"Mom! Why is it when I try to watch TV I keep getting GDI and NOD symbols?! Can't I just learn about nature and watch a guy drink motor oil in peace?"
At least your mother tipped well... which is why she gets no interference in her TV broadcasts.
I think that was an energy drink that was packaged in something that looks like a bottle of motor oil. Great marketing idea actually.
@@Zoomer30 Ever since I was a kid playing this on my Saturn I was convinced it was motor oil.
@@nal101 but Kids dont make their own money
Seth: A mission so secret that even Kane doesn't know about it.
Kane: I'm sitting right next to you.
If you actually look up the lore of Kane, he is cursed to be betrayed, to suffer betrayal as he did to Able. It explains everything.
"Yes... Power shifts more quickly than some people think." God that intro of Kane was amazing.
11:56
That scares me...
Kane had some great introductions on the Nod campaigns. C&C2 especially. All those chanting "Kane lives in death", and then he shows up on the screen "KANE LIVES!" and the cheering just erupts.
I love the way Seth gets more and more sassy as you gain prestige xD
He's more than a little jealous of the player...
@@julesmcgrules3860 I've also heard he animated his own death.
It's ironic because Kane seemingly doesn't even know about you until Seth brings you up to him in one of the previous missions.

Man this game was brilliant. It wasn't just that the game itself was an innovative masterpiece, but everything about the story and what they did was just incredible. It's genius. It puts the modern industry to shame.
So true - I still prefer C&C to most other RTS games.
@@FrankCastle-tq9bz I came from starcraft, i was presented by generals, i love CNC now.
Yeah
What has changed? After taking the nostalgia goggles off, almost all games were trash back then, too. It's no different than TV, movies, music: some gems amidst the rest of ENDLESS TRAAAAAAASH!
@@Turtleproof Off the top of my head, the current industry would NEVER tackle political issues the way this game did. But I do agree with your point that you remember the gems. Still.. I stand by that they don't make them like they used to, as well
I love how, as you accrue victories, Seth gradually gets more upset as he sees his favor with Kane slipping.
Seth's favour isn't decreasing, but you are becoming more and more of a competitor.
I like to imagine you're just some random guy watching on your computer and you randomly get GDI or NOD signal and get mistake for the new commander.
Playing this for the first time that's honestly how I felt I had no idea how to command anything
That's kinda the feeling that you get watching Red alert 2's install sequence
Kane: "Yes... Power shifts more quickly than some people think." 12:06
Kane is so badass! He's one of my favorite video game villain... Maybe even my favorite one.
Kane was one of the greatest Super-villains ever created, and his method may be brutal, but we never got to see if his plans fulfilled his promises....
azmanabdula Yeah sadly there was never a Command & Conquer 4. Maybe we could have gotton some closure.. unfortunately no such game exists, sad.
Jasper Banks
That game does not exist...
It was horrible....
azmanabdula
I don't know what you're talking about... are you talking about a theoretical game? a game that never existed, which is horrible? ill just assume that's what you meant.
***** I did read into that, but what about his plans for tiberium?
***** Alright in gonna drop what I think should of happened, or what did happen. Kane is an alien from a different planet, once upon a time his race was rekt by the scrin, he and some others escaped he found earth. He goes through the portal to travel back to his home planet, where scrin portals have already been built. The planet abandoned, the reclamation begins and his followers colonize the new world. Maybe he uses his races's technology to get back at the scrin somehow. The thing that makes zero sense is that the tiberium is somehow dissapearing, which doesnt make sense. What, a portal fires off and that stops tiberium?, its such an Ex Machina.
11:33 You know damn well that Seth was setting you up here. If you failed, you'd likely die in the attack. If you by some miracle succeeded, Kane would be royally pissed and Seth would have said you did this on your own and tossed you to the wolves. He was planning on getting rid of you. Thankfully, Kane saw your worth and intervened personally.
But why say 'power shifts quickly in the Brotherhood' which was a death sentence from Kane..he could have lied about the whole thing and said the orders came from above and you would never know the difference. It seems like he did actually want to usurp Kane as well.
@@anwarsiddiqi5935 He thought Kane wasn't listening...the fool.
i mean this is more that it was hiw on fool's errand
Seth would still win if you got captured by enemy scientists
Sending nod troops to the lion dent was a suicide mission.
The possibilities of Tiberium...Are limitless....
I suppose that's correct
Much as Kane believes that tiberium is our future, by this time he does not have positive proof that tiberium can be properly used because the idea of people being mutated and living hasn't really become a theory yet, just a hypothesis.
@@boxtank5288 Two Words: Project Regenesis
I just realized there was a distant clacking sound right after Seth says "Power shifts quickly in the Brotherhood", which was likely Kane either opening/closing a door, or loading his gun.
Anyone find old footage of news readers (even fictional ones like this) amazing about how calm and level they are when talking about the news?
I saw Joseph Kucan live at the C&C 4 Presentation at gamescom in cologne, He is one of the funniest and nicest guy i ever Seen! Great man. And He was only the voice director.
This was my first RTS ever! Besides the gameplay, I always wanted to beat every mission to check the small scenes after them. This was the game that made me have desire to learn english. In my heart forever, C&C and Westwood.
"Peace through power" was one of my first English sentences. The look on my teacher's face..
I've always won arguments with girls by saying "at least your mother tipped well!"
Greg Lytle Hah
C&C Tiberian Room.
There seems to be a double meaning, but not sure what it is?
Get the fuck outta here with that shit. You've never spoken to a woman in your life.
@@AarenJable projection
10:27 during this mission, I imagine a little message popping up on the screen that says "Warning: Significant GDI presence detected in this region. You have been deceived!"
I miss Westwood Studio.
Tiberian Sun would have been even better if they had time to finish it. Not mentioning the unfinished Tiberian Incursion that was never completed… EA Games didn't respect the old theme.
Yea especially since Tiberian Sun still made it to become my favorite. But I wished to see what wouldve happened with a few months more development time

4 years and you didn't figure out how to spell Kane properly.
At 16:33 you can see that Kane's gun does not have a magazine loaded. So this leads me to believe it's a real gun but they were exercising some caution while filming. He loads the gun at the end of the briefing.
recover at least he didn't shoot the guy with empty gun.
Mafon2 lolz
***** Well, Duh!
+recover Kane could of been cleaning his gun.
+recover You can still fire a weapon without a magazine as long as there is a round in the chamber.
Everybody always chooses Paris. I pranked my aunt in choosing one capital without telling her why. Her eyes lamost popped out when she saw the Eiffel Tower blowing up, lol.
“Which country do you hate the most, homer, France or Italy?”
“France”
“No one ever says Italy”
"and don't worry about any GDI forces. Intelligence tells me there are just a few scientists lurking about"
Seth seems to have forgotten about the giant fully functional GDI base in that mission
He’s trying to set you up for failure, hence why Kane shoots him later
Never played the game and even I knew. If it was like that why would they send you to do it?
@@ulyssespulido9556 I was a kid when I first played this. Being young and inexperienced, I foolishly believed Seth when he told me not to worry about enemy forces
@@jimhuffman9434 That must of been bad. The moment of realization when you realized you been tricked.
I think this was done specifically to test our ability to adapt to difficult situations.
Kane: Whats your least favorite country. Italy or France
Homer: France
Kane: No one ever says italy
@Ann Nifödova Seems to be a reference to the Simpsons and how the player decided to destroy the Eiffel Tower in this playthrough.
@Ann Nifödova It's the episode where Homer gets a job working for Hank Scorpio. I think it's called 'You Only Move Twice'.
Scorpio what a boss gives u everything a home 🏡 a job what a boss I wish I worked for him. Love that episode and the episode with the Screamapiller.
@@DAv2003 Yea love that episode. I wish I worked for him.
Aaron McIntosh the frying game sucks are you high

That's Daniel Kucan, Joe Kucan's (Kane's) brother in reality. The woman is his girlfriend.
***** Yeah, really. There was an AMA for the Kucan brothers, where some person asking who the guy slapping the woman was during the intro, and they answered that it was Daniel Kucan and his girlfriend.
Daniel Kucan also played a few other roles in Tiberian Dawn/Red Alert/Tiberian Sun (e.g. McNeil's brother who defects to Nod).
Benjin Pratt Was he also the Nod supporter who was there reporting the Ion cannon strike on temple prime in Tiberium wars?
BonafideBarnabus ' Yes, I think so.
+BonafideBarnabus ' He was in C&C4 as well in one of the endings (Nod I think).
And I think he was a Steel Talon member in Kane's Wrath.
I think she is his wife now.
Joseph Kucan was born for this role. He has a theater group here in Vegas. Seemed friendly I was too stoned and star struck to talk to him. This was 6 years ago. The theater group is called Public US.
kane was the best accident in gaming history :)
What I enjoyed about Nods campaign was that it was obviously more difficult than GDI, but that over time your arsenal got more powerful and tactical - using stealth tanks to distract the enemy base whilst light tanks and flame tanks took down main defences. Couple that with the obelisk of light's power and building one near a captured structure within their base made for a satisfying guerrilla campaign.
The hardest mission is that level where Seth says find the detonator and get out of you can
In that mission you had to go 8nto the gdi base and have one of your troops blast down one of the fences and one of them must grab it but if that same soldier dies then you're screwed and you have to leave the base as they are well conquering your units
@@fargeeks Actually I completed it in very short time.I think Nod8 got me crazy
Yes, Kane is so awesome. I still want more of him!
1:52 What amazed me is the fact they put a scene of an Arabic artist! My own language!
If Kane's goal for this whole war was just get on the internet, why didn't he just hit up an internet cafe?
haha, back in the day when the internet was a new high tech mystery.
And a defence project btw.
This was made before the advent of the internet cafe - most people didn't have net access back then and most of those who did have access had to use dial-up modems.
Rimethurse dial up bro
Westwood lives in death!
There is a certain degree of truth in that - the original Westwood creations are far more popular than anything EA created after taking control of the franchise.
Westwood lives in our hearts.
Westwood was tha bomb! EA destroyed the game...
The Pentagon is swarming with GDI battle mechs… Seth was sending you on a suicide mission
Damn, this ending should have been canon. Imagine being the GDI in the second game trying to win back the public's trust after the Ion Cannon leveled one of the four capitals of the GDI.
There's a 3rd party mod (now a standalone game) for tibsun called twisted insurrection, go Google it.
2 years, but that's always been my biggest complaint with Westwood (RIP). They never have the villains win, which makes them seem like pathetic Saturday morning cartoon villains- ineffective and weak. Furthermore, it makes the good guys seem incompetent for never actually neutralizing the enemy completely, allowing them to come back yet again.
XCOM2 did a great job showing how a sequel going off of the bad ending can make for an interesting POV from the usual "good guys win, but oh man the bad guys are back again oh geez oh wow zip zop zoopity zow however did this happen?"
@@om3ga109 Warcraft 1 and Starcraft: Brood War had the bad guys win canonically. It made the game more interesting when you know you're the bad guy, and you either run down the good guys who are not so good, or other bad guys.
@@om3ga109 Actually, Westwood did have the bad guy win. C&C: Red Alert 1 is actually the prequel of Command and Conquer and it explains how Nod become a superpower by taking over the USSR. The Allied route is where the timeline branch out to make Red Alert its own series (theoretical, since its possible that Nod still take over USSR in all subsequent title, just that their plan got delayed and wasn't shown explicitly like in Red Alert 1), so at least in relation of Tiberium, USSR ending is canon.
@@13gan Nope, actually both Red Alert 2 and Tiberian Dawn come from the Allied Ending of Red Alert 1.
The original Command & Conquer 3 was to feature a mission where it would be revealed that Yuri was a Nod Acolyte, part of a psychic project, until he was flung into the past by a Chrono Vortex, creating the Red Alert 2 timeline.
There was also a project of a Renegade game set after Red Alert 2, where, from the defeated Soviet Union, Nod iconography and architecture started showing up.
Not to mention, it would make no sense that the Soviet ending is canon in the Tiberium timeline, because that would mean Nod would have an iron-fist control over Europe, which it doesn't have in Tiberian Dawn.
Goddamnit Kane! I wanted to attack the Pentagon!
+Adam Markowski You can't. The game don't have urban map. Your main focusing is Africa to wipe out GDI presence.
+Kenneth Yu Yes, I know, although when I first played this game I was like 7-9 year old, didn't had all the mechanics figured out yet, and I was pretty damn sure I'm about to witness new enviroment! Big city instead of all those empty spaces! Aaaaand... nope, not at all, just Kane shooting poor Seth.
And few games later you still couldn't destroy it....well excluding Red alert 2....ohh in Tiberium wars you had to defend it..laaame gimmie that Pentagon mission in this game!
@@AdamMichalMarkowski being absolutely Fair, Seth wanted you to die so that's why he planned to have you go against impossible odds and thusly die.
Have to wait until C&C3 for that, dude.
Seth: This is a pentagon, a full front attack with a strong attack with their military center of (bang).
Kane: Yes, Seth I guess your fired.
Decades ago, when I was 12-13 and first played this, Kane was the man that I wanted to be when I 'grew up'.
There's something about how he's presented, the way he speaks, his body language and the grand scale of his plans that even now seems very..... like you're in the presence of a legend in the making.
I read that he was one of the lead programmers of the game
His real name is Joseph
the number of times i jumped at the imagery behind Kane is ridiculous. Never thought i would see owl eyes so creepy.
Marcia Swayze had it going on.
“And unequal positrons” remember that for physics exam. You’ll really impress em

12:15 "Seth? He got coffee for me once I think" - Kane
Brings back memories. One of the greatest game I've ever played. Now the series got too complicated.
It truly is a memorable game. I, too, thought the story had gone a little off track, but when I sat down and read more into the story, it became obivious that it's build on christianity. Despite being an religious based story, it's hella good. And kane is one amazing actor!
i agree, they really did a great job on the mission back story and yeah the actors did good to the characters also
also when kane talks i like that background sound !
I didn't notice until now that this game released in the 90's put scanlines on Kane's background but not his image, implying Shepard and he have advanced tech. Brilliant.
thank you for posting this, back when I had the CD's my Nod one was scratched killing all the FMV's on the second half of their campaign, it's nice to finally be able to watch them
For Kane! The Technology of Peace!
I'd love to have an extended ambient sound of Kane's office in his cutscenes
This was Command & Conquer before EA took over.
#JustSayNo
Was so much better back then!
@14:00 Kane is a terrible let's player. He just keeps talking over the cut scenes, jeeze louis!
It's a retsupurae.

It's kind of smashing to hear all those old time classic game sounds planted into the intro scene... For example, the "goofy" laughing on the children's channel I've heard in numerous other instances too, at least in the Legend of Kyrandia -games. ^_^ Absolutely nostalgic.
That Nod campaign was really difficult.
+Rhsims Yeah, Nod hardly ever gave you the chance to start a base in a decent area. It was all having to capture the enemy base or win missions with a very small force or finding your base or whatever. I think C & C 3 tried to recreate that type of campaign for Nod, but on a not-as-difficult scale
Hm...Nod campaign is not difficult...but its about different style. GDI - classic gameplay, search and destroy. NOD is about stealth, terrorism, capturing enemy buildings a resources.."hit and run" style.
GDI and fast? Airdrop is slower, but Nod units are cheaper = faster building. So it's pretty much the same...Grenadiers are great, but Nod flamethrower is deadly (instant-multi killer)...unfortunately for friendly infantry too....AI is real motherfucker cheater. .but its dumb..No formations, chaotic attacks...and airstrikes are funny ( AI always bombing northern unit or building, so you dont need SAM sites...just one tank or buggy and good place).
you haven't master the God mode that is building sand bags
Nod by military theory is suppose to be harder. GDI is a professional military that relies on Technology. Firepower is better. Nod on the other hand is more of a mixed between professional and militia, I am not sure why Kane choose to do this but each theater of war operates on its own reporting only to Kane instead of a unified command structure so each General in Nod has no knowledge of other Nod officers in other areas and thus they are relying on them selves. Even though Nod is TECHNICALLY technologically superior than GDI, they rely on numbers and hit and run in order to win which is why Nod campaign is traditionally harder.
Kane Lives!
Check it out, William Swartz and ***** .
Not so sure on this my friend
William Swartz
Oh, okay.
These cut scenes are so great. i dont Think they are cheesy as people say.
i never made that far to see the guy get executed by kane, much less ever heard kane's voice, and THAT is how he sounds like? i always pictured kane with the voice of steve austin or the guy who said "ive got a present for ya"
+GAMESYSTEMHUNTER
He is the quiet lunatic in the corner, secretly honing his wits and blade, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. That is what is most disquieting about Kane.
Joseph Kucan deliberately plays down Kane to appear normal, save for a few moments of pure, uncontrolled rage -- making Kane a true psychopath. It takes a lot of self-control to play the role of a gigantic character like Kane in a reserved, quiet manner, but Kucan pulls it off brilliantly. You almost convince yourself that he is a normal person, then he goes and puts a bullet in some girl's ribcage like he was making his coffee. (see the final Soviet scene in CnC: Red Alert)
For example: Jeffery Dahmer was so calm and collected, he managed to talk a cop out of searching his car, which was stuffed with human body parts.
That beggening brought back so many good memories. Miss you Westwood.
I never realised stefan molyneux got his ideas and even his looks from this game
"Nod is evil? That's not an argument."
aw, back when Command and conquer wasnt all convoluted and crappy.
@k10a06p2000 tiberian incursion IS a mod?
That credits song..
Beautiful
21:05 It's such a small scene in the whole original game, but I loved this.
I like how Seth just gets progressively more and more passive aggressive at you😂
Some mafia shit isn't it?
Sweet merciful fuck, it's been 20 years and that laugh at 01:36 still gives me the creeps - that's the sound I imagine a killer clown makes when skinning a child in his basement.
Clowns and Circus music: The stuff of nightmares!
idiotic laugh, scary tv program
12:13 Kane: I don't like a risky one...
In the cutscene at 5:45 you can hear the sound used for the nuclear device in James Bond Goldfinger in the background :D
Can't wait to see 1:33 in remastered glory.
A fantastic game, loved playing it back in the 90's. The remaster isn't bad either.
Having Odo play Moebius and generally disregarding this dude's portrayal, accent, and appearance is a definite plus for CNC Renegade
Oh yeah!! How amazing it was in my 1996! And the song in the end
Seth sounds a bit like Ian from Forgotton Weapons which is slightly worrying lol
Imagining Ian explaining and testing Nod weaponry has vastly improved my day. Imagine the hats!
And this was the prequel to Twisted Insurrection!
21:10 am I the only one digging that cool digi-tune it makes? Someone should get a track going with that on it.
Fuck I just got unbelievably nostalgic. Went on Amazon to buy this game immediately then saw your video description. Perfect, thanks.
Huh, I came into this franchise via Tiberian Sun, and Kane's remarkably down to earth in this game @.@
"If you're detected you fail, If you fail you die" (4:00) - join NOD now!!
Thanks for this. I completed the GDI campaign, which has a different ending but never did complete the NOD missions due to getting stuck on one.
They are hard - even on the "easy" setting they are difficult.
1:35 car oil?
Yes, I am thinking those intro scenes are making fun of the 90's. I mean you basically see every type of TV show during the 90's.
Cyberspace was crazier in the 90s
Seth was converted into a Logistics Servitor with tiberium injections
The actor for Kane, his acting style reminds me of Tom cruise and sorta has a resemblance of Tom also..
I miss you westwood!!!!! days when C&C were great!!!!! like my most treasured games liek the gold colored Zelda and Adv of LInk for nes.

7:48 I freaking realized that is the same sound effect as the protoss pylon from Starcraft BroodWar, don't tell me has anyone not notice this! and are pylons really are the Tiberium themselves?
I dont think that's the same sound effect. The pylons were more high glistening sounding, this is more of a droning sound.
@@Amp661 it is the same sound effect, folks used pitching to have a different sound.
