The third faction has finally been discovered, in Games for Windows magazine.

They are, as many people predicted, aliens!
We do not yet know whether they are Scrin or something else, but we do know that they use a lot of high-tech units, mainly robotic.

And, of course, what you really want to see: pictures!

Ok, sounds cool eventhough Aliens in battle look a little strange in C&C.
I always liked the idea of them watching GDI and NOD from outer space and think that we are pretty much a parasitic lifeform...


EDIT : The flying thing in the city certainly looks like the head of the Spaceship in TS... I have no more doubt that they are the Scrin, or atleast are using Scrin technology

Woah..

Definatlely alien. Scrin? Questionable. They may be intended to be the scrin, but EA might callthem somthing different - if they havent looked up the tiberium storyline too well (which we know they havent by thier lack of reasonable tiberium logic) then they may not actually realize that the scrin are called the scrin.

The "units" look like they could be organic creatures rather than metal tanks/robots. Possibly somthing Half-Life 2 ish gong on, alien creatures with mechanical bits fused on...

Yes, because you know EXACTLY what they're supposed to be, with a single spaceship in TS.

Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it destroyed C&C.

War of the worlds anybody? In fact, that unit near the right border looks like it could have spawned from war of the worlds.

hmm, im not too sure about this... it might be had to perfectly pull this off, they look abit out of place unless there are loads of them in some armegedon style land. oh well... this is the future of C&C, not much we can realy do about... they seem to not realy listion to the commuity other than changing the tiberium crystal size. i think the only thing that will redeam me now is blue tiberium, with big tiberium trees that spawn toxic gasses that kill all Nod troops tongue.gif, maybe i will have to mod it...

eh, I still can't picture scrin as an actual faction, just a menace in the background to give nod & gdi trouble...

Mutants should SO have gotten the third C&C faction. Well, there's an expansion pack coming, there's still hope.

When you say they look "more like" you miss out a 'than' at the end. They look more like w40k eldar than what? Your own image of what the scrin should look like? confused.gif

TS had one crashed alien ship. As far as I remember the scrin were not shown elsewhere. EA own the rights to the game, they have a few pieces of concept art to work with, of course its not going to be exactly how you imagined it. And remember that concept art is exactly that, concept art. Concepts change...


That said, I do hope someone makes a mod very quickly after cnc3 comes out if the aliens are not the scrin, and preferably a mod which adds mutants as a fourth side wink1.gif

Hmm... bugs. Don't really like that.. i mean, how would bugs be able to create this phenomenal technology (portals etc)? I get the idea they didn't really think this one through.

Sounds like they're sort of protoss-ish, where most of them are composed of robots and warp in (they're just buggish robots)

HeXetic over at PCNC wrote: Aliens are kinda bug-squid-techno-organic creatures. Some of their units are more bug-like than others, and some might feel a bit derivative but the faction overall doesn't feel like one particular alien stereotype such as "bugs".

Yes, they look like bugs...
From the pics I can see they will probably be overpowered, with their uber lasers.

Its more likely that they'll be underpowered because EA fear criticism for overpowering them. Not that EA often heed criticism...

What i meant is, they're just a big swarm of bugs, i don't get the idea they actually have some goal they are trying to accomplish besides "terminate all and breed more bugs"..

Well the Combine in HL2 are like giant bugs etc, and look what they did in HL2. So I don't see why these bugs can't.

At least they've changed gameplay a bit.
I've always thought of it boring to see only two sides in C&C go through a fight to the finish.

Besides, the weapons of the new side look amazing.
