Electronic Arts' seminal strategy franchise Command & Conquer is coming to your web browser as a massively multiplayer online game, and best of all, it's free to play. Command & Conquer Tiberium Alliances will be released as a closed beta today, with invitations issued by email to some of those who sign up. Tiberium Alliances is the latest of EA's big names to be seen under the Play4Free branding, following earlier releases under the Need for Speed and Battlefield brands. It's been a good month for browser-based gaming, with big names Square Enix and Super Giant Games both releasing titles for Chrome's Native Client recently. There's no word on the technology behind the game yet, but EA says that unlike other Play4Free games, Tiberium Alliances will work across a range of web browsers and mobile devices. The trailer, while containing some in-game footage, isn't much more helpful.

This really surprised me when I saw that trailer in VGA. Hopefully they won’t f*** it up. But I won’t keep my expectations high.

It went downhill as soon as Westwood Studios were bought out by EA – all the talent at the company started leaving. I miss the original C&C and Red Alert games!

A part of me died inside after watching that.

Oh joy, another browserfied, MMO-ified version of a once-great gaming series! More “social” gaming, yippee! And SE is involved? Boy, that’s the mark of quality right there!

Why do people always find it necessary to complain about free services, when they could just as easily opt out of using them?

You and I just aren’t cool enough to understand, Toss. Maybe one day, we’ll get there.

Because they are complaining about EA shitting all over a franchise of amazing games some of us grew up with, it has bugger all to do with “free services”.

Generals 2 is coming…the greatest and only true base hopping(like Warcraft or Sc) RTS from EA. The GLA was simply brilliant.

EA has Bioware working on the next C&C game. Well it’s another recently bought studio with bioware slapped on it producing it. However i trust Bioware.

“Reporting” “Yes sir” “Affirmative” “Right away sir” “Sending help immediately” “Reinforcements have arrived” “Moving Out”…Man I loved the first few C&C…Then there was Tanya, man she was ruthless with that laugh and all…“Primary objective complete”

The more I think about it, the more this is aimed to compete with End of Nations, another MMORTS, but not browser-based, game incoming. It’s develop by Petroglyph, the devs that brought Universe at War: Earth Assault and Star Wars: Empire at War games. The interesting thing to note is they are made up of the ex-Westwood guys.
