GDI's Juggernaut is their answer to Nod's artillery. Two re-hashed units complete the line-up. They make a good suicide squad for taking out enemy power plants, but seem to be no more use than the existing ion cannon.

These contain five elite infantry squads which can be deposited anywhere on the map. GDI drop pods come as an addition to the Upgrade Centre. They are vulnerable, though, but useful if combined with Nod's new mobile stealth generator. This can be useful for infiltrating cloaked bases, but seems really to have been included to fulfil mission objectives in the single player gameīoth sides have gained mobile war factories, and although they are slow-moving and must be deployed before building, they provide a way to reinforce armies at a battlefield level. Players can then see the 'view' from that vehicle, as if they owned it.

Limpet drones bury themselves beneath the ground, and clamp on to passing enemy vehicles. And to top it all off, they heal fast in tiberium deposits. Spider-like, their web launchers temporarily disable infantry, while dual cluster missile cannons are equally effective against buildings and vehicles. Their variety of weapons works on just about anything, making them a formidable enemy.

New units are mainly based around existing structures or vehicles, and really the only novel addition is Nod's Reaper - a cyborg torso with an all-terrain walker base. C&C games have always played well alone, and the campaigns continue to find novel ways to challenge. The new single player campaigns follow the fortunes of both GDI and Nod, and are difficult enough to provide a serious challenge to veteran C&C fans - while the FMV clips linking missions live up to Tiberian Sun's high standards. UN-like, the GDI is developing new weapons in an effort to finish off the Brotherhood, which, deprived of its figurehead, is descending into infighting and anarchy. Kane - the charismatic but crazy leader of the Brotherhood of Nod - is missing, presumed dead. Following the predictable success of C&C: Tiberian Sun, Westwood has played its usual trick - box up some new units and single-player levels with a sprinkling of new features, and watch the pounds flood in.įirestorm picks up the plot where Tiberian Sun ended.
