T.T oh my god. really cant wait.

Hey look at that screenshot, I bet i might be the end of game ( or near) already coz both GDI and NOD team up against Scrin.

lol EA is just like Microsoft. They would likely making more games of that. Who knows?

EA always like to takeover companies which make good games. Never like them czo they like to monopolize. Just like when Westwood release Dune 2 (the mother & pioneer of all RTS game), EA decided to buy it. Then when Bullfrog did well with theme park games, EA bought the company. Truth to be told I never like the EA sports annual release series. Not much of new updates and yet they release it annually just to sell, sell & sell.

Taken from wikipedia
EA is often criticized for buying smaller development studios primarily for their intellectual property assets, and then making the developers produce run-of-the-mill games on these same franchises. For example, Origin-produced Ultima VIII: Pagan and Ultima IX: Ascension were developed quickly under EA's ownership, and these two are considered by many as not up to the standard of the rest of the series, being aimed at lowest common denominator audience. Productions from EA owned studios as of late have generally not been known for their originality.

EA is also criticized for shutting down its acquired studios after a poorly performing game. Many see EA's control and direction as being primarily responsible for the game's failure rather than the studio. Magic Carpet 2 was rushed to completion over the objections of designer Peter Molyneux and it shipped during the holiday season with several major bugs. Studios such as Origin, Westwood Studios, and Bullfrog had previously produced games attracting a significant fanbase, and when they were closed down many top designers and programmers refused to stay with EA and formed rival studios. EA has also received harsh fire from labour groups for their dismissals of large groups of employees during the closure of a studio. Such was the case with the game GoldenEye: Rogue Agent.

EA is also notorious for the practice of rushing out products, setting extremely short deadlines and emphasizing good graphics to compensate for the lack of gameplay aspects originally intended by many developers, not implemented due to lack of time. Titles such as the Battlefield games are under this category as there are complaints of laggy online play.

After releasing many semi-finished products, the lack of support is notable in many games, assured by the fact that EA declared openly that they would no longer support relatively new but still buggy titles, like Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Need for Speed: Underground and some of the latest Command and Conquer games.

Electronic Arts announced it would not support the Sega Dreamcast unless it sold 1 million units. When this happened within a record 90 days, EA went back on their word and declined to support the Dreamcast in favour of Sony's PlayStation 2.

EA has also been criticized for other aggressive business methods like the acquisition of 19.9 percent of shares of their competitor Ubisoft in what was called a "hostile act" by Ubisoft CEO, Yves Guillemot.

And this is an uncyclopedia for EA:

And below are some of my opinion about what they gonna do if C&C 3 make a good sale:

(inspire by Lord of the Ring: Battle for Middle Earth 2's idea)

1) C&C 3: The raise of new messiah
2) C&C 3: The remain Tripod
3) C&C 3: NOD's Revenge
4) C&C 3: The last Ion Canon
5) C&C 3: Most Wanted
6) C&C 3: Carbon
6) C&C 3: Night Life
7) C&C 3: Open for Business
8) C&C 3: Family Fun Stuff
9) C&C 3: Pets
10) C&C 3: The Frozen Throne
11) C&C 3: The Burning Crusade (You are not prepare!)
12) C&C 3: Keranamu Malaysia
13).. ... ... ...
14) ... ... ... ...

Holyshit!

EA = Evil Assholes

Yet every goddamn Battlefield series and expansions you already bought them.

I wonder how long will it take till EA buys out CRYTEK(after the release of Crysis or before?) or will the owners have guts to stop them.

Anyway, why suddenly all the EA bashing? Did one of your EA game crash or stop working suddenly?

I'm sure most of you will end up playing C&C 3 in the end.

yurp, agreed....
but i still dun like ea anyways.........

Yeah, it's not a prob EA absorb all other game company, btu what pissed us off is: (not all but majority) Command and Conquer: Generals. EA buy other company and produce their game: In a shitty way. So this C&C 3 is a chance for EA to win back C&C's fans's heart.

Sorry accidentally double post.

ya damm EA ! only know how to bully smaller producer damm them

FIFA and FIFA manager crashed alot

Why?

We give them the benefit of doubt once more

Microsoft of gaming software?
No wonder they so buddy

More importantly
How many people from the original C&C team are working on this?

Practically none. The only original Westwood guy from way back still with EA is Louie Castle. The thing is he doesn't make games anymore, EA promoted him to a cushy position as the head of EALA(the studio in charge of C&C and MOH franchises).

Vorador is right, C&C 3 will make or break this classic franchise.
