Line 12:
* [[Action Bomb]]: Fanatics - suicide bombers used by Nod.
* [[Airstrip One]]: The world, since it's been divided into "Blue", "Yellow" and "Red" zones.
* [[Alien Invasion]]: {{spoiler|[[Invoked]] by Kane}} with the Scrin. Except it's
* [[Aliens Steal Cable]]: The Scrin use a satellite news broadcast to learn English; it takes them less than 10 seconds. It [[Chekhov's Gun|comes in mighty handy]] when they
* [[Attack Drone]]/[[Mecha-Mooks]]: The Scrin "army" (actually an escort for the mining fleet) seems to be composed of automated troops commanded by Scrin Foremen in spaceborne Motherships. All of their units and even their buildings immediately shutdown and decompose once their {{spoiler|Relay Node is destroyed}}.
* [[Bread and Circuses]]: Nod for the people in the
* [[Crapsack World]]: Tiberium's effect on the Earth are so damaging that by 2047, 20% of Earth surface is uninhabitable to humans, and most of it remains dangerous to humans. And this is actually better conditions than the previous game...
* [[Despair Event Horizon]]: The Scrin attempt to pull this off in their "invasion" by deliberately attacking cities and monuments. Doesn't work.
* [[Didn't See That Coming]]: {{spoiler|In ''Kane's Wrath'', Kane's reaction when Alexa says she set up Kilian Qatar is genuine ''surprise''.}}
** Humanity {{spoiler|except Kane}} definitely never expected the Scrin to show up. While the Scrin in turn never expected [[Humans Are Warriors|humanity's response]] either.
* [[Family-Friendly Firearms]]: As a result of continuity error in the [[Novelization]]: suddenly, Nod grunts are using laser rifles!
* [[Game Mod]]: A number of notable ones have popped up over the years.
** ''[http://www.moddb.com/mods/cc-3-the-forgotten The Forgotten]'' brings back the tiberium-mutated faction from ''[[Command and Conquer Tiberian Sun]]'', complete with its own fleshed-out campaign and full-motion video cutscenes.
** ''[http://www.moddb.com/mods/tiberium-essence Tiberium Essence]'' overhauls the entire game to be much more like an updated ''Tiberian Sun'' while keeping the general premise intact, with new abilities and units ([[Humongous Mecha|including the Mammoth Mk. II]]).
** ''[http://www.moddb.com/mods/mideast-crisis-2 Mideast Crisis 2]'', a sequel to a ''[[Command and Conquer Generals]]'' mod involving a near-future conflict in the Middle East.
* [[The Hypnotoad]]: Scrin Masterminds and their advanced Traveler-59 cousins, the Prodigies.
* [[Hollywood Science]]: in the [[Novelization]] of ''Tiberium Wars'', radioactive rainwater kills plants and trees within minutes while leaving the rest of the landscape, including the people who live in the area, unaffected. ''Radiation does not work that way.''
Line 31 ⟶ 37:
* [[Novelization]]: There is one , but it's full of [[Hollywood Tactics]] and [[Did Not Do the Research]]. Thankfully, there is one [[Fanfic]] author [[Tiberium Wars|trying to fix that.]]
* [[Peace Through Superior Firepower]]: GDI just prior to ''Tiberium Wars''. They have dozens, if not hundreds, of ion cannons orbiting the Earth, ready to blow any baddies off the face of the planet. And that's not counting their nigh-indestructible railgun-armed Mammoth tanks.
* [[Perspective Flip]]: The campaigns generally follow the same line of events, albeit told through GDI, Nod and the Scrin's perspectives.
* [[Starfish Aliens]]: The Scrin. So alien in fact, that we don't even know how they ''look'' like. All we get is the shimmering, cephalopoidal avatar of the Supervisor during his Warp-Link transmissions.
* [[Suicide Attack]]: Nod Fanatics are suicide bombers hopped up on Tiberium infusions and religious zeal.
