Command & Conquer Generals 2 (now known as "Command & Conquer," and also called by the moniker "C&C" or "CnC"), the infamous strategy video game that was scrapped in 2013, is said to be in the process of revival according to its first producer, Electronic Arts (EA).
Command & Conquer Generals 2 used to part of the Command & Conquer video game series; but, is now the series' prime game and has thus been called "Command & Conquer" since 2013.
