The storyline campaign is set between the end of Tiberian Sun and the beginning of Tiberium Wars. It revolves around the seemingly immortal leader of the Brotherhood of Nod, Kane, and recounts his ascent to power after narrowly escaping death in the year 2031, ending with Kane re-acquiring the Tacitus artifact from Tiberian Sun, in the year 2062.

Gameplay[edit]

Kane's Wrath features a 'Risk-like' gameplay mode called 'Global Conquest', where players build and control their forces from a strategic, global level with the goal of either destroying all enemies or completing their side's alternate victory objective. Instead of the traditional Command & ConquerRTS gameplay, the mode uses a turn-based system where the player issues higher-level orders such as 'build a base here' (to have the computer automatically build a base with preset structures) or 'upgrade this base' (to have the computer automatically perform multiple structure upgrades on a base); the orders execute at the end of a turn and the other sides then get theirs. Combat in this mode occurs whenever two opposing forces collide on the world map; the battle can either be played traditionally (as a standard real-time C&C game) or be automatically resolved by the computer using the forces' relative strengths.[4][5]

Kane's Challenge mode (Xbox 360)[edit]

Kane's Challenge is exclusive to the Xbox 360 version of Kane's Wrath, replacing Global Conquest Mode. Similar to the General's Challenge game in Command & Conquer: Generals – Zero Hour, the player chooses one of the nine factions, and is pitted against all armies spanning ten challenges; referred to as 'The Gauntlet' in-game. Also included in this game mode are all-new, high-definition video sequences featuring Joseph D. Kucan as Kane, congratulating or taunting the players as they progress in Kane's Challenge.

Plot[edit]

In the first act of the campaign (set shortly after the conclusion of Firestorm), Kane enters a bunker deep in the underground, apparently healed of all injury save for his face mask. He instructs LEGION to incite the Rio Insurrection by taking out the GDI presence in the area and giving Kane a substantial number of followers. After the player succeeds, Kane informs the player of his plan to reunite the Nod splinter factions. Since he cannot risk revealing himself to the world yet, he chooses Brother Marcion, the leader of the 'new' Black Hand to convey Kane's will to the Brotherhood in his stead (since Marcion had Anton Slavik assassinated). The player is then commanded to drive Marcion out and capture him. Brought before Kane, Marcion comes back into the fold of the Brotherhood as Kane reveals himself to him, and removes his face mask, showing a completely scar-free face. Kane then orders the player to destroy a Liquid Tiberium facility in the Australian Outback as a 'grand gesture' to the remaining splinter factions to rejoin him, turning the continent into a Yellow Zone in the process. Kane deactivates LEGION and begins to build Nod into a superpower.

During the second act (set before and during the events of Tiberium Wars), Kane begins to lay down the plans for the destruction of the Philadelphia, commanding the player to steal plans for the Ion Cannon network. Since the destruction of the Philadelphia would eliminate most of GDI's leadership, Kane predicts that Redmond Boyle will be his pawn and become the Director of GDI, so as to provoke the future liquid Tiberium explosion. The player is also ordered to capture Dr. Alphonse Giraud from his research facility, explaining his disappearance in the GDI campaign of Tiberium Wars. Afterwards, Abbess Alexa Kovacs has taken the view that General Kilian Qatar is a traitor to Kane, and plans to have her discredited by attacking Temple Prime in her guise, then leaking Ion Disruptor technology to GDI, thereby leading to General Qatar's execution being ordered by Kane. She reveals her doubts and fears about LEGION, and about LEGION being connected to the Tacitus during a cutscene before a mission and also tells the player that CABAL's cyborgs murdered her family, and is worried as LEGION is based upon the same technology that created and powered CABAL. After the Tacitus is secured on a mission, a highly distressed Alexa snaps and infects LEGION's core systems with a powerful computer virus, fearing that the AI will turn hostile like CABAL upon interfacing with the artifact. The virus destroys LEGION's systems, and Kane is alerted to LEGION's infection and catches Alexa red-handed in the act of destroying LEGION. Kane discovers to his horror that Alexa attacked Temple Prime in Killian's guise and had Kilian executed for a crime she did not commit. Alexa snatches a pistol from one of the guards as she is about to be taken away for interrogation and aims at Kane with it. Clearly beside herself, she shouts Nod's motto 'Peace through power' and then commits suicide by shooting herself in the head, just as LEGION shuts down.

Conquer

In the third and final act, LEGION reawakens five years later in the post-Tiberium War 3 period, and Kane focuses it on recovering the Tacitus. GDI has been meddling with the device, causing it to become highly unstable; Kane needs the Tacitus for his master plan, so he orders the player to first awaken the Marked of Kane, a faction of cyborgs that only LEGION is capable of controlling due to its link with the destroyed CABAL. With the successful reactivation, Kane then sends the player to recover the Tacitus from GDI's NORAD facility. After the Tacitus's successful capture, Kane connects it to LEGION, and the AI becomes infused with the vast knowledge of the object, ending the game in a cliffhanger. The ending cutscene shows a reverse of the Scrin campaign introduction cutscene in C&C3, and a message that implies that the Scrin would later try to send a full invasion force, similar to what the Scrin Overlord states at the end of the Scrin campaign in the original C&C 3.

They're Here, And Lando Calrissian knows it. 'This is war against an enemy unlike any that mankind has ever seen!' screams a wild-eyed Billy Dee Williams, hiding out in an Icelandic bunker as the alien menace thunders overhead. 'If you don't use everything in your power.. If you don't use every asset available to fight this war right now.. Then you are failing every man, woman and child on this planet!' Then suddenly, he mellows. 'Do the right thing commander.. That's all I can ask.. Do the right thing..' Ladies and gentlemen, the FMV has landed - and so have the new faces in the third act of the Tiberium Wars.

Hie first place they strike is fair London town, a 'blue zone' city unaffected by the crystalline tiberium plague that's turningour planet into a toxic, yet energy rich, wasteland. 'The GDI unambiguously sees them as the invaders: they show up, their intentions are hostile, they start laying waste to cities and fighting both GDI and Nod troops,' explains C&C3 executive producer Mike Verdu when I quiz him. 'Kane, on the other hand, keeps on referring to these guys as 'the visitors' - and it's clear that there's some kind of agenda..'

But what does this mean for the C&C franchise? The delicate balance between the solid, dependable, build-and-conquer GDI and the sly, finesse and stealth techniques of the Nod is about to be trampled upon merrily - and one false move could spell disaster for the Westwood enclave at EA. So with such an unflinching juggernaut of a franchise, just how very dare they shake things up?

Just Moved In

There's more than a touch of World of Warcraft's Draenei to C&C's friendly neighbourhood alien invaders - perhaps it's in their shimmering light blue colourings and rather bulbous crystalline vehicles and units, although there's also a vague insectoid nature in there too. They've been camping out just beyond the orbit of Neptune you see, and they've been there for generations - just waiting for when the time is ripe and juicy for an attack. And that time would appear to be 2047.

Now I don't want you to start thinking that the very fabric of C&C is being broken (for better or worse that certainly isn't the case), but the invaders are strikingly different in concept from anything the series has seen before.

'To some extent we've named the alien units as they would be perceived by GDI and Nod. so the basic alien infantry are called buzzers, picks up Verdu as we hover behind one of his accomplices, busily playing through a GDI mission set in the battered shell of Cologne in Germany.

'To a GDI soldier on the field they would seem to be a cloud of intelligent flying razor blades. They flock and swarm almost like a swarm of particles across the battlefield; when they come into contact with you, they spin around and cut you to shreds.' As he finishes, a tripod with wavy medusa tentacles sprouting from its top appears, firing independent laser blasts in every direction and making strange squeaking and screeching noises. It's instantly noticeable too that it's shrouded in the aforementioned alien infantry buzzers..

'Yes. They can also combine with other alien units, so you essentially get this protective cloud,' nods Verdu as the GDI scream for help on the monitor below us.Don't mistake this for the reinvention of the wheel though. Yes, the invaders have warp bubbles that summon units through wyrm-holes rather than the traditional conveyor belt approach. Yes, they can summon and control flashy ion storms that boost their own units while hassling others; and yes, they even have a unit that gobbles up tiberium, then pukes it all up over passing human troops and incinerates them. Ios video downloader online. However, the new C&C faction still works very much in the venerable build/harvest/rush/ defend fashion. This isn't a Supreme Commander-style rethink of the RTS genre - it's a consolidation of years and years of the C&C franchise: slick, pretty, effective, mega-budget and (E.T. totally withstanding), back to basics.

So You're Back, Commander?

I soon discover this for myself when I'm pitted as GDI against a fellow journalist who's limbering up as a servant of Kane. While I'm immersing myself in the familiar procedures of building power stations, sending out harvesters and wandering up the production ladder, I can't help but notice how slick everything is.

Hip friendly C&C toolbar may be iconic, but in C&C3, its use has been streamlined -it's almost iPod-like in its ergonomic yet deep design. Much as I hate to parrot the promises made by Verdu when I interviewed him back in May, the whole affair does feel crisp, clean and vital in a way that few RTSs have ever mustered.Soon, I've mustered a happy collection of Mammoth tanks, goliath Juggernaut walkers and a smattering of Orca gunships. Now, I'm in the mood for something a little more substantial than the sniper/infantry and flametank/pitbull confrontations my Nod adversary and I have been sharing at the crossroads at the centre of our urban map. Leaving behind a skeleton defence force, I send my chaps to the north-east of the map, ready the airforce and click and select one of a few applicable formations. Then I set walker and buggy alike, travelling at the same speed into the jaws of the valley of death. As soon as my planes leave the airstrip however, a huge Nod force decloaks a fraction to the south of my base and the counter-offensive massacre begins. 'Wanker!' I exclaim loudly.

Heading my opponent's attack force, in front of a flotilla of stealth tanks, is an Avatar War Meeh, a 40ft bipedal creation that the Nod commander can upgrade at his whim. Fancy nicking the flame-thrower component from a flametank and sticking it on? Go for it. Think a stealth field generator would help your walking metal hulk camp outside the enemy's base? Then pluck one from a stealth tank.

Either way, what Mike Verdu casually calls a 'flame-spewing, beam-firing, stealth bipedal robot of death' is bearing down on my base with surprising vitesse. Now if my defence force weren't scampering back through a Tiberium patch several miles away, and if I had any engineers who weren't being toasted in a beautiful billow of flame by a flametank, then I might have been able to knock the damn thing down - and take it over myself. As matters stand, however, I'm pretty well screwed.

Vanquished

As the dust settles on my ignominious defeat, I sit down, steal a consolatory pain de raisin from a nearby journalist feed-trough and have a good old think. Command & Conquer 3 is dead-set on providing the well-trodden, clean, solid RTS experience that both the diehard fans and marketing execs demand - again, it's not a revolution. But at the same time, there is an unknown factor.

Command And Conquer 3

The Tiberium universe may have been crying out for an injection of mystery and wonderment, but are these blue fellas the ones to do it? Are their otherworldly Gipers and visuals a little too 'out there' for a series that's previously defined itself on flames and hard steel? At the same time, will their cool ion storms and razor-blade infantry prove to be gimmicks cut-and-pasted over a well-worn template? To be honest (and I'm aware that I'm paid to have opinions about this kind of thing) it's impossible to tell yet - I haven't seen enough.

What I can tell you is that the rudiments of the game are pixel-perfect. The undimmed joy I felt as I heard the first harvest of tiberium trickle into my refinery completely obliterated the many lingering doubts I had about Command & Conquer: Generals.More than any of the seguels and spin-offs, Tiberium Wars genuinely feels like a dyed in the wool C&C game. The FMV sections (a series hallmark) arc priceless - and the prospect of having extra-terrestrial FMV sections in the alien campaign (EA will only say that the seguences 'won't be live action') is certainly intriguing. Will the visitors be talking to you, the alien commander, through a series of clicks and whistles? Will you crush Kane and Michael Ironside alike, squishing them under your blue insectoid/crystalline leg-like appendage? Watch this space, commander.
