[Spoilers] The fate of CABAL
Seems EA decided to kill CABAL off decoded in the string code, I've updated the Wikipedia. For those that don't believe me:
'"One of the more unusual chapters of the second Tiberium War came to an explosive close yesterday as the GDI Corps of Engineers detonated what is believed to be the last remaining Cabal Bunker - the tube-filled underground lairs from which the rogue artificial intelligence waged brief war upon humanity. Contacted for comment, retired war hero and former head of the Bureau of Mutant Affairs, Gen Paul Cortez, lauded for his role in Cabal's defeat, dismissed his fallen foe as "...a second-rate EVA with a goatee and a Napoleon complex." Cortez also claimed to have refused a GDI invitation to attend the detonation ceremony, citing his opposition to the current leadership's controversial Tiberium containment policy and "weak kneed" approach to the Brotherhood of Nod. Rumors that this particular bunker displayed evidence of human or humanoid life forms in suspension capsules were quickly dismissed by GDI spokesperson Arlene Shepherd..."'
Let's all give a good one minute silence for our good old cybernetic buddy, killed off in the most inhumane way- off screen. I sure will _________________ Last edited by Elerium-155 on Sat Mar 03, 2007 1:42 pm; edited 2 times in total QUICK_EDIT

Wahey for killing off the best character in the Tiberium universe. CABAL was awesome, more so than Kane.
He also didn't have a Goatee, if they'd started FS for six seconds they'd know that. Yay for dismissing the entire expansion's storyline completely and ruining an epic storyline possibility. Sure they could say it wasn't the last one and actually had no human organisms in tubes or other such crap..
But when they show a lack of even basic knowledge of CABAL (Hell they don't even know what he looks like) I can't imagine they'd pull it off well or in a fashion that'd match CABAL's past outing.
They'd probably even add the goatee to pretend they didn't make a mistake. QUICK_EDIT
man, I'm hideously angry now. Just as if they had actually writen down why Tacitus didn't work, by writing that it got exploded in some point by a dummy battery problem in the cooling systems
And I thought that the chamber was located in the underground parts of a Nod temple, at least, that's the image I got from the last video clip... _________________ QUICK_EDIT

Oh my god. Seriously, you guys are upset that CABAL is gone? Tiberium Odysee killed him off, Westwood probably would have, too, yet big scary bad EA comes and kills him and you guys get more upset then the radicals in the Middle East did over a stupid cartoon.

CABAL
Although nowhere near a world power,ever since the destruction of CABAL,cybernetic units
that were not destroyed seemed to be carrying out final directives.The threat of CABAL units however
has become very real.Somewhere the cyborgs have set up small production bases.They have
created handfuls of attack units and also devolped more advanced units.These new units
are now fully robotic with no need for a human to base off.Even though CABAL forces are
very low in numbers they can still easily outperform other combat units of GDI and Nod.
After a very lucky incident we manged to retreive a heavily damaged cyborg and examine it.
We found a small peice of data,even though damaged,it seemed of great importance.
Prim Or+ er
Regroup with all cybernetic units within 5 square miles.
Procceed with orders from online sources....
Thats all we have,we believe CABAL is not defeated.It appears there are 3 sites,1 knocked out
but the others running perfectly well.We beileve these to be CABAL cores.
...'kay? Unless you have access to an updated story of course?
CABAL was an awesome character, just because you don't give a shit about who stays or goes or what is changed in the story doesn't mean we are all like you. Go play with some mudkips or something and leave these topics alone please. QUICK_EDIT

I bet they won't even explain where Kane's body went between the end of FS and the time GDI had found the CABAL bunker. If it were, they'd obviously have found it.

WW didn't explain what happened to Kane's body between TS and FS either, so that's a non-issue really. _________________

It's not our problem if you can't handle the fact that TS fanboys exist. >_> _________________

I dont care if they exist, I just with they'd come down to earth and see that Tiberian Sun is not Westwood's great gift, and that Tiberium Wars is some sort of sacreligious evil. Tiberian Sun is cheesy, its a slow paced game that lacks any tactics other then 'BUILD TITAN 20 TIMES' or wait for a cluster missile. _________________ PPM's Reichstrollfuherer, 236th Trollenparties brigade.

For all of your information, mainly Desu's TO never said anything about cutting CABAL, if anything we have done nothing but try to include him more, which is what we are doing.
I think it's a shame they cut CABAL off, some of the concepts from sites I have seen looked interesting and the way FS ended left it open to include CABAL heavily, especially with Kane.
Also its not a matter of whats popular in a game, the fact is CABAL "was" included, if EA don't like him they should at least try and fufill the challenge of including him the game somehow, and I don't think it would be that hard for them, they already have part of the story done for them by FS. _________________ QUICK_EDIT

Holy shit I am shocked I didnt get flamed to death. Anyhow, I just think CABAL was a silly idea...An evil AI that can think for itself. Thats almost as weird as a paedophile looking Russian who can mind-control tanks.
But ztyping gold mine of lulz, one must admit. _________________ PPM's Reichstrollfuherer, 236th Trollenparties brigade. QUICK_EDIT

You need to realise of course, every game ever created is jam packed with retarded ideas. CABAL was a badass who damn near raped both GDI and Nod. Nod and Kane couldn't even put a dent in GDI - they fail in comparison. QUICK_EDIT

Using that logic, I suppose fighting the Germans in Call of Duty is just absurd? a simulator of Pong is totally batshit, no? Not every game out there is 'jam packed with retarded ideas.' _________________ PPM's Reichstrollfuherer, 236th Trollenparties brigade. QUICK_EDIT
