Critics and long-time fans alike were taken aback by how this first-person/third-person shooter spinoff seemed out of left field compared to entries that came before and after it. After multiple delays (with an early trailer released in 2000), it finally reached shelves on Februfor PC.
Instead, the Commando idea became the seed for what came to be known as Command and Conquer: Renegade. Although a deceptively small and forgotten piece of trivia at a glance, the concept of a three-dimensional non-RTS game set in the Tiberium universe didn’t fade away. Little else is known about that abandoned project, save for a “Pre-Milestone 1” tech demo discovered and publicly released in 2014 said demo contained three completed models – a test model, the titular Commando and a fully-rendered Nod Flame Tank – a player test, terrain test and a “Jogging Around Atlanta” level. But while this infamously backfired with the launch and reception of the online multiplayer Sole Survivor, it wouldn’t be the last time the original developers toyed with making a different kind of offshoot.Īs early as July 1997 (around the same time that Sole Survivor was being worked on), Westwood was experimenting on 3D models and environments for a PlayStation 1 project titled Command and Conquer – Commando. Almost from the very beginning, however, Westwood Studios had plans to expand the saga into other niches and genres. The classic Command and Conquer franchise have been associated with real time strategy ever since Tiberian Dawn came out in 1995.
