I'd already abandoned the dream of a new Command and Conquer game long before the EA takeover was announced, but now it feels even less likely. The good news is that we're currently in a bold era of punchy up-and-comers like Tempest Rising that are inspired by the best RTS games of the past. Developer Slipgate Ironworks has continued to build on its creation, and the new Tempest Rising update has some great additions packed in. There are more maps, expanded AI options, extra customization tools, and fresh ways to indulge in the simple delight of a good old comp-stomp.
