Tiberian Era project is heavily influenced by Command & Conquer universe, especially the firts 3 games, Command & Conquer - Red Alert, Command & Conquer - Tiberian Dawn and Command & Conquer - Tiberian Sun, which we love so much and our work is our tribute to the huge and vivid universe C&C games have.
Test of our MVC in Arma 2.
.....why is there a M41A?
It is not exactly M41A, but a weapon inspired by it. Some Tiberian Sun footagoe shows weapon much like it and thats where the concept comes from!

This for example.
According to the C&C wiki, both GDI and Nod used M16 MKII Pulse Rifles in TibSun, which looked a lot like the M41A pulse rifle in cinematics. In Renegade, before TibSun, GDI and Nod used a weapon which, again was likely inspired by the M41A and was the Cobretti AR-70 Raptor automatic rifle - which I can only assume evolved into the M16 MKII. It seemed a mix between an M16A2 and an M41A.
