In the first episode of Command and Conquer TV: Battlecast Primetime (Flash version Here), EA Games had announced that an Expansion Pack for CnC3 is on it's way. The Expansion is named rather unoriginally "Kane's Wrath", but a proven concept is never wrong, right?

One of the biggest features of this Expansion is surely the 2 new subfactions for GDI, Nod and Scrin. I wonder how they'll pull subfactions of GDI and Scrin out of their hats, but i'm guessing it will be similar to Generals: Zero Hour in which 3 commanders for every Side were presented, each having their own battle philosophy and distinct set of units. In the newscast linked above you can see some concepts of new stuff that looks quite promising. There are also some screenshots which you may enjoy by clicking on Discuss and read the topic!

It's here folks, the "Revolution" that was announced a week ago. Click here to have a look smile.gif
They're planning on doing more of these, and the added feature "broadcast" on the new patch (1.07 I belive) lets you submit the replay to EA for a chance that they'd put it up on their next CNCTV..

They talk about the mod SDK and give a cople of previews..

It also talks about their next expansion pack, "Kane's Wrath" coming "early 2008", which will cover events directly following TS, and lead on past the story of CNC3. Yes, EA is indeed listening to the fans, and from the looks of things they're really wanting to straighten things out. Hopefully it'll meet our expectations, and answer most of the questions that we never thought would get answered..



But it might be a blessing and a cursing at the same time - I think a story like this would be pretty hard to pull off in as an RTS game, and since it'll cover a large span of time in the story, there'll be a lot of evolution involved. They'll have to find a graceful way to evolve titans and disruptors into predators and mammoth tanks..
And, with all this evolution, what will the multiplay factions look like?
I'm not sure how EA will pull it all off - Kudos if they do, but I'm now getting my hopes up just yet..
The expansion will also feature a new interface for the Xbox 360, to make it easier to use with the controller. I guess you select the building, and it has a dial you can pick what you can build. Will it work? we shall see hmm.gif

they also had some concept pics of new units that would be featured, Muldrake posted em up on PPM
