I also infer that "module" and "nodule" are both supposed to represent the same word?

They fixed it, as far as I know (see IGN).

Hardly the most significant thing they've fucked up with regards to Tiberium. Read through the "what we know" bits and play TD and TS, then go back and read the interviews again- they've still got it all wrong.

Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.

Supposedly they're actually getting biologists and other scientists to think up how tiberium would actually work in real life. They're probably way overthinking the storyline, but that's not to say that the original research on tiberium was way off and has been corrected with help from the Tacitus by this time.

Oh, and "nodule" is its own word.

Go rent the movie "Andromeda Strain" The more I think about it, the more it is like Tiberium. It's a crystaline life form, it spreads and... It's actually a perfect match. The Andromeda Strain was a bit more dealy than Tiberium though. It killed in about 10 seconds. It removed the liquid from people's blood so they were essentially filled with sand. The Andromeda Strain could metabolise any material, so trying to irradiate just gave it more fuel to spread. Again just like tiberium spreading all over. Like I said try to find the movie its a really good one.

Eh, I don't see anything wrong apart from the typo....what's the issue? Seems like just another "I **** HATE EA" -post. Those are getting really old.

There's a hole in the sky through which things can fly.

One of my favorite books (which was better than the movie IMO). Unfortunately for GDI, tiberium won't spontaneously mutate into a harmless organism. But I see the parallels, especially with the "communication by organism" theory.

Last time I checked, it was indeed a(n) EA 'employee' who typed that in. Along with the last time I checked, I do believe that humans do, indeed, make mistakes.

Never-the-less, you would think that they would check their work before they release it.

Especially something that is going to be seen by thousands of fans.

But then again, just like with everything EA these days, it feels rushed.

It makes you wonder, most company's would double check something before releasing something to the public. I hope this isn't a bad omen for how the game will be tested before release.

Size doesn't matter.

Read what he said; he wasn't pointing out a typo.

Tiberium Nodule, and then Pre-Module. Is it a Tiberium Module, or is it Pre-Nodule? Or did they purposely swap the two similar words?
