CNC DEN has put together a list of facts he compiled for C&C 3 that have been confirmed:
-C&C 3 to ship sometime 2007.
-Mike Verdu will be the Executive Producer.
-Jason Bender will be the Lead Designer.
-C&C 3 begins in the year 2047.
-FMV cut scenes return.
-Kane will return from the dead. But was he ever truly dead?
-Game will use an updated version of the Sage engine.
-Sides are GDI, Nod, and a yet un-named third side.
-Smarter AI (remains to be seen)
-Voice over IP support, Clan support, Observer and spectator modes.
-Single player missions/AI Skirmish
-Multiplayer: Skirmish, Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, World Domination
-Also, EA will be holding several 'player summits' during the development of C&C 3 so they can get feedback and ideas from C&C players.
It's not clear to me how Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch differ from free for all and team games currently see all the time in Generals and ZH. My guess is that they're just names for them, so I'm not sure how excited I'd get over that. World Domination, VOIP, and the player summits all look interesting, if only because the last is a good design (as well as marketing) tool.
