Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath Tournament Map Strats (PC)

2008-04-04T02:45:00.001-07:00

EA offers up some basic strategy for several of the new showcase tournament maps in the C&C3: Kane's Wrath expansion.

One of the major draws of the Command & Conquer franchise has been the single-player campaign with its cheesy live-action movies. The longetivity of the franchise, however, can be attributed to the game being a fast-paced brute-force RTS with a terrific multiplayer component. The latest expansion pack for Command & Conquer 3 looks to continue that tradition with all sorts of interesting new multiplayer maps. Jim Vessella, EA's Lead Producer on Kane's Wrath, has a few pointers that can help gamers dominate on some of the new tournament maps in the game.

Tacitus Thursday Returns

2008-04-04T02:44:00.000-07:00

Thought Tacitus Thursday was dead? Think again! The official C&C website has updated, offering a new Tacitus Thursday. This week, a Kane's Wrath multiplayer map called "Heaven and Hell" is being discussed.

It's an extremely detailed look at the map, featuring start locations, prime expansion points, other points of interest, and it even discusses the "combat flow", and the path of units towards the enemy's base, suggesting defensive lines, and useful garrison spots.

If you're someone who plays a lot of skirmish or multiplayer, it could be useful, so pass on over and give it a read.

Command and Conquer 3: Kane’s Wrath Review (Bit Tech)

2008-03-30T09:42:00.001-07:00

There are three rules in the realms of computer games and they are as follows. Firstly, strategy games are always better on a PC than a console. Secondly, System Shock 2 is better than Ocarina Of Time no matter what Famitsu says. Lastly, Joe Kucan (who plays Kane in the C&C games) can do no wrong.

Seriously, the guy is amazing – even more amazinger than Chuck Norris, and that’s saying something.

In fact, Joe Kucan is so beloved and adored by gamers that he managed to even hold Command and Conquer 3 together - not that Tiberium Wars was bad per se though, the game was still well-balanced and enjoyable – it’s just that it had somehow lost some of the charm of the highly regarded series. There wasn’t as much of the piss and vinegar personality that had made the earlier games so enjoyable.

Gamespy Review Kane's Wrath!

2008-03-27T05:36:00.000-07:00

Command & Conquer 3, the return of EA's seminal Command & Conquer franchise, brought back the kind of brute-force action-oriented "meat and potatoes" RTS that the genre's brainier grandchildren like Company of Heroes almost put out of business. The result was an enjoyable, hyper-fast RTS geared toward those who enjoy creating huge armies of toy soldiers and watching them blow each other up -- a lot. As the inevitable expansion pack for C&C3, Kane's Wrath clearly isn't looking to mess up the nice little niche the series has carved for itself amongst strategy gamers. The result is a by-the-numbers addition to the Command & Conquer universe that offers some enjoyable new content to the faithful (along with a few missteps) but is ultimately an eminently forgettable addition to the game.

The expansion pack's best addition for single-player fans is easily Global Conquest mode. This is a turn-based RISK-style capture-the-world meta-game that, while not particularly original in concept, stands out as an excellent example of the breed. Players can select one of the game's three sides and, based on the numbers of cities controlled, slowly spread their influence over the world. Global Conquest requires a surprising amount of strategic acumen from the player as limited resources require them to create a variety of "strike forces" which must then battle for control in real-time skirmishes. Each side also has alternate victory conditions (the Scrin, for example, must successfully build nine "Threshold Towers") that frequently throw spanners into well-laid plans and are a lot more fun than the original vanilla Skirmish matches.

IGN reviews Kane's Wrath!

2008-03-27T05:34:00.000-07:00

The single-player campaign feels disjointed, mainly because it jumps all over the Command & Conquer timeline to fill in the gaps. Things start off just at the end of the Second Tiberium War, and every few missions the campaign leaps forward a decade or two. As such, you don't get much of a cohesive story. Instead, you get glimpses of the back story. While prior knowledge of the previous games isn't necessary, it would certainly be helpful in understanding what's going on.

Meanwhile, there's the standard selection of RTS mission styles in the campaign. Most of them have you begin with a construction unit, which you use to construct a base. That includes a refinery or two to start harvesting tiberium, some power generators, and a variety of infantry or vehicle factories, along with support buildings that unlock special powers and abilities. The formula in these is usually build up your forces till you're strong enough to go on offense, and then attack and repeat until you've worn down the enemy. Then there are a handful of non-building missions, where you control a small group of units and must navigate around the level without losing too many of them. Here the trick is to save early and often until you get through the level.

The Scrin Ravager showcases the tendency for Scrin castes to incorporate Tiberium into the very structure of their units. The Ravager is often seen speeding across the battlefield in a blur of phosphorescent green, only noticed upon the complete collapse of an enemy colony’s harvesting operations. When met directly in battle, the Ravager fires a concentrated beam of tiberium shards that can rip through infantry and vehicles alike.

NOD & Scrin Subfactions for Kane's Wrath.

2007-11-18T05:18:00.000-08:00

Brotherhood of Nod

Subfaction: Black Hand

Specialty: Aggressive Infantry

Background: Kane’s elite guard forgoes stealth in favor of heavily armed –and aggressive--infantry. The result: more powerful Black Hand units, upgraded confessors, and an upgraded Avatar Warmech that starts with flame throwing ability.

Subfaction: The Marked of Kane

Specialty: Stealth Assault

Background: Kane’s “Chosen,” modified through technology and Tiberium to the point that they are barely human. Tiberium troopers (who can damage and slow down targets) replace Black Hand units. They’re not tough, but they rely on stealth and finesse to win the fight.

The Scrin

Subfaction: “Stalker-17”

Specialty: Troop Suppression

Background: Possibly the remnants of the first invasion force, fighting off whomever they can and adapting their tactics to compete on Earth. New units like the Ravager show an emphasis on softening ground troops with hit-and-run strategies.

Subfaction: “Reaver-43”

Specialty: Ground Pounding

Background: This subfaction seems to represent “big gun” support troops sent from the Scrin home world, as evidenced by the new Mechapede, and insectiod biomech unit that starts with only a head (though you can order up as many as eight segments during battle). Spot an incoming air force? Create an AA segment.

Kane's Wrath GDI Subfactions Confirmed.

2007-11-18T05:15:00.000-08:00

Armed Forces

Carefully doling out intel, EA’s ministers of information only intended to reveal the subfactions for the GDI and Brotherhood of Nod-tough we managed to smuggle out the names (or codenames) for the Scrin subfaction, too. So while the GDI and Nod information here is official. Consider anything regarding the Scrin as pure conjecture. When asked for confirmation, Vessella would only answer with, “Hmm…interesting theory.”

Steel Talons

Specialty: Armored Assault

Background: Favoring Steamroller tactics, the Steel Talons rely on brute force and relatively conventional forces. Coming from the Tiberium Sun era, they don’t have access to sonic technology. That doesn’t stop Commander Michael “Mack” McNeil from getting some solid troops. Upgraded Juggernauts can garrison infantry, allowing for better defense; old favorites such as the Titan and Wolverine are back exclusively for the Talons; vehicles roll out with veterancy. The only downside is that they are less effective with infantry and air units.

ZOCOM (aka Zone Operations Command)

Specialty: Area-of-effect attacks; suppression

Background: ZOCOM are the sci-fi trooper equipped for the red Zones. Based off the C&C3 era and beyond, their advanced sonic technology is a great mob-attack deterrent. Shatterer tanks and ORCAs come armed with more powerful sonic attacks. Zone Troopers upgrade to Zone raiders with and area-of-effect sonic cannon and anti-air defenses, but they are less effective against conventional vehicles.

Kane's Wrath Developer Interview With Jim Vessella.

2007-11-17T05:48:00.000-08:00

GameReplays recently had the chance to have a few questions answered by Jim Vessella, associate producer for Command and Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath.

GameReplays Command and Conquer 3 has been a great success as an e-sports title. Will Kane’s Wrath continue in this vein, and more specifically, will you push to get it into the World Cyber Games?

Jim Vessella It was awesome having Command & Conquer 3 represented in the World Cyber Games this year. The fans have been incredibly supportive of Command & Conquer 3 since its release, and this is the primary reason that C&C 3 has been so successful as an e-sports title. Kane’s Wrath will indeed continue the e-sports momentum, and should become even more exciting thanks to all the new faction content. We certainly hope the World Cyber Games will accept Kane’s Wrath into the tournament lineup.

EA said that the trio are at the 'epicenter' of the expansion's 20-year storyline which begins with the rebuilding of NOD following the events of the Second Tiberium War. There are is thus far no word on any of C&C other regular cast members.

New Celebs Sign On For CNC3 Expansion.

2007-10-31T05:36:00.000-07:00

Electronic Arts Inc. today announced that Command & Conquer 3: Kane’s Wrath, the expansion pack to the critically-acclaimed and fan favorite, Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars, will feature Natasha Henstridge (Species trilogy) and Carl Lumbly (‘Alias’) in its all-new, high-definition, live action video sequences. Henstridge and Lumbly will be joined by veteran Command & Conquer actor Joe Kucan, who originated the role of Kane, the megalomaniacal leader of the Brotherhood of Nod. All three actors are at the epicentre of the Command & Conquer 3: Kane’s Wrath story which will span 20 years – from the rebirth of the Brotherhood after the Second Tiberium War through the dramatic events of the Third Tiberium War and beyond.

“Natasha and Carl are a perfect fit for the live-action video sequences that will bring our epic story to life,” said Mike Verdu, General Manager of EALA and Executive Producer on Command & Conquer 3: Kane’s Wrath. “We had great success with the cast and story for Command & Conquer 3, and I’m very excited to be working with such talented actors on the expansion pack. We’re doing something really unique with the campaign this time around – and I think fans will be thrilled to see how the story unfolds.”

Live action cinematics have become one of the hallmarks of the Command & Conquer series dating back to the original Command & Conquer in 1995. In addition to the trademark live action videos and multi-decade campaign, Kane’s Wrath introduces six new sub-factions and a wealth of new units, structures, and powers to the armies of the Global Defense Initiative, the Brotherhood of Nod, and the enigmatic alien Scrin.

Since the Command & Conquer series is so popular in Germany, EA used the Leipzig Games Convention to debut Kane's Wrath, the expansion pack to Command & Conquer 3. And it did so in a big way: Not only did EA offer a live demonstration of some of the game's new features and unit additions, Kane himself (Joe Kucan) made an appearance -- much to the delight of showgoers in Germany, where he's actually somewhat of a celebrity.

As the expansion pack's title suggests, the game focuses primarily on the Brotherhood of Nod, of which Kane is the megalomaniacal leader, from its rebirth after the Second Tiberium War through the Third Tiberium War and then beyond. According to EA, the game's exploring of the past actually came as a result of requests from the fans.

Kane's Wrath To Be Seperate Title On Consoles.

2007-10-10T02:09:00.000-07:00

Electronic Arts today announced that console owners (Xbox 360) will have the luxury of purchasing the upcoming Kane’s Wrath as a stand alone game title - meaning that a previous purchase of Tiberium Wars will not be needed to play the forthcoming expansion. PC users however will still need the original Command and Conquer Tiberium Wars package to play Kane's Wrath - or so we gather.

The fact that EA are prepared to offer this new title as essentially a whole new game demonstrates the scope of the changes and their confidence in the titles content. Is Kane's Wrath going to be the game we've all wanted since the release of generals? The ultimate CnC title?

We'll know in January!

Kanes Wrath: New Units.

2007-10-09T11:13:00.000-07:00

Kane's Wrath: New NOD Units Explored.

2007-10-09T10:01:00.000-07:00

The Awakened: Cyborg remnants of CABAL's former army they have risen to assist Kane in the Third Tiberium War. These units have a welded machinegun on their left arm that is excellent for taking down infantry. While mostly used as anti-infantry troopers, the Awakened also come with a welded EMP cannon on their right arm for added tank busting goodness.

Reckoner: This armored personnel carrier is a heavily armored troop carrier used for transporting infantry into defended areas with smaller risk of death. While the Reckoner is moving, units inside can't shoot out of it, but they are equipt with the one time ability to deploy and transform into a bunker (much like the existing GDI bunker function with infantry), gaining an extra garrison slot in the process.

Specter: New stealth artillery that fits well into Nod's style of play. The Specter can tail other units around the battlefield or hide themselves in a corner just waiting for the perfect moment to strike. With the help of the EMP cannon from the Awakened, they can take out a group of enemy armor units easily. They also can fire over longer distances with the help of the new Shadow Infantry ability called Artillery Beacon that sets a target that the artillery can barrage the radius around that beacon from afar. Just what NOD was lacking.

Back to all units.

Kane's Wrath: New GDI Units Explored.

2007-10-09T09:54:00.000-07:00

Shatterer: A mobile sonic emitter is a hover tank that has taken the sonic emitter turret from C&C 3 and attached it onto a mobile platform which becomes a very strong siege weapon indeed. These tanks like the structure version of the weapon can hit multiple targets making them a useful weapon when attacking well fortified locations.

Slingshot: This addition to the GDI arsenal fills a much needed deficiency, ie. vulnerability vs. aircraft (especially the scrin). The Slingshots are a fast ground based lightly armored anti-air hovercraft that can destroy air units with relative ease.

Hammerhead: The great thing about this flying unit is that it never needs to reload the twin auto cannons it houses, however, it is still fairly defenseless against anti-air units and can only hit ground targets. Hammerheads also have one garrison slot, which is especially important because whatever infantry unit is garrisoned inside will be able to fire as well.

Back to all units.

When Khan came back he ended up obliterating himself in the U.S.S. Reliant. Unfortunately for GDI -- but fortunately for us because we get more games -- Kane is proving a bit more resilient. The bald-headed leader of NOD is back once again in Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath. We were treated to a demo showcasing many of the new units that will be available to armchair commanders in this upcoming expansion pack and everything we've seen has got us roaring to continue the war over Tiberium.

New Toys for Everyone

Expansion packs are generally about new maps and new units to play with and Kane's Wrath should have plenty. Every new unit we've seen has plenty of potential to turn the gameplay of C&C 3 on its head, but without sacrificing balance.

One area that we were happy to see addressed was GDI's lack of an air unit that could stay in combat for a long time and not have to return to base to be refueled. The solution is the GDI Hammerhead, a heavy helicopter gunship that are armed with machineguns that have unlimited ammo. These guys are great for ground support and can stay in an area and hose down infantry from above; however, they have no anti-aircraft capabilities so are vulnerable to other air units.

As far as RTS games go, Command & Conquer 3 is one of my favorites. The franchise's marquee presentation captured my heart, as I spent countless hours playing and replaying through the section where my beloved Dr. Cameron ordered me around. However, aside from a rather modest map pack and some much needed patching, interest in C&C3 seems to have died down.

Thankfully, fans hungry for more Command & Conquer action have had their cries answered by EA, which announced during the premiere of Command & Conquer TV's Battlecast that an expansion for the title was due out in early 2008. Titled Kane's Wrath, the expansion will feature new units and two new sub-factions for each of the game's three factions, some interface tweaks, and the chronicles of Kane's exploits from the end of C&C2 all the way through to the future following the end of C&C3. There's no word yet on whether or not this expansion will be released as a full retail title or just a downloadable pack, though the expansion is slated to hit both the PC and the Xbox 360.

Kane's Wrath - First Details on the Command And Conquer 3 Expansion Pack.

2007-10-08T12:30:00.000-07:00

Last year's excellent real-time strategy sequel Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars was something of a return to the long-lived strategy series' roots. The game went back to the classic struggle between the fictitious GDI and Brotherhood of Nod factions in a brand-new story that took place on a futuristic Earth invaded by ruthless aliens. In addition to building in the kind of fast-moving real-time strategy gameplay that players might expect from a Command & Conquer game, the development team at EALA also went out of its way to craft an in-depth sci-fi story told onscreen by Hollywood talent such as Billy Dee Williams and Michael Ironside, as well as by former writer Joe Kucan, better known as Kane. The game also shipped with community tools to encourage serious competitive play, including real-time spectating tools and the ability to provide commentary on live matches. And now, the game is set to expand both on the PC and the Xbox 360 with Kane's Wrath, a new expansion that will add more gameplay, more units, and a unique new interface for the Xbox 360 version. We sat down with EALA executive producer and vice president Mike Verdu for more details.

A little more than a week after announcing its existence, EA gave us a first look at Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath, an expansion pack to this year's hit real-time strategy game. Kane's Wrath, which will ship for the Xbox 360 and PC, will tell the story of how the evil Brotherhood of Nod recovers after its defeat in the Second Tiberium War, as seen in 2000's Command & Conquer Tiberian Sun Firestorm. However, the expansion will also cover a 20-year stretch of C&C history, right up to and beyond the events seen in Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars.

The campaign will focus mainly on the Brotherhood of Nod, and it will come in three acts. The first will cover the aftermath of the Second Tiberium War. The second will cover a parallel story to the events in Command & Conquer 3. The third and final act will extend to the future and involve Kane's "ascension."
