I like End of Nations too but that's a pretty odd post, not gonna lie.

This has nothing to do with CnC at all. This is End of Nations by Petro, not anything CnC by either Westwood or EA.

All in all uninspiring icons.

But IMO the "DNA" of this game does resonate more with C&C games that people mod around here, than say Starcraft or Dawn of War etc.

Visuality, people. Visuality. Graphical designs of vehicles.

And why wouldn't people be interested in the old C&C in a C&C community? We are free to be interested in anything, even the old C&C. I'd say the majority of mods in this forum are interested in the old aswell as new (not exclusively, naturally).

Pepzi, for the last time, quit bugging me on MSN about ANYTHING related to Westwood's grand fiction EVER. I'm sick and tired of Kane's "mysterious past" as the under-paid whore of Scrin, how the alien rebels fled to Earth after they had stole a hotdog booth from the Martians, or whatever trippy stories Westwood came up when they were high. I simply don't give a damn about their ridiculous attempt of binding the games together, they failed at it miserably. I was glad when these things were still shrouded in mystery, when we could still make up whatever explanations we wanted (that were a hundred times better than the official ones); now I can't but vomit when I hear of the x-men mutants.

Honestly, I've been tempted to block you just for starting these convos. I'm willing to discuss with you about anything else but this.

Also, Petroglyph =/= Westwood. End of line.

Poor Crim lol

I have been thinking, deriving ideas from C&C games, Universe at War (the same minds as C&C), and other sources. Here are my theories:

What does the Nod Scorpion symbolize?

Besides from Nod's combat doctrine, there atleast two other things:

1. It has been said that the Scorpion has changed very little in 400 million years, it's a pinnacle of it's evolution, the perfect killer. That would describe Kane aswell. Kane also fits Nietzsche's description of "überman" that humanity should strive towards, according to him. Kane is Caïn, the murderer.

2. It could also symbolize his personal "crucifixion" of sorts. I will elaborate more on that.

Ancient human DNA was sampled to reverse engineer with the knowledge from alien DNA to create advanced humans. This was done by a highly evolved and advanced human-like aliens

The following is an excerpt from Universe at War Wikipedia:

"The Masari are a race of human-like aliens that have control over the properties of light & darkness.There technology level is eons ahead of any of the races even of the Hierarchy being able to manipulate energy and matter with mere thought. They were once Gods of both The Hierarchy and the humans, but when tensions collided with the Hierarchy, they were nearly forced into extinction, but one city ship was able to escape to Earth. Here they met humanity in it's infant stages and nurtured them into a civilization of different cultures. "

I think this could fit very well in C&C if worked around a bit. I think for example that Kane had X-men like abilities and became power hungry, and used his abilities to kill his brother who sacrificed the best of his flock to the LORD. Kane held the view that the culling of the weak was of the essence. Abels blood was avenged by punishing Kane in the way that he got injected with a needle instrument containing corrupting serum, that would disrupt his innate abilities, effectively stripping him of them. His unlimited life longevity was unaffected, but he was still left vulnerable to death through killing or accidents. Therefore the term "holy blood" has a new meaning. There is vampire game series that has Cain, the father of all vampires BTW. A barrier was setup above the sky, a generated energy field from an unknown source, because the energy was channeled through planets from all directions. The field was unnoticeable and harmless to anyone except Kane, because the fluid in his bloodstream was designed to burst should it converge with the rise through the Earth's atmosphere, killing him in the process. A cure for which he does not have, and no earth human possessed the blood type necessary to replace Kane's. So Kane sought to regain his power, that which could also be magnified through certain technologies.

While we're on the subject, does anyone else get weird PMs from Pepzi, like this one?

A raging grade A+ clusterfuck.

If you were skeptical of CNC-3's quality, play CNC-4 for a bit. Beat a campaign, watch every cinematic.

Afterwards, play CNC-3. You'll be able to see that most of its inconsistencies are pretty tiny in the grand picture, and that EA actually tried to make a classic CNC.

(I reinstalled CNC3/KW out of boredom a few days ago)

YES IT DOES YOU DONT APPRECIATE CANON BANSHEE YOU HERETIC YOU EA SELLOUT.

This thread is an abortion, by the way, Pepzi.

I think C&C3 brings a lot of holes and breaks some important elements of the fiction, such as tiberium.
