Paying $50 for a collection of 17 Command & Conquer games seems excessive, given that you'll most likely never play many of them, but that's what EA hopes you'll do. Ah, but there's a bonus--its 'Command & Conquer the Ultimate Collection' bundle includes early beta access to the curious new free-to-play Command & Conquer thing C&C: Generals 2 morphed into. If you find that at all tempting.
Command & Conquer: Generals 2 will pack eSports features, but won't have a single-player campaign at launch.
Though the announcement of Command & Conquer: Generals 2 was welcomed by many, EA really needed something a little more drastic to revive the flagging strategy series. Drastic it has indeed delivered, announcing at Gamescom that Generals 2 will be free-to-play as part of an online F2P service, with more free C&C games to come.
Command & Conquer: Tiberium Alliances has now gone out of beta and launched, and is playable for free through a browser.
Some Warhammer 40K fans have noticed that the tanks in C&C Tiberium Alliances are extremely similar to tanks from the tabletop series. EA is "looking into" the matter.
