Too bad no matter how good the game looks if it requires origin it will be dead the first second it is uploaded to a torrent site

In any case, this could shape up to be a good game.
Its storyline doesn't involve a leather-clad bald, mustacheod man who has an affinity for phallic shaped structures.

Generals became popular because EA turned all the other C&C games into bullshit.
And im sure, they will screw Generals 2 either

The last true TRUE C&C game was tib sun, maybe red alert 2, but EA kindof screwed them up too. Renegade is good, but it's an FPS!
The thing that made generals good was the modding, which also helped red alert 2. If bioware is smart, they will allow similar modding capabilities in the new installation.

Not sure why they're slapping the "Command & Conquer" title on there again. I'll probably buy the game when it goes on sale like I did with Red Alert 3, unless it's as bad as C&C4 was.

Take Command & Conquer: Generals 2, for example. EA says it's a "BioWare" game, but really, it's being developed by the same studio responsible for the last few Command & Conquer games. Those games didn't do that well, especially the woeful Command & Conquer 4, so in changing the name on the door to read "BioWare" instead of "EA", the publisher is obviously hoping to trade off a little of the goodwill associated with the former while distancing themselves from the reputation of the latter.

Would you believe there are now eight individual video game developers known as BioWare? Eight! There's the original team in Alberta, Canada. There's BioWare Victory. There's BioWare Austin, where Old Republic is in development. There's BioWare Mythic, BioWare Ireland and BioWare San Francisco. There's BioWare Montreal. There's even BioWare Sacramento, which is...a social game developer.

What'll probably happen, though, is it'll all end in tears. When I think BioWare, I think characters, choices and lots of dialogue. I do not think real-time strategy. The more studios EA calls BioWare, and the more games it releases under that umbrella that aren't associated with what that developer used to be known for, the more pointless the exercise becomes, as it trades away the very thing it was hoping to trade on in the first place.

usually means incredibly boring, mundane and dull as dishwater RPG's. Right now, BioWare produces soap opera's with storylines that make 80's after-school specials look Shakespearean.

pretty much what nikki said, i watched 10 minutes of mass effect and I just turned that shit off, it was 10 minutes of the most retarded dialogue i've ever seen. in all the interviews they've given about generals 2 all they've used is generic buzz words with the only real info that its gonna use frostbite 2 and will have no modding tools support.

Command & Conquer joins BioWare
I can't express how happy I am to announce the next instalment in the Command and Conquer franchise, Generals 2. It's been great to see the enthusiasm and activity within the community over the past year while you waited for more information, and I thank you all for your patience. Since the announcement of this studio in February, we've been listening to your feedback and are excited to bring back the beloved, action-packed game-play you remember from C&C Generals, modernized for a new era, and built on industry leading technology. What you see today is a tiny taste and just the beginning; we can't wait to show you more.
Additionally, I am excited to announce that Victory Games has joined the new BioWare label within EA. We are all huge fans of BioWare, especially of the uncompromised quality that comes along with every product. Our mission here does not change—we're still committed to making best-in-class strategy games—and joining the BioWare family will give us the tools we need in order to succeed. This has been a seamless transition, as we share the same core values and passion for making games as BioWare, in order to deliver immersive, high-quality experiences for our fans.
More information will be coming in the near future, so sign up for the newsletter and check back in at www.CommandandConquer.com for the latest!
Thank you,
Jon Van Caneghem

Idk why people hate generals. It's not like every game needs a rock solid storyline or numerous subplots, just enjoy the game for the hilarious stereotypes and explosions. Buying generals and zero hour and hating on them for not having a storyline or deep characters is like going to see transformers and complaining because it wasn't schindler's list.

Bioware, the actual company, has stated MANY times that their primary focus in making games is to deliver memorable stories with many moral and emotional twists in them. They have said this over and over... and they have already said that is what they hope to accomplish with Generals 2.
Even if this group of people isn't necessarily "Bioware," they are still carrying the company's name. It is not a smart business decision to use the name just to promote sales of one game. You want to sell a lot of MANY games, not just a lot of ONE game.
By using the name Bioware, EA obviously wants to cash in. However, if they don't deliver on Bioware's traditional promise to bring a good story to the game, then they will lose support for their future titles.
Granted THIS game would sell regardless of story simply due the the fact that the name Bioware is attached. But if they don't deliver a good story, what do you think fans will expect for the next game created by the company?
