Ah Xrain is a bro.
For me, there wasn't really anything in particular special about Tiberium Sun. It was just my first experience with RTS. But damn, the first time i built a titan, then a hover mlrs, ect, was just epic.
Speaking of cnc, man c&c4 was a huge disappointment, in every sense of the word. No more base building, zoomed in maximum... imho the greatest disappointment in gaming in a long time.
Oh yea, I just downloaded tib sun, and playing at 1920 x 1080 is awesome. I can see like half the map at a time, and almost all my build options without scrolling.
