WOO WOOO.
sorry i couldnt contain myself.
today is your lucky day. you hit 21!
Sorry if i'm a bit nuts, but that is what C&C does to me
a while ago i lamented the same sad sonet. and someone answered me.
i wanted C&C Tiberian Dawn modified to have all the current features of,
say, Tiberian Sun.
and someone did it! they mod'd TS to look and act and play like Tiberian
Dawn.
So when i got your message, i said. hmmmmmmmmm
what if someone did TS mod like RA!
and i found it... mod #21 on the list is :
"21. Red Alert Gold for Tiberian Sun v1.2
Date Added: 8/1/2000
Author: Red Alert Gold
Size: 9.3 MB
Current Rating (Rate!): 9/10 (10 votes)
This modification is designed to bring back the happy offensive war-fest
of
Red Alert using the Tiberian Sun engine. This version brings back Red
Alert
Gold through Tiberian Sun. Many of the units retain their same unit
statistics. If you loved Red Alert and were vastly disappointed with
aspects
of Tiberian Sun, then you'll be in for a treat. The tanks are back in the
role they played in Red Alert. The super weapons, for the most part, are
gone."
it can be found at :
http://www.planetcnc.com/files/main/index.asp?category=tiberiansun§ion=modifications&page=3&sort=&order=desc&pagesize=
so test it out. it seems to be done by a different person than did TD. I
think you will like it.
hmmmmmm, you do need TS to play it (and maybe Firestorm?, check with the
author)

3 hours? child's play. my 2 buds and i would play TS againg the AI. we
would
be shoulder to shoulder and backs to the wall for 5+ hours fighting the
good
fight. But hey, I'm happy for you
