Command & Conquer 4 is in public beta

C&C4 is now offering fans everywhere a chance to get in on the action!

Command and Conquer 4, the fourth and final installment on the C&C series (as far as the RTS games are currently concerned), has recently been under closed private beta - but is now widely open to the public.

To gain access to the beta, just head over to Gamespot to create an account, then head to the C&C4 beta page to grab your key, of which thousands are supposedly posted each day.

While we have signed up for a key, we're waiting in-line like everyone else, as explained in this friendly message:

Thanks for your interest in the Command & Conquer 4 Open Beta. We're currently limiting the rate at which we're distributing keys, but we've just secured you a place in line. We'll display your key here when we release more keys in the coming days, and we'll be sure to notify you by email as well.

Still, for access to the game before launch this is a great way to get it, and even better is the preorder offer - you'll get an exclusive prequel mission called Night Moves, plus all the usual preorder goodies.

Get into it!
