Is that a glowing space vagina?

Warren Spector was originally going to make a C&C FPS RPG before working on Deus Ex

That was not a nice joke

The Scrin campaign in C&C 3 is great.

I love the whole narrative of the scrin commander being stuck on a doomed, premature mining mission fighting off angry natives with what boils down to a security force for a strip mining operation, while his angry, unappreciative boss keeps giving him unreasonable missions to investigate some anomalous bald fuck that seemed to have lured the mining fleet to the planet.

It's funny because they probably could've accomplished all their goals if they had just stuck to the Red Zones and left the humans to have their little civil war.

Instead they decided to attack human cities, supposedly as a "distraction", which just guaranteed retaliation.

They even describe humans as "warlike in the extreme" which means they KNEW the risk. Just pure bureaucratic incompetence on their part.

I'm still so fucking mad that we never got a proper conclusion to the storyline of the tiberian universe.

It's a really great take on the classic alien invasion storyline, subverting it by showing us how fucked things are when we see it from their point of view.

Also, it gives a solid explanation of why these infighting humans are capable of figthing them back. Too many alien invasions are solved by Deus Ex Machina because otherwise the natural conclusion is that the aliens with their overwhelming superiority and power would automatically win.

Bad!

Crysis has a nice thru-line too in that the Ceph we're fighting are revealed to be the ayy equivalent of roomba-weedwhackers. Granted the above explanation is a post-hoc explanation for why they lazily gave non-humanoid aliens shitty "dude with gun" designs (supposedly mimicry in the process of adapting to new mission parameters outside normal function) but it's nifty all the same imo.
>>95931047
Don't think it's explored (and certainly not applicable to CnC where humanity has no chance at wiping out Tiberium) but as the Ceph are after our biosphere's aeons of free RnD (fuck of a lot less retarded than the usual "they want our water" bullshit) that's another neat reason for heavier handed measures may not be brought to bear.
