    Ever heard of Command and Conquer? If you haven't I think you will enjoy the game more because it's a lot different then past Command and Conquer games.

    Imagine a rts game without base building or resources at all. That sums it up.

    That's because Command and Conquer games are typically abbreviated as "CnC or C&C" not "CC". I was confused until I read the URL in the first post too.

    This is definitely not like the earlier games. Very high tech and futuristic compared to C&C3 where I believe the events occured in the near future.

    It keeps bringing me back to the beta signup screen. (Apparently I'm already a member and I forgot, haha).

    Is that a bad sign?

    EDIT: According to the comments, there are apparently no more keys.

    Thank you for your interest in the Command & Conquer 4 Beta Test. Sadly, we've run out of keys.

    Sad..., I'm a C&C fan...
