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

Sorry, i dont think you could ever make something better that Retro.

Retro, even though you say lacks, was more about someone actually getting up and doing it, other than saying "TS Beta was good, i hate EA" etc.

You gotta stop looking at Retro from a modders point of view, play it to enjoy it, and see TS in a different light. If you cant do that, remove it, you loose.

Creagor is right though, Tiberian Odyssey and Tiberian Sun : Recoil both take huge inspiration from Retro, it was the main reason we started Recoil way back, it was Retro but in the future

BTW, WTF is "Tiberian Sun: Genesis"?
