Those looking to play the newest Command & Conquer on LAN are going to be disappointed. It was recently announced that Command & Conquer 4 will include absolutely no LAN or dedicated server functionality. This is sure to be a blow to the tournament organizers who were planning to use C&C 4 in their events.

The reason for this is apparently the leveling system used in the game. Since it spans single player, multiplayer and skirmish it makes it impossible for LAN or dedicated servers to make sensey. Of course, they could have just left the leveling system out for LAN but you know, that’d just be too easy.
