Great! Was looking forward to the CnC:f2p for a long time and very disappointed when it got canceled, because it looked really nice in some aspects. Wasn't their F2P implementation completely fucking stupid? And then after fans complained about it and about it beeing very similiar to SC they cancelled it.
The f2p implementation was that you had tons of factions that differed in like 1-2units. Not sure how great that would have been, but obviously if you'd (fundamentally) change a unit like the roach or the marine in SC2, the game would play very differently so it could have been quite interesting.
They canceled because EA doesn't know what they want. The game was originally Generals 2 with a regular "buy-your-copy"-model. Then EA got a new management, who gave the order to make everything f2p. So they changed it. They got pretty far with it. Then EA got a new management, that gave the order to focus on mobile devices. So they canceled it.
I guess there were some fans that didn't like how the game was designed about being competetive and stuff like that, but in all honesty, those 3guys could not have supported the game anyways. EA just needed a to give a reason to blow it off when they changed their firm policy (again).
The team that was working on it didn't even know about those "concerns" from the management. They were just told overnight that the project would be stopped and that's it. Never did EA ever mention to them that there are fan concerns that they should evaluate.

Is it a good news ? I heard last C&Cs were garbage... Was he the same developer?
Anyway, If he can fix the broken UI and Hub, I'd be very happy !
While no C&C game even approaches the likes of Starcraft, the games were pretty fun. Generals and C&C3 in particular were quite good multiplayer games.

The issue with later C&C's wasn't the producers/development.
It was the retarded publsher behind it..

Can't be any worse with the current state of SC2.
Hopefully they bring micro back to the game, rather than this attack move crap.

Dream on. This dude probably has little influence in game design

Yea I doubt he will have much influence in how it goes.

I don't think you can blame C&C4 on the publisher - it was a shit game. It wasn't rushed, it just sucked.
I was interested in Generals 2 though, so hopefully this fella can bring some good stuff to SC2 land.

The guy is lead game producer... What does that have to do with the game design ? He won't fix any of the "issues" that you think the game has. But hey, you can always drop some hateful, unrelated comment... That's always fun.

Lead Game Producer doesn't actually mean that he'll be designing the game tho
|
His LinkedIn page has a ton of people's recommendations. He's apparently good at leading people and managing a team. He's not here for game design guys.
He directed a few short movies too, maybe he will direct a LofV cinematic... ?

Whenever I read about the evil Forcefields, I put BW in todays internet society and imagine how people would cry about Plague forcing the Protoss to attack into a setup Zerg defense. Or the Finger of Death skill called Irradiate.

And whining about how bio isn't viable in TvP  .

yeah the title is misleading because he's actually not gonna lead anything game-design realted in SC2, he's lead producer that's a big difference

The moment Westwood got taken over by EA it went downhill.
A truckload of great people left westwood to join other companies.

Cannot be worse than Dustin. As much as I like the guy's personality just not the right guy to lead the team.
|
Don't like that, I want Starcraft, not c&c. As great as everyone says cnc was/is - I never liked it.

Producer, as I understand, can control entire game developing strategy, how it goes, average ideas and concepts behind it.

So...what is the job description of a lead game developer? OP doesn't seem to know either. Pointless.
