C&C 3 - Tiberium Wars

[Ruslan74]

Read IGN's E3 interview (http://pc.ign.com/articles/705/705757p1.html) with EA staff on the ressurection of the game.

Snippet(s) :


The First Tiberium War between the Global Defense Initiative (GDI) and the Brotherhood of NOD (NOD), was a furious conflict fought on multiple continents. The GDI was sort of like NATO - a collection of first world countries with combined military forces. NOD was a strange hybrid of terrorist organization and nation state, a high-tech cult with a religion built around Tiberium, led by a charismatic psychopath named Kane. NOD had a modern military infrastructure and recruited soldiers from the third world. Kane manipulated global public opinion against GDI. Tanks, aircraft, and infantry from both sides clashed on the battlefields of the future, the already rapid pace of warfare accelerated by exotic new weapons based on particle beams, and Tiberium technology.

GDI battled NOD to a standstill at the end of the first game. Command & Conquer Tiberian Sun was the next chapter - and told the story of the second Tiberium War that erupted between GDI and a resurgent NOD.

It turns out the pessimists were right. Kane is back - and he's been busy building up NOD while GDI grew complacent. The Brotherhood launches a massive surprise attack on GDI that begins with the destruction of GDI's orbital military command center. NOD strikes while all of the GDI leaders are on board the space station Philadelphia for a conference on the containment of Tiberium. The Philadelphia and the entire political and military leadership of GDI are vaporized, reduced to a cloud of radioactive dust by a nuclear missile.

Kane has been a bad boy. :whip:

The screenies are quite hot. Will we get Tanya again to raise havok behind enemy lines with C4?

[rainy]

Tanya was in Red Alert ;)

[Ruslan74]

bummer... cant we import her into this game too?

[rainy]

Maybe they should make a game called C&C - Generation Clash. There Tanya and them can meet up Havoc and the GDI, while Kane and Slavik join forces with Yuri and his minions... ;)

[Ruslan74]

now that would be a messy business...

[FeralBanana]

Lol... I would play the neutral team containing 1337 units like busses from RA and the infected tiberium civilians from CNC tiberium stuffs... :p

[Ruslan74]

just give me Tanya and her C4... blow you guys away!

:bdog:

[FeralBanana]

Lol... in what way useless?

Ya know, with good grafix, she might even look....

Step right up, step right up. You, yes you, get to choose something about Tanya! Continue as if from above... And choose... Your destiny! (or Tanya's, it don't matter)
Option A:

Like a woman!

Option ii

Um.. Ugly?

Option 3

Like Barbie as an Air Hostess!

[Red_Mercury]

What about those Hollywood guys in Yuri's revenge. They were insane.... INSANE!!! three of them could take out everything.:rolleyes:

[FeralBanana]

Exactly, they're included in my neutral team :p

[Alluvium]

mm C&C rocks ! i remebr playing ALOT of C&C 1 ,,, like i own every C and C , ever :p

i am an addict : /

[Brawler]

Tanya was in Red Alert ;)

Wasnt she in the original C&C aswell?

Back to topic I will definately be buying this game, C&C games are the best I had them all, but then I threw away the ones that dont work on XP, dammit! Anybody know where I can get Red ALert 1? its got to be my all time favourite game, its what got me into PC gaming.

[FeralBanana]

Try the C&C Decade if/when it's out

[Brawler]

Its out oversea's dont think its coming to SA

[rainy]

C&C First Decade is available at BTGames for R400. All the games have been made run-able on XP, as far as I hear.

[FeralBanana]

Yaay!

Thanks RN, that's what I meant :D

[Brawler]

Anyone got a ETA for CC3?

[gus]

Anyone got a ETA for CC3?

Gamespot says March 2007
http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/commandconquer3/index.html?q=Tiberium%20Wars

[Bass]

Hmmm .. nice .. will take a look when it comes out :)

Seems like there will be a few good RTS games this year !

[Brawler]

thnx gkm, cant wait :)

[Ruslan74]

mmm... C&C was good until EA bought them over. Will wait for a demo of this one before giving EA my bucks.

[Stool]

hmmm some aliens ?

[Brawler]

demo's out @ 1.2 gb :yikes:

useless give us a review plz :D

[FeralBanana]

GOGOGOGOGO NAG DVD!! :D

Hope it's gud :D

[Brawler]

K well got the demo, very impressed with first impressions! Certainly feels a lot more Command & Conquer than Generals did. Graphics are very good, runs smooth as silk @ ultra high @ 1280 * 1024 which is a relief cause i was expecting to have to get a dx10 card to play it. Demo includes 1 skirmish battle & 1 normal GDI campaign.

Kane is back :D

[rainy]

Sounds good. Might actually buy the game blind.

[Ruslan74]

In the demo you CAN actually play as NOD :



Just go to the race select bit, put your cursor over NOD and then hit 'N' on your keyboard. Then left click and it'll switch to NOD. You can use the same method with 'G' to switch the AI to GDI." This would be for skirmish mode, of course.

Thus far its more of the same as its original predecessors, which is both a good and bad thing. Lets say C&C 3 is a simplistic RTS while Supreme Commander is the RTS Simulator on a much larger scale. Both are good games but for the crowd with little time to play they would enjoy C&C 3 more.

some screenies i just took, dont quite give it justice though.
the animations are very good which you cant really see.

[Ruslan74]

one good thing this game supports natively is widescreen support btw... kudos to EA for that, finally! :)

[Roloreaper]

Yes I've seen some of the picture and I must say looks fine...

Useless do dream of EA as the Ruler of games that ur boasting about them here?

[rainy]

Tested the demo, runs fine on my PC and looks like lots of fun. I already like it a lot more than Generals. The video sequences are a bit amateurish, but kudos to Westwood for putting them in - keeps the C&C spirit going.

[BioGizzard]

it gets released today doesn't it?
i think i read it on EA website

i can't wait for it, i LOVE C&C series

[rainy]

BTGames has it for April 8.

[rainy]

Got my copy today. The T-Shirt that BTGames Bonu$ subscribers are getting is cool, and it seems to be good quality. Will give the game a bash tonight.

[Brawler]

and???
Whats it like? CNA better hurry up and get it

[rainy]

I love it. Feels like good old C&C, but with better graphics, new units and a lot of big ass superweapons. Should be fun online.

[Flangenimblick]

This is a dam fun game! I havnt stoped playin it since I got it! I agree with you rainy, I was a bit jaded after generals but this has that old C&C feel!

[Onyx]

My son bought himself a copy today...
(Maybe he will let his mom play too? :D)

[FeralBanana]

Must... buy.. play... online

For Kain!

And of course im committed to keeping to Human Race Alive, so Go GDI!

But yet the aliens just kick 7 kinds of coolness outta the other races, so GO SCRIN!

Who am i going to play :(

[rainy]

Well, first you gotta learn how to spell the name of the NOD leader ;)

[FeralBanana]

Is not Kain??? :eek:

They lieesss to us!

Izzet Cain?

Coz i've always seen it spelt as Kain

[rainy]

K - A - N - E

[FeralBanana]

Yay!

C - A - T

I'm good at enlish! :Dd

[FeralBanana]

Hokay we need a proper thing of who's got this game, whos playing online and whos up for a game on Hamachi :D

I've played with greg/bambi over hamachi and its pretty sweet...

Oh, and we need a cool little icon like the 2 or the 2142 or the GW icon but as GDI or NOD (or Scrin :D)

[Flangenimblick]

i pilot...i fly... (20 points to anyone guessing which movie thats from...)

add me 2 play, but once again I'll only be playin online once my net connection is sorted!

[Vortex]

I've just got myself this little puppy! :)

/me has 3 more hours per day on backorder..

[BambisRevenge]

i dunno the exact numbers of people playing CnC 3 yet but it seems like we could have a nice 2vs2

how does that sound guys?

[TG]

i pilot...i fly... (20 points to anyone guessing which movie thats from...)


ID4. And actually (going from memory here), he says "I'm pilot. I c'n fly."

[FeralBanana]

TG you flipping freak..now ill only forgive you if you have CNC3 and are up for a game sometime ;)

[Onyx]

Got the game (actually my son's).... but need to find the time to play.

[TG]

Prognosis: Very doubtful.

I absolutely completely suck at RTS, so I usually give them a miss.
