Right now Command & Conquer Free To Play live service uses Frostbite 3, but if Dice updates it to Frostbite 4, 5, 6, etc. You'll always be using the newest version of the Frostbite engine. So, your experience with the game can be different even with the same client version. They will be able to do balance changes in the server or change how AI behaves on it and you won't need to update the client to see some of these changes. Of course that the end-user will not experience this lack of synchronization, however, what I want to emphasize here is that the server does process the game with your client, but the server has the final word on everything. ![]() When we were at the Community Lounge, we played a version where server and client were not properly synchronized and the first thing we notice in these situations are units teleporting, since the client and the server processed them in different positions (one of them was using a new acceleration algorithm in that occasion).

So, there is no need to switch to another software to pay for it, nor lose any data due to this kind of transfer. Also, you can access the menu and try the game with the same client as the full game. The advantage over the boxed model is that you can enable more features as long as you play, with no payment. Demos and multiples games in the same software/package: You no longer have a demo version of the game, but you can play the game without paying for it. The Free to Play business is different from the game box or digital copy they sold so far in many aspects: But this same live service could launch, in the future, other Command & Conquer games based in Tiberium and Red Alert storylines.Ĭommand & Conquer live service screenshot from Command & Conquer stage at Gamescom.
