The return of EA's classic strategy series, Command & Conquer, will be hitting PC next year in the form of Tiberium Wars, and we've got the first screenshots right here.
C&C 3 takes the RTS to the Tiberium conflict in 2047 as the self-replicating extra-terrestrial matter is slowly infecting the earth. The evil Brotherhood of NOD sees this as an opportunity to seize control of the planet, something which the GDI - a high-tech alliance of nations - wants to prevent.
The new game features the same fast-paced tactical action as before, but now the Tiberium universe has been given a visual overhaul which, combined with added strategic depth, takes the C&C series to a whole new level. Combine units to customise your force, build mobile bases to keep the enemy guessing then take your tactics online to battle against the best in the world.
