This sure came out of nowhere. And funny enough, i honestly thought that EA would release Command & Conquer Generals 2 at some point.

But nope (and i can´t say that i like “Tiberium Alliances” all that much), instead Bandai Namco Games comes to my (our) rescue with their F2P browser RTS game “Battleline: Steel Warfare“.

And i have to say that Battleline looks (and feels) really impressive.

Battleline actually made me think of a mix between “Close Combat” and “C&C Generals“. And that´s a really nice combination, at least in my book.

So if you like the thought of such a game, then you should give Battleline: Steel Warfare a try! Oh! Did i mention that it´s a F2P title? 😉

About Battleline:
