Covert Operations

The one and only add-on pack for Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn. "The Covert Operations" simply adds some very difficult missions into the wonderful game.

Those Covert Operations missions were really, really irritating. But fun!

Sole Survivor

A spin-off of Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn. You play the role of a single soldier in your quest to defeat all the other soliders in the vicinity, picking up upgrades and vehicles along the way.

I was playing Sole Survivor last night and some Nod punk Chem Sprayed me to death. I was so mad!

Counterstrike

Counterstrike is the first add-on pack for Command & Conquer: Red Alert. It adds new units to Red Alert such as Wonderdogs and Super Jets, as well as giving players new missions and unlocking the secret of the Ant Missions hinted at in the original Red Alert manual.

No, not Counter-Strike, the wildly-popular Half-Life modification. Counterstrike. For Red Alert.

Command & Conquer

Command & Conquer(sometimes written "Command and Conquer") is a large series of games created by the now-defunct Westwood Studios. Command & Conquer is one of the most critically acclaimed real-time strategy games, spawning several a few sequels, prequels, a handful of add-on packs, and various ports to 32-bit and 64-bit video game consoles. You play the part of either the Global Defense Inititive(GDI) or the Brotherhood of Nod(Nod) in your mission of taking control of the world through force. You build your bases and rally your forces, then promptly obliterate the opposing side as brutally as you can, leaving no survivors. It's basically a futuristic war game, in the most rudimentary definition. The most recent game(listed below) truly pales in comparison to the earlier titles due to the fact that EA Games habitually puts quantity over quality.

Global Defense Inititive

One of two fighting factions in the Command & Conquer series of games. Generally considered "the good guys," GDI takes it upon themselves to keep peace in the world while keeping the Brotherhood of Nod in its place.

General Shephard runs the Global Defense Initiative while Kane runs the Brotherhood of Nod.

Tiberian Twilight

The fan-made name for the third installment in the Command & Conquer series of games which will never see the light of day.

I find it unfair that Tiberian Twilight will never be a reality. Thanks a lot, EA Games!!
