Units that has been leaked

ShadowLord · Posted: Sat Aug 12, 2006 12:53 pm Post subject: Units that has been leaked

I have been doing some research and found out that alot of units have been leaked for C&C3 here they are:

GDI

GDI ORCA Gunship (Preview screenshot/article, PC Gamer issue 149)
GDI Firehawk Fast Attack Jet (Preview article, PC Gamer issue 149)
GDI Zone trooper, a heavily armed soldier in a power armor suit who is immune to tiberium and who also has short range jumpjets (Preview screenshot, PC Gamer issue 149) could be a replacement for the Wolverine from Tiberian Sun. It is possible that the power armor suit is an evolution of the Mobius Suit seen in Renegade.
GDI Rifle infantry
GDI grenadier
GDI rocket soldier
GDI commando
GDI sniper
GDI engineer
GDI Mammoth Tank, main heavy tank equipped with dual 150mm guns that can be upgraded to use rail guns instead of standard cannons, and will also have dual rocket pods to take on infantry and aircraft. An onboard engineer will slowly repair up to 50% of the tank's health, like in other Command & Conquer games with Mammoth Tanks.
GDI Predator Light Tank, can be upgraded to have missile launchers on a side mount (Preview screenshot, PC Gamer issue 149 & 1st of June's 06 Podcast)
GDI Guardian APC
GDI Pitbull jeep (Preview screenshot, PC Gamer issue 149)
GDI Minigun defense turret (was originally a Component Tower with Vulcan upgrade as seen in a preview screenshot in PC Gamer issue 149, but this design seems to have been replaced with a minigun tower, as seen in the latest German GameStar magazine)
GDI Juggernaut artillery unit (GameStar magazine)
GDI Aircraft Landing Ship
GDI Construction Yard
The "Rig". Mobile vehicle that can deploy into a turret and repair pad. (GameStar)

Following were leaked and in a picture that list all GDI Structures and a few units, but may not be actual buildings or units

GDI Barracks
GDI APC
GDI War Factory
GDI Power Plant
GDI Tech Center
GDI Tiberium Refinery
GDI Tiberium Silo
GDI Radar
GDI Arsenal
GDI Juggernaut
GDI Uplink
NOD

Nod Rocket Soldier
Nod Rifle Infantry
Nod Stealth Tank (Preview article, PC Gamer issues 149)
Nod Flame Tank (GameStar)

BOTH

Tiberium Harvester for GDI will go back to Tiberian Dawn's design with claws "like a scarab beetle" (1st C&C3 Podcast)
Side bar and construction yard method of building bases and units (third faction unknown) (1st of June’s 06 Podcast)

UNKNOWN

Unknown Faction Mystery Green Soldier (Preview screenshot, PC Gamer issue 149)
It is also known that Mechs, first introduced in Tiberian Sun, will make a return in Command & Conquer 3.
Other familiar units will also be returning, although EA is staying tight lipped about which units those may be.
It is speculated some units can control the weather.

Somebody's been copy-pasting from Wikipedia, methinks. Good research.

I think the MRV, AKA "Red" belongs to Nod, not GDI. Btw, what do you mean "it can deploy to a turret"? What kind of turret?

No the Rig (not Red!) is a GDI unit, its been confirmed in interviews.

I think that some of these won't be the real thing though, cause in 2047 we'd be too advanced for just 'Rifles' and in TS the infantries gun couldn't have been a minigun cause that would have ripped everything apart.

1) its the future, you don't know how advanced we'll be in 2047.

2) A 'rifle' is not a weapon, it is a type of weapon so rifles could just as easily exist in 2847 as 2047.

2) It's fiction, it doesn't have to make complete scientific sense and follow all the laws of physics.

erm...that was the GDI Zone Trooper.
Since when is the APC a building? O_o
The third faction isn't from Earth (they're aliens) and they have a special bond with Tiberium, so their units aren't affected by it the same way the 2 other factions are.
Finally, Mechs are GDI only. Nod has one mech as a special unit. (it's a stolen GDI blueprint for a special MMk2-like unit. except it's two legged and resembles more of a UCS Tiger mech from Earth 2150) That's it.

How do you know this? And if it is, I'm more liking TW. One thing which really put me off was Nod with mechs, but if its special case, I could like it Wink

.

And I'm really intrigued for the differences in harvesting and interacting with Tiberium for GDI, Nod and no 3.

THERE IS NO UNKNOWN FACTION MYSERY SOLDIER! Get this in your head! There's artwork of a Nod trooper with a giant Nod (GDI Designed) mech. And the other soldier in the magazine was the Zone Trooper. The mystery faction is from space, they have NO humanoid Nod Soldiers. <_<

GDI Aircraft Landing Ship = NO. I've never heard of this, and I know my C&C3 info quite well. Unless you mean the Firehawk. There is no sniper or rifle infantry announced, and you forgot the Orcas:
Orca Gunship, Orca Carryall and the Orca Scout. Also, the component tower was NOT replaced. It STILL IS in the game, with vulcan, missile/rocket (basically, 1 upgrade that attacks both land and air units with missiles) and sonic weapon upgrades.

And yes, Muldrake. That mech was a GDI unit you end up stealing the designs for in a late Nod mission. It's Nod's uber-unit. They haven't talked about GDI's uber unit though, so they might get that mech too. It was in all said in an early magazine which had an interview with Jason Bender and Mike Verdu. The translation was posted at PlanetCNC. (I Think it was a german magazine) I believe it's from that one...

Oh, yeah, GDI's grenadier is still the TS "Disc Thrower".

Muldrake · Posted: Wed Aug 23, 2006 12:03 am Post subject:

I believe the "aircraft landing ship" is supposed to be the Aircraft Carrier Style Naval Ship.
Although perhaps not buildable, its sure as heck there.

And I've seen nothing on an Orca Scout?

And I don't get out much of PPM #Tongue

There are four GDI aicraft, orca gunship, orca scout, orca carryall (although its not called this) and Firehawk which is also VTOL apparantly, i read it somewhere.

There is a unit lighter than the gunship? freaky..

Yeah, it is equipped with sensors for detecting stealth units, it can also drop immobile sensors onto the ground that do the same thing.

The unit ended up named in the video interview on IGN. The Avatar... It is said to 'rip' weapons off of other units and use it for itself. How many weapons slots it gets, any starting weapons it gets and whether this was done through it just walking up and grappling the thing off (think like the Cabal unit concepts for the pre-generals CnC3) or something else like the GLA slavage logic is unannounced.

I don't think the zone trooper is a specific anti-infantry higher level guy, I think it's just the name for their basic infantry. Sorta like Nod with their 'Militants'.

Also recon bike, the venom air unit, and the attack buggy should be added.
