Almost 50% of the way through the Saga, place your bets!

[Saracen 16]

The Tiberian Saga still has some way to go. With the Scrin only just about to be introduced into this war. The game is far from over. GDI has had a habit (in the last 2 games at least) of winning, but not exactly saving the day by any means.

 

Question is, at the end of the 6th or 7th Tiberian War when the Saga does finally come to an end, who will be the victor?

 

• Will it be GDI, who takes the fight to all that opposes them and the fate of Earth. The Scrin Destroyed, Nod history, and Kane and his clones all hung drawn and quartered. The earth will slowly find it's way back to normal, and all will be peachy.

 

[*] Nod, and Kane, who will damn well enjoy every moment of finally having world domination. With 100% of the earth's remaining population on his side, he will forge alliances with the Scrin, use them, and then destroy them for his own personal gain. Evil Triumphed, and Earth reaches its new stage of Evolution!

 

[*] The Scrin having sent Tiberium to Earth it finally kills every human. Destroys GDI easily, then goes on to ally with Nod with the same vision, only to kill every last one of them including Kane. The planet is no longer Earth, it's the new Scrin Homeworld and they're all happy with the result!

 

[*] Some other faction. Just when you thought 2 was company and 3 is a crowd. A 4th or even 5th Faction becomes involved. (Note to EA, this is not a good idea, keep the 6 faction concept in BfME2 where it belongs).... And wins the day by their own rules.

 

[*]Who cares. With this Saga already taking 11 years now to reach a 3rd game, how long before the Tiberian Wars are over? Another 10, 15 years? Why not just end the thing on one big almighty apocolypse and have done.

 

Discussion and decision Here please.

Scrin all the way. They're able to cause destruction and chaos on an incredible level with a simple meteor. If they DON'T win, it will be a discredit to the series (unless there's a VERY good explanation).

[Luk3us 63]

All factions get absouletly hammered into the ground. With no clear advantage for anyone one, the next 20 odd years is just countless skirmishes with no end in sight. And so it goes on. Till the next game.

Even tho i am a huge GDI fan (i loved the mammoth tank when i was little) i think the "good guys win, bad guys lose" cleshay (yea i know i cant spell) has been too over used, i would like to seee maybe NOD win and the human race evolving into a more powerful being capable of defending our portion of space from the scrin and such, maybe even killing the scrin and taking over their planet as well..

[Doctor Destiny 41]

The end will be the Four Horsemen. That's the only cool way to end the saga.

[ORCaLoVeR 0]

GDI FTW!!!

 

 

but knowing EA,the game will end showing GDI and NoD as allies figthing against some third faction.and at the end,the race of human kind evolved in kane his vision,but remains a democracy like GDI has in its blue zones.

 

 

 

to early to tell now :wink:

[rEdaSbLood 1]

i hated wen gdi and nod allied against cabal...NO MORE!

[Cygnus X-1 12]

The Forgotten will rise...humans will fall....the Scrin will dominate....

 

but of course, you cant just wipe out 7 billion people, and the survivors fo the Forgotten will hold out and with Nod/GDI tech stage a full scale war that may eventually bring us to the Scrin homeplanet....

 

Man, I can just see that. GDI gets Earth back (or maybe doest...theres an interesting concept) and then takes the fight to the Scrin.

[Luk3us 63]

lol.. You really are obsessed with the forgotten...

 

Things that would be funny? EA forgetting the forgotten.

knowing EA................. 8)

 

 

Or the game doesnt end at all,EA messes up,and puts C&C back in the freezer

[Guest Rabbit]

In all honesty, I don't know how they can make GDI win without making it an awkward ending.

 

But... if you think about it...

 

When you play the game, aren't you playing AS GDI or Nod? How the hell would they win, if the point is for you to defeat someone?

 

If you play as the GDI disk, GDI wins. You play as the Nod disk, and Nod wins.

 

 

 

Oh... oops, did I ruin your fun? Uhh.... hmm... quick! Four horsemen! Ahh!

[comander starlin 6]

I agree with John Travolta on this one, why cant any one make a story that goes against the tredisions of hollywood, let the bad guys win or just have one insane appocaliptic war. only EA has that fate in there hands

[Cygnus X-1 12]

So GDI gets wipped, Nod and the Scrin are going at it with GDI remnants and Forgotten troops mixing it up all over the place. Pick 5, and win! :wink:

 

An evil appocalyptic ending would be rather cool. but not for another 3 games down the road or so (at the very least)

[Alphabear 11]

Even though the Scrin are highly advanced i think they will still have a hard time against GDI and Nod.

 

The Scrin are likely to base their invasion in the heavily infected zones which will roughly place Nod between the Scrin and GDI. Nod wont be able to hold off the Scrin while launching their assault on GDI and will end up having to retreat back underground and fight from there. From there the Scrin are will move on towards GDI positions in blue zones but will meet the mobilized GDI force that was pushing back Nods advance. From their underground tunnels and bases, Nod will be able to continue the fight against the Scrin occupation of the Yellow Zones (history shows us how effective this can be) using the skills they have developed over the last 50 years. With the Scrin unable to maintain control over their captured territory their organization will suffer and they will be unable to focus their forces on GDI positions allowing GDI to hold off for a while giving both GDI and Nod time to find a way to level the scores against the Scrin.

 

From there who knows.

[Cygnus X-1 12]

Keep in mind with the Scrin being spaceborne, their invasion will nulify most of GDI's air supperiority and thus the vast majority of GDI's mobility. Ouch time.

[Alphabear 11]

They are still going to want to advance out from secure sites on the ground though. an airborne invasion is a risky manouver and usually comes with heavy losses.

[Luk3us 63]

Well since they are space aliens wouldn't it make sense if they departed from ships in orbit as opposed to making themselves more vunerable on the ground? More so staying far enough away as to not risk being attacked.

[Alphabear 11]

But they wouldnt want to risk their big shiny intergalactic transport ships. of course they will have combat ships as well but deploying their forces in secure locations and then providing support from their larger ships is a better option. Especially dealing with dug in resistance.

[Cygnus X-1 12]

True, but being the SW fanatic that I am, I have read about and participated in about a million planetary invasions (virtual, of course). The first thing to do is wipe out any space navy, then airforce, to ensure your own air superiority. And with their technology comming across the galaxy, I think they will be more advanced that either GDI or Nod's airpower. And GDI's Ion Cannons wont last one day against the scrin.

[Luk3us 63]

I wouldn't rite off GDI and Nod just yet. They're been playing with tiberian for a long while now. Assuming the Scrin are tiberian based creatures or something similiar. I'm sure GDI and Nod can figure a way out of dealing with the Scrin...

 

That is of course after they both get utterly slaughtered. But still.

[Saracen 16]

No doubt Nod will go on a crusade to attempt to knock the Scrin Mothership. just like they did with GDI's Philadelphia space station... But that almost seems too simple, maybe their mothership will be cloaked and have shields that'll withstand nuclear attack. zOMG! Echoes of Independence day!! :shock:

 

And GDI's Ion Cannons wont last one day against the scrin.

 

I've heard rumour that the Ion cannon gets destroyed during the Scrin's arrival. One mission aparently will include stealing Nod technology so that'll allow the new Ion Cannon (see concepts) to be launched and cloaked from the Scrin until firing.

 

The Scrin will be very similar to the Zerg of Starcraft. And in some ways I'm guessing they could almost be a direct clone. But we'll see if and when they decide to announce the 3rd side. Which will probably be Christmas at this rate :roll:

[Luk3us 63]

The impression I got from concepts is that the Scrin are far superior to that of Nod and GDI. The Zerg were the "lowest" out of the two species in SC.

 

So I'd think that the Scrin would more likely have more powerful/slow/expesnsive units... As oppossed to huge overwhemling forces.. But they might get that too and really kick ass!

[LawyerNinja 0]

wasn't Kane sent down from the Scrin to prep the Earth for the arrival of the Scrin? so isn't NOD on there side

 

(probably wrong)

 

NOD FTW

That is a theory.

[Cygnus X-1 12]

@ King - stealthled Ion Cannon? That can possibly be used against orbital ships?

 

Now I'm excited.
