Oh god. As much as they deserve the licence, this is a perfect excus for the hardliner westwoodians to begin the ravings about how Petroglyph are better etc, etc... At least if they do this, we can throw Generals - Red Alert 3/C&C 4 into Discontinuity.

How many rockets does that thing shoot?!?! It seems C&C 4 is headed for a Macross Missile Massacare.

Actually, it's a bad thing *Points at C&C 3*. Well lets hope it is. Otherwise it might as well be the MMII's front mounted chaingun.

Goshdarnittoheck EA! - My main gripe for the design - it has a chaingun IT DOESN'T USE?!?! - The reason for my response above - when will we see Nod go up? At the minuite this all looks heavily GDI biased.

Aww, i feel sorry for the poor Cyborg.

Ugh, our perceptions of designing power armour. That has to be really painful for the "pilot". (i know they're meant to be Cyborgs, but with the scale, the messy design and all, its hard to tell.)

You got a picture of him. Or am I tempted to think *Insert Nod Engineer here*.

Or to put it another way - the Nod design department suck almost or as much as Sam Bass does.

I think that sums up the solution case and point. The evidence is clearly there in C&C 3.

Well with Tiberium, Nod were only included because of fan pressure, so the information would have been released as the product continued on. Personally, it seems EA hate Nod with a passion - and ironically hate something like half, maybe three quaters of the Tiberiumverse Fanbase.

We're sensing a theme here...

Re: Burrowed Units To my knowlege, if its digging a hole and hiding, unless mine drops count i think only the Zerg do this. As for tunneling, only the Zerg Infestor, the Nod Subterrainan APC, and some unit from Dark Reign do this. Otherwise its something i don't see often. Re: Engineer Someone was clearly smoking something when they designed it - and no, i don't want it. Expect the other Nod Cyborg Troopers to have equally ugly designs. Re: Crawlers I agree, they really got lazy with the deployment system here.

The Roadie?

GLA referance. Something tells me EA won't go for this one, but i guess it works.

I see. I guess it does look kinda daddy-ish, with the hunched over back and massive drill (don't read too deeply into that!). Where TT got voted as the name because virtually every fan sent that in as a entry?

And the Uprising Desolator didn't?

Which makes me wonder why they're doing the same gimmick for C&C 4. I reckon they COULD have finished the RA3 ones, but updates were virtually non existant over the RA3 Beta period. Yes, Capital Ships. Well, that pretty much covers Epic Units.

Well it seems EA learned from their "Tiberian Twilight" hiccup

That, or we have a result like the "Tiberian Twilight" contest.

Personally, i think the only one f that list they'd pick (if they picked it) would be Forgotten Fiend. Which would be humourus as they've forgotten tiberium flora and fauna!

Ah. Point is, all these "name that..." competitions are turning out pointless. It would surprise me if they didn't pick "Forgotten Gorilla" as the unit name. Soon, the whole community gets early entry to C&C 4 Beta!

Shortbus?

Ditto. When will the Dev's learn? And i'd be surprised if the Forgotten Bus isn't named either the "Forgotten Bus" or the "Battle Bus".

It would still be awesome... Still, i either think itt'l be something like a early Beta entry, a actual Beta ticket (if you didn't get Premier Edition RA3), a preordered copy of C&C 4 or a T Shirt. Thats all EA seem to hand out really. Oh, and: Bask in its awesome...
