Theories

I heard there was a secret end in TS if you destroy the pyramid last with an ion cannon.

The events weren't exactly the same, there were small changes, like the mission were Nod needs to capture the brother of the GDI commander. In GDI game, the guy died.

can I have a description of the final Nod cutscene ?

Final Nod cutscene- McNeil is in a Nod spaceship of some kind, the prisoner of Slavick. Watching the Philadelphia from a window, Slavick says "peaceful? Isn't it?" and McNeil is forced to watch the station get blown to bits by 3 huge missiles. It then cuts to Kane adressing the world and declaring victory, and he talks about a glorious Tiberian future. It then cuts to him in front of a huge missile silo, and as the Tiberian ICBM begins to launch he stretches his arms out (like the C&C ending) and flashes and disappears. It then shows the missile leaving the atmosphere, and it breakas appart, shooting off smaller rockets, and the main "warhead" opens up, and it is a brilliantly gloiwng green thing. It then shows a giant explosion on the earth's surface, and a massive shockwave moves around the planet. It then shows the earth completely tinted green with most continents glowing green, and it fades out. Pretty cool apocalyptic ending.

Note- That McNeil is Jake McNeil, the younger brother of the GDI commander, Michael McNeil. He dies if you play with GDI.

Naa that was for the orignal.

The end of the Tiberium series and the future of it depend entirely on who wins Tiberian Sun.

 

GDI wins, you get FireStorm.

Nod wins, you get something new.

[Luk3us 63]

You do know that Firestrom is an Offical expansion. Which means that the story starts again after firestorm.

 

We already know who wins TS. That was GDI. Simple.

Nod wins, you get something new.

Nod wins and it's game over, dude. That's it. GDI definitely won.

 

...I have a story in the works that takes place after the Nod TS ending, by the way :wink:

Not true. Something new happens but we don't know for sure. The Scrin or the Mutants arise as new threats or allies.

 

Coincidentally, so do I.

I disagree.... if the earth turns completely Tiberian like that, there won't BE any mutants, or humans for that matter (for very long). Mutants are just freak transitional stages between human life and Tiberian life compatible with the Scrin. In this scenario, the Scrin have already won! There is no more contest. What kind of actual conflict could arise from such a scenario?

[Luk3us 63]

I don't understand why you guys are still arugin about who won at the end of TS. Firestorm had that obvious..

 

Besides if Nod did win like Bware said it'll just be a freak zone. So obviously Nod lost.

Unlike starcraft, westwood games always make bad guys lost. However for TS:Firestorm, both sides actually win. GDI get the tacitus and General slavik unified the fractured NOD.

[Luk3us 63]

Exactly. :wink:

I hated how RA2 led on from an Allied victory. There should have been when you played as Allies, you played following a Soviet victory (so that your launching a major offensive) and when you played as Soviets, you were playing following an Allied victory (so you could cast off the chains of the capitalist dogs.). Much better.

What I like in CNC games is, if I play isolated, I can play in either sides and I'll see two storylines. In starcraft, I need to play in order to see one story.

Both have their advantages. For CnC, there is no countinuing storyline for the bad guys NOD unless they make it like the one in Firestorm. In TS, NOD win, earth turn into a tiberian world and the storyline end. Starcraft have a much complicated storyline compare to CNC, so it is really hard for them to have different ending.

You're going too far ahead of yourselves with the Nod/Tiberium ending. I'm basing my theory around FireStorm never occurring and GDI coming back from the ashes to defeat Nod and clean the planet.

[Publix666 0]

what i think they just need to do is remake C&C95 or atleast put it back out..make it compatible for XP and maybe do a lil work on like graphics or something..me and my dad have always hoped they would rerelease C&C95 for XP but they havent done it yet..like make it a collectors edition thing or something since C&C95 is where everything began, like a tribute to the begining or somehting..i dunno...it a great dream

[Doctor Destiny 41]

C&C95 works fine in XP. :|

...back from the ashes? how the heck do you do that? before the Nod ending, the situation is already that the earth will be completely toxic in just a couple years... Kane's Tiberium ICBM thing excellerates this dramatically, making the earth COMPLETELY unlivable- pretty much an impossibility to "clean up," especially if the Scrin show up with a clear advantage. As I said, the Nod ending is game over for both GDI and mankind (Nod too by the way!)- an apocalyptic finale with no hope. That was its intention, anyway. Everyone is dead! No more story!

[Malebranche 0]

Not exactly dead, they will evolve to a tiberium life-form. But there will be no GDI or Nod as we know.

What do you mean by that ? GDI was competely gone. Its command center was destroyed with almost all its greatest military commander and scientists killed. The atmosphere in the earth is 100% toxic to human. Even there is some survivor, they will unlikely form a powerful resistence against NOD. Unless, there is a secret colony or military base on the moon .

 

How do you clean the planet with almost all of the people living on earth evolve into a new kind of lifeform.

I need to play through Tiberian Sun again then. I'm taking a creative liberty here too.

Yeah, I just watched the videos (XCC player), and the implication is definitely that the earth is done for. No more humans. The only possibility is a Scrin vs Scrin conflict... which would suck horribly.

[Cygnus X-1 12]

Thats saying EA even puts the Scrin into TT. But for story, GDI ending FS is GDI lost command center but still has Tacitus and bulk of military forces. Nod is broken and destroyed, along with Cabal. The only possible continue for GDI is Scrin arrive or Forgotten rise up in revolt. Because GDI has Tacitus, they begin to reverse the Tiberium poisoning. The Nod ending in FS would be that GDI has no central command, and currently is local commanders have whatevers close to them and their on their own. Slavic has brought a stronger Nod together under one leader, and poised to destroy GDI, while Cabal is in hiding with his clone of Kane and other people(who?). The Forgotten are without a leader, but grow larger every day, the civilian population dwindles, tiberium lifeform are mutating and growing out of control, and the Scrin are watching, maybe even already on their way to Earth. Kane, under Cabal control, will probably come back, only Slavic wont trust him, and will take over GDI command to destroy Kane and take back Nod because Kan will have told Nod to bow down to Cabal and the Scrin. Maybe Cabal will rebel against the Scrin because they sent him to Earth to prepare for them, now they are here, now they dont need him so they will shut him down, but he wont like that. Mutants will fight everyone too. (how many different campaigns will that be!?)

in my opinion about C&C history:

 

- Red Alert: If you win with allies, then comes RA2 and so on; if you win with soviets, story goes to TD

-Tiberian Dawn: GDI wins, kane is believed to be dead, goes to TS.

-Tiberain Sun: GDI wins, they get the Tacitus (or whatever it is spelled).

-TS firestorm: If GDi WIns: They finally discover the secrets of the Tacitus

if NOd wins: NOD is back to be a brotherhood... rejoined. The part of Kabal/kane is not 100% clear.

 

I think both FS endings happens, and perhaps the scrins will be a Third side, making the Nod and GDI become allies later in the game...

 

P.D.: In Nod's Ending of TS, The Mcneil prisioner is the commander, not the young brother.
