Tiberian Sun & Firestorm

Tempted, but no. The fmvs are love and the soundtrack is excellent, but the gameplay is so dated compared to say Red Alert 2, that I don't think I could struggle through the campaing again and especially not the skirmish mode, urgh.

So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds

Wasn't Tiberium Sun the worst of Westwood's RTSes?

IIRC it was the ghost unit and the mammoth Mk2 that had the rail guns.

 

Biggest problem with the game that I remember is that the Nod crew had arty that could hit from 8 miles with perfect shots, and it's killer drones were amazing.

 

Oh, and GDI's "murder them all" tool was weaker than aluminum foil for being killed.

According to the internets it was "Cyborg Commando".

 

EDIT: Looking further, it seems the previous internets were wrong :lol:

 

Still an awesome game, though.

That was the NOD unit (railgun GDI guy was the Stalker IIRC) and shot dangerous tiberium-snot-orbs.

I'd imagine the difference is that there are modern equivalents of Command and Conquer to play nowadays, while the same is not true for Fallout.

Loved the Westwood C&C games. Wonder if they'll make RA2 free, way too much time wasted on that. The Mammoth Mk II was useful like the Mammoth in C&C, good for taking down a defended base but that was it. Disruptor tanks were the best.
