Overview

Released in 1997 by Westwood Studios, this title brings a unique twist to the Command & Conquer series. Deviating from the traditional real-time strategy format, it introduces a multiplayer experience focusing on survival and combat.

Gameplay

The game shifts the focus from base building and resource management to action-packed single-unit control. Players select a single unit and battle it out against others in arena-style maps. The objective is to be the last unit standing, emphasizing personal tactics and control skills.

Multiplayer Focus

Designed exclusively with multiplayer in mind, it supports up to 50 players per match. This massive multiplayer environment was relatively pioneering for its time, offering players a dynamic and hectic battle royale experience long before the genre became popular.

Legacy

Although not as celebrated as its predecessors, it remains an interesting experiment within the franchise. Its unique take on the multiplayer experience showcases Westwood Studios’ willingness to explore new gaming concepts, paving the way for future innovations in large-scale online gaming.
