the purpose, same as playing turnaments only on maps available from start as it becomes boring after some time due limited number of factions.
If all maps will be for free for everyone then is chance for earning money covering development greatly limited and hard to obtain.
Getting all maps for free if you are within for example top 100 players is possible too and can be good motivation if someone think that players will want wait for their access long enough.

Don't think it will affect anything but I am a C&C Veteran since the very first day and what made this Franchise special was the powerful Single player Campaigns which brought the fun into the Game. With that part missing and that new F2P concept, as sad as it is, the game won't earn any money with me. Not saying I won't try it out when my PC is capable of playing it but for sure I won't upgrade my Hardware due to that Game as planned before the F2P and only Multiplayer announcement.
Cheers for probably ruining this awesome franchise! After the fail of C&C4 now hitting this Franchise again with such a massive new direction... sad sad

If they wanted people to pay a certain amount and then get a full game, they wouldn't go F2P.

With F2P you can ask people for a lot more.

Yeah that's kinda what we've been trying to convince them of for years now. As you can see, with very little succes (if at all).

Buying factions is possibly the worst idea anyone trying to make a game not P2W has ever had, ever.

So, let's get this straight, when you first got into End Of Nations's actual loaded map and started tinkering with units you didn't sense how everything felt flimsy and decrepit?

Because that's the first thing I realized, I remember thinking "oh wow, Tiberium Wars, Supreme Commander 2, DoW2 are so much better than this.."


You know, I just realized that most people when they talk about games they can't articulate what's exactly wrong with it but frequently it's the animations that are the crux of the problem...this is especially relevant to 3rd person and RTS games.

That's not what I'm saying, what I'm saying is that they need to make it look good on crappy computers, not that they need to make it look crappy.

OK, Free-to-play games appeal to people who have lower budgets. People with lower budgets usually have terrible computers. This and the thought that most likely we'll see G2/C&C on Mac computers means the developers, while they should cater to the people that want to push their computers to the extreme, should also cater to the people who will be playing on the lowest settings.

So I come back just to hear about this crap.

What happened to "Returning to our roots"?
As Feloidea said,they lied,plain and simple.

EA has taken yet ANOTHER franchise and ruined it.
I thought the little screw up with TT would be a wake up call for EA,nope,free to play!
No single player,always online,micro-transaction filled bullshit.

I have no hope for the game,an F2P RTS,what a fucking joke.
I remember the enthusiastic topics and discussions had in the community developer section for generals two,guess that's all a waste now.EA has shafted fans big on this one,going WAY over the line.

I don't see how some people are so calm about this,you have been lied to and cheated and you just shrug it off?
Well,I'm gone too I guess then,right as I was coming back too,full of enthusiasm for Generals 2.

And one more thing,**** you EA,stop ruining games.
Ban me,I don't care,I won't be back here anyways.

Shell out a lot of money for a nice box and some in-game goodies.

A normal game, not a chance.
