10 Things You Didn't Know About Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath

This is just awesome, thank you!

just set the commando to aggressive and make him jump inbetween buildings to evade enemy fire

You forgot to mention. Kanes Wrath was better on xbox. Probably didnt know ;)

Very interesting. The commando jump jet trick I knew the first time I played the game (Hampton roads mission - so I thought that was a normal thing that everyone knew). The Scrin mothership crushing and being crushed is WILD. Did not have any clue regarding that. Maybe a bug, or at least likely not an intended interaction.

@masterleaf intro is f*ing mighty!! I knew when you did this video there'd be things I really didn't know <3
I found one but it's so broken it'd need to be fixed if people would find out xDD

Lol, the crushing behavior of the drone ship must be a bug.

When playing zocom
Snipers get out in pairs..when one of them is killed..
Next shot he take..he will comment...THIS IS FOR MY FRIEND!

ive been playing this since the game 1st came out and i didnt know any of these

with the engineer waypoint thing. does it work when they r being air lifted as well?

This is the best intro i ever seen.

Wow!

Ayeeeee 1000th like

Holy cow. I haven't played CnC for 15 years++. I never got to KW. Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2 were the last games I played, but I practically lived in CnC since the first CnC released on PS1 up until the time of RA2 & TS. Good old times, especially in TS when the laggy 56K internet crashed in the very end of an 8 player FFA.

I got a YT suggestion of CnC 1 remastered, then checked Tiberian Sun, found Sybert and KW, and I've looked through hours and hours of tournaments now. GZ, Bikerush, Futurama, Drive, Shoktrepit, Dune Tiger, and you @masterleafcnc . Those Sybert tournament videos caused a YT suggestion of this video, so here I am, some 10+ years late to the party, lol. The level of detail in your games is impressive. It's never boring, you're one of few that actually make use of the factions' small perks and edges. You have an eye for details. It really makes it fun to watch.

And creds for developing the 4K texture, I can't believe that's not getting more praise. I mean, it changes the whole visual aspect of the game, and it looks awesome. Although I don't even have a PC at this point, running PS and Mac, it is indeed tempting to play.

Also, a tangent: I'm working alot with human rights, and particular the extensive persecution, killing and organ harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners and prisoners of conscience in China. Do think it would be possible to put on a 2v2 tournament (I love watching them, perfect combo of team play and strong single play) and me donating a cash pool, for you guys hosting the tournament in the name of bringing awareness to that cause? And perhaps get @OneSybert on board as well? Unorthodox, I know, but it just hit me, and I'd love to hear your thoughts.

I normally don't like these types of videos...because they tell me stuff I already know.

This though...I didn't know a single fact. Good show!

I am proud to say I knew about the commando jump jet ability!
Edit: Bruh that mothership insta-kill trick is OP.

How do you spawn the curroptor mini monsters? In kanes wraith I can't seem to get them reliably

The effect of the Crate also works on an air unit, if it is placed exactly above the Crate, and then picked up by a ground unit.
+Since the effect of the Crate acts on the area, and the infantry does not have a collision; you can teleport an infinite number of infantry or up to four Annihilator tripods to random Crate using Mastermind. 100 heroic Disintegrators attack lol)

Wow these are legit ones I didn't know

I gave up at 4 minutes as it was a useless video

The Tips are rly nice, good to know

How weird. I just bought the first game a few days ago an then I discover this video for a decade old game, made a few days ago.

There are more hidden upgrades. Nod confessors and marked of kanes venoms are getting black hand particle beams aswell. Also nood raider buggys, scorpion tanks and all laser turret defenses can get spitefire laser upgrades.
Funniest thing, all shredder turrest, no matter the faction, can gain partical beams and charged particle beams.

The reason why this is the case is a mix of beta content leftovers and generally leftover code copied around.

What mod are you using to have instant units? Does it also include sidebar abilities and does it work with vanila cnc3?

Hello Masterleaf, How to create a custom map with the latest community patch ? Can you make a video ?

ZOCOM's perfect combo is the Zone Raider in Hammerhead.

If managed correctly, ONE, yes, I said one, ZR in a fully upgraded Hammerhead, can take down an entire army consist of many units, and an entire base.

Very interesting, not a lot of it seems to be useful. Comes in handy when people are pointing at each other yelling hax.

I didn't realize not many people knew about the commando's jet pack into C4 thing. I am fairly certain the game tells you its a thing in the GDI mission at temple prime. I may be wrong but there isn't any other way I would have known about it.

Another thing most people dont know is EA shut down the servers (at least on xbox 😭)

Ok so I have a major assumption on why the sonic emitter cancel out Ion storms but its not labeled, I think it is to keep the Scrinn a surprise which at the time it was a huge surprise, especially if you play Nod first.

how do you get a proper 60 fps?

IIRC the Commando "Dive Bomb" was mentioned somewhere in the intel database or the manual, forgot which.

Also the Temple of Nod Master Computer Countermeasures seems pretty obvious to me? Please don't tell me there are players who can't/don't bother to read or figure out what the abilities do.

There was something you can put in part 2
Did you know that if Traveller and some scrin and reaper units can garrison GDI foxholes?
Try it I kid you not, Traveller 59 Disints, shock troopers and ravagers can garrison GDI foxholes and do really good damage
Its no wonder scrin units cannot normally garrison structures it would've been broken

I've been playing this game ever since I was like 8 and I never knew that sonic emitter disable planetary assault carriers ability!

Its unbelievable I missed this

You can negate Redeemer's skill by switching your troops to passive stance.
For some reason, units will ALWAYS attack harvesters, unless you set units to passive stance even when they're supposed to "only attack back".

Hello masterleaf can you play in matches with this challenge:

No MCV move 👀

Kane's Wrath is so unfinished that it even lacks Scrin and GDI campaign.

Will it be possie to equip railguns to Zocom? And use snipers in ST? Thus bombardig with Behemoths

"there is no way I don't know all 10 things" -me before watching this video being wrong.

Actual things I didn't know, no bs intro or sponsor or off topic rambling. This is what good video content is. Thanks my man.

Cant believe the depth of some of these given the Devs only had like 8 months to make the game. And some are also an oversight cause of the same reason but the jumpjet one and the sonic tower one. Damn, feels like we've waited ages for this video and wow, was it worth it! Thanks once again leaf.

I know some over the time I have been playing the game
- if you actives a PAC's ion storm ability, then save and reload that save, that ion storm will be permanent, even if the PAC move (but disappear if the PAC dies)
- if you use Prodigy's Area of Effect Mind ability on an selectable unit while very close to an epic unit, you can mind control the epic unit for a short time.
- as a general rule vehicles takes 50% more damage if hit from behind, only 10% more if hit from the sides, but some units do not follow this. attack bike takes no extra damage if hit from the sides or behind, MARV only takes 25% extra from behind takes normal damage from sides (but Redeemer and Hexapod's directional armor is normal), Nod commando takes 50% extra damage from behind and 10% from the sides, but the GDI commando does not have directional armor.
-Avatar can use it's ability on other faction's attack bike, flame tank, beam cannon or stealth tank, but none of the avatars cannot use their ability on a MOK attack bike due to an oversight

That opening looked amazing! All 10 of the tips were new to me as well, super cool and thanks for sharing!

Apart from the Master Computer thingie, which isn't much of a mystery (I think it's even described in the game's manual), the other things were indeed new and unfamiliar to me. Thanks for the video :)

I did not play KW over some years but even with that video is still much interesting.
Thank you much!

1) Wow, that's new!
2) It's just the same as it's in Red Alert 2 engine so far (:
3) Perfect!
4) This is clearly bug tbh
5) Damn, this big shit is even bigger than expected xD I guess this is made to prevent bodyblocking him too much
Upd: Seems to be an oversight, as devs wanted to do that, and then removed, but not from those turrets.
6) Simple and even logical, but is not said anywhere...
7) Lmaaaooo xD Typical EA bug
8) Another oversight / copypaste-caused bug... Damn, they'd better get fast legs, but oook xD
9) Cool! Even better to combo with an allied zocom hammerhead, as they're tough as hell, and also this will be an allied investment. Combing beam cannons with own venoms is usually feels just too expensive.
10) Damn, stupid coding does not save previous shots info for the certain time but deletes when Jugg packs...

Wait a second. I saw only 9 things not 10! 😀 Great vid did not know any of these.

As someone whose strategy depends a lot on Spamming PACs and activating its Ion Storm Ability, now i can sleep peacefully knowing why it couldn't turn on the Ion Storm lol

Black hand troops can survive sometimes after getting crushed, they will use the quote "Wake up!" and one or two members will be crawling around
(dunno but I saw this happen like 10 years ago when I last played C&C 3)

I’ve literally been waiting for this video for years it feels like lol
