The interface has gone through a major evolution as well. These secondary – or even tertiary – objectives added an extra challenge, indicating that a commander would never actually beat a mission unless he or she completed all the extra objectives along the way. Also interesting were the bonus objectives in each mission. It really added to the environment of the game, and the separate play styles of each campaign added a replay value. This added a great deal of tension to a terrorist organization – blow up this building before GDI comes crashing down upon you, and the like. Nod’s missions were frantic and were commonly based on a timer of some sort, mandating that you’d beat a mission in ten minutes or so. The campaigns themselves played very well, but for GDI it was a bit tutorial-heavy. Of course, it wouldn’t be Command & Conquer without the permanent antagonist Kane, played by Joe Kucan. There’s over 70 minutes of classic full-motion video to watch and enjoy, with a star-studded cast such as Michael Ironside (Starship Troopers, Scanners, Total Recall), Jennifer Morrison (House, M.D.), Josh Halloway (Lost), and the ever venerable Billy Dee Williams (Star Wars). The single player was entertaining, to say the least.
In our preview, we were given a taste of the single player campaign and a meatier chunk of the multiplayer. GDI, lulled into a false sense of security, closing many of the main strongholds and reverting to "lesser" technologies than those found in the prequel – Tiberian Sun, is taken aback by these attacks and is now found in dire straits trying to fend off the savage ambushes and raids. Kane makes a surprise resurrection by mysterious means and the Brotherhood of Nod goes into a frenzy, committing terrorist surprise attacks against Blue Zone strongholds of the GDI. The final areas of the planet – red zones – are completely uninhabitable by any type of life. These yellow zones are war-torn grottos and ruins, controlled by the elusive, devious, and all around not-very-nice Brotherhood of Nod. Yellow zones are hazardous to human health, yet are comprised of the greatest population concentrations worldwide. Blue zones are virtually untouched by the strange mineral, and are zealously guarded by the UN-founded Global Defense Initiative – the good guys. The planet is now divided into three types of "zones".
The omnipotent alien resource – which you will invariably collect by the truckload – known as Tiberium has evolved into an inorganic, all-absorbing mineral that has ravaged the earth. Kane is dead (or so we think), and the world is at a relative peace. Tiberium Wars takes place a decade or so after the events that transpired in Tiberian Sun. Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars Recon (PC) By Ryan StepalavichĬoming off of the shoulders of Command & Conquer: Generals, Electronic Arts has found that it’s time to go back to the roots of the almighty Command & Conquer franchise, soon to release the next RTS in the "Tiberian" line, known as Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars.
