Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars Review | Should You Play It Today?

[@jb6876]

My mom worked on this game! She was supervising the team doing the art and asset work from the games early stages all the way to completion. They even let me play test in when it was in alpha. I remember I played the nod mission where you assault the port and blow up the ships. Lots of great memories. I even got to meet the actor that played Kane!

As an 55 year old adult who never has time to play video games anymore, I have really decided to get back into this game in 2019. Your video was a godsend, I love this game, and with the graphics turned all the way up, I think it holds up very well and will be playable for many years to come. Thank you so much for making this video!

[@christopherbrown6322]

One minor thing I loved in this game is that the Nod EVA was more emotive than its GDI counterpart, I could just about feel it judging me in the "unable to comply" messages. I rather like how this reflects the attitudes shown by your aides, Ajay being very informal and openly criticising even inner circle members like Kilian, while Kirce almost never broke from a scrupulously professional attitude. I like how this shows the contrasting cultures of the two organisations; the GDI being a traditional military force, at least in terms of organisation, while the Brotherhood is a militarized cult who will tolerate just about anything except disrespect for Kane as long as you deliver results

The reason why I loved cnc3 is that, he took the good parts from Generals and Red Alert 3, the free building placement from generals and it's game engine and the Stances from Red Alert 3. But overall the texture an_ graphics of CnC3 is really good even for this day it still looks great in 2020.

I love this game it is one of my favorites but C&C: Rivals is also a great game. Many people who hate it on principle but tried it on released, changed their mind and loved it. So C&C is still alive in my opinion, not as grand as its predecessors but is still enjoyable to outsmart or outplay your opponent in short 3 minute-ish matches.

[@pyroshilov8474]

May be alive but tbh a shadow of it's former self. Can't really match the glory of the older C&Cs for a quickfire,microtrsnsaction filled p2w mobile game. I saw a snapshot of AoE2 that was releasing in 99 and the article called it a "possible C&C clone"...to think at one point C&C was a titan of RTS that no one could match (at the time) to become this.

@@DavidMyrmidon Yeah, Global Conquest wasn't very good.

[@wunderwaffeyt4077]

I liked Global Conquest for the fact it has a bit more strategy than just controlling a single or two bases. You need to think a bit more strategic on where you send your units and how you use them by taking personal control over them. The one thing I hate about it is the fact that GDI forces normally outgun and outnumber NOD battalions and attack with everything they have against you with little to time to build defenses or more units. But either way it's good. You act more like a Supreme General than a field commander.

[@joekilla6945]

CNC 3 is a great game on its own. The only issue I have with it is theme wise its completely different from Tiberian Sun in both looks and sound. Tiberian Sun was a dark future dystopia with a distinct retro feel. The soundtrack for TS was made by Frank Klepacki who made all the other CNC soundtracks before EALA took over. CNC 3 on the other hand has a much more American Military vs Red Terrorists feel more like CNC generals than what it's predecessor was. It feels like they took a step back from the future into more modern times which to me just clashes with the narrative. We had the modern military battle between Nod and GDI in the original CNC, to go back now is to feel like technology got "stupider". Otherwise a good game though. Kane lives in death.

[@jake72002]

Steel Talons, non experimental technology division! On the contrary, they use outdated equipment other GDI divisions removed from service.

[@AbuHajarAlBugatti]

"" "The Steel Talons may now be lost to history, but in their prime, they were but steps away from condemning the Brotherhood to that same dusty fate. - Kane[1] ” The Steel Talons is a unique experimental technology division of GDI that specializes in utilizing untested technologies, providing near overwhelming force and firepower. The Talons were formed after the resolution of Firestorm Crisis, by General Joshua Mitchell. Mitchell's belief in having a substantially more highly advanced weaponry than any Nod opposition shaped the Talons' combat doctrine. Thanks to General Mitchell, the group was a test bed for a variety of the state-of-the-art military technologies, many of which were adopted into regular use by GDI forces by the Third Tiberium War. Notably, the division still uses mechanized walkers, such as the Titan and Wolverine. Both have been redesigned since the Second Tiberium War. Steel Talons is not the official designation of the unit; the name was given to the unit by Mitchell's admirers in the media, notably the famed war hero Nick Parker. Because of their unique purpose, the Division is somewhat autonomous from the rest of GDI.[2] "

I've been replaying this game, and it's held up very well, and I seem to appreciate it even more now.

I got into C&C from the original, and remember the Tiberian Sun launch being a pretty big deal too! And while I seem to prefer those titles, I have to admit that there are things about them that haven't aged as well, but I still very much love them. C&C 3 is of course a lot newer, so would have aged better, but it's still incredibly fun and one of the most content-heavy titles of the series! Fantastic review for a fantastic game!

Thank you for doing this review! I have to be honest, I was really not a fan of C&C3 when it came out. The initial release of the game was very unbalanced and I did not enjoy the introduction of the Skrin at all. On top of that, I had tons of frame rate and performance issues on my PC at the time which really soured the whole experience for me. But, after seeing this review I might just give the game another chance. I have not played Kane's Wrath at all and I am pretty sure that performance is not going to be a problem with my current hardware, so it should be a quite different experience.

[@zeratai2465]

One thing which set this game apart for me was the visual changes made by upgrades. Not only the obvious ones like rail guns or lasers, but also small ones like putting signature generators on the venoms, or the GDI infantry armor upgrade. Not only do most of the upgrades show visual changes, they also change the building which made the upgrades as well; aside from Scrin. Like, the GDI and Nod tech labs come with 4 slots for the 4 upgrades you can do on them. The game also upgrades on the veterancy system, which is almost the same as in Generals - kill 3 times the unit cost to level up. In this game, doing damage can give promotions as well.

[@AlexeiVoronin]

A great game indeed... though I did miss the mutants and the old Tiberian flora & fauna that were established in Tiberian Sun and Firestorm. I also wish the Scrin campaign was a bit longer - playing as an evil alien invader can be so satisfying :)

Actually, much harder for the worse. The AI naturally cheats and gets more resources than you'll ever get. Eventually completely overwhelming the player while they try to get a decent army going.

[@RainingMetal]

@@Kylesico912x That's what I meant to say, looking at the confusing syntax of my previous statement. The multiplayer changes that carry over to the campaign in its updated state turns it flat-out into fake difficulty.

[@CandCfans101]

First CNC game I saved up for and bought with my own money, so it's my favorite for sentimental reasons as well as game play ones. Shame the unmentionable game completely failed to pick up on the dangling plot threads this one left.

[@Commando_M]

It's just the story. Like WTF WERE THEY THINKING. (Spoiler) KANE LEAVING THE WORLD AND THE TIB IS JUST LIKE (POOF) AND ITS GONE. Just like the two of the series

[@Zade_95]

That's awesome - similar with me having it be the second in the series I ever played!

[@___Snake___]

Thought I was the only person who remembered this game lol, very fond memories, as I loved this game, in fact i still have both original boxers of the PC DVD, I’m going to install them later today.........I always favoured the Black Hand faction the most with its Purifiers

[@stormlordeternal7663]

So who else had a general sense of kleptomania and stealing enemy scvs to build the enemy factions stuff to assert dominance in this and red alert because thats like the main thing i do other then turtle.

[@G.P.M_7]

Gotta be honest, i did that ool It's so much fun to go and attack the enemy with their own weapons and tanks

[@staticmetalxbl]

I still play KW and CC3. Unfortunately I only have them on xbox. But it's certainly better than nothing. Love these games.

[@strider029]

I wish this game has 64 bit version and a 60fps support. The only best thing EA can do right now is to remaster this game.

[@BoostedMonkey05]

The thing that got me hooked on tib wars is the better physics and destructo scenery and the walking fire mechanic where riflemen don't have to stop moving when to engage targets.

[@Zade_95]

I'm with ya!

Zade Don’t forget the mods... of course, TS and RA2 engine is the most mod-friendly. I’m making my own mod right now

[@Yukari_MAiG]

Still playing this game for sure. My favorite of the CnC franchise, even if Tibrian Sun was my first. Even if you somehow get bored, mods will add a lot more experience.

[@k98_zock_tv47]

Easily the best game of the whole seria! The Tiberium Universe and this dystopic setting here are doing it for me. Shame on EA that they destroyed this Universe and the complete C&C game type. Shame on them! Shame on them! Shame on them! Ring the bells - SHAME

[@kasrkin100]

If don't like it go see the cancel game like the incursion, tiberium FPS, and renegade 2

2007 was a golden age of RTSes: Command and Conquer 3 and Supreme Commander both launched. They couldn't be more different but they're also two of the best games ever made, let alone among the best RTSes.

I never stopped. Always play as Nod, though. Never actually used GDI or Scrin, unless it's Campaign. Scrin are complete bastards.

I understand where you are coming from, Brother. But Kane and our idea told us, at least to infiltrate the enemy GDI, for getting information and knowledge about their weapon systems. ;)

[@LCTesla]

even with so many other great contenders among the classics, most of which I played when they came out, this is my favorite RTS game. it's the culmination of C&C's evolution and such a well-rounded, mature game with visuals that hold up very well to this day.

[@lavrenzo84]

Where is Emperor Battle for dune ?.One of the best rts game ever.

[@Zade_95]

One day - the list is long right now!

One of my most memorable memory of any CnC game is how satisfying it is making an army of Juggernauts and making use of snipers for them to snipe halfway across the map, Other is how impenetrable a Scrin Thunderstorm created by their aircraft carriers are. And then narrowly avoided an ant-like army line of mammoth tanks by making full use of the fully salvaged stealth tech my squad of Avatars have in one LAN game I had with a friend. It's enjoyable both for short minutes and heck 6 hours on that particular LAN game I last mentioned 😅 we ended up both turtling, defeated the NPC and scouring the mpa for resources all the while destroying each other's Superweapons whenever one is nearing its activation, I ended up having to make tens of anti air guns and tons of rocket launchers standing by my nuke and he still manage to destroy it with an orbital drop squad of planes.

[@BrianJ.]

I think this felt like a return to the old school C&C with the return of the campaign intro movies and old sidebar (as opposed to the Generals UI). I also really liked the story, acting and campaign missions. The gameplay was good as well. Definitely a good game. Red Alert 3 however was ridiculous. I'd rather pretend that game doesnt exist.

[@Argacyan]

I started replaying the game after a decade & noticed that the campaign is super hard - turns out patch 1.9 which I never touched had ruined the campaign by halving the amount of ressources a player gathers per second. For any new players it would be good to mention that there's mods & other ways by which they can restore the campaign to its original state. If the campaign is too hard to beat, it was never intended to be played this way. The patch was created only thinking about multiplayer.

[@andrewmelnikov292]

One of the few gripes I have against CnC3 is lack of game speed settings. Everything is a horrific rush, and lots of additional abilities don't make it any easier. That, and how the Forgotten were downgraded to "small-brain Fallout supermutants with machineguns". Otherwise, it holds well even a decade later.

[@RFXCasey]

Played and loved Generals and Zero Hour over decades ago. I just recently started playing CNC 3 with Kane's Wrath and it's phenominal. It's like generals on steroids just set in the future. It feels like generals but some elements play more like the original Westwood titles. The tech tree, amount of units and challenge is fantastic. I think I might agree, this could be the best in the series. Even can be set to run at 2560 x 1080 on a ultrawide monitor and it looks amazing.
