Command & Conquer/Fridge: Difference between revisions

** It also makes MORE sense during the Allied Campgian as said President goes off to launch attacks as the Soviets with super weapons. This makes sense because since he's {{spoiler|an Imperial cyborg he was ordered to shoot at the Soviets and stop them from joining forces and get them fighting each other agian.}}

** In the Allied campaign in ''Yuri' Revenge'', after you go back in time, the war against the Soviet Union is won without you doing a single mission against them. At first, it seemed odd, until I realized - ''your earlier self'' was still around. The Allies found themselves with two commanders, so they sent one against Yuri, the other against the Soviets. Incidentally, this also means that there are [[Twin Threesome Fantasy|two Tanyas]].

* C&C 4 is the black sheep of the series, and Kane seems to be doing some very stupid things, such as seeming to leave the implants in the open. Then you realize; he left the implants relatively open because ''most of them are living 'normal' lives!'' That's right, he's putting his plan's keys in the least likely of places, people (such as Dr. Pascal) who are either going to be high on GDI's protect list, or can defend themselves (in this case, the player). Then you realize in the Nod campaign (whose events are generally canonical, as it ties into the GDI campaign), that {{spoiler|Colonel James is with Gideon to take down Nod; and James}} had Pascal tied up and gagged when she met him. That means that Gideon didn't get Pascal or the other implant holders at random or by idiocy on Kane's part; they were betrayed from the inside. It's dual layered, and it failed, but the fact that Kane learned not to put things in heavy Nod bases that are screaming "Kane's Big Scheme!" helps. To list; Tib Dawn: Temple Prime got ionized. Tib Sun: He aimed to fire a giant world-killing missile, expecting to be able to stop GDI. He can't stop GDI. Tiberium Wars: He tricks GDI into 'winning' the war to get his goals. Tiberian Twilight: He does his best to avoid putting his keys in places that you'd expect the [[Dark Messiah]] to keep it. Further brilliance occurs with the Motion Comic; Kane mentions that the device he wants {{spoiler|Peirce}} to recover is "protected against [his] kind", and it's a key to "Ascension." The implants were the key. The basic design of the implants was basically taken from something that isn't supposed to be used by people like Kane, so that's why he couldn't use it. Doesn't excuse everything, but it makes a lot more sense than just it was a bunch of flukes. - [[User:Luke Danger]]

* Not sure if this should go here or under "Game Developers", but when this troper read an [http://cnc.wikia.com/wiki/Command_%26_Conquer:_Incursion article] describing Westwood's original plans for C&C3, including a plot point where a Nod psychic named Yuri is accidentally sent back in time via chronosphere, he wondered why EA didn't include this brilliant plot point in their version of the game. Then it hit him: tying the two Westwood franchises together would only serve to justify all the backlash EA recieved for Generals being called a "Command & Conquer" game. It's in EA's best interest to pretend all three series are completely distinct universes with no crossover whatsoever. - sirbacon

* While Red Alert plays most everything for laughs, when looks at how the USSR and Imperialist Japan treated people they conquered, and how [[All in The Manual|background material for Soviet units]] in Red Alert 3 indicates them crossing the [[Moral Event Horizon]] more than once, them wining in their campaigns would plunge the world into a cruel age of oppression and death, especially if the Empire of the Rising Sun won.
