Nexus Mod Preview Released
Exarch is back to resume work on his Nexus mod again, and he's uploaded a preliminary test release for people to try out. This tech demo includes a couple of fighters and capships for both the Confederation and Kilrathi. Only a very basic AI has been implemented and fighter mechanics still have a handful of bugs, but the preview should give people an early idea of what to expect when more elements are completed. Nexus owners should download this pack (56 megs) and unzip the contents to the Mods folder of the Nexus directory on their computers. Select WC Apocalypse from the modifications menu in the game to play.
Just fair warning, the AI in skirmish missions is as dumb as a brick. I'm working on trying to modify it to acting more appropriately, but I haven't had experience with the scripting language. Thus, for this release, don't expect much in the way of a challenge, unless you're playing against another human. This is just to show the ships in action, more or less, and give you a sense of what is to come.

Command & Conquer 3 Ships
The PC version of Command & Conquer 3 should begin hitting stores on Tuesday. This classic franchise recently went back to its roots with the rerelease of many classic titles in the series. The new game's lavish use of live actors in high quality video cutscenes has given many Wingnuts hope that future Wing Commander titles will also feature big Hollywood productions. Whether or not more FMV really does lie in the future, EA's continued investment in its big hits of the mid 1990s is a good sign all around. A demo is available, and initial reviews seem very positive. An XBox 360 release is also expected in early May.
Fast and fluid gameplay, a breakthrough single player campaign, the ability to transform online battles into a spectator sport, next-generation graphics, and an epic story with full-motion video sequences featuring top Hollywood talent, mark the return of the critically-acclaimed Command & Conquer(TM) series.
...Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars(TM): Kane Edition is a definitive collectible for any Command & Conquer or Real-time Strategy fan and will feature an enormous amount of exclusive content including a bonus DVD with a behind the scenes documentary, deleted scenes, a blooper reel, a series of gameplay strategy videos, and more.
