EA Starts Sharing Command and Conquer 3 Insider Info

There is a great new article out in Gamespot where Mike Verdu says "I'm excited that we can start sharing the details of what we've been working on all this time."

So about those details...

Much of it goes into the setting of the game which you guys probably already heard about. You know GDI, 2047, Tiberium infestation, etc etc. The good part begins when he starts to talk a little more about GDI actually does outside the blue zones. Apparently GDI actually goes into the yellow zones and works to contain Tiberium. This helps to improve the quality of life for the residents there but you have to remember that NOD has the upper hand in terms of gaining the peoples trust in this regard.

Mike goes on to talk about the speed and strength behind GDI. They are able to operate independently in "multiple theaters of war" with their rapid-deployment forces. These forces are able to operate in all types of terrain. The really interesting part comes when he mentions that GDI utilize their "all-weather weapon systems..." This could simply mean weapons that can operate in all environments or it could mean much more. Also included where some great screenshots!

Ground Forces Mentioned are:
  • Predator Main Battle tank
  • Mammoth Heavy Tank
  • Juggernaut Mobile artillery unit
  • Fast moving lightly armored combat soldiers
  • Special Forces Commando
  • Elite Sniper Teams
Air Units:
  • Rocket-Equiped VTOL Orca
  • Firehawk Fast Attack Jet
  • V-35 OxVTOL transport
Support Units
  • MCV - Mobile hub for forward operating base
  • Rig - Versatile vehicle that can deploy and repair a base
So it looks like there were some really juicy tidbits in Mike's latest release. Thanks EA
