The next Command and Conquer title could be different. An online survey making the rounds suggests that Electronic Arts’ is considering putting a touch of MMO in the dated RTS. The features -- as listed by the survey -- include traditional experience points-laden “player progression,” new “bigger and badder” units, and five versus five “objective-based games.”
Chicks and Rick Flair were not mentioned in the survey.
There’s nothing in particular that jumps out at us in terms of establishing the survey’s legitimacy, but the feature list is quite rather pointed. There’s a mention of a new mobile base called “The Crawler” as well as “an all-new story written by a new scriptwriting team.” Interesting, if true.
EA isn’t talking about the survey, either. When Shacknews asked about the survey, they were given a beefy no comment: “We have nothing to confirm regarding the C&C franchise at this time."
So, do you want the next C&C to be an MMO? It’s an interesting idea that we believe could give the old bird some new life. Seriously. We’ve been playing C&C forever and it feels like nothing has changed with every new iteration.

C&C MMO FTW!
Hopefully it's not an ATARI situation where we just dump all of the bad MMO's in the desert somewhere.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Seriously, nobody has posted that yet in the comments?
RTS + MMO sounds like the most hardcore of hardcore games. I don't know if I'd be in, since I always balk at paying a monthly fee for just one game.
damnit, you beat me to it... screw it, I'm not going to let you ruin my fun
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Why an MMO? why not release one on the
WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!?
/seriously throw Ric Flair into more games
EDIT: I meant EA not Westwood. Slip of the brain.
Maybe a little credit would be cool?
Hey guys, plenty of WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!s to go around.
Ugh.
@Turbofail - And yeah, there are a ton of failing MMOs ... but if EA manages to throw this together well, then C&C Online shouldn't blow.
