A friend and I used to joke that Engineers are simply holding back their true ability until they manage to infiltrate a building, at which point they pull out a pair of guns and go Rambo on everyone inside before taking it over
I used to use Nod and engy rush with tunnelers before pavement was properly laid in multiplayer. After about 4 games I gave up on it and just played Starcraft.
@@TheCNCChannel what ? in tiberian sun, you only needed one engineere to capture a building. same in red alert 2 in red alert 1 you needed 3 or 4 to capture one building unless it was badly damaged. correct me if i am wrong
You ever notice how much more distinctive the audio was in older games? I mean, you hear any section of this video... you know what's going on, you know what faction is being played, and there's certainly no mistaking what game it is.
Of course. I’ve stopped listening to contemporary music. And even stopped playing contemporary games. The quality was better back then, people didn’t think of just profiting
Except both sides use the EXACT SAME AUDIO for 90% of their units! Wolverine, Titan, Mammoth Mk II, Mammoth Tank,Tick Tank, Stealth tank? Same lines they all sound the same.
Considering how utterly forgettable the music was? Yea you can only hear the lines because you forget everything else out about the game. Tiberium Sun might have had the worst soundtrack Klepacki ever made.
Well-played... I played very conservatively and methodically back when this game came out, and revisited it about 10 years ago to find it holds up super well. RA2 was the peak though...
@RogerwilcoFoxtrot you didn't mention RA3? Once you get over the fact that they changed the ore fields into ore nodes (like in generals, which is also a loved title, right?), it actually is a really good, entertaining and pretty game!
Potential way you can speed this up: Build a cyborg commando. Once you capture the 2nd base, break through to silo island with artillery, capture the Temple of Nod, and build the commando. By the end of the level it will have achieved more than engineers built in the same timeframe, and is more flexible than artillery.
Hard Mode in TS is so inane. Your units do less damage and AI does more damage. I remember a CC coming into my base and wrecking me, including crushing my MKII!
@@TheCNCChannel Well their loss then lol. Its the one i mainly started out with and even over the years still the preferred one even though some of the others are fun. Actually need to play through the campaigns again.
My strategies is stealing everything more than $500 with engineer/barracks strat,then disk thrower wipe out the rest junks(plants 2 blackout NOD in few secs),Mission efficency reach more than 135% more than $16000(engineer earn more than harvester) I had finally
There’s no word of a remaster of TS. The only confirmed remastered games to date are TD and RA, but somehow people misunderstood TS and RA2 to be in the mix
@@TheCNCChannel I understand that, but with the first two having been confirmed and this is more or less exactly what the diehard fans want it's a little safe to assume TS and RA2 are next on the block since they're also old enough to warrant a Remaster.
One way to make this slightly more quicker. Apc full of engineers, carryall them straight to kanes pyramid island (sams will destroy the carryall but apc should survive) and capture the temple, pyramid, and more importantly the pesky missile silo. No more cluster missile, well there is but on your side.
Haha, I’ll have you know that this was my strategy at first, simultaneous engie capturing of the west, south and pyramid bases. Then I switched to engies only on the west and south bases with artilleries for the pyramid, that cut the time by 3 minutes
@@adamfreeman1219 Nope, try it yourself. You'll find out real soon that engies can't beat a group of tanks in speed so they should be used to complement and not replace your tanks :)
Man does this bring back memories, including but not limited to how absurdly overpowered Nod Artillery was when the game first launched. Auto tracking shells , unmatched range, and the ability to destroy the landscape.
They were really hateful in multiplayer, and the Nod multi-missile would destroy the ground around your structures, making it impossible to build. There are elements of this game that were poorly thought out. Now that C&C has received remakes, I'm curious as to how the devs may approach TS and RA 2 if they get one.
I'm sad that the first cnc and red alert has more attention than their second iterations, which I feel is the peak of their era. Both gameplay and art quality
Took me ages to complete this one, had to rush a bunch of hover mlrs to the missile base to destroy the power source and conyard before I could do anything else
That southern base man. Just don't mind that GDI captured the War Factory or just build a barracks and the APC is just chilling there. Nothing to see here
Well they are good scout unit and they detect stealth... if you play first time and dont know where are the bases and how they are defended you cant do things like this. They made it properly in RA2 with rocketeer. I myself prefer minimum casualties playtrough... that for example includes capturing all buildings, in this mission its also possible to prevent nod from launching the multimissile by landing an APC with engeniers on the pyramid island. and immediately after ICMB goes down capture it and launch attack from there capturing all NOD buildings which are badly defended. though I have to admit having like 30 orca bombers to carpet bomb the shit out of the 3d missile Island is also fun.
When you’re on hi res you feel a bit distant from the action because the units and everything are smaller. On low res it seems more exciting. On multiplayer though, hi res works better for Tiberian Sun and probably RA2 too.
RC1985, hm, I see what you mean. I personally like everything to be smaller, it’s strangely more exiting for me that way, I like to see small dudes run around frantically and do stuff. Thanks for the reply, great video X)
Faithslayer it’s interesting that you see it that way. Viewing a car accident upfront and from a watchtower, I’d certainly say the former’s more terrifying. But it’s all a matter of perspective isn’t it.
I'd love to see this game remade with elements from C&C Renegade incorporated.You'd build up your base defences and attack force in traditional view,then take over any unit switching between a first person perspective.I'd love to control a Titan or Mammoth MK2 in FPS mode or defending your base as a mere rifleman,with modern graphics.Maybe it's just me being nostalgic?
I wouldn’t mind that for a campaign game. It makes things more complex and interesting. It won’t bode well with the competitive community however since being RTS players they want it all RTS
Engineer the most disbalanced unit in all C&C games, too much powerful. C&C could be another cybersport game, but its remains as a cool singleplayer and fun multiplayer game
... i instantly become intimidated by your skill thinking I train on campaign to battle pliars like you online... that's not how I play at all.... 3 bases in 15 minutes....
Nocturnsen nope, if you look closely I shift my tanks. Meaning that as soon as a tank comes out I group it into the existing group so it goes to wherever I command the group to go. This is a lot more accurate than waypointing because the group in the battlefield will constantly change locations
@@Nocturnsen Why you try to "backseat" speedrun master who is really active in speedrun community and knows this game all around better than almost 100% of us? I think he knows way better than you which way is faster.. Damn backseaters.
What kind of "hard difficulty" is this? I believe that you're playing in hard but when I made an engineer assault to the south node base, they were waiting me with 4 stealth tanks and 5 tick tanks. I guess time cause this.
Zoux Google ‘tiberian sun speedrun’ here and you’ll see what I mean. I’m the first to do a legit glitchless speedrun. Nearly 20 years since the game was introduced
@@TheCNCChannel From what I remember Firestorm didn't actually hurt the timeline at all, but then again, I'm not one of the ultra die-hard C&C fans like some.

Lol!
A friend and I used to joke that Engineers are simply holding back their true ability until they manage to infiltrate a building, at which point they pull out a pair of guns and go Rambo on everyone inside before taking it over
Man I forgot how brilliant Tiberian Sun soundtrack is. Makes me want to replay it all over again.
Hey, man, search TH-cam for tiberian sun ost! I listen to it regularly
I am playing it over again right now.
Engineers are easilly the most overpowered thing in all of C and C
That’s why they toned the engie down in Red Alert
I used to use Nod and engy rush with tunnelers before pavement was properly laid in multiplayer. After about 4 games I gave up on it and just played Starcraft.
@@TheCNCChannel what ? in tiberian sun, you only needed one engineere to capture a building.
same in red alert 2
in red alert 1 you needed 3 or 4 to capture one building unless it was badly damaged. correct me if i am wrong
@@jalliboy That's my point. It takes only one engie in TD so in RA they made it 4 since the engie is OP
@@TheCNCChannel okay.. but red alert came way before tib sun ! ?

Well-played... I played very conservatively and methodically back when this game came out, and revisited it about 10 years ago to find it holds up super well. RA2 was the peak though...
Yup. RA2 was the heyday of classic C&C
@RogerwilcoFoxtrot EA threw it out. EA also crunches people
@RogerwilcoFoxtrot you didn't mention RA3? Once you get over the fact that they changed the ore fields into ore nodes (like in generals, which is also a loved title, right?), it actually is a really good, entertaining and pretty game!
C&C3 is great with the addition of a Alien race. 🤙
y'know, for someone who's replayed this ad nauseam, I've never really sent APCs behind the cliff side. clever.

A.I. be like "Next game, we turning on Multiengineer. smh >.>"
Lol!
Like me rushing Preachers in Populous 3 and simply converting all the enemies into my own without having to fight or train any myself.
I see you, Lt. Eva (Athena Massey).
I forgot she was in this game too.
That base grab may just have been the sickest thing I have ever seen in my life.
Freaking smooth mate!
I *just* played this mission on normal, and was wondering what a speedrun would look like.
I literally LOL'd when I saw that engineer/barracks strat.
Good that GDI have Lord Vader backing then up!
vader orders GDI i knew it
LOL
better love story then twilight
Hard Mode in TS is so inane. Your units do less damage and AI does more damage. I remember a CC coming into my base and wrecking me, including crushing my MKII!
As someone who never beat this game, this was fun to watch. Thank you for uploading.
Bradley Ellis if you don’t know you can download the games at CNCnet.org that is if you wish to play again at some point
Tiberian Sun, Till Today my Most loved CnC game. Nice one man
Thanks. It’s rare to see people preferring TS over other C&C titles. It’s usually at the bottom of the list
@@TheCNCChannel Well their loss then lol. Its the one i mainly started out with and even over the years still the preferred one even though some of the others are fun. Actually need to play through the campaigns again.
You can download the game for free from cncnet.org and that allows you to play online with other players too :)
Look at the clock ticking down - double time. *The sweats*
3:31 so there were C&C TD Sprites in this game?! never knew that! i love it
The tiberian sun has risen!!!!!
The dialogue is cheesy as hell. “You’re not God, Kane.” Oh.
It's all part of the fun of the game lol
@@adamfreeman1219 True, the cheesy scenes are part of the winning formula
Time to tackle that nod campaign ;)
Of course :)
Mission efficency 35%, lol
Still a pretty good kill ratio, though!
Wow that building barracks and engineers in the NOD base and then building more of then was wild.
Yeah, ive never seen such abuse with engineers than what I saw in this video, chefs kiss!
firestorm lorewise it makes better sense to capture the pyramid...
You mean actual consistency wise since Kane and Neil knock it out inside of the pyramid :P
My strategies is stealing everything more than $500 with engineer/barracks strat,then disk thrower wipe out the rest junks(plants 2 blackout NOD in few secs),Mission efficency reach more than 135% more than $16000(engineer earn more than harvester) I had finally
oh Mammoth, so trigger happy
In the end he went home . . .
13:50 best Mammoth combo!
Brilliant use of engineers though, cutting thru enemy defense like a hot knife thru the butter!
Haha that was a facepalm moment
Finally someone made a speedrun without abusing exploits.
Yeah, I despise those glitched runs that claim legibility because no third-party software was used. Smh
I'm a little giddy for the eventual Tiberian Sun Remaster they'll do after Tiberian Dawn.
There’s no word of a remaster of TS. The only confirmed remastered games to date are TD and RA, but somehow people misunderstood TS and RA2 to be in the mix
@@TheCNCChannel I understand that, but with the first two having been confirmed and this is more or less exactly what the diehard fans want it's a little safe to assume TS and RA2 are next on the block since they're also old enough to warrant a Remaster.
Yeah I’d like to believe your guess is right. They should remaster everything except the post EA-takeover crap lol
2024 and still nothing
If you wait for the enemy harvester to begin offloading to the tiberium refinery, you can capture both with an engineer.
13:51
Poor engineers...
Damn, you took over those Nod bases with them engineers like how Coronavirus takes over the human body!
One way to make this slightly more quicker. Apc full of engineers, carryall them straight to kanes pyramid island (sams will destroy the carryall but apc should survive) and capture the temple, pyramid, and more importantly the pesky missile silo. No more cluster missile, well there is but on your side.

@@adamfreeman1219 Nope, try it yourself. You'll find out real soon that engies can't beat a group of tanks in speed so they should be used to complement and not replace your tanks :)
There's no replacement for tanks yes. But you need to get in there before dem tanks are built!
@@adamfreeman1219 I see no need to debate further, just try it out yourself.
I could never figure out how the game measures efficiency. Efficiency: 35%
He beat the mission in 16 minutes, what do you WANT?!
This game fucking rules it was the most epic CnC game ever.

Wasting Mammoths like that... unforgivable!
Impressive... Most impressive
Why must GDI resist Kanes will
Took me ages to complete this one, had to rush a bunch of hover mlrs to the missile base to destroy the power source and conyard before I could do anything else
good oldies
That's the kind of games I love! They just don't make them like they used to!
That southern base man. Just don't mind that GDI captured the War Factory or just build a barracks and the APC is just chilling there. Nothing to see here
If uncontrolled that southern base with make hordes of enemies so it has to be captured right after it's revealed
The fact the AI didn't try and fight back after you captured even the Conyard was very amusing. Guess they never figured a player would do that!
Zelinkokitsune lol, the AI doesn’t go after you if you capture buildings unless the building is within the AI unit’s guard range
that ion cannon mustve really fucked him up in the last war
Wish they would do a remake o this
I hope so too
@@TheCNCChannel There are fan made remakes of Tiberian Sun missions in the Tiberium Essence mod. That might be the closest we get.
Love the soundtrack. Ahhhh
Not sure whose side that Mammoth tank was on, killing your engies and your barracks lol
It was killing the enemy, not my base
@@TheCNCChannel Ye, but in the process it killed at least 1 engie and your barracks with friendly fire
@@Ghooostie Edit - now I get you, I thought you were talking about the classic mammies not the MK2 lol
He's talking about the Mammoth Mk II that hit the southwest base.
@@Zelinkokitsune Oh lol I thought he was talking about the classic mammoths :P
So the best way to speedrun GDI is using NOD artillery. -_-
I found NOD missions to be harder expecially that one where you must sabotage mammoth tank MK2 production with a few bikes and cyborgs
Nope. Nod missions are far too easy to beat as you’ll see in the upcoming vids.
The A.I. in this mission is ridiculous, the north base keeps spamming artillery until they have about 10 and I can't even get near the base...
Is it me or are jump jet infantry totally useless?
They are useless in fact. Underpowered and the dimwits land in the middle of a thousand enemies after they’re done with one target
They have stealth detection and can attack air units but thier dps is low and that they land is a bummer
Well they are good scout unit and they detect stealth... if you play first time and dont know where are the bases and how they are defended you cant do things like this.
They made it properly in RA2 with rocketeer.
I myself prefer minimum casualties playtrough... that for example includes capturing all buildings, in this mission its also possible to prevent nod from launching the multimissile by landing an APC with engeniers on the pyramid island. and immediately after ICMB goes down capture it and launch attack from there capturing all NOD buildings which are badly defended.
though I have to admit having like 30 orca bombers to carpet bomb the shit out of the 3d missile Island is also fun.
I fail the independence day movie audition so I become a C&C actor instead
Ok...had to watch it twice to figure out what the hell happened
Nicely done 🙃
Excellent run as usual! Will you be doing NOD next or the GDI campaign for Firestorm?
Nod first :)
Ah yes, the most powerful weapon in the entire C&C arsenal, autism.
if they remaster anything i hope its the mammoth!
Just a question - why not play the game with modern resolution and launcher? For authenticity and clean speedrun?
When you’re on hi res you feel a bit distant from the action because the units and everything are smaller. On low res it seems more exciting. On multiplayer though, hi res works better for Tiberian Sun and probably RA2 too.

So If we play as Nod what we are Legion? Kabal? or someone?
