The cover art for the CD single also had a variation of the Tiberian Sun cover, with a female soldier instead of the male from the final release. Tiberian Sun was originally teased in the original 1995 Command & Conquer, with a rendered movie among the trailers of upcoming titles on the game CD, featuring a GDI Wolverine mech going through testing at a firing range.ĭuring the pre-launch marketing campaign, the German crossover metal band Think About Mutation did a Command & Conquer themed cover of Frankie Goes To Hollywood's "Two Tribes", in the music video the band wore NOD themed uniforms and the futuristic helmet from the game's cover art, and several clips from the game's cutscenes were shown. The most notable enhancements are the Mech units that replaced the typical tank for GDI and the subterranean vehicles used by NOD to strike terror anywhere on the map without warning. Tiberian Sun made a large shift in theme and setting from the first game - gone are the present day or near future technologies, instead replaced with cyborgs, orbital infantry drops, unmanned drones and a heavier focus on hovercraft and air units. Initially partial to NOD due to the aid the Brotherhood provided, The Forgotten have formed an uneasy alliance with GDI after seeing the effects of NOD's experiments on their loved ones. These "forgotten" people were forced to live with Tiberium and watch helplessly as the mysterious green crystals brought about a slow death. The Forgottenĭuring the GDI evacuation, some places of the world such as the inner city and many of the poorer regions of the world were ignored. The story is complicated by the apparent loss of Kane, NOD’s leader, at the end of the first Tiberian War which has thrown the Brotherhood into leaderless disarray, but do not count them out just yet as NOD has created through genetic mutation via Tiberium a set of ultra-powerful units that more than compensate for the clan’s lack of organization. As GDI strives to maintain world peace and discover the root cause of Tiberium, NOD is hell-bent on achieving world domination. The game’s story is driven by the difference in goals between GDI and NOD. To survive, GDI has moved to the arctic regions of the world while NOD has set up camp underground. The lethal Tiberium continues to infect the world at an ever-increasing rate which has made most of the Earth uninhabitable for human beings. While the game is set only twenty years after its predecessor, the world of Tiberian Sun is much different. Like most games in the series, Tiberian Sun is a real-time strategy game with a lengthy single-player campaign for both NOD and GDI, complete with full motion video cutscenes including actors such as Michael Biehn and James Earl Jones in major roles, as well as a plethora of on and offline multiplayer options. The game pits the good forces of the Global Defense Initiative (GDI) versus the fanatical Brotherhood of Nod (NOD) once again in an epic battle for world domination. Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun is the story sequel to the first C&C (although the fourth game in the series after the alternate history Red Alert and the multiplayer oriented Sole Survivor).
