"As far as I know, anyone that is doing a review / preview either came out here to Vegas or one of our PR people flew out there with the game for them to play. We're very protective of our title. I don't think anyone will be given an unsupervised copy until we're gold."

It looks like there is a $10 difference between the Platinum and normal edition of TS at Babbages as well. If you preordered TS for $45, then you have ordered the normal one and needless to say if you ordered the more expensive one, then Platinum is what you'll get. Check out this page to see what I'm talking about(scroll down to Command & Conquer).

IanRules: Is there a feature no one ever heard about (even your wife) that will be in the final game?
Aaron: My wife could care less about this game. She's more into RE2 and SH on the PlayStation. Anyway, I think the feature not a lot of people are talking about is the waypoint system. It is truly innovative.

IanRules: Finally, any cool bugs (funny things happening) you saw in TS so far?
Aaron: When the cyborg is in the red, he becomes cut in half and crawls around with on his arms Terminator style. It's funny to watch, but it also makes him hard to hit because he's basically crouching and his armor rating goes up.

Pac-Man01: Do you still have air-to-air combat?
Aaron: No. They didn't have air-to-air.

Pac-Man01: There are rumors that TS is finished...
Aaron: No. "Couple weeks away, give or take."

Finally the waiting is over...

I have installed the modem (external 3Com US Robotics 56k message modem) and plugged it into the COM1 serial port. The problem is that whenever I try to use it, it doesn't dial and gives me the following error:
"The computer is not receiving a response from the modem. Check that the modem is plugged in, and if nesessary, turn the modem off, and then turn it back on again."
It is plugged in and turned on and there aren't any hardware conflicts, so I can't figure out what's wrong with it. The driver is installed properly and the COM port is working.

MaDSt0na739: Will the forgotten attack those "Tiberium Creatures?"
Aaron Cohen: Yes.

MaDSt0na739: Which unit has the longest range?
Aaron Cohen: There are a few weapons that can reach the entire map.

MaDSt0na739: Will there be secret missions in TS?
Aaron Cohen: Could be.

Tiberian Weather: There will be a number of 'weather' effects that add element of random chaos to the game. Meteor strikes can cause massive amounts of damage to units and structures, and spawn new Tiberium fields around the crater where the meteor hits. Deadly ion storms, which can last for minutes, rain powerful bolts of lightning down on the map and render units that employ advanced technology; stealth units for instance, ineffective. Tiberium itself forms another part of the environment. It now comes in standard green and new blue. Blue Tiberium is rarer and more potent, and therefore worth a lot more. It is also extremely explosive. Enough so that and ore collector loaded with it will be, in essence, a 'mobile nuke'. Even fields of uncollected blue Tiberium may be set off in chain reactions by certain events/units, although that means throwing away an awful lot of resources.

TiberianSun.de: If a infantry-unit runs over a blue instead of a green Tiberium-field, will it die faster? Are there any differences?
Aaron: Yeah, there are some. Blue Tiberium is much more deadly!

TiberianSun.de: Do you get the Multi-Missile (Warhead) once you build the Temple of NOD?
Aaron: Yes, you get the Multi-Missile after you build the Temple of NOD.

TiberianSun.de: If Orcas or other air-units crash, does that create a crater?
Aaron: Yes!

Captain Zero: If a diskthrower, or a rocketsoldier gets squished, would they explode under the gigantic presure from the MM2's feet, giving it a little damage, so that there misurable life didn't end with no cause?
Aaron Cohen: Nope. He dies meaninglessly.

Captain Zero: Can the Wolverine squish people? (in real life I bet it could) :)
Aaron Cohen: Nope. In real life, it would probably just push people around.
