Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars

Development

In 2006, EA asked scientists at The University of Massachusetts to produce professional research documents detailing the biological and physical makeup of Tiberium to add depth to the story.

According to Greg Black, the game was developed in 11 months.

German version

The German version of Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars contains two changes to the uncensored versions (including the German Kane Edition): the atom bomb is changed to "aurora bomb" and the Fanatics run away after detonating bombs instead of blowing themselves up.

Online servers

The game's online servers (which were hosted on GameSpy) were intended to be closed on 30 June 2014, like for other Electronic Arts titles in the wake of GameSpy's total closure. However, they remained online as late as 16 July 2014, when the login function stopped working.

For Xbox 360, the servers were shut down on 9 November 2022.

Sounds

The game contains death screams from the 1995 Command & Conquer, as well as the Wilhelm scream.
