Command & Conquer Generals 2: No single player campaign at launch

WhiteLightning

C&C Generals 2 won’t have a single player campaign at launch but it will have a strong focus on eSports, BioWare has confirmed.

Speaking with PC Gamer, Bioware Victory general manager John Van Caneghem explained that Generals 2 will not launch with a single player campaign, and that both co-op and PvP skirmishes will serve as the game’s focus.

Caneghem did reveal however, that more modes could be added to the game if the community demand is high enough, including a story mode.

Speaking of where the game may evolve over time, Caneghem added, “We decided to choose Generals as the first set of games we build under the universe, but we’ll be expanding after that, like Tiberium and Red Alert as well as some others as well. But Generals 2 was the first one, and it was one of the biggest sellers, as well as the fanbase has been asking for it for some time.”

Yes, the fanbase has been asking for it for some time, and what they're giving is not what the fanbase is asking for, therefore, the fanbase will continue to ask for it

Free to play games don't lend themselves to single player modes. There's no skins to purchase and show off, etc.

Didn't even want the game to be free to play.

Wanted it for the campaign.

Goddamn. EA is getting to be just as bad as Ubisoft.

This is disappointing, mainly because I loved the single player C&Cs. I was never any good at multiplayer RTS games.

For all these years of wait EA goes and completely messes up the game by making it Free to Play. That means micro transactions that will kill of the game because they will never get it the proper way as some companies do.

Generals never had anything to do with that plot line.

F2P Tiberium game? How can they kill something that's already dead? C&C 4 *shivers*

Unrelated to the tiberium plot though.

Still, this has no plot, so it doesn't matter.
