The third side is Scrin (although name isn't confirmed).
Subject description: as the narrator of the trailer explained against a wide shot of Earth from outer space, "they came"
With E³ happening, many news about C&C 3 are emerging on these big sites. Here's a community news covering some of them:
Command & Conquer 3 News:
-> IGN Interviews Mike Verdu: The guys from IGN have interviewed the executive producer of C&C 3. Mike Verdu tells many interesting things, specially the return of the sidebar, with improvements and their focus in a single player experience with a great story. Here's a snippet:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mike Verdu: It's also worth mentioning the return of the side-bar interface: Our in-game UI for C&C3 is a side-bar that will feel familiar to C&C players but it has some added features that make it more useful - and make it feel interesting and new. We are combining the centralized production queues in the classic C&C side-bar with contextual space for selected units and structures. The new UI lets you quickly build units and structures, easily control grouped units, and access your build queues anywhere on the map - even in the middle of a battle. But you can still get lots of information about your selected units and activate their special abilities - which is pretty much expected in the latest generation RTS games. We think our interface for C&C3 is the best of both worlds.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-> GameSpot reviews C&C 3 E³ Trailer: Andrew Park, from GameSpot, has posted his article about the 360' trailer of C&C 3, with mammoth tanks, orcas and a bit about the story. He accidentally confirms that the third side is really an alien specie (thanks Tratos for this interesting conclusion). Here's the snippet:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"According to the trailer, the cover-up didn't quite work out, thanks to the meddling of C&C's classic "bad guy" faction, the Brotherhood of Nod. Led by the evil mastermind Kane, Nod discovered tiberium's other potential as a powerful energy alternative and attempted to discredit the GDI by exposing the cover-up in the year 1995 (the year in which the original Command & Conquer game was released). This sequence of events polarized the world so that the world's inhabitants aligned themselves with either GDI or Nod--a standoff that was a threat to global stability until, as the narrator of the trailer explained against a wide shot of Earth from outer space, "they came.""
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, that Scrin Primal that we've seen in 2004 is still a good candidate to be featured in the game. Watch out for more information about this new Starcr... I mean, Command & Conquer!
-> Swedish Magazine with I don't know: Tesla7zap posted a translation of the magazine he received with some C&C 3 information. You can check it completely at the slow horde or at the fast PPM forums.
-> CnC World: Cabal makes his return over there and he'll be bringing all news from the front. Check it out for upcomming features!
-> CnC Depot: Some egyptian hackers decided to shut up the site from the danish webmaster, but they've missed the target: the webmaster is irish. Unfortunatelly, CnC Depot is not returning in a while. The sites who were hosted under it are also down due to this event, like AllianceHQ. CnC Depot is hosted in our server.
Community Jobs:
-> Renevo is looking for C++ and LUA programmers for their new game and other projects. For full information, check the press release posted by Cypher on CnC Community.net
-> CnC Guild and YR Argentina are in dire need of a webmaster to keep these sites alive. If you have good HTML/PHP skills, news posting ability and good PR abilites to manage any of these sites, send an email for applications[at]revora.net. (replace [at] with @)
There are much more news to post, specially about our projects here. I'm not forgetting them, but I'm simply without time to either do a proper news cover about all C&C events that are happening. My classes returned, so did my work and Revora is taking almost all my online time at the moment. So, be patient. Even with not much news, the community is still very active and full of news inside. Browse our forums and have fun! QUICK_EDIT

had these pictures a few days ago. *Yawn* Nothing spectacular. I want to see Nod already. _________________ PPM's Reichstrollfuherer, 236th Trollenparties brigade. QUICK_EDIT
Me too...I can't wait to see Nod! And i'm a bit dissapointed that the new side is the Aliens...I WISHED it would be CABAL...What happened to him? He was still alive in the FS ending, as you could see! And both the Nod and GDI storylines happen at the same time, but both happen, not just GDI. WTH is going on about CABAL? But, at least we finally get to see the Aliens...i kind of knew they were gonna be mobile, like the Earth 2160 Aliens...It was already TOO logic when they mentionned mobile bases. CABAL defected from nod, thus, he would STILL use a Nod-like army. This dosen't stop anyone though from modding the game and making a CABAL army, which makes it still good. And it will be easier, since the code for a new side is already there, left-off from BFME2 (it had 6 races if i remember correctly, what fun would it be to play a C&C3 with 6 factions...*drools* ) Long live the Aliens! QUICK_EDIT
Yeah, well I just noticed the Mammoth tank pics, I can't wait for NOD neither! I wonder if the Obelisk of light will make a come back with a total revamp?? _________________ My name is Shadow... I am Lord of the Shadows! NOD rules!!!!
The Scrin should NEVER make an appearance in the TS universe, it's ridiculous, CABAL should have been the 3rd side the stupid "{(*%!"£$! idiots !!!
Oh look lets copy Halo, "WE DIDN'T KNOW THEY FOUND US BUT THEY DID" Hellooooo TS Halo!! Next we'll be seeing Tiberium Zombies! _________________ QUICK_EDIT

by the way, it is not TS universe, it is C&C universe!
Scrin were in TS. that crashed thing called Scrin Ship that you had to capture in both GDI and Nod campaigns. And Banshees were created using stuff retrieved from that broken ship.
Anyway, I am indifferent who will be the third faction, Scrin, CABAL, Forgotten or evil tiberium fiends
If EA will not be completely ignorant idiots, they will think about the fact that CABAL took over Kane in final Nod movie in Firestorm. QUICK_EDIT

Wth, TS universe is what this is.
And don't call me wrong when you say "invading aliens reminds him of halo!" because it doesn't. The opening trailer just reminds me of the Halo trailer too much. _________________ QUICK_EDIT

That GDI logo is better then the old one. By far the worst logo was the RA2 Soviet one. What a ztyping insult to the CCCP. _________________ PPM's Reichstrollfuherer, 236th Trollenparties brigade. QUICK_EDIT
I believe those are the only three units EA has finished. But at least this proves that those are the new GDI light infantry. Can you imagine how much those suits chafe? I know way off topic, but its just something that been on my mind. QUICK_EDIT

What are you talking about? EA has finished many units, they're just not showing them. Remember, this game has been in development for several months
And those soldiers in the big armor aren't the basic infantry. One of the screenshots shows the basic infantry running alongside a mammoth tank. _________________ Destroy to create. All for the hunt to dominate!
Ya I guess I'm just getting a little eager, so much good news has come in the last few weeks I'm starting to get overwhelmed. I just can't hold it in man. QUICK_EDIT
1 thing is for sure that is its going to be some sweet 3d-graphics life for warhammer other then the fake bulgy graphics on ra2. _________________ QUICK_EDIT

Thats not confirming it at all, its referring to the wolverine. Nothing more, nothing less. I really dont like the infantry...too built up imo for basic foot soldeirs.(like the RA2 conscript's ridiculous attire.) _________________ PPM's Reichstrollfuherer, 236th Trollenparties brigade. QUICK_EDIT

yes, comrade. As if it was very difficult to find an image with hammer/sickle and make a nice-looking mix. Or at least remake RA1 Russian/Soviet logo, it was not very bad
******************************************
I finally watched that damn trailer. My opinion is not very good. Just something quick and flashing. Mammoth made me angry. As it says " dual 150mm cannons and dual missile pods" when actually missiles will be an upgrade (and it is unknown, how it will be, upgrade once-for-all or install it to every tank manually).
And, of course, all GDI units even don't know that they now have new logo. On all units - Mammoths, Orcas and etc. we see this crap:
they promise that they will improve pathfinding. Generals should run extremely fast on my PC, but thanks to damn pathfinding it terribly lags on large maps with complicated landscape... QUICK_EDIT

The images are good, but I'm afraid that EA will screw it up.
Anyway, I hope they will solve the "select multiple units, 5 units still stands on his original place"
You mean the infantry? You want it so that five infantry can fit in a single cell, instead of three? If so, same here. _________________ Destroy to create. All for the hunt to dominate!
I watched the trailer, I thought it was kinda funny hearing the grunts, as they mooshed through the desert choking up on some mammoth dust. The music was very reminscent of the WS loading vid, and of course TS, if not the same. One can only wonder....Why did they bomb that little island full of rubble.....was yuri's psycho*%$..I mean
Where's The effen Tiberium! those zine pics showed nothing much... I was surprised to see them go back to treads and seeing how the medium tank now has pwning mammoth tusk? _________________ Delirium.. QUICK_EDIT

You know half of TS' GDI units still bore the TD logo even in the final films? This logo is not DEFINATE. Stop complaining about it. And why not use the real USSR's insigna? And NATO's, too...for the matter of RA1/RA2 in general. _________________ PPM's Reichstrollfuherer, 236th Trollenparties brigade. QUICK_EDIT

Stop being stupid. This is the GENERALS ENGINE. THEY STILL HAVE GEN/ZH ELEMENTS IN IT!!! Its just the same as half the mods with the original game's elements in it. Idiots. _________________ PPM's Reichstrollfuherer, 236th Trollenparties brigade. QUICK_EDIT
Oh for the love of god it's not gonna be Generals 2. They haven't got Tiberium out there yet because they have to tweak the engine enough to include the Tiberium physics. Geese, the game has only been in development for two months give them some ****ing time. QUICK_EDIT
In the name of Kane, I damn want them to follow the original concepts of Scrin. They were much more than just a human with grey skin, extended head to the back, 3 eyes...they were, from outern space... _________________ QUICK_EDIT
