In 1999, the long wait ended. Four years passed since the first Command & Conquer in the Tiberian Series, with the online version Sole Survivor in the middle. Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun, for PC, made its appearance.

It’s the direct sequel to Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn. It takes place in the 2030’s, about thirty years after the end of Tiberian Dawn.

The GDI (Global Defense Initiative) and the Brotherhood of Nod fight once again, and the world is at stake.

The world as we know it has vanished. There aren’t any nations left, just some areas monitored by the GDI. Tiberium, the extraterrestrial fluid that landed on Earth a few decades ago, is again the responsible for all this. Or, actually, how some humans handle it for their own evil purposes. Because of the Tiberium menace, many people migrate to the poles, where it hasn’t been propagated as much yet.

You can play for the GDI, or in support of the Brotherhood.

As a GDI member, you will be Commander McNeil (played by Michael Biehn and you will receive orders from General James Solomon (played by the great James Earl Jones).

As a member of originally Kane’s Brotherhood of Nod (Kane is played by Joseph D. Kucan), you will take control of Anton Slavik (played by Frank Zagarino). He will escape from his imminent execution, take down Hassan (current leader of Nod) and become the new leader of the criminal organization. The second tiberium war begins…

It was published by EA Games, it contains 2 CD-ROMs and the system requirements are: Pentium II 166 MHz, 32 MB RAM, Windows 98/ME/2000/XP, 2 MB PCI graphics card, DirectX compatible sound card, 200 MB hard disk space, 4x CD-ROM drive.

Unlimited Firestorm Wall: Completely charge your Firestorm Wall and turn it on. Then, before it turns off or runs out of power, sell or turn off your power plants until the message On Hold appears in the Firestorm Icon. You will be granted an unlimited firestorm wall that will last until you build or turn on your power plants. This trick only works with the unpatched version.

Hijack vehicles: To hijack a vehicle take a Mutant Hijacker into a city. Then, find a car, truck or a bus and select it. This will give you control over this vehicle, being able to use it as transportation.

Quick kill: To kill a Cyborg Commando with a single hit you must have the ability to build a GDI Firestorm Wall Generator and Firestorm Wall sections. Develop your base until you can build a Firestorm Wall and sections. Then, build Firestorm Walls in the positions where enemies can access your base. If a Cyborg Commando is near one of these new structures, turn on the Firestorm Wall Generator to finish them at once.

Tiberium veins: These units work great for scouting vein areas, but bare in mind that they won’t have any effect on the following enemy units: NOD Buggy, Wolverine, Hover MLRS, infantry and Harvesters.
