I also no C&C giveaways too! :P
EA has, in general, been very Smaugian with their games; very few of
their titles are ever offered for free. It will happen occasionally
-Epic got us "Mass Effect" and "Dead Space" once- but it's far less
common that Electronic Arts titles make the circuit as free games than
other publishers. Plus, EA is famous for burying its old intellectual
properties.
All that and "Command & Conquer" is pretty much a dead franchise,
remembered only by aging PC gamers*, so it's not as if the free offer
would get that many takers anyway.
TL;DR: C&C freebies? Don't hold your breath
* excluding compilations and remasters, the last new Command & Conquer
game came out in 2003!
