Command and Conquer 3 Alien Race Revealed! (For sure this time)

OH DAMN THE BUGS ARE COMING!

Rumors have been circling the net but recently news has surfaced on various fan sites and forums about the new Alien Race as well as interesting tidbits about the game.

First off if you have ever seen Storm Troopers then you have a good idea of what the new alien race looks like. And guess who was in that movie?!?!?! Michael Ironside who also is one of the Command and Conquer 3 Actors playing General Granger for GDI (See photo)

First reported in gamespot here are some of the notes posted:



  • Amazing graphics, but we already knew that.

  • Joe Kucan says his next project is a CnC 3 expansion.

  • Everything in the game is destructible. We assume most everything.

  • The infantry in the game uses a Company of Heros style cover system where they use elements in their environment as cover

  • Harvesters do have basic defense weapons.

  • Very cool Multiplayer features! The game will allow for multiple spectators. One person can be designated as the cameraman and commetator for a match. Nice EA!

  • Load times are set to be short.

  • Top tier units can be rolled out relavitely fast. Keep in mind there will also be all types of settings and maps for multiplayerplayer allowing for whatever style of game you want to play. Listen to the latest CNC3 podcasts for more info on that.
