Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
EA Releases Command & Conquer for Free

What made it doubly bad was that it was probably the first game that I was ever really hyped for. I used to visit the websites every day for whatever snippets I could find. Then over time, the features crept further and further back (voxels ended up looking like rubbish, doubly so for the fact that they removed the deformable terrain they were talking about back then), and on release, bought it, played it, couldn't get into it.
The biggest lesson I took from that game is: DON'T jump on the hype train. It's never worth it, no matter how good the game may be. It's served me in good stead these past years.

I'd probably agree with you, but you need to go play Red Alert 2. It was a huge improvement over Tiberian Sun.
Tiberian Sun was just too slow and had too many of the "take these 3 units and clear the entire map" missions..

2) Is there a difference between Tiberian and Tiberium?
Tiberian Dawn is the first one, Tiberian Sun is the second one, Tiberian Twilight was going to be the third one but then they renamed it to Tiberium Wars.

I agree. It's not like 90s cheezy, but it fits the game and when it was released.

I thought that game was just called Command and Conquer...?
If I could find the correct link, you can just extract the soundtrack from the .mix files using a utility, then just burn the .wavs to a CD..
I'm not going to download this if there's no possibility of multiplayer, just doesn't quite make sense if there isn't mp. So please, someone, God, find a solution.

Utilities for editing, playing, and whatever for C&C!

I have to go on holiday to Spain tomorrow with my gf, I'm gonna miss out on multiplayer C&C goodness.
...unless I take my laptop.

I think you do... but my point was that you shouldn't expect too much from an RTS that came out in 1995.

Plus, sandbags count as a structure for building purposes, so when you've finished surrounding the computer with sandbag doom, you can then pop some nice shiny Obelisks on their doorstep. Fun stuff.
Yes.
Working torrent here.
if your units are higher than your opponents, they only have a 70% chance to hit you.
Same goes for if your units are near trees.
There was actually a fairly incredible amount of stuff you could extract out of the mix files if you put enough effort into it... though I'm not sure if the Win95 version had the same abilities (I still have a few of the songs I took out of the old DOS version, Mechanical Man was a great song..
Is it legal to post links to the soundtracks here? 'Cause I got the soundtrack all of the C&C games (except Generals and C&C3) and I can upload them somewhere and post 'em for your convenience.
I was assuming not to be safe, since they were sold separately at one point... but I don't know what the legal status of ripping game music is, since you could argue that you paid for the game and music already
Game on?
Also! If you're getting the crash when one of your units goes to the upper left.. I suddenly got that today. Annoying. Anyway, I managed to fix it by going and checking which Windows it was running in compatability mode for, and it was Windows98/Me. Changing it to Windows 95 fixed the problem. So make sure it's running the main exe as a Windows95 program.
Well I did. Made it to the 9th GDI mission since yesterday.
Tiny units are tiny! I must say I was expecting something somewhat similar to Blizzard's RTSes, but this is an almost completely different feel and philosophy - and I love it. The missions are hard, but not impossible (at least not yet), and it feels incredibly rewarding when you finally manage to crush your opponent, especially considering you almost always need to be cunning and tactical to succeed (unlike Starcraft's mass-whatever's-the-best-unit-available philosophy).
The interface takes a little getting used to (though I love being able to keep producing units even while I'm babysitting an attacking group), the controls get pretty frustrating (I often lose selection of my units because I accidentally dragged a selection box, and what's with Shift only working if I've hotkeyed the group?), and the units will let themselves get slaughtered unless I'm there to guide them every step of their lives, but these are things I assume get fixed as the series progresses. I love the cut-scenes, they're so awesome and cheesy. Quite a remarkable game, don't regret the purchase.
I had intended to play through all the C&C games last year, along with C&C3 this year, but I basically stopped somewhere in the middle of the GDI campaign in Tiberium Sun.
