axeil posted:I remember this mission being insanely hard too. I haven't replayed any of the Soviet missions yet, but even after 20+ years, Khalkis Island is still burned into my brain. The way I remember doing it was after clearing the mainland was just building a ton of Yaks and having them hit the command center & other stuff on the island. The AA guns would murder a fair chunk, so I'd try and time them with recon flights, as those would draw some of the fire away from the fighters. Aside from that, I recall the Allies would sometimes get a landing craft full of reinforcements on that beach to the Southeast, and they'd ruin paratroopers I'd try and drop ahead of any landing. I'd build up as much as I can, with subs slowly clearing the Allied ships, and then go full D-Day with several ships dropping troops on the Southwest beach. Probably not the best or most efficient way to do it, but that's how 10-year old me did it.

Having now finished the Nod and GDI, the one thing that I didn’t like some were the Commando/small units with no base missions, and I remember those were the ones I had the most trouble with back in the day. It’s a lot of trail and error (Also save scumming) for some of them, but the difficult slider on TD made them more tolerable. Not gonna lie, I think I did most of those on Casual. Also, for those who finished the GDI campaign, which ending did you get? I thought finishing the temple with the ion cannon got Kane vaporized at the end, but I got one with him getting hit by a ton of bricks that I don’t remember at all... Finally, add me to the list wanting Tiberian Sun & RA2 remasters ASAP. Both of those were great, and I loved the post-apocalyptic/cyberpunk-ish at points look of TS so much.

Nostalgamus posted:Was the temple the last building standing when it got ion cannoned? I think that's also a requirement. That might have been it, as I think there was a silo or a power plant left. I know for sure the Ion cannon was the last thing to hit it, as I’d been hitting it first with Orcas and called them off, gave it a second or two to be sure nothing else was coming in, and then fired the ion cannon. I think I saved shortly before that, so I’ll try it again later and see what happens...

obese retard posted:There are two endings for completing the GDI campaign that depend on how you destroy the Temple of Nod in the final mission. Having just gone through this myself, I think the temple also needs to be the last building standing when you hit it with the ion cannon. I finished it with the ion cannon but left some silos and power plants, and got the first ending. I reloaded my save, wiped every single last Nod bit from the rest of the map, then ion'd the temple to get the second ending.

Mind over Matter posted:God a Tiberian Sun remaster would be the best, best, best thing ever if it's the same quality as the Dawn/RA1 remasters. Dawn was the game that got me into the series and I loved it, but Sun was basically the game that defined my mid-teenage years. Yeah, I think I liked the look and feel of Tiberian Sun more than just about any other game in the franchise and that'd be awesome. Or, just give us that and RA2 and I'll be set.
