Command & Conquer FPS Tiberium delayed to fiscal 2010

by Ludwig Kietzmann { Jul 29th 2008 at 6:37PM }

During its quarterly earnings conference call, EA announced that its first-person romp through the popular Command & Conquer universe would not be released until the company's fiscal year 2010. Converting that information into a format your calendar will better understand: Don't expect Tiberium to arrive before April 2009. We expect this delay from the game's previous Fall 2008 release date will better allow the designers to craft exciting weapons, insert formidable enemies and carefully remove any elements which could remind us of the last time someone tried to make a C&C FPS.

I liked Renegade... ;(

Me too. It was amazing over LAN, we used to play it on a night at my Secondary School, good times. There's nothing better than nicking somebody elses mammoth tank and sitting out in the middle of a tiberium field destroying NOD's harvester over and over.

WHAT? THIS IS NOT MY EA! They need to release it broken NOW

Chase @ Jul 29th 2008 8:08PM

Well, so long as they improve things, I can't help but support this decision.

WorMzy @ Jul 29th 2008 8:52PM

Apparently the C&C Red Alert BETA started today. I'm just waiting for them to send me a client download link.

Er.. I realise that that's not really on topic, per se, but I just wanted to point out that they're making progress on something, at least. :3

Ihavepants @ Jul 29th 2008 9:28PM

It's not even the same team...

WorMzy @ Jul 29th 2008 10:14PM

Well excuse me for not knowing how EA manages its projects. :p

Shawn @ Jul 29th 2008 10:48PM

and the delays are starting. Already, I can count 6 games supposed to come out by year end, no longer. Of course, Activision dropping games didn't help at all.

Wait wait wait, what was wrong with renegade? that game was awesome! Not amazing, but I liked it!

Also, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, but at the same time, this should help them make the game a lot better. Oh well, i guess there won't be two Command and Conquer games this year D:

I'm disappointed, but not at all surprised. I found this on a list of release dates recently and decided to Google it. When I found only five screenshots, I had a feeling it wasn't going to make it this year. ;)

AwesomeTown @ Jul 30th 2008 7:22AM

I don't mind to wait, as long as they put in a gun that shoots globs of tiberium that melts people into a pile of goo. Yup, I'd buy that.

Dude, Renegade was awesome. It was released before any battlefield game. It was and it is still the only FPS with "C&C mode" (base destruction to win). No games ever brought the same idea. It's still played a lot and supported by a large community.

So please, try the game before saying bullshit...
