When EA took over the brand, some of the members remained to bring the games over to the then Origin platform. I remember when I bought the entire C&amp;C collection and how it felt to play it on Windows 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EA then dismissed what remained of the Westwood team. Instead of vanishing into the Nether, they regrouped and formed <strong>Petroglyph<\/strong>. It\u2019s the same studio that remastered Command &amp; Conquer and Red Alert, two of the most popular RTS games of its time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, Petroglyph is taking it back to the drawing board with the upcoming The Great War: Western Front. Set in World War 1, you\u2019ll have two playable styles. These roles are <strong>Field Commander<\/strong> and <strong>Theatre Commander<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Field Commander, you play the traditional <strong>real-time strategy style<\/strong> where everything happens in a steady flow. You can build bases and train troops, creating trenches as you advance. The Theatre Commander mode is a <strong>turn-based version<\/strong>, giving you chance to plan your attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those of us still loyal to Westwood, now Petroglyph, can\u2019t wait to see what The Great War: Western Front will be like. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=E0wmCA5ACTc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">trailer<\/a> doesn\u2019t really offer that much information. If you\u2019re hungry for some nostalgia, be sure to check out the Command &amp; Conquer Remastered Collection.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\" Command &amp; Conquer\u2122 Remastered Collection\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-logo-xl,f_auto\/p\/7a09402d-eae8-4aa8-a943-c403ff9c97e4\/3697604296\/command-conquer-remastered-collection-icon.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\"> Command &amp; Conquer\u2122 Remastered Collection<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/command-conquer-remastered-collection.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/command-conquer-remastered-collection.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who all remembers the cherished Command &amp; Conquer games from the 90s and early 20s where you took on and destroyed armies in real-time?
