Could be total BS but at least check it out for entertainment value.

Gameleakinfo: How did it go? Got any new info?

Agent VENOM: What youve been waiting for so long man. Yeah, got it. It wasnt easy. They let me in (the meeting) only because I told them I was in Westwood LV (Las Vegas) and was just assigned to the LA (Los Angeles) team. I kinda thought it wasnt going to work, but they musta believed me coz they just told me to come in. Man that was a rush.

Gameleakinfo: Whew. Thank *** they dont issue photo IDs. So whats the scoop?

12/06/06 12:46 PM

Agent VENOM: For the first 15 minutes the team discussed the project work breakdown structure and went through a completion checklist. It was in one of the checklist entries that I found out what the third faction is. Your not gonna believe it. Its the... SCRIN

Gamwleakinfo: NO WAY! Sweet! I was hoping it would be them. This is gonna be the best CNC ever

Agent VENOM: Thats not all. You wanna know what that checklist entry was?

Gameleakinfo: Stop playing and tell me. Man Im shakin.

Agent VENOM: Allrite. It was a SCRIN Base Dropship. From the people talking I found out that this is the SCRINs version of the MCV.

Gameleakinfo: A flying MCV?

Agent VENOM: No, even better. This ship is a somethin of a mothership. Its stationed above the Earths atmosphere. It just come down and drops the base structue on the land or water.

12/06/06 12:49 PM

Gameleakinfo: T hats cool. But from what EA was hinting, I was expecting something really unreal. Got anything else that we dont know yet?

Agent VENOM: Well, this tought to make you happy. Its the base building style.

Gameleakinfo: What?

Agent VENOM: This is really crazy. The SCRIN has the ability to stack their structures vertically. And this makes it easy to make their bases fly. Like one of the guys was saying. "You could build a SCRIN barrack on top of a SCRIN War Factory and that would create unique vehicles like a cybo-buggy,
12/06/06 12:51 PM

Gameleakinfo: Aw man! Wait till everybody hears this. They are gona friggin freak out! Hey what about the whole Tiberium, SCRIN and Kane relationship?

Agent VENOM: Well they didnt say much so I dont have much info. I hope Ill get more info in tomorrows meeting. But putting two and two together I gather that the SCRIN sends tiberium to nitrogen- oxygen rich habitable worlds to terraform them. The tiberium is supposedly essential to their survival, but the team didnt mention how or why. And Kane, well he was decieved by the SCRIN, who enlisted his help to thwart any opposition to their plan, i.e., GDI. During the brainsorming session the guy next to me said that Kane could find out that the SCRIN was using Kane as their puppet and GDI and NOD might finally work together to defeat the SCRIN. But thats not final, so I dunno if its gonna be in the game. It would be pretty cool tho... just like in TS Firestorm. And thats all I could get.

Gameleakinfo: Man thats a lot of info. *** job VENOM. Hopefully you be able to gather more info soon to shock the CNC community.

Agent VENOM: Thanks. Ill talk to you soon

Building buildings on top of buildings? Dear God, it's like Lego C&C or something, and flying bases? Reminds me of something I said to AOWR about moving the entire battlefield in a C&C expansion pack. It's only amusing because it's crap, but even though none of that is real, it still sounds like something EA would do :rolleyes:

Actually, it reminds me somewhat of my post in the C&C3 topic from a while ago. The related part:

[Translated from PC Gameplay article, copyright PC Gameplay]
"The mobile base thing will only be used by the third side. The base of the third faction will be one big moving fort, with little buildings which are connected to each other. This base can move as whole, which allows you to move it close to Tiberium patches on the map. This moving base can also be used as a big superunit because of its defensive turrets. What's also new is the ability to send and control Ion Storms. With this you can not only damage enemies but there are also units in the game that can heal of this. The combining of a unit with another will also be very surprising. This property is mainly for the third faction, but also GDI and NOD can combine different units into a new one. You'll be able to combine a tank with a flying scout unit to recieve some extra punch from the air, or a NOD Stealth Tank with another unit to also give it stealth."

Sweet this is great info indeed can't wait to hear waht else is going to be in this and I though for sure the The Forgotten would be the third side oh well the SCRIN sounds awsome none the less and ya there building can be put together and make merged units ah I hope this Agent VENOM doesn't get busted and can get more intel on CnC3 :rolleyes: .

Edit: Forgot to say whoever this VENOM person is I salute um for this.

Edit: oh and maybe we should copy and paste this info at E-Studios so they can see this to.

Background process. Has something to do with some activity going on somewhere. Sorting junkmail, I think. No value or interest. Doesn't do much except hog resource.

Wow. I hope this third side will just be for shits and giggles, as I smell uber-imbalancing here...

OLD SIG
When history witnesses a great change Razgriz reveals itself,
first as a dark demon. As a demon it uses it power to rain death upon the land,
and then it dies. However after a period of slumber Razgriz returns
As the demon sleeps, man turns on man.
Its own blood, and madness soon cover the earth.
From the depths of despair awaken the Razgriz.
Its raven wings ablaze in majestic light.
Amidst the eternal waves of time
From a ripple of change shall the storm rise
Out of the abyss peer the eyes of a demon
Behold the Razgriz, its wings of black sheath
The demon soars through the dark skies
Fear and Death trail its shadow beneath
Until Men united wield a hallowed sabre
In Final Reckoning, the beast is slain.
Razgriz intrerpretation

seems BS. Verdu already said that units wont be combined to form other new units. What it meant is that units close to each other benefit from the other units ability. for eg a sniper close in the ranks of a tank formation might give a range boost to the tanks. something like how the avenger laser designator works as.

this guy posted two other such threads in the EA forums about supposed "leaks", but Apoc, the community manager, said they were completely made up.

I'm very dubious as to the authenticity. You know they're not just going to let a random into their meetings - these people *know* who everyone is because they've been working in the industry for years. You recognise people.

It sounds to me like he's just done the same thing there as Blaat, and regurgitated information from articles and reading, as well as mistranslating or whatever.

Although we already know the third side is the Scrin.

Remember this;

It's named "Scrin Primal". Concept art that you can find in Craig Mullins' portfolio:

Although it looks more like a Tiberium Floater to me.

I didn't mistranslate, that is what the magazine says. However the magazine could be incorrect.
