Neat-o
I don't see why some people say this game is so bad. Actually, I think it's pretty darn good. Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun is a war/strategy game where you set out to conquer the world in the Brotherhood of Nod, or defend peace as commander of the Global Defence Initiative (GDI). The graphics are WONDERFUL, or at least so compared to the other C&C games. Explosions look real, your battle units erupt smoke as they are about to die. The graphics are almost too good; it gets a bit bloody sometimes. Oh, and the cutscenes are also a major improvement, I'm not good at rating movies, but these at least are better than the original C&C's. You're not just having a small talk with your superiors then going into combat, you are actually a person on the screen and the story evolves with these cutscenes. The sound as in the sound effects are themselves pretty good, but they sound so often that you get a bit annoyed. The music is really something, all-new tracks but with the same sort of techno beat. There are only 15 now, though. As for single-player gameplay, it's great exept for a slight disatvantage: once the basic armored units become available, the rest of the units become almost obsolete. The armored units, with little or no support, can attack or defend very well. The game has two "campaigns," one for GDI, one for Nod. Your opponet is controlled by the computer. Also, there's a random map generator which gets you right into play with the AI. As for multiplayer, I'm sure it's very good but I have heard of some bugs in the connection. The fact is, I've never actually played it because I love the single-player mode. I'm also sure that it has the same disadvantage as the single player (see above). Sorry for the lack of information. The storyline has more detail of the conflict than ever. Video cutscenes will really get you into the storyline, despite the fact they are incredibly short. One last thing: I don't think Nod has a big advantage over GDI. I think that GDI, using proper strategies and tactics, can beat Nod any day. And Nod can do so to GDI.

Tiberian Sun, so many options, so little time.
This is a fun game. I got the Platinum edition and it has a few ectra things. Things! Not actual game options. No, it has the same game options as the normal edition. But the graphics are a MAJOR improvement over Red Alert and Command and Conquer. The story is again very cool. The between mission videos are very interesting and cool looking, especially the one with the GDI Mammoth Mk. 2 stomping everything Nod, though there is a lack of Nod end mission videos. You can easily modify the rules file to change the game yourself if you get board after playing it non-stop 12 hours a day, or you can download game mods from the many different web sites made for it. Some of those are as follows: www.tiberiumsun.com, www.tiberiansun.com, www.westwood.com, www.tsden.com, or the last I know, www.realts.com . This is a cool strategy game. The skirmish mode can be very hard if you adjust the game setting that way, the multiplayer options are the easiest I have seen out of the Trilogy,(which I now own), the missions are not too too hard, but if you get stuck, just visit any of the above sites and get a walkthrough or two or three. You don't need any $150 graphics accelerator either. This is a fun stratagy game.

Tiberian Sun is still the best of the C&C/Red Alert series!
When it comes to single-player (solo) gaming, Tiberian Sun is the best of
the C&C/Red Alert series! Why? Let me count the reasons.

Tiberian Sun missions are the most varied and interesting. It isn't all
about building up a base and destroying the enemy's base. When you play as
a GDI or NOD, you think one side really is superior (I thought GDI was
until I realized NOD had better defensive base capabilities). The units &
vehicles were really ahead of its time when you compare the game to RA or
RA2. And lastly, TS really was harder for me compared to the other series.

When it comes to multi-player (online) gaming, I imagine that TS is the
best to play with too, although I imagine that NOD gets played an
overwhelming amount due to its superior defensive base technologies and
offensive weapons (stealth, artillery, destructive chemical weapons,
lasers, burrowing, etc). The only good thing I can think about GDI is if
someone gets to build too many bombers, then GDI will attrition NOD to
death.
