[edit] Tournaments

I think It would be a good idea to add information about the tournaments that have or will be held around globe, such as Tiberium Troopers or WCG in which C&C3 will take place too. Lan EX Hikari 16:46, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Firestorm

I've been trying to add a link to Firestorm at the end of the plot section. I can't see why anyone would object to this, but it's been reverted twice (over the last month or so.) Looking at the history, it seems to have been reverted by two different people, so I'll add it again for now. Just add something here if there's an objection to this, although I can't think why there would be. The Watchtower 10:55, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] update

patch 1.05 is out

Any source? --SkyWalker 08:09, 8 June 2007 (UTC) Thanks, It is added now. --SkyWalker 08:19, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Xbox 360 Version

Could we add a section on the Xbox 360 version of C&C 3 gameplay? Would be intresting to see how you can play a RTS on a Xbox. -DARK 15:36, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

I suggest checking youtube for these gameplay videos. - Jack's Revenge 18:05, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Release Date

This was not mentioned. Kristopher Windsor 05:01, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

The release date is mentioned. Are you talking about patch release date?. --SkyWalker 09:07, 11 June 2007 (UTC)


[edit] name change?

can somebody tell em why their was a name change from the 'n' to 'm', tiberiun to tiberium, i like the name tiberium better just wondering, i was thinking maybe because in sun it appears to look like a plant, or maybe cause they thought its easier to say. please explain --Jameogle 03:23, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Emm, it wasn't changed. "Tiberian" presumably means "of or pertaining to Tiberium". The substance has always been Tiberium, it's only the phrasing of the second game's title which uses "Tiberian". Chris Cunningham 09:06, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
You can also think of it in the way Belgium and Belgian are used. VmanBG 03:03, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ref name="AF"

ref name="AF" is listed twice, however whoever put it in just put ref name="AF" twice without putting the actually ref after one of them, so we just have: 6: a, b.... and then no link or anything. SGGH speak! 15:31, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Plot Summary

Why does the plot summary end halfway through the game? If a spoiler warning is needed then by all means add one, but the plot summary needs to have the entire plot, not just what you can find on the back of the box. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.23.251.224 (talk • contribs) 07:13, 28 June 2007

[edit] Game speed, maybe?

Has anyone knotice there isn't any options for game speed? Is this going to be fixed in the patch or EA just gona totally ignore it?

What is the point of asking it here?. This is not a ea forum. So please ask in ea forums. --SkyWalker 05:54, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Frank Klepacki

According to this article Frank Klepacki turned down the offer to score C&C3, and there's a reference to frankklepacki.com, but I can't find any information on his site on this. I also remember reading that Klepacki "learned about the game the same way as the fans", so I sense some bad info somewhere. --ReCover 12:50, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reference section

I tried to update the reference section because the URL in [6] to http://www.commandandconquer.com/game_details/game_features/default.aspx but it's semi-protected. The current link does not lead to the referenced information. seriema 20:53, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] EXPANSION PACK ANNOUNCED!

I got an email from EA a few days ago, announcing the C&C TV. At the bottom of that email it said that there is an expansion pack coming out for C&C:TW. This is an exact copy of that article:

COMMAND & CONQUER 3 KANES WRATH EXPANSION PACK ANNOUNCED! It wouldn't be a proper launch without the announcement of something even bigger: Command & Conquer™ 3 Tiberium Wars first expansion pack, Command & Conquer™ 3 Kane's Wrath! Bridging the storied timelines between Command & Conquer Firestorm™ and Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars, the expansion pack will provide a brand-new single-player campaign centered around Kane told in a brand new Global Domination Metagame, new sub-factions and additional units to GDI, Nod, and the Scrin, brand new multiplayer maps, and much more.

To celebrate the expansion pack announcement, we have released a new Command & Conquer 3 Kane's Wrath exclusive wallpaper for newsletter subscribers featuring one of the new units, "The Awakened."

GET THE AWAKENED WALLPAPER

And be sure to watch BattleCast Primetime as Producer Jim Vessella gives you the exclusive scoop on Command & Conquer 3 Kane's Wrath. You won't hear it anywhere else first.

WATCH BATTLECAST PRIMETIME

The door to ascension stands before us, the Tacitus is the key...

[edit] Patches?

Just check the official site, the patch has already been released Lan EX Hikari 16:46, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

There have been a boundle of patches released.So I can not find info here and does anybody know when 1.8 would be released? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.114.81.151 (talk) 08:05, August 27, 2007 (UTC)



[edit] C&C 3 rushed?

I think C&C 3 is rushed and for that it should be mentioned. 82.114.81.146 20:41, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

If by rushed you mean that that the game developers didn't have enough time to create it.......It did come out two years after Zero Hour (or was it 4??)....and I've never heard that it was rushed. Shinpah1 01:00, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

If you can back it up with proof, feel free. Otherwise, if it's the usual fanboy storm it's not worthwhile. If it was rushed, there would've been a slew of coding errors, but it mainly had an issue with balancing as other RTSs do in their release.--MercZ 21:22, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Or indeed do consistently forever like in all C&C games. Regardless, this isn't being added on the say-so of an anonymous user. Chris Cunningham 11:08, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] plot tag

a tag that states: "This article or section contains a plot summary that is too long compared to the rest of the article." when the tagged section is of the same length as other sections makes no sense, and is misplaced. from: What Wikipedia is not;

"Wikipedia articles on published works (such as fictional stories) should cover their real-world context and sourced analysis, offering detail on a work's development, impact or historical significance, not solely a detailed summary of that work's plot. This applies both to stand- alone works, and also to series. A brief plot summary may sometimes be appropriate as an aspect of a larger topic."

real-world context is covered by "story", sourced analysis is covered by "factions overview", and work's development and impact is covered by "development" and "reception". the guideline you site does not correspond directly to the "campaign plot" section. the tag is placed wrongfully, and will be removed. "campaign plot" section falls under "plot summary appropriate as aspect of a larger topic".

guidelines you sited are also just recommendations, not wiki guidelines, as is made clear on the page itself. be reminded that they are not suitable to base authority on. Kalamrir 11:28, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Bah, I'd forgotten that {{plot}} was reworded. Regardless, it's still narrative cruft. The article should not have over a page of storyline material. I'll have a deeper look into this. Chris Cunningham 12:59, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
trimmed it down some, same with other things. trying to get the article to FA-candidate condition. Kalamrir 09:35, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 360 ~ PC

Can This be played with a 360 and PC at same time? (someone playng CnC3 on a PC fighting a friend playing it on a XBox360 over XBox Live) 75.164.160.183 (talk) 01:47, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

No it is not. It is not part of GFW Live neither supports cross platform play.--SkyWalker (talk) 03:35, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Command-and-Conquer-3-screenshot.png

Image:Command-and-Conquer-3-screenshot.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I think the table is best as is now stands.Asrghasrhiojadrhr (talk) 17:37, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Soundtrack table

Who besides me thinks the article would benefit from having that monstrous table replaced with one similar to the one here? FusionMix 17:16, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
