List of canceled Command & Conquer games

Over the years, several video games in the Command & Conquer franchise began development, but were eventually canceled. Command & Conquer: Renegade 2 and Command & Conquer: Continuum were both in development by Westwood Studios before being canceled due to Electronic Arts' closure of Westwood Studios in 2003. Tiberian Incursion, the sequel to Tiberian Sun was also in early stages of development, but was put on hold until some of its concepts were reused in Tiberium Wars. Tiberium was being developed by EA Los Angeles before it was canceled due to quality concerns.

Command & Conquer: Renegade 2

Command & Conquer: Renegade 2 was to be another first-person shooter game using an updated version of the "Westwood 3D" engine, used in Command & Conquer: Renegade. Renegade 2 had two build versions: The first version of Renegade 2, was drafted as a connection to Command & Conquer from Red Alert 2. However, this was scrapped in favour of a Red Alert 2 based FPS that took place in the post Yuri's Revenge world. The storyline was about a rogue Soviet commander attacking America to avenge the honour of Premier Romanov (the commander was a Romanov). Most units designed were based on Red Alert 2 styles, however the Allied Light Tank and Soviet Hind Gunship were included, units which only appeared in Red Alert.

C++/CX

C++/CX (component extensions) is a language extension for C++ compilers from Microsoft that enables C++ programmers to write programs for the new Windows Runtime platform, or WinRT.

The language extensions borrow syntax from C++/CLI but target the Windows Runtime and native code instead of the Common Language Runtime and managed code. It brings a set of syntax and library abstractions that interface with the COM-based WinRT programming model in a way that is natural to native C++ programmers.

It is possible to call the Windows Runtime from Standard C++ via the Windows Runtime C++ Template Library (WRL).

Extension syntax

C++/CX introduces syntax extensions for programming for the Windows Runtime. The overall non platform-specific syntax is compatible with the C++11 standard.

Objects

WinRT objects are created, or activated, using ref new and assigned to variables declared with the ^ (hat) notation inherited from C++/CLI.

A WinRT variable is simply a pair of a pointer to virtual method table and pointer to the object's internal data.
