The game leaves the Tiberium story-line open ended, with Kane's motives and objectives remain obscure with him wanting to use the tower, and humans to activate it. The player is forced to choose a faction. Īfter 15 years of restoration work the Tiberium Control Network was a success, and the crisis averted however, the uneasy alliance between GDI and Nod eventually fails leading to the Fourth Tiberium War and the start of the game. By 2073 GDI defeated the separatists with their new weapons, the crawlers. The Tiberium Control Network Conflict broke out in 2062 between Nod Separatists and GDI. The situation was too dire for GDI to decline, and GDI and Nod formed an uneasy alliance. Using the Tacitus as leverage, Kane revealed that he had developed a new system, dubbed the Tiberium Control Network, to control and harness Tiberium, however only GDI had the resources necessary to construct it.

All the base functions, including harvesting and constructing units, will be replaced by the Crawler.During cutscenes the camera will move around and interact with the environment.
How different is it? Instead of harvesting Tiberium resources to build a sturdy base and a diverse army, you deploy a specialized Crawler - a walking, rolling or flying distant relative of C&C’s Mobile Construction Vehicles - in a designated spot on the map, and unfold it to crank out units for free until you hit your unit cap.
