GDI Zone Operations Command (ZOCOM)

A whole division of GDI that relies on their sonic technology to push back the growth of Tiberium and its entities. With enhance armor and superior infantry, Zocom can safely engage any enemy in any environment.

Pros:

Strong infantry
Splash damage units

Cons:

No Artillery
No Railguns

GDI Steel Talons

The old school GDI faction that would risk the safety of their own vehicles for the extra boost in battle. Their old Titan and Wolverine walker units from Tiberium Sun still have quite a kick in them and are feared by their enemies.

Pros:

Many new garrisonable units
Powerful vehicle upgrades

Cons:

Limited to basic infantry
Very slow vehicles

Nod Black Hand

The Black Hand are a zealous army focused to purify the planet of their enemies.. Their infantry is unstoppable and trained to never back down or surrender.

Best infantry in the game
Powerful anti-structure capabilities

Cons:

No air
No stealth technology (even on harvesters!)

Nod The Marked of Kane

The Marked of Kane faction is a new breed of army. Cyborgs and superior laser wielding units truly devastate all in their path. Kane has sure picked the most finest and stealthy warriors that have no mercy, new remorse, no pity…

Pros:

Powerful laser equipped units
Strong Cyborg infantry

Cons:

Expensive Upgrades
Requires intensive micromanagement

Scrin Reaper 17

This maniacal Scrin breed is even feared by their own kind. Their vehicles and infantry are twisted and mutated purely towards power. Their new and Tiberium improved ground forces are a force to reckon with. Watch out for their Reaper Tripod!

Pros:

Superior ground forces
Shields everywhere

Cons:

No teleportation
Lack of advanced air units

Scrin Traveler 59

The Scrin have some real sinister motives with their new Traveler division. Focusing on abducted human vessels to sneak into the populous and mind control their enemy is only the beginning. Their lightning fast infantry and aircrafts put the meaning of hit-and-run into perspective.

Pros:
