[stibaer]

I just finished C&C3 Tiberium Wards and now wanted to continue with the story, so I started C&C3 Kanes Wrath. At the start Kane suddenly has a half-mask and is talkign about a "Kabal" ???
Did I msis a part or something? In Tiberium Wars I just finished the last alien mssion and that was it....
How to play the part in between when is told hoe Kane losses half his face and something about a Kabal?

Spoiler alert from C&C games more than 20 years ago. (it's ok for the op to read if you still haven't played them since you're already playing the third title of the series).

Kane's wrath campaign starts before C&C3 Tiberium Wars start, before Kane's face was fully recovered by the disfigurement. If you play C&C2 Tiberian Sun (the prequel to Tiberium Wars), you'll notice Kane has masked half his face to hide his disfigured face that were on him the whole game. It is implied these scars happened to him at the end of C&C1 Tiberian Dawn (the prequel to Tiberian Sun) where the temple he was in got blasted since that was the last time we see Kane before Tiberian Sun.

About the "Cabal" part, Cabal was Nod's Artificial Intelligence that tried to take over the world with cyborgs so Nod destroyed it in the previous game. In Kane's wrath, you are the new AI called LEGION. Cabal do not appear in kane's wrath, but I'm guessing Kane simply mentioned "it" because you are cabal's successor.

Ah, thanks for clarification. It felt, like I had accidentally skipped half of the game or because of a bug ^^

HUGE SPOILER for previous CnC games

TLDR- CABAL is the AI that was made before LEGION. LEGION still has parts of CABAL inside of it. We see glimpses of CABAL in the cutscenes as a face.

Play tiberian sun and firestorm

The story in Kane's Wrath is not linear. The first act is in between Tiberian Sun/Firestorm and Command and Conquer 3's Campaign. The mid missions are in line with the CnC3 Timeline and the last ones are years into the future.

Cabal was the only one other than Tratos that could read the Tacitus, so Kane had to make a new AI that would be loyal to him and help him with his plan.

It is a really good expansion. The units are fresh and balanced and the story is engaging.

Highly recommend.
