Tiberian Sun Rising is a total conversion modification for Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, which see's the return of the Global Defense Initiative and the Brotherhood of Nod battling it out during the the Second Tiberum War! retelling Tiberian Sun like never before.
A Whole New Tiberian Sun!
Not just a remake, but Tiberian Sun Rising is the next evolution of Tiberian Sun! It's time you saw the future, while you still have human eyes! Having been redesigned from the ground up to include all the things you love from Tiberian Sun, with new features, abilities, units and gameplay better than ever. We take the mindset that this is the first time Tiberian Sun is being made as an original game as a design concept/mindset for our development.
This mod will include the additions made in the expansion Firestorm as well they will make a return with a new spin. This mod promise's to do a lot and we'll be bringing back the thing's you love from Tiberian Sun-like. Stealth technology, Real Tiberium, Subtterain Units the Firestorm Defense system and more!
Battle the Elements!
One of the most exciting feature's we'll be including is a dynamic growing Tiberium environment which mutates the battlefield as it spreads! You could start on a map with not much tiberium at all, and finish the battle with Vein Holes, Ion Storms and more all occurring! So watch out!

Welcome Back, Commander!
EVA -- Establishing Connection to Philadelphia...... CONNECTED
The rampant pace of Tiberium continues to be a concern amongst the scientific community. New Tiberium mutated plants and lifeforms are emerging it's difficult to keep up with what Tiberium is doing to the planet now. Renowned Tiberium expert famously said years ago "The possibilities of Tiberium are limitless" and it certainly does seem to be the case as we see here.
General Nick Parker was the biggest supporter of the Havoc Armor project so much so he put his stamp of approval on it dubbing it "Havoc". For those unfamiliar with the General, Havoc his codename from his fieldwork back in the First Tiberium War as a frontline commando. It augments the wearer's strength and speed but most importantly offers protection from Tiberium to the wearer. This is the most cutting edge technology that GDI has used to develop this suit lightyears ahead of mechs like the Wolverine and Titan. It might take 20 years but eventually, we'll be able to mass-produce suits based on this technology for troops going into Tiberium danger zones. But for now, they are so expensive to produce and customised for the particular needs of the GDI Commando. Commando's take many years of rigorous training to produce viable troops for the kind of highly specialised missions Commando's go on. GDI can't afford to lose such troops to the effects of Tiberium or Tiberium creatures. General Parker did note his gratitude to the Forgotten providing the services of the man known only as "Ghost Stalker" to perform dangerous missions for the GDI particularly in Tiberium danger zones where shiners are immune. But Ghost is only one man, the Havoc Armor was created so I can send out my Commando's into the field anywhere in the world without it being a suicide mission.
Primary Form
The Commando and the Havoc Armor combine to form one unit in its primary form. It augments the Commando's speed and strength while also benefiting from the mobility of the occupant. The massive rifle the Powersuit carries is a state of the art Railgun that can punch high-velocity slugs that damage most targets. Not quite as mobile as Ghost Stalkers variant of railgun only the Havoc Armor can carry the Railgun. It has a jump-jet pack which allows the Havoc Armor to perform short hops it's too heavy to stay in constant flight like GDIJumpjet Troopers can. But its jump jets have enough juice to jump over rivers, most destroyed bridges or other obstacles that impede the Commando's mission. On its shoulders, it has small rocket pods which can do a small amount of damage to air or ground targets.
Note: The Commando cannot place C4 charges while inside the suit.
Sentry Form
The GDI Commando inside the suit can exit the suit putting it into sentry mode but only while it's immobile and without a pilot does it stay in this mode. It can aim and fire the Railgun but firing rate drops due to the longer time it takes EVA to connect with the suit's sensors to aim and fire without a pilot particularly as without the occupants' muscles it is more difficult to move the railgun. It can provide covering fire for the Commando while he is on foot outside the suit.
Mobility Form
While the GDI Commando is outside the suit, the suit connects directly to EVA so it does the aiming for the railgun when in Sentry form. But if the Commander orders the Suit to move without a pilot it leaves Sentry form and goes into "Mobility" Form. In this form, it engages its jump jets constantly to hover above the ground as it is lighter without the pilot but loses the ability to do short hops from its jump jets. But it does mean it can hover over water to get to a stranded Commando to pick him up. The suits only weapons while hovering around is the rocket pods the only weapon that EVA can accurately aim and fire while the suit is moving around. Giving it limited defence against ground and air targets.
Commando - While Outside the Havoc Armor
The Commando is equipped with C4 explosive charges he can plant on buildings and carries around a rifle with his precise aim the Commando can take down most infantry with one shot. Due to the lethality of his aim. Cyborgs it depends on the model of the target.. the standard cyborgs he can aim for vital organic weak points such as the head. However other Cyborgs like the Cyborg Commando and if rumours of the "Reaper" class of Cyborg have any truth to them have armoured bodies which cannot be one-shot killed by the Commando. The Commando is completely vulnerable to the effects of Tiberium while outside the suit and cant jump jet anywhere on his own without the suit.
Tag Team
The Havoc Armor enables Commanders to get the best out of the Commando and the Suit they are a team. The suit can either watch the Commando's back or even be used on its own for separate tasks. But the Havoc Armor is the Commando's lifeline and its there to have his back or if necessary sacrifice itself to keep the Commando alive. But you can jump jet into a new area drop the Commando off to place C4 charges, while the suit hovers across the river to engage targets and create a distraction fo the Commando to do his work and then hover back over to pick him up and return to its Primary form where it can then jump jet away to safety.
Havoc Drop Pod Armor Replacement
In the extreme circumstance where the Commando's suit has been destroyed but the Commando is still alive in the field on his own. For a $ cost Commanders can order in a replacement Havoc Suit via a Heavy Drop Pod which has an RPG turret to provide covering fire where it lands. We recommend dropping it nearby the Commando so he can return to full strength.
It'll take practice and training for Commanders to fully master this new type of Commando but it offers more strategic and tactical options than ever before to the GDI.
Satellite imagery of a smaller Nod base looks like an auxiliary base no Stealth Generator deployed but they have set up a security grid of Nod Laser walls, Concrete Walls and their own Automatic Gates which only respond to the owning Nod Commanders forces. Here we can see Nod base defending against an attack while their harvesters automatically go through the gates to enter/exit the base. Passing through the laser beams safely due to Nods IFF tagging system. If an enemy stealth unit or enemy unit tries to pierce those beams they'll take damage revealing their presence if they had any stealth engaged.

great update!!
Hey assassin! I love the previews that you posted.. the atmosphere looks amazing even! Cant wait for this mod to be released! I wonder.. will there be scrin?
No Scrin I'm afraid they haven't arrived yet in Tiberian Sun... However, you may see a familiar Scrin Fighter ;) from a certain mission on a map.
I and the team have been working intensely developing Tiberian Sun Rising had such great momentum didn't want to hurt productivity. But now MOTY time is upon us so the updates must come forward!!
Again I do apologise for our radio silence, we love keeping you updated but it also does take time away from development so we have been putting precious time and energy towards getting things done.
Its time to get you all up to date on what we've been doing! Can't wait to reveal some of the super cool stuff we have been working very hard on.
It's all good my dude. Take your time with the mod.
When do you update the site for more information?
Whatever the super cool stuff is, I'm confident that it's going to be... super cool. :-)
I've been thinking.
As you're planning to re-create the original campaigns IIRC, you'd probably also need the original cutscenes.
But how about going a step further?
Nyerguds has been experimenting with upscaling and interpolating one of the Tiberian Dawn cutscenes to 720p 60 FPS using the ERSGAN AI and Hybrid. The results look quite solid.
Youtube.com
I think Tiberian Sun's cutscene would look awesome in 720p (or 480p in proper DVD quality) and 30 FPS.
(60 FPS would be too much I think.)
What do you think about using ERSGAN and Hybrid to upscale and interpolate Tiberian Sun's cutscenes for TSR?
This is just the upscale without interpolation_
