I played it and thought omg what a rip off of Dune 2 which was OMFG! game... But yeah they did bring it to a new level and the graphics in this look very cool my son is gonna love it.
Westwood studios developped both titles which set what was going to become RTS standards until even today. They truly fucked C&C 4 and haven't communicated on the monetization yet so we;ll see if this C&C will be a hit. All i know is that it will be C&C Generals 2.0 and that is good news.
