C&C 3 - hazardous

[Out2kill 0]

i like the harvester, maybe would be cool if you could upgrade it to hover and hold more tiberium that way you dont have to spend so much building more..

 

....

 

Dude, we're not talking about upgrading hardware here. "Bigger capacity" would NOT be a feature for these things. Everything is done for the sake of balance in the game. Hell, they COULD have allowed the old harvesters to hold 900,000 credits a piece. Holy cow......

 

I meant it as an alternative to building more harvesters, like on the movie dune, where the harvester collects a **** load of spice and then brings it back....

[Cygnus X-1 12]

Ah but this isnt Dune....

 

The Harvesters in the TD cutscenes were exactly like the ones ingame, I really dont see how these are "closer" to those. :?

 

 

I agree with whoever said Nod should have a different harvester, however Tiberium does not "decay" (seriously, havent y'all played TD and TS?) even if it is "organic" (by deffinition, its not) it does not decay, at least in any fasion that we have obsevered os of yet.

 

But seriously, the way this is shaping up, its looking more like the series goes TD-TW-TS from a graphical (content) standpoint. From the storyline, it goes TD-TS-TW.....but man, doesnt anybody besides myself and BWare remember the devestation in FS? Theres no way in hell that what they are doing now reflects that in any manner. And none of this "Tacitus reversal" BS. If they are reversing it, how come they only have 80 years? In FS it looked like we had about 5 years, no more. Then suddenly BOOM now we have 80, + the 17 between the games. Im begining to wonder here.......oh, and Kane wont be happy at all.

Well said. And whoever said where Nod is, EA doesn't want to reveal that, much like the Scrin side.

 

Now for the screenie, it looks great. Except the tiberium + harvester look like crap.

[Cygnus X-1 12]

Thanks

 

I am wondering though, King seems to be of the opinion that the storyline will go forward as WW had planned it, so perhaps in the sequel to TW we will get TT and the post FS world as we all want it?

 

I'd still rather not wait that long though.

[BWare 0]

I think we're all in agreement here :wink:

[Cygnus X-1 12]

I should hope so. But with EA's current confidence, Im sure they have all kinds of stuff up their sleeves. And while the GDI Halo buggies arent very impressive, EA has yet to unviel Nod or the Scrin....

 

Somehow I get the feeling that they wont tell us anything about the Scrin until the game is out Maybe not even then, maybe they'll make us play through it all to find out. Man that would be so cool.

[rEdaSbLood 1]

im thinkin that the tiberium died down a bit since Kane has been gone...you know? itsa possibility...then when he comes back the tiberium situation goes into overdrive again?...

[Cygnus X-1 12]

Maybe....but the way I see it, he was gone all between TD and TS, yet the change from TD to TS in terms of Tiberium infestation was huge. Then from TS to FS (after Kane was "gone" again, and Cabal dismantled) we saw another huge leap. BUt I am hoping (as twisted as this may sound) that the Tacitus and most if not all of the tranlatory files are on the Philedelphia when Kane declares and early New Years Party

 

Cause that would mean in the expansion pack, what with GDI being beat up by Nod, the arrival of the Scrin, and hopefully a lot of action from the Forgotten, we see Tiberium start back on its rampage of FS-esque proportions.

Remember C&C 3 is starting a lot from TD and not TS...

[Cygnus X-1 12]

I dont even know what you are trying to say. EA said that they want TW to feel a lot like TD. The game isnt pickup up where TD left off, its picking up 17 years after FS.

 

The gameplay style shouldnt affect the storyline, but so far, its looking like it will. The game does, in a way, look like TD +15 years in sage.

[TheBlackOut 7]

I do not know what I was trying to say either... Eh, blonde moment...

[rEdaSbLood 1]

maybe the scientists who reported the condition of the earth miscalculated...or were simply melodramatic

 

that whole idea about the tacitus info being on the Philly isa good point...maybe since FS that info has helped deter Tiberium, or maybe its just the presence of the tacitus that deters tiberium...and in the beginning of TW when the Philly gets blown either the lost info or the tacitus itself being destroyed starts the tiberium reign once more?

[Luk3us 63]

or were simply melodramatic

 

No! Never!!

The present of something deterates tiberium? Please. Tiberium is something of its own, it'll spread and spread, just because something is here or isn't won't stop it. Now the information they use from the tacitus could help.

[rEdaSbLood 1]

buddy lets start my rebuttal to your rebuttal with a quote "the possibilities are limitless"-dr. mobius on tiberium

 

its not impossible for the presence of the tacitus to hinder tiberium growth... 8) :roll:

[Luk3us 63]

It seems unlikey as Kane used the tacticus and its not as though he'd want tiberian growth to slow...

[Sonic 296]

We are forgetting a 7 year gap (in real world time here) between TS and C&C3 so EA have to make this appeal to those people who haven't played the original C&C or TibSun.

So? You can't squeeze your loyal fans out of the picture either though... But all this generation of gamers care about is graphics.. So make a good storyline and gameplay(For the loyal followers) and the awesome graphics. (For the n00bs and stuff, it just adds to the greatness of the game for us.)

[Cygnus X-1 12]

Thats what they are trying to do.

 

The Tacitus itself does not hinder or help the growth of Tiberium, its hte information inside. Now since Kane/Cabal was using some of this info, its safe to assume that one/both have some Scrin in their history, if not origin. As for GDI...sux to be them when the Tactitus onboard the Philly gets nuked out of space

[rEdaSbLood 1]

i think you are all missing my point...i dont think its that unlikely for CnC3's story to make sense logically...

 

how bout this..we all make up a way that cnc3 could make sense story-wise

[Cygnus X-1 12]

Yeah, except that EA already did that? :roll:

 

It makes sense, I think most/some of us (myself and BWare up at the top of that list) really wanted to see TW go the way of FS and totally trash the planet. However, we may be seeing this in the expansion/next title. But it makes sense. A bit weird, but it does work.

[Luk3us 63]

To be fair, if earth goes the way of the doodo, then that kidna ends teh series. Unless they go all weird, and decide to have humanity have some last ditch effort to get off the planet. Which would be a rip-off of many another game....

 

And ending the series is not an option. Well it was a few months ago but not now, C&C will surive into the 22nd century.

[Cygnus X-1 12]

Yes, but we would have still had the Scrin to deal with, and how easy do you think its going to be to just "wipe" Nod and hte Forgotten off the map? I imagine GDI will have its own pockets of heavy resistance ect.

[Out2kill 0]

I am still looking at a alliance between nod and gdi to fight off the scrin. They are obviously going to be more advanced than us (they're aliens) but we have the will to survive..

[Cygnus X-1 12]

Too cliche'd Besides, GDI and Nod just ended FS with an alliance (temporary) to stave off Cabal. Plus Nod starts off TW by blowing the Philly out of the sky and the return of Kane. I dont think GDI will ally with them after that. Plus theres the Forgotten to consider
