For a game in a series with such a long history, and such a passionate fanbase, Command & Conquer 4 has been humming along under most people’s radars. Something that should change pretty soon once the beta kicks off.
C&C4′s community manager has posted on his Twitter account “C&C 4 beta will be going PUBLIC very soon, every RTS fan in the world can give CNC 4 MP a test-drive”.
With the game due out in March, “very soon” really does mean “very soon”. Good to hear it’s a public beta, too, so everyone (not just those pre-ordering the game) can get in on the action.

Wednesday, January 27, 2010 at 10:44 PMuhhh, what happened to my ‘garunteed spot in a future CNC game’s beta test’ that came with my RA3 collectors edition? It’s not much of a collectors edition bonus if it’s a public beta -_-. Fuck you EA

Thursday, January 28, 2010 at 2:51 PMI’m interested in it, but not as much as I’d normally be. I used to be a big C&C fan, as well as RA, but since EA basically killed C&C3 and RA3 (Beta’d both and bought C&C3), I can only hope it is worth buying and will hold me until SC2. I also hope I can actually play online as with C&C3 I couldn’t even connect to other players 95% of the time (literally), but plenty of other P2P games I can play fine.
