I have to say, Retro is a very popular mod, but is it all that good? I recently downloaded it after seeing how popular it is (about bloody time!), and i was quite dissapointed for several reasons, but there are some good parts to it as well:
1. The Camoes are awesome, Smiff & the gang did a real good job on those
2. The redone voxels are really well done, they look very smooth, and have a similarity to the orinigals.
BUT:
1. Some the maps are a real let down. Like WTF is TSR Crevasse? There is no mapping skill in this map.
2. There is some not covered in TSR, like the old tech centre and the dropship bay.
3. and there is some stuff which doens't really have its place in TSR, like the light tank and medium tank etc.

So why am i saying all of this? Because i was really let down by retro, and i wnat to do what retro hasn't.

Its called Tiberian Sun: Genesis

Remember that TS:Retro was created a VERY long time ago - it was one of the first sucessful mods to be created, along with TSTW. Many, many advancements have been made scince retro was released, so it's natural that it has become dated in terms of what we know about maooding compared to then.

However, that does not make it a bad mod. Many current mods take inspiraition from TSR, and expand on concepts introduced in it. And the mod is still fun to play, which is the whole point really wink1.gif
