You do realize that was a beta you played? Expect it to be buggy, unfinished, unbalanced. If you don't want to play that - wait until the full release.

@Maseno

Aye; Bigpoint have been trading since 2002. Runescape, a F2P MMORPG released in 2001.

Its not just a stretch of the imagination but a downright fabrication that they "introduced the concept of F2P games".

@EIranzer

Indeed, you're basing it off a red cover?

The case brought a tear to my eye - my HD DVDs are still sat collecting dust - when BD RW drives drop in price they will be fully restored to modern format glory!

@sonyforlife

Why would it be unlikely? Valve's Hammer level editor allows you to create custom maps for all other Source games (HL2, L4D 1&2, TF2, CSS...) . The community is what helps keep people playing - I'd stake my job and salary on custom-built levels.

@blackcat7k

Jagex didn't license the IP from Hasbro, they went into patnership with Hasbro - subtle but key difference :),

@2late2die

Both! We're working on a single player campaign and a multi-player aspect Both are almost complete (but it'll be done when its done). :)

@Decanus

Yeah, EA have actually been brilliant since the start - we've got a close relationship with the C&C community management team who have helped us run competitions and events in the past. We're not in the business of letting the community, fans or the IP down! :)

Just wish I had a bit more time personally to contribute to the project - I work as full time game artist as my job, then come home to work on this project - its like permanent crunch! :D

@Decanus

They are letting us finish :)! They've given us their blessing, and it'll be free for all to play!

We're getting there! Will be sure to let the rest of the team know we hit Joystiq!

... anyway, back to the environments in my quiet corner...

Wish I'd read the rules. Poor UK residents. I can nominate such an individual in the US who would surely appreciate such an animal.

We've done business before, me and Charrlie. He has quite a severe case of psychopathy being characterised quite definitively by all of the Factor 1 traits from the Hare Checklist, namely; a grandiose sense of self-worth, pathological lying, manipulativeness, clear lack of guilt, empathy and a complete failure to accept responsibility for one's own actions.

This makes him a most ideal companion when battling the dark forces of Megatron who occasionally succumbs to the imbalances of living atop an unstable black box of unremitting bright liquid crystal, itself worsened by my own meanderings around the portal where I am forever enslaved in game development crunch space-time.
