Despite the online multiplayer running on GameSpy, after the latter was discontinued in 2014, community servers allowed players to continue to play the multiplayer mode.The expansion adds new content, such as overpowered units, buildable once per faction, a new game mode called Global Conquest, where the game shifts to a turn-based strategy game, and in battles the game goes into the standard Skirmish mode, and an entire new campaign (playable only with the Nod faction).Also, in Skirmish mode, it's possible to change the enemy AI for it to match your playstyle. All the classic game modes of the previous Command & Conquer games return.

A construction queue is added, and each base has its own construction queue for an easier management.Very nice FMV cutscenes which play between a mission and the other.The graphics, while not as good as other RTS games at the time such as Company of Heroes, are very stable due to the use of a new engine called the SAGE (Strategy Action Game Engine), based off the engine used in Command & Conquer: Generals.
