Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Tiberian Sun is the second installment in the Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series. Set in 2030, tiberium is now spreading unchecked, forcing humanity to flee to the arctic or desert regions that can at least slow the substance's progress. As governments break down and GDI does its best to bring order from the chaos, Kane reappears to lead a reunified and invigorated Nod into battle once more. A crashed alien spaceship and an extraterrestrial artifact called the Tacitus hint at a larger purpose behind Tiberium, but ultimately Kane's attempt to use a missile to increase Tiberium's spread is thwarted with the man's death (again).Released in 1999, the game notably raised the cutscenes profile of the saga, featuring for the first time renowned mainstream actors such as James Earl Jones and Michael Biehn. The Scrin technology makes its first appearance in this game, as well.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })An expansion pack was also released, called Tiberian Sun: Firestorm, in which Nod's battle AI, CABAL, revolts and leads a cyborg uprising, forcing GDI and the remnants of Nod to unite to defeat him.Tiberian Sun and its expansion were released as freeware by EA in 2010. Official Download.Please note that this page is for tropes that feature in this game and its expansion only. Please add tropes relating to other games as well on the main Tiberian Series page. | |

Twist Ending: In Firestorm. At the very end of the Nod campaign, it turns out that the missing Kane is still alive, possibly part of CABAL's neural network. This is never fully explained, as EA seems to have abandoned this plot thread in its sequels. | |

Units Not to Scale | |

Units Not to Scale: A weird example with GDI's Kodiak, which appears in-game in one mission in the vanilla game (where it's temporarily grounded by an ion storm) and one in the Firestorm expansion (when it crashes). In the first example it's the size of an average in-game building, in the second it's grown to about ten times that size. | |

Mysterious Veil: Umagon initially uses a veil to disguise her nature as a mutant, but in truth it's not all that effective. When meeting Mike McNeil, she takes it off in her first scene after determining that she needs GDI's help, while after killing a Nod soldier on live camera, they don't need to expend much effort to digitally remove it and expose her identity. | |

You Have Failed Me: In Tiberian Sun's GDI campaign, Nod General Vega has just lost to McNeil and is beseeching Kane for reinforcements. Kane's response is to nuke Vega's entire island base. In the Nod campaign, Anton Slavik implies something similar when General Vega steals Kane's UFO and crashes it, stating that Vega better hope he'll die in the crash, because Kane's wrath is certain. | |

Doom Troops: The malevolent A.I. CABAL's cyborg faction in the expansion pack Firestorm seems to invoke this. Much of its armies consist of shambling, rotting corpses with cybernetic upgrades, and its "Reaper" units are robotic scorpion-man hybrids with skulls for heads. They're mainly used to destroy civilian settlements and to capture people so they can be processed to create more soldiers. | |

Overly Generous Time Limit | |
| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun (Video Game) / int_4dac11b8 | comment |
Overly Generous Time Limit: In the final Nod mission, you are given a little more than three hours to position three ICBM launchers on the map in order to destroy GDI's orbital command station before it can locate and destroy the World Altering Missile. Taking your time to build a force large enough to completely wipe out the highly defended GDI base — which isn't a mission requirement — and placing the ICBM launchers at your leisure afterwards takes an hour at most. | |

Non-Entity General | |
| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun (Video Game) / int_535ec99d | comment |
Non-Entity General: The original Tiberian Sun is probably the sole example in the main series to avoid the abstract player character approach: the cutscenes clearly let you know that if you play as GDI, your name is Michael McNeil, and when you play for the Brotherhood, you technically control Anton Slavik. It also at least implicitly undoes this for Tiberian Dawn, as General James Solomon is supposed to be the commander you played in that game. And that's only the original Tiberian Sun, since Firestorm gets back to its roots, complete with Slavik addressing you in the Nod campaign. | |

Lensman Arms Race: Capturing or otherwise denying the enemy their advanced weaponry happens in both campaigns, along with the obligatory field-testing. In the GDI campaign, Nod attacks Hammerfest in an attempt to secure their Disruptor sonic crystals, and Mack has to shut down Nod's Tiberium-based missiles and main Banshee launch base. In the Nod campaign, Slavik has to destroy the Mammoth Mk.II prototype. He also gets to test out Tiberium-based weaponry which Kane has developed. | |

Fantastic Racism: There is quite a lot of hostility between the mutant and human factions, who deride each other as "blunts" and "shiners" respectively. Nod in particular regards the mutants as abominations and sees no problem with slaughtering them for their own ends (despite such mutation being the very real consequence of the spread of Nod Tiberium worshipping). | |

Sensor Suspense | |
| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun (Video Game) / int_713e479 | comment |
Sensor Suspense: Tiberian Sun had the Mobile Sensor Array which, when deployed, could track enemies hidden by Fog of War, as well as Stealth and Subterranean units. The suspense part can even come into play with subterranean units, in that you can't tell whether what is about to pop up is a flamethrower tank or an APC loaded up with Cyborgs intent on murder. | |

Les Collaborateurs | |
| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun (Video Game) / int_768ae1c9 | comment |
Les Collaborateurs: Jake McNeil joins the enemy side in the Nod campaign out of envy at his brother Michael and some suggestions from Oxanna. In the canon GDI campaign, he was also stated to be at Hammerfest when it fell to Nod, so it's entirely possible that he was also a mole there, and received the additional You Have Outlived Your Usefulness treatment from Nod. | |

Getting High on Their Own Supply | |
| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun (Video Game) / int_7d22b5bb | comment |
Getting High on Their Own Supply: General Vega is a South American Nod warlord and druglord who deals in a Fantastic Drug known as "Eye Candy", of which he is clearly his own best customer. In the Nod campaign, he hijacks an alien ship while high and crashes it. Another Nod general comments that even if he survives the crash, they'll kill him anyway for his monumental fuck-up. In the GDI campaign, Vega chooses to kill himself with an overdose because GDI forces are storming his base and an angry Kane has both excommunicated him from the Brotherhood and ordered a nuclear missile strike on Vega's base to show his displeasure. | |

Perspective Flip | |
| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun (Video Game) / int_8a9eb844 | comment |
Perspective Flip: The Nod version of events which also happened in the GDI campaign - how the alien craft crashed in Vega's territory and Hammerfest Base fell - could be this. The GDI campaign is silent on those two points, with McNeil stumbling on the former's crash site and learning about the latter's fall after the fact, but the Nod campaign implies that Vega was high on drugs and "borrowed" the craft from Kane before crashing it, and Hammerfest was undermined from within by Jake McNeil. | |

No Canon for the Wicked | |
| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun (Video Game) / int_a2326b6a | comment |
No Canon for the Wicked: Played straight in Sun, albeit with the caveat that both campaigns hit many of the same plot beats, with the difference lying in how they play out. Firestorm was the first of the series to try to move away from this, as the two campaigns are a Perspective Flip to each other, both sides having to sort of work together to take down a common enemy in CABAL. Slavik's appearance in Firestorm also presents an interesting use of this, as the first few missions of the Nod campaign, wherein Slavik is rescued from an execution attempt and ultimately deposes Hassan before Kane announces his return, might have to be canon regardless - it all depends on whether the complete lack of mention of Hassan in the GDI campaign means that he doesn't even exist and that specific power struggle in Kane's absence doesn't happen in the "true" canon, or that the GDI storyline is simply skipping over dirty business. | |

In Spite of a Nail: No matter which campaign is played, there will be an alien craft in Vega's territory, the GDI base in Hammerfest will fall, and Kane will create a mega Tiberium missile. The difference is that in the Nod campaign, Slavik manages to retrieve the ship's contents, Hammerfest remains in Nod hands (and is used as the staging ground for their missiles to destroy the Philadelphia), and the mega missile is fired off. But in the GDI campaign, McNeil recovers the ship's contents, Hammerfest is eventually recovered (albeit Nod making off with the Disruptor sonic crystals before they're forced out), and the missile becomes scrap metal. Oh, and Umagon gets captured in both campaigns, although both the causes and aftermath of the captures are different. Also, Slavik would be rescued from death at Hassan's hands, as he appears in Firestorm. | |

Break Out the Museum Piece | |
| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun (Video Game) / int_d40e1a9f | comment |
Break Out the Museum Piece: In the last GDI mission you get the chance to use classic Mammoth Tanks from Tiberian Dawn, which still prove useful. The Forgotten also uses them. The Juggernaut artillery unit in Firestorm is the result of taking a triple-barreled cannon from an old battleship — useless now that the seas are choked with Tiberium-mutated weeds — and mounting them on mech legs. | |

Treachery Is a Special Kind of Evil | |
| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun (Video Game) / int_d5d34629 | comment |
Treachery Is a Special Kind of Evil: After Anton Slavik is rescued by the other members of the Black Hand from his would-be execution by General Hassan (who is secretly on GDI's payroll), he returns to the bridge of his command ship and confronts the guy who sold him out. The traitor can barely get out a single line because Slavik shoots him on the spot. He's proud to engage in war crimes for the cause, but Slavik despises disloyalty with a fiery passion. He later publicly executes Hassan himself. | |

The End of the World as We Know It | |
| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun (Video Game) / int_d71d51fd | comment |
The End of the World as We Know It: The Nod campaign ends as Kane launches a world-altering missile to completely turn the world into a Tiberian landscape. He likely killed off all non-mutated terrestrial life by doing so. | |

Leave No Survivors: During the first Nod briefing, commander Anton Slavik asks CABAL what the conditions for a favorable outcome against the renegade General Hassan's forces in the present engagement would be. CABAL's response: "They all die!" | |

Public Execution | |
| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun (Video Game) / int_dc0ca62a | comment |
Public Execution: Nod forces are fond of doing this to suspected traitors. In the Nod opening cinematic, commander Anton Slavik was himself about to be publicly killed by injection before a faction of the Black Hand rescues him. The television program (called "Today's Execution" along with its own hosts) implies that this is a regular occurrence as part of the Brotherhood's "bread and circus" tactics. Anton later slits the throat of the rogue General Hassan after his capture in front of a spectating crowd. | |

| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun (Video Game) / int_df3b0af7 | comment |
Short-Range Long-Range Weapon: Averted; the ranges of the Nod Artillery unit and its GDI counterpart in Firestorm, the Juggernaut, are very long by C&C standards, and many battles end up resembling World War I-style artillery duels. | |

New Era Speech | |
| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun (Video Game) / int_e66e9bfb | comment |
New Era Speech: Kane gives one of these in the Nod ending. Turns out his idea of a new era means turning the entire planet into a Tiberianized death world. Anton Slavik also gives one at the end of the Nod campaign in Tiberian Sun: Firestorm after assuming command of Nod, in which he outright states that "a new era has begun". | |

Trick Bullet | |
| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun (Video Game) / int_f4bdd330 | comment |
Trick Bullet: One GDI mission in Firestorm has you put down some rioting civilians using riot troops armed with rubber bullets to subdue their leaders. This invokes Damn You, Muscle Memory!, because group-firing rubber bullets on the leaders as you're used to doing (rather than just using one trooper) will kill them and fail the mission. | |

Everything Trying to Kill You | |
| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun (Video Game) / int_ffd816e7 | comment |
Everything Trying to Kill You: Tiberian Sun is infamous for this, with Visceroids, Tiberian Fiends, Tiberium Floaters, Veinhole Monsters destroying vehicles and buildings and the gas they produce killing infantry, Tiberium poisonous to infantry, ion storms causing lightning strikes and your planes to fall out of the sky and crash, etc. etc. On the one hand, this does realistically evoke the feel of a Crapsack World going to hell and anarchy because of the effects of Tiberium; on the other hand it is actually possible to win one-on-one skirmish battles without ever even seeing the enemy, because the enemy was just overwhelmed by all the third-party nasties on the map. | |
