The Command & Conquer series continues on, this time with a strong focus in the single player campaign experience. EA reportedly beefed up the backstory by consulting MIT scientists for scientific realism. The game will feature live action cutscenes and story telling breaks during gameplay. The game will introduce a third faction in addition to the GDI and NOD. New gameplay features may include mobile bases and customized units through combining units.
C&C3 uses the engine featured in Battle for Middle-Earth II. The graphics demonstrate emphasis in lighting, shiny water, and most importantly, particle effects. The game features the side control panel as found in C&C games before Generals.
The Xbox 360 version features new controls and game UI. Online multiplayer over Xbox Live features several modes including conquer, siege, capture the flag (CTF), king of the hill and conquer & hold. Conquer is a mode where players build up their armies to a set point and then engage in battle with no further reinforcements. Siege is a mode where players cannot attack each other for the first five minutes of the game (5 minutes no rush!).
