So you saw the spoiler warning right? We can't warn you enough. Everything from here on in is a SPOILER. Even the pic above is a spoiler, so too late for that one, sorry. If you want the purest possible joy of discovering the secret elements of C&C3, DON'T READ THIS.

Okay, that's the formalities dealt with. As everyone certainly knows, the third faction in C&C3 is the alien Scrin, called the Invaders by GDI and the Visitors by NOD. They show up about halfway through both human campaigns and dramatically turn the tide of battle - and in the interests of the plot we won't discuss exactly WHAT the aliens do to the humans or what internal ructions they inadvertently cause... or even whether the Scrin arrival is strictly a co-incidence.

After you've spent a good solid few hours blasting Scrin off the map in both the GDI and NOD campaigns, you're treated to an exciting new intro movie which is mercifully free of FMV and instead packed full of awesome alien interface graphics.


Welcome back Foreman. There seems to be a small amount of confusion. Rather than an Earth successfully seeded with what the Scrin called Ichor, the aliens are instead faced with an immature Ichor harvest and a planetful of angry indiginous inhabitants.
