Command & Conquer
''Command & Conquer'' (abbreviated as ''C&C'' or ''CnC'') is a real-time strategy video game franchise, first developed by Westwood Studios. The first game was one of the earliest of the RTS genre, itself based on Westwood Studios' landmark strategy game ''Dune 2'' and introducing trademarks followed in the rest of the series. This includes full motion video cutscenes with a notable ensemble cast to progress the story, as opposed to digitally in-game rendered cutscenes. Westwood Studios was taken over by Electronic Arts in 1998 and eventually closed down in 2003. The studio and some of its members were absorbed into EA Los Angeles, which continued development on the series.
==History==
The first installment, ''Command & Conquer'', was released worldwide by Westwood on August 31, 1995. The plot is set sometime in the near future where the Earth becomes infected by a mysterious resource known only as Tiberium. A global war ensues between the UN-formed Global Defense Initiative to contain it and the cult quasi-state revolutionary Brotherhood of Nod, led by the enigmatic Kane, which seeks to harness it. Highly successful, it was followed by ''Command & Conquer: Red Alert'' in 1996 which is set in an alternate universe where the Soviet Union wages war with the Allied West. Developed as the prequel to the original, the ''Red Alert'' series was spun off into a separate, lighthearted and comic series, while the original game and its sequels became known as the "Tiberium" series, retaining its sci-fi and serious tone. The first game is sometimes referred to as ''Tiberian Dawn'' as a result.
The original game was followed by ''Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun'' in 1999 and its expansion pack. In 2002, a first person-shooter set in the ''Tiberium'' universe, ''Command & Conquer: Renegade'', was released and praised for its online features. The highly anticipated ''Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars'' was released in 2007 and followed by the expansion pack ''Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath''. ''Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight'', released in 2010 as the conclusion to the ''Tiberium'' saga, received noticeably more mixed reviews because of its deviation from traditional gameplay. The ''Red Alert'' series was continued by the 2000 title ''Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2'', its expansion, ''Yuri's Revenge'' and ''Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3'' in 2008, which introduced a third "Empire of the Rising Sun" faction. A spin-off game in 2003, ''Command & Conquer: Generals'', set in a more realistic near-future and featuring the United States, China and the Global Liberation Army was followed by an expansion pack, ''Zero Hour''.
The series was originally marketed to an Anglophone audience, though many of the games have been translated into other languages including German, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Korean, and Chinese. The series is primarily developed for personal computers running Microsoft Windows, although some titles have been ported to various video game consoles and the Apple Macintosh. Other games for platforms such as iOS and web-based have also been developed. As of July 2010, the ''Command & Conquer'' franchise consists of eleven games and eight expansion packs. The first three games of the series have been released as Freeware to promote the successors. EA had confirmed that a new free-to-play game, entitled ''Command & Conquer'', was in development with the studio Victory Games. It was set to be the next game in the series and was expected to be released in 2013. However, after a short alpha period the game was cancelled, and Victory Games disbanded by EA.〔http://www.commandandconquer.com/en/news/1380/a-new-future-for-command-conquer〕〔http://www.polygon.com/2013/10/29/5043244/ea-cancels-free-to-play-command-and-conquer〕 The ''Command & Conquer'' series has been a commercial success with over 30 million ''Command & Conquer'' games sold as of 2009.
