The Forgotten is a Game Mod for Command & Conquer: Tiberium Wars, developed by CnCLabs, the minds behind CnC All Stars and The Red Alert. The mod reintroduces The Forgotten, a mutant race first seen in Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun as a third minor faction who were more or less left out in the sequels, being reduced to just tech units you can use if you capture their Mutant Hovels. The mod is notable for quite possibly be the only mod to go so far as to include Full Motion Video shot in the style reminisce of the video sequences in the older games, which all ties in with the campaign mode.The mod's story revolves around the exploits of a mutant commander by the name of Salvador Trogan, a native East German who was a Nod spy before he defected. It follows his and his fellow commander's quest in leading a successful armed rebellion against the warring superpowers, citing that The Forgotten has been shunned upon, abandoned, and marginalized for too long. It was time they give them a piece of their mind, a clear message that they no longer want to be forgotten.

comment
Unreliable Narrator: Salvador himself, who is quick to gloss over Nod's litany of war crimes and horrific experiments in favor of how GDI "forced" mutants into the Red Zone... Remember that the lore for Tiberium Wars (on both sides) says the Forgotten went on a self-imposed exile.

The Beastmaster: An advanced infantry, veteran mutants who have years of experience in working with Tiberium fauna and flora. They each lead a pack of four Tiberian Fiends which are damaging against most ground units. Killing the Beastmaster will cause the Fiends to go feral and thus, unselectable, but they will not attack fellow mutants.

We Hardly Knew Ye: General Abel Livy. Being the only live-action character besides Trogan, you'd think he would be more important, but he appears in a few cutscenes with barely any lines, gets sent on a suicide mission to the Italian Red Zone, then dies. You don't even get to fight alongside him in the missions.

Asshole Victim
 The Forgotten (Video Game) / int_8ed5c6e4
comment
Asshole Victim: Trogan comes off as one, due to his manipulative framing of the Forgotten's history and casual disregard for the lives of others throughout the campaign:He stated that GDI kicked the Forgotten out of the Blue Zones, when Tiberium Wars established that the Forgotten went on a self-imposed exile. The campaign starts with him ordering multiple unprovoked attacks on GDI to bolster his own forces.Despite serving as a Nod spy during the Second Tiberium War, he conveniently failed to mention how they used mutants as cyborg components during that war.In the ending, he mentioned that GDI promised reinstatement of aid among other things. In the Morning Dawn Report supplementary material, you'll find that the reason they stopped receiving aid in the first place was because members of the Forgotten not only rebuffed them, but actually attacked GDI aid workers.

Awesome Personnel Carrier: Two of them: on one end of the spectrum is the War Camper, an armoured campervan which can transport a squad of infantry and is armed with missile launchers effective against light vehicles and aircraft. On the other end of the spectrum is the Longhorn, which is essentially a heavily armoured mobile bunker armed with a tank gun and space for up to four squads of infantry to garrison and fire out from it.

comment
Took a Level in Badass: Plenty of levels for Salvador. He went from being a lowly Nod informant (and before that, a street urchin) to being one of the most competent Forgotten commanders, having lead a successful uprising against the superpowers despite the many odds against him. Some even see him as a Messianic Archetype. This also happens to the Forgotten as a whole, who went from loosely organized bands of Hired Guns to a unified force, capable of taking on the military might of GDI, Nod, and even the Scrin.

Cruel Twist Ending
 The Forgotten (Video Game) / int_a4cd4fc6
comment
Cruel Twist Ending: The Forgotten destroys the backup Scrin Control Node, preventing Kane from using it for his own purposes. GDI agrees to a truce with the Forgotten, and General Granger promises the restoration of aid and even a personal apology. It looks like things are finally going well for the Forgotten... Then Salvador is killed by an airstrike ordered by Boyle, and the Forgotten most likely goes all the way back to square one. Though this does explain the scattered and disorganized state of the Forgotten, as well as their hostility towards GDI, by the time of Tiberian Twilight.

Action Bomb: The Impact Drones, improved version of the old Hunter Killer drones used by GDI in the previous war. They now fly and can be directed manually to their targets rather then let it seek out on it's own (which usually leads to it destroying a stupid target halfway across the map instead of something more valuable).

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: While Salvador does manage to unite the Forgotten once again and give them hope they had not had since before Tratos' murder, he pays for it with his life at the hands of a GDI airstrike. All that time GDI spent in Tiberian Sun helping the mutants, rescuing them from Nod compounds, taking the pains to avoid killing their people when they rioted, and deploying the very habitat shelters that are the Forgotten's barracks structure? Salvador couldn't care less and most of his crusade is directed against GDI.
