Command & Conquer 3: Ярость Кейна

greatest game of all time still a solid community and thats after 20 years that tells you everything you need to know. I grew up with this game despite only now being 18 all my family have played it so its just right :)

its all fun and games until the scrin bust out air units and make you clinically depressed

Excellent game, well worth it if you get the Ultimate Bundle on sale.
For me, and many other people, the campaign just runs too fast, but Skirmish mode allows you to change the game speed. Even playing only skirmish this game is worth playing.

The greatest RTS a kid could play back when it came out, and still true 17 years later.

MISSILE SQUAD READY FOR COMBAT

One of the most visually satisfying RTS out there. I have yet to find another RTS that allows me to terrorize a military base with 3 trillion bikes.

Get this if you enjoy the macro aspect of RTS over microing your units. Just note that there is a 30 FPS cap that cannot removed. The game speed is tied to the framerate unfortunately.

Since when did EA do good things? Thanks for releasing the source code. Major kudos! Fantastic game so buy it.

Best C&C Game. If you like the others youl love this

Great game... now that we have workshop lets get this thing working good on modern systems

I played this game on my xbox 360 and just got it for pc while it was on sale.


100% worth it.

One of the best games I have ever played!

cnc online and gamerager and you can play online :)

You can play online again without any fancy process fully allowed by the publisher. Have fun online or with friends again playing a timeless RTS masterpiece of gaming that still holds it's own.

I have played this game for many years and particularly with mods. recently beginning this year the mods stopped working.

I always did like Command & Conquer, even when it first came out.

Instant buy if you enjoy RTS. The more "modern" C&C have Steam Workshop now therefore the community is going to be bring new content and life to these games. I am writing a review on Kane's Wrath because it is my favorite out of all the C&C games, but I write this with my highest recommendation.

Finally steam access to the game rather than that origin BS. And they all work!

Locked to 30 fps unless modded.

i love c&c kanes wrath but every time i play i have to sort out another issue. i spend more time trying to fix random crashes and bugs then i do actually playing the game.

fun and strategic

I was trying to play the command an conquers 3 Kane's Wrath so my kitties would have somethin to watch but the damn thing don't work. I got the kitties PC all set up and I cant connect to play with'em. The bastards sold me damn game that wont even play. Now the kitties are upset and I don't know what to do. I even got Rickey to take a shot at it and he couldn't do a damn thing.

"time to sale a game with multiplayer that has no multiplayer"- geniuses
spent 45 minutes trying to jump through hoops to play it online, not worth

This game is fantastic, i played this religiously back when it first released in 2008 and i always come back and play it every so often for the nostalgia. What an upgrade from tiberium wars. Maps are great, sound track is great, Factions and their Sub-factions great, Units are fantastic. Also for those i've seen who're mad about no multiplayer. You can play online through "C&C online", look it up and its pretty easy to set up.

MP doesn't work

Amazing RTS experience, great graphics, soundtrack, captivating gameplay. I love it!

It's basically Tiberium Wars on steroids

PEAK!
like the other game that i reviewed, it has 9 factions with so many different play styles and approaches unfortunately i dont have any friends to play this with but i promise this is the best and TW is the second imo.
10/10

Kane knows all! This game is worth the money, just need a couple downloads and you have the best RTS known to man.

This and Age of Empires 2 were the GOATs back in the day and still are. If you haven't played them before, do it. They don't make games like this anymore.

Great expansion!
It felt a little easier than the main game, but it was so much fun to play as the NOD again

9/10

Just a fun, random game to play when I'm bored... just like what I remember from my C&C days in the 90's.

good game to keep you busy when you need something different from regular gaming.

Finished the main campaign + bonus objectives on the hardest difficulty using the Steam Deck! Playing with the controller/track pad combo took some time to learn but it was worth it (I played this originally on the X360), can be played offline as well. Locked to 30fps and 10w TDP, you can play for 5+ hours even with heavy combat scenarios. Would recommend if you're a fan of the original RTS games.

лучшая ртс на всей планете

is it too much to ask to be able to change the resolution normally from the settings and not have it crash?

This game brings back childhood nostalgia. I bought the ultimate bundle during the discount, now I can play and I highly recommend this game to play except for Command & Conquer 4

Difficult at Times But Very Enjoyable

Playing since i was 5 or 6. probably gonna play till i'm dead

Fun Game. Easy to play.

Ah, yes. The expansions. Those sure changed with time. And when it's about C&C, it's even more interesting. I mean, C&C is a pretty old series. The one that started in times when the expansions were mostly a thing for people who just wanted more of exactly the same. Back in the DOS times, those were just extra floppies with some more missions on 'em. End of the story. Fine with hardcore fans, pretty boring for everybody else. And since the original C&C came out at the end of that era, all CDs and sh*t, it kinda caught that old thing too. The original game had mission CD called Covered Operations, Red Alert had not one, but two of those, and of course, the new missions were pretty good, but still, it was just that. More missions. No new story, no new cutscenes, nothing like that.

It all changed for the series when long-awaited Tiberian Sun arrived. Its Firestorm expansion, despite not having those expensive actors from the main game, had solid story with lots of cutscenes. If something, Firestorm events were at least as important as the Tiberian Sun itself. And now? Now it's time for us to get back to them. See, Kane's Wrath is not a sequel to the Tiberium Wars. Instead, it's a prequel that is supposed to serve as a bridge between Westwood's Firestorm and EA's C&C3. And even though usually I'm not really a fan of prequels, this time? This time it makes a lot of sense. Like, a lot. The problem with story in C&C3 was that it brought lots of questions. In a way, it didn't make sense at all and felt more like something from an alternative timeline than a proper sequel. Kane's Wrath? Kane Wrath is here to fix that.

The beginning of this expansion brings us back to the end of GDI's campaign in Firestorm. Nod is defeated, CABAL is destroyed and Kane's dead. Is he, though? That's... actually my biggest complaint about the Kane's Wrath story (aside from the fact that what we've got at its end is another cliffhanger). While aiming to clarify things to us, the expansion still doesn't say anything about Kane directly. I know, I know, it's a C&C thing. Not telling too much, I mean. Keeping things unsaid. But at this point it's starting to feel ridiculous. I mean, was it that hard to properly explain things for a change? It was 2009! Many people forgot about Firestorm's ending long ago, while many others didn't even play it at all. Yet here we are. Having “new” Kane posing as “old” Kane. With no explanation whatsoever. Thankfully, aside from that, Kane's Wrath does surprisingly nice job explaining to us what happened in C&C3. All of those “Wait, what? Why?” moments are properly explained and if something, the story here is better than what we had in the main game. There's a catch, though.

While the main game's campaign had 38 missions in it (17 missions per faction, plus 4 missions long bonus campaign for Scrin), this expansion only has 13. And we can only play as Nod. That's right, for the very first time in history the campaign offers us only one side of the conflict. Like... what? I know, it's called Kane's Wrath, while all factions got new units (some of which are so fat that it makes things to feel a lot like kaijū battle), but come on! Seriously? Sounds like a joke to me. Thankfully, there's something to make us all feel better about that. And it's time for us to remember another game from the past – C&C Generals. Remember its challenge mode? The one that was planned for the original game but didn't arrive until the expansion called Zero Hour? That's exactly what we've got here. At least on Xbox 360, because so-called “Kane's Challenge” mode is exclusive to consoles (despite C&C3 being a cross-platform game, console version had its differences), while here, on PCs we've got Global Conquest. Which is... something entirely different. Ever wondered how C&C will do in the Total War environment? Global map and sh*t? Global Conquest is pretty much it.

The global map there is turn-based. We build bases and we create so-called “strike forces”. A movable squads that contain multiple units. If such squad has mobile construction vehicle (MCV) in it, it can build a new base in its vicinity. If it doesn't, it's only good to attack things. Naturally, strike forces' moves are limited, don't expect them to cross, like, the entire map in one turn. Also, everything in Global Conquest mode can only do one task per turn. Bases, for example, may upgrade to the next tier to get access to better strike forces, or (for example) improve their defenses. Tiberium is there too, of course (every base generate a certain amount of income per turn), which means we should think carefully where to build. Now. When it's about Total War, there's another part of gameplay – the actual battles. Right? Well, as you can easily guess, those are presented in Global Conquest mode too and, of course, those are pretty much our usual C&C thing. In other words, we've got same old C&C3, but with the global strategy elements now. Which, I think, was a great idea. I mean, series had global map elements since very beginning, since Dune II times. And while back in the days we were only able to choose where to strike (which determined our next mission), it was only logical for a global map to evolve into something bigger. I mean, this here? It's the future. Is it perfect, though? Well...

The problem with Global Conquest is that it's... clunky as heck. No, seriously, it feels painfully cheap. It's way too limited, way too repetitive, it gets old pretty soon, playing every single battle manually may take ages, while auto-resolve feature is full of loopholes and you can easily trick the computer when you learn about how it “thinks”. It's just... It's not fun. Enough. If you know what I mean. If something, I had more fun simply facing one enemy after another in Kane's Challenge. Not like Global Conquest was bad, it was just... more like proof of concept than a real thing. But of course, we'll see it all fixed and improved in the next game, right? Right? *SIGH* Yes, I'm doing Padmé's face, while writing this.

Let's not think about C&C4 for now, though. Kane's Wrath is... Like I said, in many ways it's disappointing. It tries to do Firestorm thing with less expensive actors and stuff, but fails to deliver the length. It tries to explain things to us, but fails to achieve that half of a time too. It introduces us to the revolutionary new mode, but fails to provide both quality and depth. And since the official multiplayer is long dead (again, there's still a way to play this game online thanks to some third-party software)... You know how it is. Not letting us buy separate titles was a weird decision on EA's side, but in a way, their Ultimate Collection does make sense. Things like Kane's Wrath in their current state are something you buy as a part of $19.88 bundle and then play for nostalgia or history purpose. And let me tell you, history-wise, it's very important for us to remember Kane's Wrath. Because, while being far from perfection, it marks a point, at which series started to think about the next big step. While playing it smart, EA managed to save C&C for some time. The next-gen version of the 1995 game worked for a moment, but time didn't stand still and there was a need for something new. Kane's Wrath offered us its vision. Did EA follow it? Well, that's the story for another day.

Regardless of how you may feel about the changes from Tiberian Sun to the 3rd game, it is undeniable that both Tiberium Wars and this Expansion are very fun games that never let you get tired of playing them!

And the mod community has a lot to offer to these two games as well! From full blown reconstructions like Tiberium Essence, to simpler and more humble mods like custom additional maps. No matter what, you can only expand your fun time with these games! ^_^
(plus, for those still missing the old days, Tiberian Sun and Firestorm are finally available on Steam, so... 8D )

Fun yet it can be challenging at times.

The last great C&C ever released, sadly.

Nice to play to this day. Shame they didn't make any other game like this anymore...

Disappointing, cannot play with others unless you go through loopholes as game thinks everyone has the same serial through Steam.

Great old RTS. Really holds up.

Flame thrower go BRRRRRRR

This is a great game from the golden age of RTS. The character models are a great example of gritty scifi. They didn't go too cartoony like Starcraft 2 did.

My Alltime Favourite RTS, With Beautiful Graphics and Zoom Out Mod, this game is a Joy to Play... shame about the Locked Framerate but hey.

Each of the few times I have Built a New PC this is the First Game I Install and Keep Installed from back when the Game Come out to My New Self Built Custom Rig in 2024.

So Many Hours of Fun in Skirmish Alone, one Day I Will Play The Campaign😁

Both this and SUPREME COMMANDER 1&2 arey go to RTS games.👌🏾

C&C kanes wrath is a nice blend of new and old
