The '''Global Defense Initiative''' represents a typical western military. The GDI sports quite expensive and heavy material, and are generally considered the conservatives - they stick to what they know and prefer tried and true methods of combat versus the new and radical. Their strengths lie primarily in the middle game, where they can take full advantage of their heavy hitters.

Their Commando bomb buildings, kill infantry and can stealth when not moving. The Nuclear Missile is their superweapon. | The '''Brotherhood of Nod''' are the underdogs.

The '''Scrin''' is the newest faction, and intend to use Ichor (what they call Tiberium) for their own malicious purposes. They field powerful infantry and tough vehicles, and often use massive fleets of aircraft like Planetary Assault Carriers and Devastator Warships to destroy their foes.
