25 offline campaign missions
12 co-op missions to play with your friends

AI with multiple difficulty options to play with cooperatively or fight against
Classic Base-Building mechanics let you construct the ultimate HQ from which to launch attacks against your foes

Easy to understand modern military units and structures lets RTS beginners jump right in
From the same team that brought you RTS classics such as Star Wars: Empire at War, Universe at War, and Grey Goo

REVIEWS
“This is probably the most beginner-friendly entry the genre has seen in the last decade, and it just works.” Gaming Nexus
“The ex-Westwood guys did an awesome job here! Clearly recommended for purchase.” HQ Gaming Network
“For fans of old Command & Conquer, this should be high on your list. A great title for those looking to get into the RTS genre or return to the classic RTS formula.” Select Button

This is also coming to Nintendo switch. Good game on PC but just felt they needed to add classes like RA2 or had at least NOD equivalent. (Last played on pc 1 year ago)
