Lionel: When allied with another player, will you be able to move each others units and/or build/use their structures.
Aaron: No. You are still commanding your army, and only your army.

Lionel: How do you control the Nod units that go underground once there underground?
Aaron: You can band select them, or group select them, while they are under. Best thing to do is assign them to a group (CTRL+1 thru 5). Then, if you want to change their orders, just select them. (press 1 for group 1). Make sense?

Gen. Sheppard: We all know the Mammoth Mark 2 is huge, but exactly how big? For instance, if TS's engine were still tile-based, how many tiles would it fill?
Aaron: Hmmmmmmm. It would be about five stories high in real life. In the CG, it is incredibly large. In the game, the proportions aren't exact, but it takes up four or five tiles.

Gen. Sheppard: How is the integration of WW Chat being handled in TS? Is it going to be more like Blizzard's Battle.net?
Aaron: It will be fully integrated into the game, like Battle.net.

Gen. Sheppard: Feel free to give any other tasty bits of info! =)
Aaron: The most important thing I can say is that it will be out late this summer.
Aaron: Other than that, I can say that it's an incredible game. I've been able to play the alpha of the release version now for a couple months and it is awesome. I can't wait for the guys in development to finish up.
Aaron: A few fav things...linking waypoints, blowing up bridges, stealth generators, cracking ice, wild mutated animals, tunneling units, armed civilians, veterancy.
Aaron: So much that's new, and yet it's still the C&C I know and love. Brings a tear to my eye.

Missile Silo
Obviously, this is the building used to control the launch of Nod's missile weapons. The first type is the Multi-Missile Warhead, a terrifying armament that splits into several smaller rockets over its intended taget and rains fiery death on everything below. The other missile type is the dreaded Chemical Missile, made from mulch refined by the Tiberium Waste Facility. On impact, the warhead starts a new growth of the super tough Tiberium in veins spreading out from the impact point. Nothing can ever be built on these land areas again. As if that wasn't bad enough, if the spread isn't checked, there's a chance that something called a Vein Monster will be created. These monsters attack everything within their area and are really hard to get rid of. No wonder GDI Commanders flinch every time they even hear this weapon mentioned...

Laser Fence
This is a really nasty force wall that cannot be broken down by conventional means. The only way to drop one of these babies is to either cut off its power source or by destroying one of its fence posts. It does have one limitation in that it can only be build facing one of the four cardinal directions. Big deal. Your opponent still can't get in...

Heliport Pad
Just like the Orca Pad for the GDI, the Heliport pad allows air attack units to land and refuel. Other than that, it's just a big ol' piece of flat land.

Tiberium Waste Facility
This is a specialized Tiberium Refinery (available only to Nod) that collects the mulch produced by the Nod Weed Eaters (see the Brotherhood Units list for more info). It takes this highly volatile mulch and uses it to produce Chemical Missiles, a really nasty weapon.

Alex: On the past screen shots, the Mammoth Mark II was red. Does it belong to NOD?
Chris: The MM II was not ever shown, what you saw was the NOD version of the original giant.

Alex: On the new screenshot, one can see buildings from C&C 1. Is it possible to build it? And why did Westwood build it into TS?
Chris: Unfortunately they are functionally useless. The buildings are to be there to bring a flair of the past into the play.

Alex: On the same screenshots there are a few small vehicles. They seem to be transporting something from the buildings. Is that correct?
Chris: Yes, they transport some extremely important artifacts.

Alex: On another new screenshot, pyramids are seen. Does this scene play in Egypt? Before it was said that Tiberium couldn't spread in the desert.
Chris: NOD likes pyramids and fights with the GDI in each angle of the earth. Tiberium grows everywhere. In life-hostile environments like the desert, it simply grows more slowly.

He furthermore said that he is unhappy about all sites that ripped of the video and wants that these sites delete the video and do NOT offer it for download. Because of lack of time he said I shall send out this message to you guys before their lawyers will start working. So please delete the gamestar video from your servers is you do not have the official permission by GameStar, Germany (no site had permission when I phoned them).

• Gamestar did not have an agreement with WW to be the only people videoing at E3.
• They offered the video 'free', as they describe the cover CD as free.
• 99 percent of the people downloading the video wouldn't have bought Gamestar if they couldn't get the movie elsewhere.
• The costs of actually taking action would be counterproductive plus bad publicity.
• And for the above reasons, they almost certainly couldn't persuade our servers to take us offline.

CGW: Tiberian Sun is close to shipping, and we'll bring you all the details on the final version of the game. It's not just a graphically enhanced expansion, it's a dramatic new experience with a new engine, storyline, and deformable 3D terrain. Find out how the AI learns from you in our exclusive overview next month.
PLUS: First strategies on how to win!

Spot all the Building Architect buildings and you could win the EA game of your choice!
First, go to Gallery Contest to find out how to enter ... then check out the latest CityCam and try to find all the new buildings.

Communications Tower:
Once you get this building up and running, you'll get access to a radar screen that will keep you abreast of enemy presence within range of the center. While this is a lot like the Comm. Center in Command & Conquer, this time around you'll be able to add modules onto the basic structure to add new functionality. Here's the two upgrades that we know about so far...

Threat Evaluation System:
This add-on to the Communications Tower will figure out what attacking force is the most dangerous during an assault on your base. Once it has determined the most serious threat, it will automatically use your existing base defenses to try and eliminate it first.

Ion Control/ SAT Uplink:
This is a special control system designed to handle any satellites that you have managed to put in orbit. The first type is the ION Cannon, which works much as it did in C&C, blowing the crap out of anything below it once it gets charged up. The other satellite is the Planetary Camera, which also has to charge up, but instead of destroying what's below it blindly, takes a detailed 15X15 cell shot of any area of the map. This gives you an amazing ability to pinpoint exactly where your enemy is and what he's doing.

Technology Research Center
You won't be able to build the more advanced structures in the game straight out of the gate. First you'll need to construct one of these science centers that will in turn give you the know-how necessary to construct buildings that require more advanced tech.

Equipment Transport Bay
One great thing about being in the GDI is that you won't always have to build everything for yourself. Once you've built one of these landing bays, you'll be able to directly order units from home base, which will be carried in by giant dropships. This can really save your ass when the fighting is getting tight and you have more money than military power.

Mounting GDI forces aim to ensure safe evacuation.

Talks aimed at ending the conflict between Nod forces and Civilians broke down early today after Nod officers balked at GDI's demands and failed to return for a late-night session.

"The Nod delegation has presented a proposal that would not provide a safe return of the Tiberium poisoned civilians and full withdrawal of Nod forces from all European cities," Lt. General David Greenshaw the leader of the GDI military delegation, said in Sarajevo earlier today."

Captain Zero: In the new Gamestar video, it shows a guy building infantry and after he builds one, the rocket infantry and cyborg appear on the sidebar. Is this some sort of bug, placement art, or something like that? Rade: No, whoever was doing the demo probably cheated to get the build options.

TiBeRi0-TEF: Recently while watching the movie called 'violent', i noticed that one person, while playing TS, was zooming into the Battle-Field. I thought that this feature was canned, or am i just seeing things?
Virtual Ted: Not sure if they will leave it in there or not. We'll see.

RSN: Is there by any chance going to be a Nod site like the Gdi Official Tiberian Sun site you have now?
Virtual Ted: Hmm...maybe!

Aaron: It is a persistant and flexible way point system. Persistant means when you put down a route, it stays there. You can use it for any troop you have. It is flexible in that you can move or edit the waypoints in any given system. Each set of waypoints are color coded. When I play I like to set up exploration routes and attack routes. Thanks to color coding, I know which is which. For the exploration routes, I'll tell my troops to just move, so they will not return fire or engage the enemy. For my attack routes, I use the hot key guard command, which tells my troops to follow a set of waypoints and engage any enemy they see. Also, a waypoint system may be linked, so you have a circular patrol route. Mostly, you'll have them circling your base or perhaps checking various choke points. Does all that make sense?

Royalty: Hows Ts looking?? Could you give me the month you think?? Rade: The game is really looking good. We'll be going gold pretty soon and we will announce it on the Westwood web site. Keep in mind that it will take a little while for it to hit the shelves once it has gone gold.
