SPEEDRUN: C&C Covert Operations (Tiberian Dawn) - Twist of Fate

- Time taken: 17 mins 1 sec. NO GAY SANDBAGS. I used speed 6 out of 7 throughout the game without slowing it down, even at the beginning when there was fighting all over the place. A game is NOT considered a speedrun if it is intentionally played at low speeds to easily control units - the challenge is in acting and thinking on your feet in a fast-paced scenario. Neither can a slow game be justified using the in-game counter, lest the slow pokes claim to be fast.
Tanking isn't critical in this mission, as can be seen at the later part of the game. Also, this is the mission I've taken longest to complete, even longer than the final campaign and expansion missions in Red Alert.
Command & Conquer is the pioneer game which spawned the entire C&C series. An award-winning title, it centres on the war between two factions - the Global Defence Initiative which is an international defence body crafted by the United Nations. and the Brotherhood of Nod, an organisation led by a charismatic self-proclaimed Messiah called Kane. The war focuses on an anomalous mineral called Tiberium, of which its value is interpreted differently by the two factions.
The Covert Operations features 15 new missions with special scenarios and objectives for both sides, adding more flavour to the original campaigns.

"Knowing the NOD obelisks could only hold a limited charge, I sent wave after wave of my own troops against them until they depleted their charge and could be destroyed!"

THEBIRDISWATCHING thanks for the laugh dear sir 🧐
Working tactic though. Obelisks and any other defenses always targeting first units which entering their fire range. I often threw a bunch of machinegunners before attacking forces to distract AI from my heavy tanks that were busy obliterating its base.
Still a better strategy than using your destroyed units to clog up the enemy guns with their wreckage!
Then this were his men go Boo you Suck lol.
Cunning 🤣
0:03 even the intro video also got speedrun.
Widely considered to be the most difficult Covert Ops mission. Well done!
ACR can you explain a Bit why that is the case?
Waiting for your reply, ACR.
Another generation of gamers might pass us by while we wait.
@@2reeceybaby Just finished this one and it took me 3 times the time a normal mission would take me! It's just wave after wave attacking and if you attack the small base in the middle, all hell breaks loose.
Also, the position were the MCV arrives already complicates things. I only finished it by having a wall of Mammoth Tanks guard near the lower base until the opponent was out of money.
14:38 WHERE DID YOU LAUNCH DAMN YOU BROTHER!
Airstrike Re.....Mission accomplished
Right? I know this vid had a totally different objective (and was VERY well done) but that part hurt my childhood's soul 😭
I'm also competed this mission on PSX, without sandbags. Just saved one mammoth and placed 4 rocket turrets and 2 gun towers.
NO GAY SANDBAGS!
Straight sandbags only!
Instead we get turbo gay silos **winkwink**
For me personally, this was the hardest mission from Tiberian Dawn & The Covert Operations. I always turn down the speed at the beginning to save as many units as possible.
The way this guy speedruns, it's like he's not human!
*see him direct a harvester to that patch of tiberium hindering a building's placement*
Ah, and yet I feel a special connection.
The most difficult mission in Covert Operations
Probably top 3 hardest levels in this game... you absolutely wasted that place, I’m impressed! Whoa!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they nuked their own base? clearly the nodlings were in charge of this campaign, which wiyld explain the trikes behavior.
They knew they were screwed anyway.
@@OryAlle Yah or someone could hit by mistake thinking it was the big red button for the coffee maker lol.
You can generally sum up the 'A' grade strats for c&c95 and red alert as engineers in the apc/chinook for 95, and tank rush for red alert.
you know id never thought to deploy up there, nice
+mickotron that's what I did when I first played the mission 18 years ago lol
Is this game on the fastest speed and on hard mode?? Because I tried this on hard and it was really difficult. Tried implementing this strategy but it didn't work very well for me, had to put up AGT on both bases (top and bottom) and reinforce them with mammoths
15:46 a nod flame tank stuck there lol
Probably dumbfounded by the overwhelming amount of possible targets heh
Mammoth regen coming in so handy! X)
Holy crap, you have the song 'Die' in your Tiberian Dawn? That's awesome.
There was this mix file you can replace iirc. Though they are all in Remastered except for 'Destructible Times'
This is my childhood. Damn, seems like yesterday.
Awesome speedrun and nice strategy. Somehow that was only good enough to produce an efficiency score of 0%. I really wonder what it takes to get a better score on this one. :P
+Fredr md different missions have different algorithms to determine efficiency. You gotta ask the guys at cnc-comm.com, they know how to read the .ini files :)
Are you likely to do a video for this mission on hard difficulty for C&C remastered? Tried it several times and fail every time!
wtf that intro, that is impossible surviving all the tanks,
My first pc game..music reminds me of good times
dude, that was just incredible!
Here is the strongest Nod base... meh let’s just go in with a bunch of engineers, build a barrack, and out-spam the AI with more engineers and turrets!
No sandbag required.
Around 7:00 the bike buggy rush started, cnc3 meta by cnc1 ai is hillarious^^
can someone tell me how to counter their nuke please?
You can't but the computer strikes the northern unit or building so just make a little building at north out of range of your base and their nuke will strike it first .
@@fabulousfrance thanks
I didn't realize that all I had to do was take out one power plant to disable all the obelisks.
Really? I played it on hard mode, I had to take out 3 powerplants and damage a 4th before the obelisk shut down. I even avoided taking out any other enemy structures so they would not get power.
All I can think of this masterful trolling of nod is these famous words kANE WILL NOT BE PLEASED ! lol. Especially after nuking their own base. We all know can survived even if GDI in this point in time doesn't know. I can only imagine so I just survived massive Ion strike on temple prime in Europe but you couldn't handle one GDI commander in Africa and not only that used engineer building capture strategy to a greater effect. Building base defenses and selling off our key assets and whos Idea was to nuke said defense in our own base. While at the same time had massive armoured division distracting and eradicating the bulk of our forces.
Loads gun now which one my foolish brethren should I expel from the brotherhood permanently. Underlings point fingers at each other. Him I guess I got expel both of you for good measure proceeds to shoot them. Then says brothers clean up this mess and we shall plan our next moves accordingly. I just picture some thing like that.
Then General Shepard asks how you defeated nod forces in Africa. Then that's when the Zap Brannigan line is used and General Shepard be ah good man then.
air strike reMISSION ACCOMPLISHED
what's the name of the song at 12:30
March to Doom
hardest mission...
Yup!
Although I like Red Alert look and gameplay more than Tiberian Dawn otherwise I wish that Tiberian Dawn music would play when playing Red Alert often. This music makes the game very enjoyable. :) I think Red Alert and Tiberian Dawn factions in the one game and selectable online would be even better. ::)
you should try out dawn of tiberium age then.
I highly suspect that this would be the order of "power": NOD>GDI>Allies>Soviets. NOD's buggies and bikes are way overpowered, GDI's engineer rush is very potent. Allies in RA1 is afaik the strongest faction in multiplayer simply because the soviets can't do anything other than building tanks. RA1 tanks are stronger than Dawn's though, that might swing things a bit.
speed?
mammoth tank survival
Speedrun - Efficiency 0% lol
Win any mission only with civilians challenger lmao
"NO GAY SANDBAGS". Uses "GAY ENGINEERS" instead.
"gay engineers" do you think they sucked each other off in the back of that APC?
Also GAY tanks, GAY harvesters, GAY rocket soldiers, GAY buildings ;D
Fug me that was a hard mission
CAN'T HELP SUBSCRIBING YOU!
Try out C&C 2005:
