They don't mean a new universe, I think, pretty sure they just mean a whole new line of games.
Which means, more C&C FPS's are on the way.

I do not trust EA with shooters. After the rancid crap that was BF2 (I mean, come on- the game had a bug that made players invincible while jumping, and it didn't get caught in the beta? Nevermind all the gameplay flaws; the bugs were bad enough on their own), and after the bloody built-in adware of 2142 (pay $50 for a game, get charged for running a dedicated server- which most other games let you do on your own computer for free- and get advertised to anyway. Earth to EA: ads are for freeware and shareware, NOT paid products. AOL is not the example you should be learning from), I have zero faith in anything else they produce.
Hell, the only reason I haven't boycotted their crap completely is because I wanted to see where C&C3 took the story; that it was an exception to the "EA makes shit" rule was a nice plus but an exception is exactly what that was.
Renegade kicked ass because, despite the obvious differences between it and the games it was based on, it still captured the feel of the universe. In the end, it was still about outproducing and outmaneuvering the enemy with the ultimate goal of destroying their base. The damage model also closely followed that of the RTS titles- massed firepower was necessary to achieve quick kills on armor, and even infantry battles could drag out in one-on-one fights. It may not have captured the feel of its parent games perfectly, but it came about as close to creating the sensation of "Grunt's-Eye RTS" as anything could have. That made Ren something unique; it played out like no other game I can think of. IMHO, that puts Ren somewhere in the company of titles like System Shock 2 and Tribes- games that did something different and were loads of fun anyway (and which, like Ren, have developed a cult following which stubbornly refuses to abandon ship for newer games).
"Tiberium" looks to be just another "let's do it again, but change the faceplate" game of the sort that has become unfortunately more and more popular, especially with EA. It may turn out fine as a game, but it's also effectively guaranteed to feel nothing at all like something that belongs in the C&C universe. It will feel like a standard-issue shooter riding the brand name to glory, which will very likely give it the same status to a lot of long-time series fans as Generals had (that is, C&C in name only).
I really want to adopt a wait-and-see attitude Tiberium this is concerned, and the fact that EA got C&C3 at least partially right makes that desire stronger... but somehow, I just can't believe that this has any chance of turning out well.

^^that guy byfar makes the longest posts, the most often out of any forum that I've ever been a part of, but atleast he's right.
thats the point, how fucking tired is everyone of EA rapin the BF franchise? Tired. Even themselves as they see they can't make another BF, so they decide, hmhm other popular franchise? C&C? Oh, lets do BF3, uh I mean, "Tiberium"!
They already look bad for doing this sorta thing as many times as they already have, lets see how long they can keep it going...

"I think that the big learning from Renegade was that it didn't have command, it didn't have leadership, it didn't have those compulsions that are so expected from a game that's inspired by Command & Conquer," Plummer is quick to confirm. "We wanted to take that experience and bring it into first person. Really, the direction that we've gone in this time is that the take on the universe is...let's call it 'hyper real."
^^Biggest bullshit Ive ever read. EA is back on my shitlist.

I just think it's kind of ironic that they're criticizing Renegade for not being C&C enough, and yet their game multiplayer mode has no correlation to Command & Conquer except for the fact that you're capturing tiberium spike respawn points.
