Do you like the look of Nod in C&C 3?

[Sonic 295]

Feel free to leave your comments in this thread about the current poll on the main page of CNCNZ.com - Do you like the look of Nod in C&C 3?

[Luk3us 63]

They have a subterran war factory! I mean you can't beat that!

[Saracen 16]

Well to be honest the look isn't much different from Westwood's original concept.

 

 

This is a Nod powerplant from Westwood's C&C 3. Now take a look at This Picture that has been released and look for this exact same structure (nothing really changed) in Nod a base... Point proven that EA are using a hell of a lot of the old C&C 3 concepts to stay within Canon.

 

Maybe these are just models put in as placeholders, but one thing is clear. EA seem to be upholding the Westwood legacy. At least for now. :wink:

I hope EA doesn't go too overboard attempting to revive/recycle old Westwood concepts. Times change. Also, it's a pretty cheap way out, and could lead to general inconsistencies.

 

Nod seems pretty lacklustre to me. The flame tank is the only thing that really stands out in the screenshots.

I for one like the look of nod just fine, just as much as O dod in previous versions. I glad we didn't see kane with a glimmery shiny head of metal.

But then again, We saw Kane at the ending of Firestorm, would that be him again? probably?

 

anyhow, I would like a 6th option, that nod looks just as good as they did,

now it's or you totally love it, or you don't seem to like it at all, whatever option you take

GDI is better.

 

 

only unit that is bugging me is the scorpion tank.

 

The name(already used in ZH)and the look dissapionted me :cry:

[rEdaSbLood 1]

more units would be better...the look is pretty good....that picture of a concept for the avatar was really ugly...i really hope they come up with something better than that

The flame tank kinda looks like a roach and believe it or not I really liked the Devil's Tongue from TS.

The Stealth tank I saw in the gameplay video was three tracked like the scorpion tank. Again I prefer the TS version.

I hope the flower-shaped(?) building in the base screenshot isn't the new Temple of Nod...

sorry to say this,but according to cncden.com on the structure list............................yes.

[cnc_sage 0]

NOOOOO!!!1! It was supposed to be scorpion-shaped like the previous two games... wasn't it?.... :?... too small compared to the Hand of Nod... looks more like a "Chapel of Nod" or "Altar of Nod"

The construction yard looks pretty good though.

[Saracen 16]

I'll try and get some official word on that temple, and see the reasons behind the change if it is.

[Sonic 295]

I don't think thats the Temple of Nod. Its to small. I'm just guessing but maybe its Nod's Tech Center?

[Luk3us 63]

Yeah, it doesn't look "important" enough to be the temple.

[ORCaLoVeR 0]

Yeah,the Nod tech centre always looked small.its probaly the tech centr.

agreed, this doesnt look as the original Temple of Nod

[BWare 0]

Oh man I hope not. It should look like an ominous, evil, bizarro world cathedral!

[Luk3us 63]

Well that wouldn't be a bad thing would it? I mean churches in C&C = money. hahaha...

[CnCBacano 0]

Well IMO some of units/structures need a design change.

 

Talking about structures, i just dont like the Hand of Nod at all (with candles outside :? ).

 

The war factory is awesome , and pretty same to all other buildings.

(Maybe because the most design is from Westhood. Look at the Power Plant , they just copied it )

 

The infantry is what it is. I just hope that the Pro soldiers like TS ones are avaiable too.

 

The vehicles are great except the design of the Scorpion Tank.

 

EALA is doing a great job IMO. :wink:

[sith_wampa 6]

I think that the flame tank has never looked better. The fire's visual effects are amazing. I was concerned when i saw that in the beginning of the second gameplay video nod attacked and destroyed a gdi power plant with two light vehicles that fired a stream of rockets. All i could think of was WTF?!?! Y ROCKET BUGGY?!?! NO NO NO! GENERALS BAD!!! Please tell me that nod doesn't have a rocket buggy, i HATED those in generals.

[CnCBacano 0]

The vehicles that you say are Sthealth Tanks , not rocket buggies

[Luk3us 63]

Yeah they were steath tanks. But they look more like crappy rocket buggies.

 

And how lame is the fact that Orca's have the ability to pulse for enemy steath units? Pah...

That is good,otherwise GDI can never send any units ahead,without knowing for sure,that the area is full of stanks.you gotta hev something to counter it.

 

i hope they gonna give the orca a machine gun,just like it is showed in its pics,i dint saw any machine gun fire in the trailer :cry:

[BWare 0]

i dint saw any machine gun fire in the trailer :cry:

So... you "dnt saw any machine gun fire"? I hate to revive the grammar nazi, but geez dude... :shock:

[Luk3us 63]

GDI have those sensory array things they can use. Just seems lame giving that ability to the Orcas also.

From what I've seen of the NOD building designs I'm in two minds.

 

They look great and they've reverted to the original Hand of NOD concept from C&C, I really hated the "fallen glove" design that it had in TS. I also like the "subterranean" concept too, it feels far more like what they were trying to achieve in TS.

 

On the other hand it feels like they're going too far in regards of the "insect" feel. In the C&C and TS the only structure that was "insectified" was the Temple of NOD, this made the structure significant and made it feel expensive and powerful when you witnessed one.

 

The Flame Tank looks awesome though!
