Damn, that Trailer is one terrible piece of crap.
The graphics is so 1999. What gives. Don't tell me you've run out of ideas. Look at StarCraft 2. Let's face it, they bloddy nailed it. But now even that is old. You better come up with fantastic graphics and breathtaking animations. The trailer shows nothing of that.
This is the same old same old, just with a worse packaging. There is only one word that sums it up appropriately: BORING.
What you need is a storyline with interesting boss fights and characters that are graspable, visable, real. I don't have to remind you of the last Command & Conquer. That was one massive catastrophy. Without any massive changes towards the future, you can kiss the series goodbye.
The licence had fantastic moments, but the same gameplay of the last century days is not sufficient anymore. Going free-to-play is one spectacular mistake. But that ship has sailed, you announced it, you can't go back.
What you can do is assure consistency, quality, diversity, and an intricate and exciting gameplay. Don't fuck it up. Give us a proper leitmotif, a thread we can follow, in the game. If you just concentrate on an online mmo, that neglects the roots of the game, then you are walking in the wrong direction and will fail. You don't really expect to make a dime out of that, do you? What do you expect the people to do?`To thank the heavens that you are bringing out a free-to-play strategy mmo? Based on what? Your last game was epic crap, people will hesitate, they won't jump for it.
I'm still not seeing it. This better not break your necks. Damn, we wanted a proper next C&C, not an even wimpier version.
