Here's a first look at the new CNC3 expansion box art:



Pretty cool eh?

Ok I'll expand. I like how they remembered that Kane had a metal plate on the side of his head (for most of the TS campaign, anyways), but the eye looks too much like the eyes from the Terminator. The red gives it a very "Nod" feel, which goes good with the idea of the expansion. The EA logo on the bottom-right looks a lot better than the green one from the original Tiberium Wars box.

About the cyborgs (I'm guessing thats what they are), I have mixed feelings. Cyborgs were Nod's most powerful infantry units (Cyborg Commando kicked ass), so I'm glad to see that they're back. However, the guns on the arms look a bit messed up. If they're a freaking amazing unit in game, I'll take this back, but the cyborgs look like Jimmy Neutron got high on Red Bull and went crazy with some corpses and computers and weapons.

I don't know what to say about the tank on the left of the cyborgs. It looks fairly cool, but..... I don't know, maybe it's the GDI in me saying that it's Nod propaganda, using a 2047 version of Photoshop to oversize a Hot Wheels tank and put an explosion on the gun to make it look like it's firing tongue.gif

I'll rate it as a 7.5/10, points off for what I explained above, and half a point off because it's Nod themed tongue.gif

Good evaluation!

The Terminator eye does worry me a little, although at the same time it seems to be a progression from the original metal plate. I recall that the original had less grooves and details - perhaps that is more realistic too, for the time frame.

The cyborg seems like some sort of Samus though, it doesn't feel very CABAL like to me, and the drone in the background looks just like that... A star wars drone warrior.

The logos are more suited, and the photoshopped explosion looks quite nice too though. Still not entirely comfortable with a monocoloured box again, but I suppose it may suit the atmosphere of the game they are intending.
