'''Please only put examples here that cover multiple series, or ''C&C'' in general. Those pertaining to the individual series go on their respective pages.'''

* [[Broken Base]]: There is a small but very dedicated and fanatical group of the Command & Conquer fandom who insist that the only real games were made before Westwood was bought out by EA Games. You are '''not''' allowed to like any game released after Red Alert 2 and are expected to declare war on EA.<br /><br />With the release of C&C 4, it appears they have found a common enemy in EA.
* [[Complete Monster]]:
** The GLA pretty much cements themselves as utter monsters after the ending of their campaign and in the very first mission of the USA campaign.
** A good half of the Soviet characters throughout the RA series count as well.
*** Most notably there's Yuri, [[Despotism Justifies the Means|who only used the Soviets to start the war with that Allies so he could construct his psychic dominators and mind control the entire planet.]]
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: Virtually all the ''Command & Conquer'' games have at least one track which will make you praise Frank Klepacki and the other composers, be it the classic [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RJQPlPE2yQ "Act on Instinct,"] any incarnation of "Hell March," the [[Angry Mob Song|GLA themes]], or [[Ominous Latin Chanting|the Shogun Executioner theme (ok, it's Ominous Japanese Chanting, but still...) ]], or [[Villain Song|the soundtracks used in the trailers of Nod and the Scrin]]... well, let's just say that ''C&C'' [[Command
** Say what you will about CnC4 as a game, but it has [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcUOs0RHAU0&playnext_from=TL&videos=B3WMog957JE some stunningly evocative music].
* [[Ear Worm]]: ''Countless'', including "C&C Thang" from the original and "Hell March" from the ''Red Alert'' series.
Line 33:
** The MARV from Kane's Wrath is a giant tank that can garrison four infantry, fires sonic grenades from a three-barreled cannon, can instantly harvest tiberium, and with the right combination of infantry is nigh unstoppable.
*** It can also self-heal (with the right infantry on board) and survive a direct hit from a nuke.
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]:
** The ending of the 1st GLA campaign and in the first USA mission certainly place the GLA as a [[Complete Monster]] faction.
** The Soviets do it even BETTER. They cross the MEH roughly THREE SECONDS into the first cutscene of the first game. Or more accurately, even BEFORE the game begins which you learn of within the first three seconds of their first cutscene, where Stalin and his subordinates are discussing the effects of Sarin gas upon a few unfortunate civilian "test subjects." Right before ordering you to raze a Polish village to the ground and kill everyone that inhabits it. [[Serial Escalation|They get worse as the game goes on.]] Given that this is Stalin, this is [[Truth in Television]].
