Yes this is Tiberian sotry line.

BTW I read the C&C encyclopedia, it says something like Kane did meet Stalin (spell?) in Russian before, in RA timeline.

OMG I can't wait to see Banshee in 3D !!! I bet they will include the Mammoth MK2 in it again. But wonder how will they improve, enhance it.

Here is what I thinking (very personal opinion, all fire on them are welcome~~ )
-super weapon suprise !!!
--I hope then enhance something better than Ion Cannon for GDI (oh God, no Particle cannon please...), may be something stronger than that.
--Something atleast more fancy than Nuclear missle for NOD, in fact nuclear missle should consider "outdate" in that era (lol antimatter cannon?)

-ultimate unit suprise !
--Mammoth MK2 !!! Maybe, someting better than that ? lol !!! (better looking i means)
--CYBORG COMMANDO!!! My ultimate hero for the game (even it's unfair, and cowardness to use him) Please, enhance him ! Make him better than just a plasma shooter!
--Ghost Stalker, no comment, but his rail gun can be considered
--*** hm...so far totally no idea about the third faction, perhaps mutant hero? But Ghost Stalker himself already mutant...

lol look at This old picture form http://www.cncnz.com, made me recall War of the World. BTW, even that's no confirmation about the relationship btwn this pic and C&C3, but make me feels that the third faction gotta be alien...

the game probly be released in 2007 or 2008 i guess

End of this year or 2007 I presume. Since I know EA likes to make quick bucks. Then withing 6 months, there will be an expansion of it.

i am looking more to something like C&C Renegade 2 using FEAR engine

but i hope c&c3 will be statisfying(put no high hope on it)

yea they did that with recent games like godfather & NFSMW

End of..... 2007? Thats....at least 1 more year to wait..
Gosh....
I love C&C, RA was the first RTS game I played, before Starcraft, and I love the rA series. Generals wasn't bad either, but I don't quite like Tiberian Sun though.
Kinda disappointed, I was hoping for RA3 or Generals 2, sigh.. but nevermind, I love RTS with no production limit! Looking forward to it.

CHEMICAL WARRIOR FTW!!!
i wonder if they still have that... and take away that disc thrower dude... creative but .... quite dumb too lol

at what year?
is it still as popular today as starcraft?

Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars Announced

EA Announces Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars

CHERTSEY, UK - April 20, 2006 - The epic struggle between the Global Defense Initiative (GDI) and The Brotherhood of NOD continues...and the third Tiberium War is about to begin. Welcome back, Commander. Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: ERTS) today announced that Command & ConquerTM, the groundbreaking series that put the Real-time Strategy (RTS) genre on the map, is returning in full force with Command & ConquerTM 3 Tiberium Wars*. This highly-anticipated next chapter takes the popular series back to its roots in the Tiberium universe and features the fast, fluid gameplay that Command & Conquer is known for and a gripping story that will redefine storytelling in RTS games.

It is 2047 and the stakes could not be higher. Tiberium-a self-replicating alien substance that has infected the Earth-is spreading like a radioactive ice age. The GDI, a high-tech alliance of the world's most advanced nations, is fighting to contain Tiberium, but Kane, the megalomaniacal leader of The Brotherhood of NOD has other plans for Earth. Kane's secret society turned superpower is bent on using Tiberium to take control and transform humanity into his twisted vision of the future. All-out war rages over Tiberium and the fate of the planet rests in the balance.

"Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars combines fast-paced gameplay with new ways to tell a story in an RTS game," said Mike Verdu, Executive Producer at EA Los Angeles (EALA). "We're building a next generation Command & Conquer game that is true to the spirit of this classic franchise, but is updated with state-of-the-art visuals, added strategic depth, and gameplay innovations that will move the genre forward. I am very excited to be working on this amazing game."

"We have been waiting to reveal this game for quite some time and are thrilled to bring the series back to where it all began," said Louis Castle, VP of Creative Development at EA Los Angeles (EALA) and co-founder of Westwood Studios, creator of the Command & Conquer series. "The Tiberium universe is a personal favourite of mine, and this saga's new direction will prove to be a worthy addition to one of the most celebrated RTS franchises."

Ha1 Two thousand and seven.

I agree with you, No game has been able to create the intensity of war like DOW can. Relic should be mighty proud of that and shouldnt let the glory go to their head.
DOW has my vote over and over.

EA just dont seem to make RTS games that can stand the test of time. Look at BFME 1, it died after a while and only came back alive because of BFME2. Now, look at BFME 2 its like no one is even considering playing that game when they are at the cafes or anywhere else.


With the standard of RTS games they have realised over the last few years....have a funny feeling that they're gonna screw this up. No offence to the C&C franchise. i do love the game but i have a hunch that the hardcore RTS gamers are gonna find this one a letdown.

Even if this game pulls through and makes it to the CCs, it has to beat that lame ass game, called DOTA which is the most laziest game ever.

What happen to the hardcore RTS gamers....I dont even see starcraft players nowadays in the cafes.



Well, sorry for the rant......Just hoping EA doesnt screw up this one like they did to the rest of the RTS games.

Sorry if i crossed anyone.

DoW got famous because of creativity... CnC got famous because of innovation... they are the few ones who pioneered the so-called 'RTS' genre...

i wasnt talking about the graphics Of course i dont mind it being 3D, in fact i love playing nice looking games.

The point i was making is about the GAMEPLAY. CNC was different, no stupid worker units. It was the only game that worked that way and thats what made it unique.

I hope they bring that back, the absence of worker units, and the whole interface and gameplay.

In the old days there used to be two types of RTS. One was the westwood style, with the build menu on the side, and the other was the Blizzard style, with the menu at teh bottom and the use of worker units. In generals, EA abandoned everything that made CNC unique and went with the Blizzard style gameplay and interface. This is what i meant.

I want the gameplay to stay CNC. And by that i dont mean i want 2D graphics. Play the old CNC games, then play Generals. Note the differences (other than the graphics), and you will get my point.


anyway heres something i found thats interesting... seems to be the intro for the new game, not sure if it was leaked with the images while westwood was still working on it or if its newer than that.

HARHAR! Space Marines Ripoff anyone? Note that trademark huge shoulders XD

Sorry, my advice to all C&C fans, Don't expect too much from EA. Every C&C franchise they've released so far has nothing 'C&C' about it. And I doubt they'll change they gamestyle anytime soon.

I sure darn hope I'm wrong.

mirage tank is my favourite weapon for defense...

anyway, for a map with easy access(without briges or narrow path), i will use soviet and do a Rhino tank rush. very effective in defeating human opponent.

apocalypse tank is too slow for my taste.

Hope they keep their promise~~~

hell yeah...at first glance,i thought it was some warhammer game,what a ripoff


and...i dont like the new GDI insignia
