Allies win the war but not long after,a guy with lots of hair called "Cane" appears out of the frying pan. His name is mockingly added "Candy",kinda reflecting his behavior. Anyway,the guy has armies of cyborg monkey plushes and starts invading stuff. He then captures Futuretech along with the Chronosphere. Seeing that situtaion is bad,Allies,Soviets and Empire unite and they decide to drop weaponized mech MCVs from the space with parachutes or if that country is worth it,with dropships. Meanwhile,green cystals start to cover the entire world and next thing you know % 99.99 of the world is covered with that stuff.

The unholy alliance then decides to plant strange hubs everywhere that would blow all those green crystals,which was found weird as they could have done it 60 ago,in case some random alien green crystal decided to invade the Earth. Anyway,that is not the only thing that is invading the world so the trio has to deal with the Legion of Plush Monkeys. The Monkeys push all the way to Britain and old coastal guns and some peacekeepers can't beat their Khrowe Battleships or Threatnaught ships so Allies decide to swim back to the US of A and surrender.

Then,Einstein and a group of 0 organic Monkey Plushes come via the Chronosphere from the beginning of the universe. Cane says "YOU!" as in like "I really hate you but I can't strike because you'd *** me up". Then Einstein says IMMA FIRIN MAH LAZ0R,then a blue ball which clearly isn't a laser comes out of this mechanized arm then goes at Cane,while his loyal Cyborg throws itself in the way and gets a pitiful death. Then,Candy Cane laughes maniacly then jumps straight back,falling into his demise. It is then revealed that it is actually a portal that leads to the Cyborg Monkey Plushie homeworld. They shoot all their nukes into the portal then send one of their men with a god-knows-how-long rope and asks them if Cane is dead. "These monkeys are quite durable,nothing happened to them at all,nor at their city. Its just that..." Cut the chatter soldier,what happened to Cane.

He replied smiling,"What Cane?" Then ofcourse they ask Einstein about what happened to him while Cherdenko gets into the room and screams "BUT WE ERASED YOU!!!". Then,Bingham Von Esling says "WHAT!? You were supposed to be in the Cryo Prison you..." "Whatever,I already have another time machine made" was the last words of Cherdenko before being shot by atleast twenty Cryo-pistols. One of the Monkeys with Einstein says: "We're the TimeTravelling (TM) Monkey Plushies sir,we're in the minority. Cane has tricked our people into their assimilation and now controls them as this soldiers and personal massage therapists. Einstein came to the future to save us from our utmost demise and now we do time travels chasing Cane. We still haven't succeeded through,apparently your nukes did. Now that Cane is erased,our people should be back to normal. BTW,I think you nuked my wife but she should be ok,we have anti-earthling weapons fur you know." Then Einstein says,"Of course it took care of that Cane,as it was me WHO created it. Well I had plenty of co-workers but heh,let not-so-smart-people think I'm the only one responsible."

Then a lot of blah blah blah,and some "How are you,again?",monkeys decide to come to Earth. Then,lots and lots of alien spacecraft land on the earth,with man-sized adorable Monkey Plushies rolling out of it. It is now 25 years later and Soviets and Allies are still fighting while Empire and the rest of the world are enjoying it with their popcorns on the laps. Thanks to the invulnerability modules brought by Monkey Plushes,war is actually a non-lethal but extremely fun sport now. Through Cryo,Desolator,Nuclear and weird alien tech weapons are banned from this sport.

So,I decided to get my hands on this game which I participated in its Beta. Since it was first announced,it took a lot of negative comments from CnC commoners,including me after seeing the Level System which made me quit halfway through the Beta. STRIKER SPAMMER OMG!!!

Even through I'm primarly a Red Alert fan,I thought I could give the finished game a chance and it came out above my expectations. First of all,the tactics part is solid,meaning you actually have to do pincer attacks and flankings and stuff to win firefights. Your tank can do two shots worth of damage by just moving,while also exposing its side armor.

Second,with the base building gone and a more-fast paced,RTT style gameplay out there,the addition of solid counters is a very good choice. Mind you,not hard counters,as many stuff can hit everything. Its just that some stuff do it much better,i.e Laser weapons make heavy armor make a run of its money while cannons are better against medium armor.

Third,the unit designs aren't bad at all,the Stealth Tank looks awesome while the Widow is a nice,enlarged Beam Cannon. The Venom is very cute too. Above all else,atleast we no longer have the (even the word itself is enough to blow your mind off,so click the spoiler at your own risk) You have been warned. The Wormmando!!!

Fourth,the gameplay promotes teamplay a lot,so with the right people,you can have the best hour of your day.

On the other side through,the game lacks some major stuff that is supposed to be in an RTT, Terrain is very important in RTTs,and CnC4 doesn't really reflect that. It could have swamps to slow tanks down or asphalt roads to speed them up,craters or caves (not saying forests in a 2062 post-apocalyptic enviorement)

The leveling system isn't that bad,you can actually beat high-end stuff with lower tiers (like me winning a game for Nod with a group of ST coming from behind and capturing most nodes while Mastadons charging in our drop zone),it is not actually hard to level up and by the time you have everything,you are done with the learning curve anyway. The only problem is,Level 20 players often kick you from games for being a "noob",simply because you don't have the picture they want in your "Rank" section.

The storyline is awful,or as Dr.Zelinsky would put it,"catastrophic". It is THAT bad,it is total cheese and it is obviously rushed. Write this game a fast,crap storyline or YOU'RE FIRED Just skip it,you're better off not learning the end of Tiberium Universe,or that fanatism will turn into hatred. Yes,I'm serious.

Overall,this is a very nice and well-made RTT,just scrap the storyline and get over with the Leveling System. It is also pretty cheap now,so if you have some bucks to spare,this game is a good buy.
