Who here can't agree that NOD has won so far? GDI has an open ended campaign with an uncertain ending (much like NOD in the previous games) and many of the blue zones had fallen to both Scrin and NOD (even if momentarily) caused GDI major damage.

The Scrin were defeated with the destruction of the Towers and the Node, plus Kane's Tower being under NOD control and immune to human attack with it's completion. One could say even say the story will begin to take place outside planet Earth and eventually even the Scrin home world will be involved. This just may turn into a Total Annihilation or Starcraft scenario, where the plot takes us across galaxies.

acutly its both as mentioned in the gdi endings as mentioned in the gdi ending so the nod ending is correct and so is one of the gdi endings but wich one is real unless gdi din't mange to kill the node

Erp, GDi is clearly the winning faction on earth. They crushed Nod (remember Killian´s agenda and Kain clearly saying that Nod will lose) and defeated the scrin all over the world so they should be able to control about 75% to 90% of earth.
Nod succeeded with their plan to capture the stargate at the cost of loosing almost any control on earth (all endings state that the only Nod-presence worth mentioning is at "Kain´s tower").
Scrin got their ass majorly kicked, but everyone knows the meaning of floating brains saying that their "forces will regroup to strike again"...

[Overdose]

GDI may have more control of the Earth but they don't expand themselves over anywhere else other than Blue Zones unless there's a war to be fought out of them, which isn't the case anymore. All the blue zones got severely damaged or completely annihilated as well so they are in a tight spot.

As for NOD, that's true NOD has lost control over many countries but they still have the support of the grand majority of surviving humans across the world. I would not be suprised if many of those humans were invited to step inside Kane's Tower and spread themselves across to universe as Kane prepares to strike the Scrin homeworld.

Exspantion pack anybody?

[Cryptkeeper]

expansion is going to have another alien race i can see it becuase its been speculated that the tacitus was brought to earth to warn the human possible these aliens are there enemies maybe even nthe tiberium its selfaltho thats kinda unlikely

or a kane faction becuase this kane i think has kinda betrayed his own followersmaybe kane is one of those aliens

[Rayburn]

I really hope not. Scrin as a playable fraction was cool but adding even more aliens is just lame. I also hope that they don't add the Scrin-planet as a theatre or even space. Wasn't this supposed to be the final Tiberium-part? If so, I don't want it to end like that

[Overdose]

I believe it's unlikely it's the last part. Right now the games point out to expansion pack as many have stated and I'd not be suprised if the expansion packs pointed out to sequels. But it's likely we'd get another Red Alert or a brand new CNC series before CNC4 though.

[Cryptkeeper]

fact is tactis contianed info on the scrin the scri nwould have never let the planet know there coming so it must be some faction that apposses them its speculation i know but its very possible theres another alien faction at play against the scrin

[Overdose]

Kane might be possibly part of that faction. But I think that faction will never come into play because of Nod. If we think about it, Kane probably came to Earth to gather an army and fight the Scrin.

I think Kane's home world (possibly race) was wiped out by the Scrin.

I thought about this a bit and had a talk with cryptkeeper and came up with some alterations:

For thousands of years Scrin have been spreading in the galaxy, infesting planets with Tiberium using meteroits, then when they're completely infested and the indigenous population is killing itself, invading and building tresholds, both to mine Tiberium and add their planets to a giant network of other assimilated planets, through which they can move with help of the tresholds. Now a part of the Scrin did not like that and split off, maybe allying with survivors from the invaded planets. This rebellion fought the Scrin and warned planets with future invasion plans. Eventually they evolved a bit different from the Scrin, therefor they're similar, but not the same. On earth, they knew an invasion was planned and they saw potential in the civilization. So they sent/created Kane. What exactly Kane is I have no idea, he could be a cyborg, an Alien in human shape, or just a human controlled and altered by the rebellion. How much he actually knew before the Tacitus I'm unsure about aswell, he certainly knew Tiberium is going to come and used that to create the brotherhood, later to be an army to fight agains the Scrin empire. If he actually knew what the brotherhood is going to be used for or not, I'm unsure about aswell, maybe he was simply manipulated to belive the Tower leads to ascention etc...
Then, 1990 the Tiberium came, a war with GDI was started because they wanted to prevent the growth of Tiberium. This war also served the purpose of recruitment of more people. Then Kane received the Tacitus, either decoding the info and being convinced it would actually lead to ascention, OR it being a signal and excuse (why he knew about the aliens etc...) to start trying to produce LT bombs because the Scrin were waiting on the edge of our solar system, so they would invade and build a Tower. With the help of the tower his army would be able to strike deep into the heart of the Scrin and give the rebellion (which might've been extinct by now) a chance to defeat the Scrin. Another variation would be that he is the leader of the rebellion and it exists on many planets being invaded by the Scrin, his inner circle consisting off all the leaders from the different planets. Anyway, I think Kane is going to teleport into the Scrin homeworld and try to destroy it, together with all high Nod members, including yourself. Ajay will be left in command of earth's Nod forces. In the mean time Scrin invade, being distracted. GDI puts up a desperate fight but can't win without Nod, which starts to help. Being distracted from their homeworld while fighting earth's inhabitants, Nod and the rebels surprise the Scrin on their homeworld and overrun it. Then the epic interstellar war between Scrin and the Rebels begins or something like that until the Scrin planet is blown up or W/E, Scrin are defeated and the rebels replace it. Kane being the dictator now, over somekind of galactic empire. Then probably they'll do something like GDI doesn't agree and fight back.

That's a pretty good prediction. I can definitely see this happening.

[Revan]

Also I've been reading that intel again and I realised there were those words when they translated the other alien race' (I interpreted them as renegade scrin/rebels) name: Brother, Ascended, Enemy and Scrin. My interpreatation would be that: Brother - they're relatived, AKA the "other race" are originally Scrin, "Ascended" - maybe the Scrin call teleporting through the towers ascention (therefor Kane's "opposite of the tower awaits us ascention etc...) so I'd say it means they left the other Scrin, maybe using a tower of the teleportation network, Enemy - this is obvious, they turned against the Scrin causing a rebelion and Scrin - they were originally Scrin.

[Golan]

Brother, Ascend, Enemy, Scrin...
The Brothers (either members of Brotherhood o. N. or Scrin´s "brother" Kain) might ascend via the towers and become/join the enemies of the scrin.

[Revan]

Me and Overdose had a convo and realised the intercepted convo might've been the briefing of the 4. mission where they intercept the kane transmission and was wrongly translated. However Stuttgart is quite clearly before that briefing so this is rather confusing. I doubt they'd know Kane's plans or they could've prevented them.
