Twisted Insurrection is a critically acclaimed, standalone modification based on the Command & Conquer™ Tiberian Sun™ engine. It features a complete redesign of the original game, set in an alternate "what-if?" timeline where the Brotherhood of Nod was victorious during the first Tiberian War. Do you have what it takes to drag the shattered Global Defense Initiative out of ruin? Or will you crush all who oppose the will of Kane and his Inner Circle? The choice is yours commander.
Over the years, GDI and Nod have accumulated several units with overlapping roles, and not wanting to outright cut any, we've decided to split the two factions into two subfactions each:
- FALCON DIVISION is a traditional GDI task force, focusing on slow but powerful units to steamroll the enemy with.
- PHOENIX REGIMENT is a GDI splinter group opposing the UN decision to diminish GDI. They continue to fight the Brotherhood despite overwhelming odds, relying on light units and hit-and-run tactics not unlike those of their sworn enemy.
- GENESIS LEGION oversees Nod's Tiberium and cybernetic projects. They are responsible for some of Nod's most sinister creations and are not afraid to use them against Nod's enemies.
- SONS OF KANE is a Nod splinter group opposed to cybernetics, which they see as tainting Kane's true vision. The Sons rely on Nod's proven guerilla and terror tactics while employing powerful new stealth units.
These subfactions will replace GDI and Nod in standard multiplayer modes. However, if you want to play with a full GDI or Nod arsenal, then worry not -- the repurposed UNHOLY ALLIANCE game mode does just that.
Last but not least is a faction that has been a popular request in multiplayer for years. That's right, GLOBOTECH. With a focus on specialized, high-tech units and strong defenses, GloboTech is here to twist things up.
Choose your allegiance well, Commander.
Skirmish has sub factions now?
Yes, the subfactions will be available in both skirmish and online multiplayer.
Can we expect more buildings for GDI? I'm hoping the seismic projector gets done for Nod if not it's okay. Nonetheless It's looking great as always! I hope the wait won't be too much longer.
Don't rush it please I don't want any bugs messing up my Nod base.
Twisted Insurrection is the perfect way to give EA the middle finger haha. GloboTech will be single player to right?
I wonder how well the Globotech faction will be balanced since the EMP patriot one shots aircraft and their high speed planes can dodge some anti air projectiles?
Wait we are getting GloboTech?! :O
That would explain the lack of buildings for the others.
Man I'm super hyped! Do they even have a super weapon?
The Renegade-era Light Tank is a nice touch.
If you want a closer look: Moddb.com
It's a really good tank for Sons of Kane, has decent armor, firepower, and mobility for its cost, and is very good for punching holes in enemy base defenses to let buggies and bikes through.
I think the name Scarab would be a better fit for it than Instigator though, though I do like the name Instigator.
Any idea on eta?
I'm hoping soon. But as they say (When it's done).
I guess it just depends on what's been finished and what is left,
their schedule and so on. I never expected to see GloboTech this soon. It's probably the reason why all GDI and Nod buildings haven't gotten a facelift yet. But I am excited to see how they play. :)
Wait, why do some Stingers have lasers and the other ones have missile pods?
Edit: Okay, it looks like Stingers can deploy to unleash powerful AA lasers
