Barely has BioWare presented the all new project of its Victory studio, in the form of Command & Conquer: Generals 2, and already the full list of features, as well as a possible minimum and recommended system requirements list, were posted on the web.

The Command & Conquer series of real time strategy games have been struggling to find an identity in the current gaming industry, what with most other strategy properties abandoning their roots and going for a more dungeon crawler feel.

Now, with a new studio, BioWare Victory, and under the guidance of the actual BioWare team, Command & Conquer: Generals 2 is coming, the sequel to 2004’s Generals and its subsequent expansion, Zero Hour.

“In the near future, world leaders are mere seconds from signing a global treaty and bringing an end to war as we know it when a devastating terrorist attack rips through the peace conference, killing all in attendance. In a world left with no politicians, diplomats, or activists, only the Generals remain. It's up to you to assume their roles, command their forces, and put an end to global terrorism once and for all,” EA said about theproject.

We’ve already seen the trailer and heard a few statements from the developers involved with the game, but, via CVG, a full list of features for the game was revealed, as well as a set of minimum and recommended PC requirements, which are quite peculiar, given that the game is scheduled to appear in 2013. Check both of them out below.

FEATURES:
- All-Out War - Take control of three unique factions, competing for resources, building up your base of operation, and leading massive batteries of tanks, soldiers, and aircraft into battle.
- Uncanny Sense of Realism - Frostbite 2 technology allows for visceral, visually stunning conflict at an epic scale. Incredibly detailed units and environments, dynamic physics, and exhilarating visual effects bring the battle to life in ways never before seen. This is the closest thing to real war without the consequences.
- New Ways to Dominate or Ally with Your Friends - Go beyond classic deathmatch with a selection of new multiplayer game modes, designed with both cooperative and competitive play in mind.
- Thrilling Campaign - Command the war on terror in an electrifying single-player campaign. Experience the dramatic story from multiple perspectives - from heroic General to crazed terrorist - while engaging the enemy in pulse-pounding tactical combat.
- Ever-Evolving Experience - Enhance your game with an expanding array of downloadable content. From maps and units to factions, campaigns, and more, the fight against terrorism is deeper than ever.

The requirements are relatively normal, although if you want to enjoy most high quality experience with DirectX 11 technology, you need a top of the line graphics card.

Minimum System Requirements
OS: Windows Vista (Service Pack 1) 32-bit
Processor: 2 GHz Dual Core (Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz or Athlon X2 2.7 GHz)
Memory: 2 GB

Graphics card (NVIDIA): DirectX 10.0 compatible with 512 MB RAM (NVIDIA GeForce 8, 9, 200, 300, 400 or 500 series with NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT or higher performance)
Sound card - DirectX Compatible
Keyboard and Mouse

Hard Drive: 20 GB

Bear in mind that these requirements might change as we approach the 2013 release date, but it’s worth using them as a guide for when you want to upgrade your gaming rig.
