GamingHeaven: Command and Conquer 4 Preview

Before each mission players are taken to the tech depot, a load out style screen where they are able to determine which units and abilities will be available to troops on the field. Unlike previous C&C games the classes that you select are tied into the basic units you can utilize - so for instance buildings for defensive requirements, aircraft for support and infanty/vehicles for offensive. After this you can fine tune your crawler unit (the new mobile version of the construction yard) which is able to produce specific units and you can set up bonus skills such as fire rates and movement speeds. To get access to these extra abilities you purchase them with battle credits, the ingame currency which also is connected to a new progression based mechanic the developers are incorporating.
