Ignore C&C4

Ignore C&C 4, pretend it never happened

Description
Retconn everything that happened in C&C 4, tell the story from the ending of Kane's Wrath with LEGION/CABAL, Kane and Scrin.

Positive effect
Can officially say that C&C 4 was a mistake, should not have happened and does not count. Will return respectability to the franchise and provide respect to developer studio.

Will provide the basis for a more logical series of events following the ending of Kane's Wrath and allow you to work in the good parts of C&C 4 into the game without completely destroying the core C&C gameplay.

Negative effect

I entirely agree that they should denounce the story of C&C4

The crawler system did have promise, but it was not implemented well. I feel that there are many options still open for how the crawler system can work however.

For instance, you start the match with a crawler and can build only Tier 1 units with it. It has a gun that equates to a Tier 2 weapon (to be able to almost easily destroy enemy Tier 1 units). For harvesting and credits however you need to build a mobile refinery. It could use things like drones that fly from it and each gather a small amount of tiberium that they deliver to the mobile refinery. This would give enough credits to support a Tier 1 army and your crawler.

To build Tier 2 and up units however you need to deploy the crawler and build a base (a natural progress in most games I'm assuming). From this base you can build stationary refineries that have a classic harvester. This harvester however can drop more tiberium in one go then the mobile refinery drone harvesters can in 2-3 go's. This is to support the need for additional credits for tech buildings, defensive structures, production structures, and of course Tier 2 + units.

And this is my theory

Damn... completely ignoring what happened in C&C 4? Where is the Chronosphere when you need it...

I know how to erase cnc4! The scrin threshold tower malfunctions and somehow it sends everyone back to the third TW, rewriting history

I know I'll be disagreed with, but TT is some shred of canon. The good news, however, is that there are some ways to fix it. The most ***-pully of them would be "side effect of the TCN was pretty much everybody wound up high from diluted (red) Tib exposure". Less ***-pully would be explanations as to why some things occured; IE, why Colonel James was able to pull what she did, why Kane seemingly left the implants open/couldn't use one himself (Personally, I think he just learned that hiding them in huge bases screaming "Messiah's secret plan" just didn't work out after TW1 and TW2). That can be answered and save some face. Hell, you could even show Nod in 'Ascension' and give them some nasty support tricks. I'm not saying like give them full-on goddamn 'toss archons, but some tricks to represent how they've "ascended" wouldn't be a bad idea if C&C 4 is used.

I'd actually look into the Bibiblical history of Cain a bit here if we plan on it.

Could have written more compelling arguments to be honest. Doubt anyone bothers with a rant like this.

I agree. C&C4 really was a mess in regards to the plot (and the gameplay but thats no the topic), the only options are to either reboot the whole Tiberium series, or remake the forth.

And as the OP says, please keep in mind what happened in the last games, SCRIN, LEGION whatnot. The fact that they were ignored was ridiculous, i mean a whole game, and an add-on build up those story arcs. then they were dropped? WTF?!
