OCTOBER NEWS Part 2


26 October 1998
13 December 1998
That's right. The rumoured release date is before Christmas. BRILLIANT!
WARNING
There may be a VIRUS in the GDI and NOD themes for TS, especially if you got them from TiberiumSun.com. You should scan all the files from the theme (preferably all the files on your PC) or delete the theme. They are currently fixing the problem.
Subterranean Vehicle
TSCC had an interview with Rade from Westwood:
Ryan: So are there any multi-player only units or structures?
Rade: Not really, you'll see all of the units in the missions.

Ryan: When you play as GDI, and you detect a Nod subterranean unit with a Mobile Sonar Vehicle , can you then see that Nod unit?
Rade: You cannot see the unit, you will only be warned of it's presence.

Ryan: Is there anything you can do to stop a subterranean vehicle?
Rade: You can shoot it once it surfaces.

Ryan: When you detect it, do you know where it will surface?
Rade: You will not know where it will surface.

Ryan: And if you're Nod, and you're ordering a subterranean unit to go somewhere, can you change its final destination while the unit is en-route?
Rade: Maybe, depends on how it works out in play balancing.

Two Sites?
On Sunday, I said that there would be TWO official Tiberian Sun Web Sites - one for GDI, one for NOD. Now, Westwood have registered SIXTEEN domain names for the game. They are mostly just copies of the main site and some don't even work.
COMMANDANDCONQUER.COM
COMMANDANDCONQUER.NET
DAWN-OF-WAR.COM
THEBROTHERHOOD.COM
TIBERIANSUN.COM
TIBERIAN-SUN.COM
TIBERIANSUN.NET
TIBERIAN-SUN.NET
TIBERIANTWILIGHT.COM
TIBERIAN-TWILIGHT.COM
TIBERIANTWILIGHT.NET
TIBERIAN-TWILIGHT.NET
TIBERIUM.COM

New article at TiberianSun.com
There is an interesting article on Tiberium at Westwood's official TS site.
New Slide Show
There is a new Slide Show featuring 27 various Tiberian Sun images. Have a look at TiberiunSun.com.
Release Date (again)
I know this is really confusing - but I'm confused myself. Westwood now say they are aiming for a Christmas release, but they say that if the game isn't complete, it won't ship. They will lose a lot of money releasing the game after Xmas so lets hope they finish in time!
Westwood are Seeing Double!
There are now TWO official Tiberian Sun Websites: tiberiansun.com, for GDI to communicate through, and also the all new tiberium.com for NOD to provide their own broadcasts.

Newsletter
Here is Westwood's Tiberian Sun newsletter:
COMMAND & CONQUER TIBERIAN SUN WEBSITE RELEASED Westwood Studios, in conjunction with the Global Defense Initiative has launched its official COMMAND & CONQUER TIBERIAN SUN website to the world. WWW.TIBERIANSUN.COM has been designated the only official source of information regarding COMMAND & CONQUER TIBERIAN SUN. Visitors are encouraged to check back each week for new briefing information on units, personnel, and mission objectives, as well as updated information on the epic struggle between the Global Defense Initiative and the Brotherhood of NOD. During a recent press conference, GDI General James Solomon remarked "We would like to thank Westwood Studios for giving us a forum to speak on their official news site (www.tiberiansun.com). With Westwood's new TIBERIAN SUN software, promising commanders will be able to crush NOD influence and terrorism once and for all. We know that when it comes to choosing sides, they'll make the right choice." Westwood Studios President Brett Sperry also issued a statement. "We are pleased that GDI has chosen us to be their voice across the net. In fairness, we have also offered NOD a chance to speak in our public forum, but we have yet to receive a response from anyone in that organization." For further information, or to reserve your copy of COMMAND & CONQUER TIBERIAN SUN today, visit Tiberiansun.com.
Missions
There will be at least 13 missions for each side.

New Screenshots
Battleground: Tiberian Sun have got two new screenshots. Here is one of them:

The Adreneline Vault
There is a preview of Tiberian Sun at The Adreneline Vault. It includes some interesting info on the FMV cutscenes.
C&C in Lands of Lore?
In Land's of Lore 3, there will be six different worlds and one of them, Shattered Desert, is set in the Command and Conquer universe. In this world, you have to defuse a defense system inside a NOD temple. Check out Westwood's site for more info and some pictures.
Release Date
Unfortunately, It is now very unlikely that Command and Conquer 2: Tiberian Sun will be released this year. According to PC Gamer UK, who got their information from Westwood, the game won't be released until February 1999. This is due to time taken up over EA's take-over of Westwood.
