Dawn of the Tiberium Age (DTA) is a stand-alone mod that combines Tiberian Dawn (C&C 95) and Red Alert. While classic mode gets as close to the original game-play and balance as possible, Enhanced mode provides improved game balance and a lot of fun new stuff. DTA features many customization options for Skirmish and multiplayer (where you can play as GDI, Nod, Allies and Soviet on over 200 maps), challenging original singleplayer missions, as well as co-op missions. Since this is a stand-alone mod, you don't require anything but the mod itself to be able to play: the original game is not required.
A new Co-Op mission by Sombracier, to be included with tomorrow's release of DTA 1.15.
A classic, to bad it is too brutal to make missions such as this in modern wargames.
this is the soviets we are talkin bout here
this is some light stuff compared to the rest of their actions
Yes, but this mission, like Nod1, set the stage and feel of the whole faction in the game. I love old C&Cs; and Warcrafts because they were so brutal and the devs were not afraid of having a player actually think about the horrors of war or playing an actual evil army.
I enjoy the brutality too. If a modern AAA game had the player doing something plain evil like the actions in this mission or TD Nod 1, it would likely cause some kind of a controversy. Especially if the player was controlling a historic real-life faction like the Soviet Union. In a Warcraft-like fantasy setting it might still be tolerated.
If I ever make a commercial RTS game of my own, I'll be sure to include missions like these =P
Truly the gaming world has softened
I like the old days
Enjoy your Australian and German sales, Rampa. :P
For Germany we could do the same thing that Westwood did with Tiberian Sun: "They're not humans, they're cyborgs!" and replacing the human-sounding voices with machine voices and replacing all blood with oil.
Scary but necessary :|
