Modding is enjoyable, but sometimes I search through the mixes. In Sounds.Mix, I listen to a certain infantry voice, and it brings back so many memories from when I started (Always losing, doing the original missions, and playing with the original units) The old cameos are missed too. However many of us (as well as me) may miss TD if we don't have it. (I have TFD) But you have to agree, you enjoy modding, yet you might miss some of original TS. Firestorm does not count as it is more enjoyable. Same as Covert Ops... I miss it all EDIT:I feel the same way about RA1

I still remember when i first got TS, the day it come out over here in the UK. I had just got a Win95 Olivetti from a boot sale, watching TS install, took about 45 min! When i first started up TS, wow... Rest is my gold

I originally played it when I was 5 years old (in 2000), but didn't really understand anything of it (I didn't understand English).
Then, in 2006, I found our old TS disc and decided to try it on our 10-year-old PC.. watching it install and playing it again was awesome, although the game crashed often on that PC (probably because of the low amount of RAM, 32 MB). I bought TFD the same year and played through the original campaigns in three days on a newer PC.
I haven't forgot "good old TS", as my personal mod contains only things base TS/FS have and I've only modified some units and made the AI much better. I always felt something was "wrong" in normal TS, it just felt rushed.. there were just so many features that weren't used (flying debris when you destroy a building, WW could've made the AI much harder in 5 mins by just modifying the taskforces a bit, etc.)

QUOTE (Altzan @ Mar 9 2010, 01:34 PM) Yeah, sometimes we get caught up in mods and changes that we forget how good the original was I've never liked vanilla TS to be honest, in fact, I hate it. I love modding it though.

I always found the storyline to be grandiose, and the installer aswell!

Yeah it brings back good times that never happened when I look in the Command & Conquer folder for TFD and see "C&C95.Exe" The memory is from seeing "RA95.Exe" QUOTE I love modding it though. I like Vanilla TS but yes I get interested learning new things about modding everyday.

The story and the tiberium-infested world (and the awesome installer, loved some of the news it showed) were the first things that got me really interested about TS. At first I found the gameplay a bit boring (building light & rocket infantries enough to rush through the Nod campaign missions), but the more I played it the more interesting and fun it got. The story is the best I've ever seen in a RTS, and the world is also the most detailed I've ever seen in any game. About RA1.. I ran the DOS version (RUNGAME.EXE) audio configuration tool once about 4 years ago and I still remember the sound card type selection screen from it.. the sound of the drill was cool

Hmm... When I first played TS it was illegal, on a 'twilight' disk. The videos were missing, that's the reason why I decided to buy the original (for €10, not that expensive) and played it again now WITH the videos. The install idd took a long time, like 30 minutes (slow sh*tty pc back then, now I got a 'nuclear reactor' as someone once referred to it). Now I got TFD, so my little brother could 'borrow' the TS disks... Well, he damaged the GDI disk... But now its freeware he can play it again

QUOTE (OmegaBolt @ Mar 29 2010, 04:10 AM) TS was never that good. The campaign was fairly boring and the FMVs were annoying in 3rd person. Graphically the temperate maps were just dull, undetailed... the mappers could have done a much better job. Firestorm of course brought it all back, that had a great set of missions... a very intense plotline. I always enjoyed the FMVs. I have to agree about some (most?) maps, but there are some graphically ok ones. However most maps have nice gameplay. IMO TD had the best gameplay (everything is well balanced and there are no useless units) but it doesn't have skirmish, AIs in multiplayer or other essential things, so after playing the campaigns and "New Missions" there wasn't really anything to play (although I know that TD was technically advanced when it was released).
