Kane7345: When is tiberian sun coming out for the people who preordered it cause some people say the 24th while others say the 27th 4 everybody?
Tim-WS: Here is how it works. Most stores will be ABLE to sell on the 27th. If, however, a store decides to spend gobs of mony to ship their shippment overnight, they MIGHT be able to sell a day or two before...

Westwood Studios is quite a magical place, away fromt he shiny lights of the DisneyLand for Adults (casinos) and the bustle of traffic up and down the Vegas strip. Full of comical and not to mention friendly people its walls echo with good spirits and great stories. Picture a job that you could wear anything you wanted, provided it was decent, and do what you wanted just so long as you got the work done.

I saw the large TS signage go up this morning at the computer game store downstairs from work today and went in to ask them when TS would be available.
I was told that they had called to put in their order today with their suppliers and that TS would be on sale on the 25th of August for A$75 or something (can't remember exactly but around there).
I asked him about whether they would be the premium edition but he had no idea.
Store is PC Genie in Sydney CDB!

I was flipping through the pages of the latest issue of CGW, and something got my attention. On page 68 there was a preview of TS and they said, "The grandaddy of the RTS genre is expected to be reborn hard later this month (August 23.)" Was this an error? Or is Westwood planning a "sneak attack?"

It all began during the 1997 Christmas Season. Westwood Studios was one of the largest companies in the Real Time Strategy genre, having developed and released such classics as Dune 2, Command & Conquer, and Red Alert. They thought they could hide behind their name...were they ever wrong!

No matter what new features are present or how revolutionized gaming becomes, there will always be limitations. Whether these limitations are due to how the game was made or caused by someone else's choice, they're always present. Such limitations are evident in Red Alert editing (Using RA Mixer, the universal conversion tool for RA).

Ah, Command & Conquer. Who would have guessed telling little tanks to shoot each other would be so much fun? This classic game by Westwood Studios proved to be one of the best RTS games ever, setting a new standard for the genre. In 1996, WW released the "prequel", Red Alert, which was, needless to say, evolutionary rather then revolutionary. It was tons of fun but not a big step over the original. The biggest problem with RA was the balance. The word "tank rush" has become a dreaded word for RTS fans ever since, as this pathetic tactic easily beat the most carefully planned strategy in RA. Well, up next is part 3 in the Tiberian Saga: C&C Tiberian Sun. Here's a look a what's to come in this highly anticipated (and very late) sequel to the original.

You can pump out units FAST! You can also lay down buildings quickly. That meant that the units were fairly small so not too much detail was visible. Since the tournament games were only 15 minutes long (they did give us a "to the death" match for finals though). As far as I could tell, making three war factories (or barracks, etc) will improve your unit building rate. Also, the ability to queue up to 5 units in your barracks and 5 in your war factory was very nice.

As you can see, there are different gates for the different orientations.

And finally, the Electromagnetic Pulse Cannon.

[e-3n]: When Tiberian Sun is released, can I have the Tiberian Sun display stand and the 'Coming Soon' Boxes?
Store Manager: Well, sometimes they request them back, but most of the time we just toss them in the dumpster. If you like I can take down your name and number and I'll call you if it's avaliable.

Dawg: Do you know when you will be getting Tiberian Sun in?
General Manager: We are supposed to get it the 25th and release it the 27th. We have already got a few shipments of it though.

Dawg: Can I see? Just to see it? Not buy it.
GM: Sorry, I can't let you do that.

Tiberian Sun certainly looks like it's going to hit the mark. We managed to play well into the single player game as well as playing some cracking multiplayer matches, where all of the new units become available. Tiberian Sun looks likely to succeed not because it offers anything radically new (and some people will criticise it for this no doubt), but because it vastly enhances one of the best games of all time. And it's a damn fine, totally addictive title to play in its own right. Now, I reckon I need more power plants for that Firestorm Defence...

• TiberiumSun.com is back up!
• Tiberian Explosion (this site) will be getting its new host very soon, I hope!

After tomorrow i will have TS :)))))
And it will be stolen (in gold)
Pirates will make it here a serie and i will buy it on wednesday for 5$ :))))
That's easy :)

How will they get it?
While delivering to the factory
It is not stolen it is "stolen" (copied from gold and someonewas bribed ...)

Why are you doing this?
I'm only spreading the information ......
It's simple ---- i will get a free copy ...

Where can you get it?
U r going to the center of the city and finding the man
He has lot's of cd's with software ... [in] Odessa [Ukraine]

• In the first shot, there are some search lights, or destination markers, or something, coming from, or going to, a GDI guard tower.
• And in the second image, you can see Oxanna Kristoss, the head of the Nod propoganda, with Commander Slavik.
• That's Vega and Umagaan in the two cutscenes.
• The fifth one shows some Devil's Tongues burning a GDI consturction yard to the ground!
• And finally, that's the EMP Cannon. Looks pretty good!

All you have to do is to submit the worst accident that can happen to Tiberian Sun from now till August 27th, but, it has to be a funny one. Top ten most hilarious ones will be posted on WWU and the best one's creator will win a T-Shirt of NOD or GDI (He/She can choose!).

The things I quickly looked for when I was at EB was anything related to Tiberian Sun. It took me less than half a second, then I saw TS boxes sitting on a colorful display stand. I quickly ran over to the stand and picked up one of the boxes. It was empty (duh...) but I can already feel the power of the game blasting in my mind. It was a normal edition TS box, with a flip-open cover, which looks like this picture but with a "coming soon" logo. I stared at the box for new info but didn't find much. Inside the cover, there were GDI and NOD unit pictures, quotes from magazines, and game descriptions. In general, the box looked so damn good I thought I was already playing the game! :)

There's rumored that Electronic Arts, Westwood's parent company, is considering releasing other action figures from the CnC universe. I mean, wouldn't it be cool to have GDI and NOD figures lined up on your desk? If Blizzard can make action figures from their Starcraft and Warcraft games, then why not Give us Tiberian Sun action figures

At the expo, I was fortunate enough to play Tiberian Sun. I played the first level on the GDI side and played GDI in the tournament. The Jump Jet Infantry were odd. They looked like they had wings and reminded me of a bat somehow. The infantry were also hard to get used to from the common rifle infantry from Red Alert. The infantry looked more rounded, walked more life like and had better replies than just yes sir. Titans and Infantry were used as a primary force for attacking. The power turbines proved very useful for saving space rather than building another power planet everytime you need more power. I was also able to build a MM2 and I was quite impressed. It walked like an AT-AT from Star Wars, but more flexible and much much more powerful. Sadly, my MM2 was destroyed within minutes after a rush of orcas, infantry and titans.

NOD forces surround San Antonio

In an effort to take back what were once NOD strongholds, a division of armored vehicles and a battalion of assorted troops have taken most of southern Texas and surrounded the GDI fortifications at San Antonio. Although most supply routes have been blocked or are under constant attack, the Super Tunnel that was just recently finished has been supplying the city with uninterrupted food, fuel, and reinforcements.

Also, during the night, a squad of Orca Personnel Carriers began evacuating civilians and some Carry-All's have brought in Emergency Services and taken out key items of cultural, scientific, and economical value to an undisclosed location north of Dallas.
