I hope they will make it a little more challenging than all of the previous editions, man were those boring...

Starcraft still 0wns.

Starcraft still 0wns.

I second that but nothing is as nostalgic C&C IMHO.

I will never be able to run it on my machine though

[Morgeruat]

The first C&C had some levels that were near impossible (unless you used the wall loophole), and Red Alert was much the same. Later games have been rather disappointingly easy.

[Bozos of Bones]

The only C&C game that I've played that's worth something is Red Alert 2. And I've played all of them. Not terribly excited about this one either, it's gonna be Generals all over again.

[Kakero]

Any relations with the previous C&C?

It looks cool, One of the must have for me.

[True_Moose]

The caption of one of the pictures is GDI Gunship, so I would assume it's the same story. Looks pretty cool, although Red Alert 3 would have been cooler. You'd assume Tiberium would be back too.

Well, It's "Offically official"

The epic struggle between the Global Defense Initiative (GDI) and The Brotherhood of NOD continues...and the third Tiberium War is about to begin. Welcome back, Commander. Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: ERTS) today announced that Command & ConquerTM, the groundbreaking series that put the Real-time Strategy (RTS) genre on the map, is returning in full force with Command & ConquerTM 3 Tiberium Wars*. This highly-anticipated next chapter takes the popular series back to its roots in the Tiberium universe and features the fast, fluid gameplay that Command & Conquer is known for and a gripping story that will redefine storytelling in RTS games. It is 2047 and the stakes could not be higher. Tiberium—a self-replicating alien substance that has infected the Earth—is spreading like a radioactive ice age. The GDI, a high-tech alliance of the world's most advanced nations, is fighting to contain Tiberium, but Kane, the megalomaniacal leader of The Brotherhood of NOD has other plans for Earth. Kane's secret society turned superpower is bent on using Tiberium to take control and transform humanity into his twisted vision of the future. All-out war rages over Tiberium and the fate of the planet rests in the balance.
