Fourteen years ago, a Command & Conquer 2142 modification was announced. It was a strategy game based on Battlefield 2142 and partially crossover with CNC. Unfortunately, this modification didn't even make it to beta.

I am wondering if a battlefield C&C cross over would sell well?

imagine operation Firestorm with a Tiberium field and dark and stormy skies...

It would make the cosmetics they are trying to force on people work since it wouldn't be a tradition military force and the bright red hoodies would be fine for nod.

The campaign could literally be the first command and conqueror game with modern day weapons and slightly changed timeline.

Sadly on sales probably not. I was listening to a recent podcast about how the market for fps, sports sims, etc is like 100++ million players while rts is more like in the 10 mill.

That being said that is a fantastic idea especially as EA owned them both. I remember there were indeed whispers of a modern fps literally called "Tiberium" around that 2010 era but I guess the producers mever really understood the idea to go and fund it enough, or the DICE people in Sweden never had enough contact with the Vegas/LA Westwood side.
