BioWare Developing C&C Generals 2 for 2013

The Command & Conquer Blog has the announcement of Command & Conquer Generals 2, a sequel to this spin-off of the C&C series of real-time strategy games. A website for the game is already online, indicating BioWare is developing the game, and offering a trailer and screenshots to show off the game's Frostbite 2 engine graphics while confirming this is the announcement teased a couple of weeks ago. The trailer concludes saying the game is due in 2013, and here's a bit on what to expect:
In the near future, world leaders are mere seconds from signing a global treaty and bringing an end to war as we know it when a devastating terrorist attack rips through the peace conference, killing all in attendance. In a world left with no politicians, diplomats, or activists, only the Generals remain. It’s up to you to assume their roles, command of their forces, and put an end to global terrorism once and for all.

  • All-out War – Take control of three unique factions, competing for resources, building up your base of operation, and leading massive batteries of tanks, soldiers, and aircraft into battle.
  • Uncanny Sense of Realism – Frostbite 2 technology allows for visceral, visually stunning conflict at an epic scale. Incredibly detailed units and environments, dynamic physics, and exhilarating visual effects bring the battle to life in ways never before seen. This is the closest thing to real war without the consequences.
  • New Ways to Dominate or Ally with your Friends – Go beyond classic deathmatch with a selection of new multiplayer game modes, designed with both cooperative and competitive play in mind.
  • Thrilling Campaign – Command the war on terror in an electrifying single-player campaign. Experience the dramatic story from multiple perspectives—from heroic General to crazed terrorist—while engaging the enemy in pulse-pounding tactical combat.
  • Ever-evolving Experience – Enhance your game with an expanding array of downloadable content. From maps and units to factions, campaigns, and more, the fight against terrorism is deeper than ever.

All out War on Terror??? It simply doesnt seem like a lot of fun, not to mention its a little too close to some real-world scenarios. Dont get me wrong I would dig a realistic game that deals with these kinds of scenarios without all the politically correct bullshit, and without the politicking but Im afraid developing a game like that in the C&C universe which has always been more fantasy than reality is next to impossible...
Yeah, that was one of the reasons I didn't like Generals as much, as it was very US centric and the other sides were complete parodies.

Shameful what they're doing with Bioware's good name.
I'm sorry but they've been doing it to themselves, what with Dragon Age II. And being tied to EA means we've already seen Origin being bolted onto existing games and more deeply integrated into newer games.

Dawn of War 2 was a joke, it was not an RTS game.
That's your opinion, but as you can see from this thread many people appreciated the new take on the genre. And given how pathetic C&C4 was I'd rather see them take some risks that play it safe.
