Again, with the increasing hype over Red Alert 3, there's not much to report on C&C3 news.
- C&C3 has been named best RTS Game of the Year by the German magazine GameStar.
- Command School Episode 8 is now out, detailing more strategies for the Steel Talons subfaction, as well as telestration and voice commentary.
Modding News:
CNC Fallout has revealed one of the primary units of NATO's air force, the F-22 Raptor.
Sigma Invasion has more great structure renders posted up.
Convergance is a mod-in-progress. It aims to bring the Battlefield series' command points style of gameplay to C&C3. For those among you who haven't played any of the Battlefield games before, you win by capturing and holding various command points or capture points across the map. At the minute, there is only one guy developing the mod, and according to the ModDB profile, come July he won't be able to work on the mod at all. So, if you feel like helping out here, go check out their ModDB profile

News From CNC3 News - News, or should I say "lack of". - Posted on May 2, 2008 |

The news wire's been pretty quiet this week. Apoc's blog is mostly RA3 updates with a few posts related to Kane dancing. Whatever floats your boat I guess... If you want to see Joe Kucan boogie down, go check out the EA site.
On the modding front, things are a bit more active:
CNC Fallout - This is a total conversion into a modern warfare situation. You get three sides - NATO; the Soviet Union; and Australia. Players can fight with real world units ranging from Abrams Tanks to Pantsyr AA systems. Futuristic technology can also be researched in the game. You will be able to fight in a number of key locations worldwide, such as New York, London, Paris and Moscow.
ModDB profile.
Tiberian Apocalypse / Tiberian Twilight - There are two names specified for this mod, and since I didn't want to post the wrong one, I just went with both. This mod aims to turn C&C3 into a true sequel to Tiberian Sun, as opposed to the Tiberian Dawn-like sequel it currently is, with GDI and Nod receiving partial redesigns, and the Scrin getting a total makeover. Though only renders have been shown so far, the mod does show potential.
ModDB profile.
Tiberian Dawn - As the name would probably suggest, this is a total conversion to the original Command & Conquer released in 1995. The website is very professional looking, and several renders have been posted so far. If you're wanting to play TD, but run anti-pre-2005-software Windows Vista, keep an eye on this mod.
ModDB profile.
That's all for this week. If you've got a news post or mod that you want me to cover, then email me at my CNC3.net email address or throw me a PM on Revora Forums.

More news, brought to you straight from the community's backside ... sources.
EA News:
Firstly, Apoc's Blog. Most of the updates are RA3 related, so I'll not mention them here, that's not my domain.
There's a rather brilliantly made fan art by Nathyel from CnC Addict.com for a dreamt up second expansion pack for C&C3, entitled "Tacitus' Prophecy". Since it's worth it, I'll post the image here.
Just for emphasis for those who may get the wrong idea here: This is not an actual expansion pack. It is merely (brilliant) fan art. Do not think EA are making another expansion pack from this picture.
Next, Battlecast Primetime. The new episode focuses mostly on RA3. Again, not my division, I'll let the RA3 team handle that part  . However, there is still the usual stuff from Raj and David, as well as input from Jason Bender and Louis Castle.
Now, for those who don't want Kane's Wrath on their PC, you have a chance to win on your 360. Preorder the Xbox 360 version of Kane's Wrath from Gamestop, and you can win a free Kane talking bobblehead. That's right. You can have a bobbing Joe Kucan on your desk, reciting classic C&C phrases over and over and over. Such... fun... yes...
Key note for 360 players: Kane's Wrath is standalone on the 360. You don't have to have the original 360 version of C&C3
Lastly, Tacitus Thursday. This week is an interview with the lead designer of Kane's Wrath - Sam Bass. In the interview, Bass gives an inside look at the designing of a singleplayer mission for Kane's Wrath, from the design, all the way to the fine tuning of the AI and scripts at the end. Bass also discloses his own personal favourite C&C missions.
Community News:
1985 - their website has had a bit of a makeover. Also, renders have been posted for several British units featured in the mod. Be sure to check them out either on their website or here on ModDb.
Global Liberation Mod - some new details have been added for this mod, as well as some new ingame images of new defense buildings.
CnC Reformed - This mod adds a new faction to C&C3 - the NEA. Several renders of units and structures have been posted already, as well as a complete unit listing for the NEA side. Yet another new side mod to keep an eye on.
Sorry for the rather bland community news this week, there's just not been that much happening. I guess most modders are awaiting the fabled Kane's Wrath SDK. As Einstein might say "Time will tell, time will tell..."

News From CNC3 News - News Update! - Posted on April 20, 2008 |

Gasp! A news post, from Nighthawk, two days after another one? The world is coming to an end! Oh the humanity!
Nah, seriously, it seems I missed some important news worth mentioning in my previous update.
With regards to Tacitus Thursday - four of the maps available in the Kane's Wrath preorder disk are now available to download from the EA site. This is relatively handy for those who either didn't preorder Kane's Wrath, or those who live in the world outside the USA. There is also a link to the Kane's Wrath version of WorldBuilder here for those who either downloaded the expansion via EA Link, or those like me who just didn't get it with the game for whatever reason.
Lastly, we have Apoc's 'Patch State of the Union Address'. No, EA aren't taking over Congress (though I'm sure it's on their list). This is a large post by Apoc on the current progress with patches for both Kane's Wrath and the original C&C3. Basically, some key points to note are:
QUOTE (Apoc) I am making certain any significant critical fixes in TW that for any reason didn't get transferred over to Kane's Wrath, are strongly considered for our first patch
So those interface lagging issues will be fixed soon.
QUOTE (Apoc) Right now, we are getting the wheels spinning on a patch for Kane's Wrath, and the primary focus is on fixing these desyncs and some of the critical exploitative bugs causing imbalances.
So EA's main focus at the minute is fixing the serious multiplayer issues.
QUOTE (Apoc) As for Tiberium Wars, I would like to apologize about my blog posting a while back where I mentioned proposed balance changes for 1.10. Unfortunately, finishing Kane's Wrath became the priority and getting the immediete critical fixes for Kane's Wrath is the 1st priority before we look back to Tiberium Wars.
So yes, the 1.10 Patch for C&C3 was delayed for progress to continue on Kane's Wrath.
QUOTE (Apoc) That said, TW is not the forgotten child or the melted vanilla ice cream. We've come a long way in improving our support for our games and we're not about to try and take steps back, that would certainly be borderline crazy.
The original C&C3 will be patched at some point.
QUOTE (Apoc) we're on the case and we'll try and get this to you as quickly as possible. We cannot hotfix the current KW issues, they are larger than that unfortunately.
So it could be some time yet till we see a patch for Kane's Wrath.
Well, that's it... again. Have fun.
