skirmishes online will instead be the focus of the game, said Van Caneghem.<\/p>\n<p>Van Caneghem continued that the reason for the decision is to &#8220;get back to the roots of what made Command &amp; Conquer great.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The new model for the series allows for the developers to experiment with the way the game functions and evolves, explained Van Caneghem.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As a live service I think the exciting part is you can try things,&#8221; he said. &#8220;You can see what the community wants, you can give it a shot, you can put it up for a weekend and see how it goes, develop towards what the fans like.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A single-player campaign is something that could happen, but the studio GM said that &#8220;it is something we haven&#8217;t announced yet how we&#8217;re going to do it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Command &amp;
