Over in
this thread on the EA forums, Apoc had the following quote about the build system in C&C 3:
I'd keep your hopes very high for this return of the MCV (hint hint) :o)
And, later, on the role of Kane:
APOC: I can't speak on our plans with Kane right now, but...that's all I can say right now :o)
Let the old build system and a good actor not lead EA into forgetting about gameplay....
