EDWOOD CITY, Calif., April 20, 2006 - The epic struggle between the Global Defense Initiative (GDI) and The Brotherhood of NOD continues├óÔé¼┬ªand the third Tiberium War is about to begin. Welcome back, Commander. Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: ERTS) today announced that Command & Conquer├óÔÇ×┬ó, the groundbreaking series that put the Real-time Strategy (RTS) genre on the map, is returning in full force with Command & Conquer├óÔÇ×┬ó 3 Tiberium Wars*. This highly-anticipated next chapter takes the popular series back to its roots in the Tiberium universe and features the fast, fluid gameplay that Command & Conquer is known for and a gripping story that will redefine storytelling in RTS games.

It is 2047 and the stakes could not be higher. Tiberium-a self-replicating alien substance that has infected the Earth-is spreading like a radioactive ice age. The GDI, a high-tech alliance of the world├óÔé¼Ôäós most advanced nations, is fighting to contain Tiberium, but Kane, the megalomaniacal leader of The Brotherhood of NOD has other plans for Earth. Kane├óÔé¼Ôäós secret society turned superpower is bent on using Tiberium to take control and transform humanity into his twisted vision of the future. All-out war rages over Tiberium and the fate of the planet rests in the balance.

├óÔé¼┼ôCommand & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars combines fast-paced gameplay with new ways to tell a story in an RTS game,├óÔé¼┬Ø said Mike Verdu, Executive Producer at EA Los Angeles (EALA). ├óÔé¼┼ôWe├óÔé¼Ôäóre building a next generation Command & Conquer game that is true to the spirit of this classic franchise, but is updated with state-of-the-art visuals, added strategic depth, and gameplay innovations that will move the genre forward. I am very excited to be working on this amazing game.├óÔé¼┬Ø

├óÔé¼┼ôWe have been waiting to reveal this game for quite some time and are thrilled to bring the series back to where it all began,├óÔé¼┬Ø said Louis Castle, VP of Creative Development at EA Los Angeles (EALA) and co-founder of Westwood Studios, creator of the Command & Conquer series. ├óÔé¼┼ôThe Tiberium universe is a personal favorite of mine, and this saga├óÔé¼Ôäós new direction will prove to be a worthy addition to one of the most celebrated RTS franchises.├óÔé¼┬Ø

I liked Tiberium sun a bit, but the NOD had a too huge advantage. Or at least it seemed that way.

The GDC looked cooler though.

if there are 3 factions then count me out
if its old school two i am very tempted, haven't played C&C in ages and love it

Sweet a new command and conquer game. I have always loved the tiberium timeline but I have that that it would have been cool if it was before the tiberium came and you could see the rise of the GDI and NOD and there battle for the world.

In that case you're going to hate SupCom!

Oh and C&C3 will have 3 sides, the 3rd is unknown thus far. So if you want to think it sucks because it has 3 sides, well you have fun thinking that.

It'll either be the mutants, or, more likely, the aliens.

3 sides or 4 is bearable. and it supcom it will indeed pwn. but to have a shitty extra side to the NOD and GDI? that would be lame!

Posted: **21 Apr 2006, 15:32**

I imagine the third side will be the Forgotten.
