Current Patch is 1.02 for Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars™. Get it from either the Control Centre or from EA Singapore
There are 2 versions of the game package, the Standard pack and the Kane Edition pack.
I have purchased the Kane Edition Pack and in its Tin DVD case consist of the following:
 |
The Game Disc (DVD Kane Edition) |
|
Bonus DVD content |
|
The manual |
|
The tech tree sheet |
|
The shortcut sheet |
The Kane edition exclusively includes:
|
Unit skins for all three factions plus five multiplayer/skirmish maps |
|
Five desktop wallpapers |
|
"Behind the Lines" documentary showcasing the creation of the live-action cinematics |
|
Five Command & Conquer strategy videos with tips and tactics from the designers themselves |
|
Deleted scenes and blooper reel from the live-action shoot |
The standard pack will not have the bonus DVD content plus exclusive footage only available in the Kane Edition. And I believe that the main menu will not have Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars™ Kane Edition logo. Also the standard version comes in a normal plastic VCR packaging like the Zero Hour™ package.
The Main Menu of the Game when loaded up.
Game installation was a breeze. Using new protection (SecuRom7) the protection is no longer on the DVD Disc but rather in your game directory.
I was one of the lucky few to get the pre-order pack version of the Kane Edition. Even though it was a few days past the official launch event, where it was only exclusively redeemable at the launch event, it seems there are excess goodies and had been given to shops as part of the Kane Edition package.
Here are the goodies within:
(Only at the lauch, you will get the pack as what you want (GDI or NOD) plus other goodies like Scrinn keychain, collect all the shirts, more mousepad goodies and posters of the game)

The game has a new side, Scrinn, an alien race where it solely searches for Tiberium, and have much more technological advantages when it comes to tiberium.
Scrinn uses teleportation technology to 'summon' up buildings, units and 'vehicles'. They have very good alien support with high price. An example is the mothership that can be summoned for $5000. They also have better tiberium speed growth technology than NOD. Where NOD needs to pay $750 per spray of seeding tiberium, the Scrinn race has a building that it can build over the tiberium 'hole' to speed up the growth actively.
More updates to come!!! I have yet to properly finish the campaign and play skirmishes.
