C&C Live

Victory Games had attempted to revive the concept of a developer-hosted show dedicated to the new Command & Conquer/Generals 2. Unfortunately, the project only managed to produce a single episode, as Victory Games closed down a few days later.

Every week, presenters Jason Savopolos and Matt Marcou answer your questions, show gameplay footage and even interview developers. Don’t forget to join in via the chat or on Twitter for your chance to win some fantastic C&C prizes, including beta keys!

The show takes place every Wednesday at 12 noon (Pacific Time); don’t miss it, Generals!

Episode 01:

Aired on: 23 October 2013

This first C&C Live episode showcases the new Command & Conquer through its alpha, featuring three highly asymmetrical factions:

• APA, focused on numbers and pressure;
• EU, relying on heavy, durable and powerful units;
• GLA, focusing on mobility, stealth and surprise attacks.

Above all, the programme demonstrates how the Generals have deeply specialised each faction by modifying the available units, abilities and technologies. The matches featured also highlight the classic ‘Generals’ DNA: resource gathering, expansion, map control, army composition, micromanagement and exploiting the opponent’s strengths and weaknesses. Finally, the developers emphasise the evolving nature of the alpha and the importance of community feedback in guiding the game’s development.
