QJ's Scrin for Dummies... - Image 1


Perhaps you remembered that odd little ET schoolbus (read: crashed alien ship) in Command and Conquer: Tiberian Sun that was identified as a "Scrin Ship." Yes, "Scrin" is their name, pain is their game. Electronic Arts LA Executive Producer Mike Verdu officially confirmed it to Gamespot, and they had a sneak peek at some of the units that comprise this new alien menace introduced to Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars.

And why are the Scrin here? They're here "because of the Tiberium."

Personally, as a GDI operative, I say: let them have it. And as a bonus, toss in a couple of Mammoth rail guns up their backside.

Scrin Units (note: name as given in the source; official name on release might differ):
  • Buzzers - anti-infantry "flying razor blades". Triple-bladed action for smooth, close shave.
  • Disintegrator drones - uses short-range cutting torches to disassemble (or disembowel) vehicles.
  • "Insect-like" Shock Troopers (hey, is this a Starship Troopers reference?)
  • Assimilator - their version of the Engineer
  • Mastermind - hey, isn't this thing in Yuri's Revenge? Besides taking over enemy units, this will also teleport friendly units (okay, Yuri didn't have that talent...)
  • Seeker Tank - fires plasma bursts at tanks and aircraft. Dual-purpose, baby.
  • Corrupter - spews liquid Tiberium. The "corrupter" name Mike used might have been indicative of what this thing does.
  • Devourer (tank) - guzzles Tiberium. No further elaboration on what else it does, how it attacks, or what it looks like, but the term "guzzles" brings SUVs to mind.
  • Annihilator tripod - those three-legged walking orbs of doom you saw in action. In case the vid doesn't work: they also bear a similar resemblance to a walking tower of terror in Half-Life 2.
  • Devastator warship - aerial artillery for the Scrin
  • Planetary assault carrier - you saw this in a screenie, remember? Say it with us: Protoss Carrier. Same principles of operation. Same results on the ground.
  • Rift generator (superweapon): will create a tear in the fabric of space and time that will warp structures and units into outer space.
And last, and certainly furthest from the least...
  • The Mothership, a city-sized, slow-moving ship that means "Game Over" for the player whose base it finally manages to reach. You know, like that scene from Independence Day where the aliens blast the crap out of the heart of NYC, LA, and DC with city-sized Frisbees With A Dorsal Fin of Doom. That can't be good.
