![]() While Adana has a somewhat important status by Turkish standards due to hosting US troops in the nearby Incirlik Airbase, it has little international significance otherwise. The exact location is never stated, but pre-mission maps put it in southwestern Turkey where the real-life city of Adana is located. Aliens in Cardiff: Both GDI and Nod have several missions that take place in GDI's administrative capital of "New Adana".Please add tropes relating to other games as well on the main Tiberian Series page. Please note that this page is for tropes that feature in this game. The only Command & Conquer game besides Command & Conquer: Renegade not to receive an expansion pack. The story ends with a triumphant Kane finally achieving his millennia-old ambitions and the Tiberium menace ended once and for all. Though this brings about an uneasy peace, contains Tiberium's spread and begins a new stage of harnessing its potential, GDI reactionaries and Nod separatists once more plunge the world into conflict. Faced with human extinction, Kane and GDI struck an unholy alliance to build a "Tiberium Control Network", using information from Kane's Tacitus. In the aftermath of the Third Tiberium War, the alien crystal mutates and becomes almost impossible to stop. While it was certainly a flawed game, Renegade’s combination of FPS and nostalgia won enough hearts to earn its status as a beloved title for many C&C fans.The fourth and final installment of the Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series, Tiberian Twilight (Electronic Arts, 2010), is set in 2077. Its multiplayer also proved popular-enough so for fans to create Renegade X, a modern remake of the game’s online play for a whole new generation. Renegade did accomplish that, taking players through a hearty campaign of first-person destruction against an entire army of Nod soldiers, bases, and vehicles. Though it did feature extensive vehicle combat alongside its infantry gameplay, even Battlezone II and Codename Eagle each preceded Renegade by multiple years and did its combined arms better, and with Battlefield 1942 only a few months from release, there was no shortage of games for Renegade to be unfavorably compared against.īut just like the trailer emphasizes, it wasn’t about being a great FPS, it was about being a soldier in Command and Conquer. As Westwood’s first foray into an FPS, Renegade’s gameplay wasn’t great, particularly when you remember players had spent years with Half-Life, Quake, Counter-Strike and Unreal Tournament by the time it released. If you do watch it, you’ll probably notice how hilariously dated Renegade looks. The attack dog doesn’t have a sonic stun-bark because it needs it for its early anti-infantry defense role it has one because RA3’s unit design is “the more abilities we can chuck on these units, the better.” Unfortunately, quantity does not equal quality, and the result is three armies of units all crippled with bloat, an excessive number of buttons to press that are unnecessary at best, overwhelming at worst. Where RA2’s units had their quirks built into their standard functions like moving or attacking, RA3 simply takes a bucket full of different powers you could find in any MOBA and throws them at you. Even the damn attack dog has a “Sonic Bark.” It’s a hamfisted attempt to build upon RA2’s interesting and unique units. RA2’s gameplay features were taken to their extreme, most notably the way that every damn unit in RA3 has an activated ability. The result is three armies of units all crippled with bloat. ![]() And the problem with that is it highlights just how much better Westwood was at designing an RTS. Bringing back iconic units in itself isn’t the issue-it’s that trying to imitate RA2 is all the game knows how to do.
