On Tuesday afternoon Gestalt infiltrated Westwood's heavily defended base at ECTS, examined Renegade up close, and then half-inched their last press CD... Here's his report.
It's been five long years since Command & Conquer first introduced us to the Global Defense Iniative, the Brotherhood of Nod, and Tiberium. Its success helped spawned the whole real time strategy genre, and along with Red Alert and all the various mission packs and bundles that followed it's managed to shift somewhere in the region of 10 million units.

A look at Dark Reign II, Soldier Of Fortune, and Vampire, three of Activision's games due for release next year.
Although Activision once again spurned the crowded exhibition halls of ECTS this year, they were in London to demonstrate several of their games on Monday. Taking over the York Suite at the swanky Royal Garden Hotel must have cost them almost as much as a proper stand at ECTS would have done, but whatever their reasons it did at least give us a chance to check out some of their games in relative quiet.
