  1. I think it was more Westwood's mistake not setting Tiberian Sun too far in the future. Tiberian Dawn was set in 1995, while Tiberian Sun was set in 2030. This didn't really leave much time to tell too big of a story in-between without contradicting Tiberian Sun's canon. Tbh, I think if Tiberian Sun had been set closer to 2100, it would have allowed for a lot more storytelling in the near-future type setting of Tiberian Dawn or Renegade.

    Since Renegade took place after Dawn, and RenX Black Dawn took place after Renegade from what the little single level suggested, It makes sense that TD tech is plausibly in the "prototype R&D" phase in RenX's point in time.

    Then again, the crates suggest possibly, that they are a result of a literal time travel event of large scale, maybe C&C 3+ era time-travel or natural time warp phenomenon, but they weren't able to send advanced computers or people or the "wormhole only got vehicles", so instead of sending detailed intel or soldiers, futuristic machineries of war was what ended up going.

    Still, either way seems plausible to me.

    Actually, Renegade took place during Dawn just as the war was ending.

    I think the tech being prototypes is an interesting idea, though what's weird is that from what I understand, prototype Wolverines were different around the TD era. In an old teaser for TS, you see a power suit very similar to the Wolverine, though it's armed with a laser.

    Time warp shenanigans is still fun though.

  2. The C&C soundtrack was the hypest shit. It took 1990s geopolitical warfare to Funkytown with a lot of kick ass on the way.

    When I first started Renegade X, I was pretty disappointed that the music didn't have the same feel. It feels like it's too modern or trying hard to sound like the gritty FPSs we have now. I hope the finished game improves on this, but if not, I don't mind just running VLC in the background.

  3. While it is frustrating being on the losing team despite having the most buildings intact, you've got to give credit to the other for being able to hold out for so long while being bombarded to hell. They've got little to no chance to make a comeback after losing much, and if it takes so long for the opposition to take out a single building, well then they probably weren't worthy of victory. But that's just my opinion.
