Rumour: Command and Conquer 4! Final game, RPG and MMO elements.

Found this on NeoGAF.

Fuck yes!!!  I've thought that the idea of an MMO-RTS set in the C&C universe, if done properly, would be an incredible idea.  Hopefully, it turns out better than the Theatre of War setup on Endwar.  = D

I can't see RPG progression in a RTS multiplayer ending well. RTS's need to be extremely balanced or the whole game breaks. If you have an RPG style progression system, it gives higher leveled players an advantage, unbalances the game and ruins the game. In single player, sure, it can't do any harm, but in the multiplayer it just won't work.

im not a big c&c fan, but sounds cool.

"Introducing the first mobile base in RTS games: The Crawler. Focus on the action as the Crawler becomes your all-in-one base, which can be deployed and redeployed anywhere on the battlefield for even more strategic options" - I swear past C&C's had this?

Don't be like RA3 and I'm happy, I'm an RA fan the most of the CandC series but RA3 didn't interest me at all and this was confirmed when I played it.

As someone who took the survey I can say that these 2 things (the description and features) were mentioned in the survey.

(A little off topic but in the survey when they asked for favorite gaming sites, Giant Bomb was first in the row of sites (But it was probably in a randomized order))





Oh and the survey's here if you want to check it out.

I like my RTS games strict. MMOey feel might work in custom matches and single-player, but I don't think it's going to help the competitive gameplay.

I don't see a problem with the RPG/MMOish persistent multiplayer style as long as they implant a so called "true skill system", that puts equal players against each other. It works in FPS like Call of Duty 4, so why not in a RTS like Command & Conquer?

RPG elements in an RTS?  Why does this remind me of Warcraft 3?  Not that I am completely bagging on the idea.  I have always preferred the C&C games over the Blizzard RTS titles, so there is a good chance I'll take a look at this.  Albeit, I preferred the Red Alert games over the GDI/NOD C&C games. because the Red Alert games where ridiculously over the top.  I'd like to know more about how the MMO aspect would work.  I can only assume each player would have a "hero" character and victories would provide experience.  As standard, the higher your level the better a bonus your troops have.  And, like most PvP RTS games, I predict much deception and team-ups to grief.
