Wait... People who know anything about C&C are interested in C&C4?
I'd like to own the series that I've been playing since I was 3
Eh? In C&C 3, the red zones WERE shown.Like, in the last mission for example where you either have to defeat the other Human faction plus the Scrin megaconstruction (BoN + GDI), or protect the big towery thing and defeat both Human factions (Scrin)
Anyway, it clearly shows the ravaged landscape, filled with gigantic canyons and humongous crystals of Tiberium.
Given that Tiberium gives off mineral-based vapors, such abundance of it would make it deadly to everyone not equipped with proper tech.
TL;DR, a hellhole.
In all I think what he's trying to say is that the "True red zones weren't shown. IE the cutsence were the scrin planes fall along with the shock troopers.
I belive most of the Second game was about yellow zones but that wouldn't explan the level were you have to go to the ruins the the nod temple that got destroyed in the frist one, as that level did have a GDI fort and a city.
Plus in the climatics the Spaceship did have a few 3-6 story buildings in the backround,along with the fact that in the GDI campain there was a subway system and a part of a city.
