Yup, apparently EA is adding a third faction to C&C3. I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing. It would open up a whole new world of tactics and strategies.

They have a video up too.

I heard that the third faction's superweapon is a thing that lifts up buildings from your base and smashes them into things.

I didn't get a chance to see or use the Alien faction's superweapon when I was at EALA, but even if I did, I couldn't tell you about it. Razz

I'm the bawss.

Alien faction?! So it IS the Scrin!

I was wondering if it would be them or the mutants, the latter of which would be completely lame. And since they didn't announce who it would be exactly, there was always a little bit of fear in the back of my mind that they would add something completely fucking stupid as the third faction, like the Civilians or a time-traveling Yuri or something. Huh

Not exactly. EA and the characters call them "the visitors". What we know to be the Scrin could be completely different.

It shouldn't be the Scrin. They always crash into our atmosphere so how can an armada come here only to fall into the Earth and get their crafts salvaged?

Well, in any case it's not Yuri. I feared EA would make another blunder when they promised to "link all the timelines together". Huh

What does Yuri have to do with the as-yet-to-be-concepted link between Red Alert and Tiberian Dawn? Kane is the catalyst to that link, not Yuri.

I think it would've been far cooler if the Forgotten was the 3rd faction.

I don't think it would make much sense in the gameplay along with the storyline if it was the Scrin.

It's the aliens from Independance Day...they finally figured out how to build their ships without a "shoot here to destroy" spot, and they installed Norton Antivirus.

Only that Norton ate so much of their CPU that they couldn't do complicated attack plans...

Renguard is a wonderful initiative

Maybe it is the Forgotten from Tiberian sun. In one of Nod missions, you get to fight against them. In that mission they use civilian units and buildings, as well as some Nod buildings and units. Westwood made it that way probably because they did not want to create new unit renders just for one mission.
Anyway, this is what I think, and of course, they will use different units and buildings than the ones they had in Tibarian Sun.

The "visitors" from C&C3 definitely have their own structures, infantry, and vehicle equivalents.

Maybe, but we don't know the entire storyline of C&C 3 yet.
