Artillery Tricks
If you are playing a Multiplayer Skirmish, build up about 10-20 artillery. Take them into the enemy base(s), deploy them, and reek havoc on the enemy base. If the enemy is Nod and they have a Stealth Generator, Bring in a Mobile Sensor Array along with the artillery.

Build anywhere
First set up the controls so that you can scroll up,down,left and right with the direction keys. Now build a structure and get in a position where its possible to build anywhere between an empty space in your base and the side bar. Now click to place the structure but hold the button and drag it behind the scroll bar. Now wile still holding left click use the direction buttons to move to wherever you want to build and let go.

Firestorm Lasts Forever (Unpatched game only)
As GDI build a Firestorm generator, and then place Firestorm Wall Pieces where wanted. When ready, activate the Firestorm Generator and sell your Power Plants until you are on low power. If the Firestorm Generator was still going when your power went low the Firestorm will keep on working until you build a power plant and have normal power again.

Free Building Repairs
This is useful if you are playing as GDI. If you have a Power Plant that is severly damaged and it has no Power Turbines on it, you can build one and place it on the Power Plant, and the Power Plant will be set at full health for free without having to repair it! This also works for placing a Vulcan Cannon/RPG/SAM on a Componet Tower for a free repair, and placing an Ion Cannon Uplink or Seeker Control on an Upgrade Center as well. Very useful to save money.

Beating the Stealth Generator
This works for GDI only. You must have access to an Orca Carryall and a Mobile Sensor Array. Take the Carryall, force it to load on the MSA and fly it into suspected Nod Base Territory which is cloaked. The MSA will uncover all the buildings on the minimap, and if it is attacked, the surrounding buildings near the attacker will also be revealed! Cool, huh?
This part works for Nod. Take the MSA and drive it straight into the enemy base which is cloaked. It has the same effect.

Edit Screen Resolution
Edit sun.ini in the game directory and you can push the screen resolution way up from the pathetic 640x480 standard

Look for...

[Video]
ScreenWidth=640
ScreenHeight=480
StretchMovies=no

And just change the values to something more suiting to your PC + Monitor (as Tib Sun looks stupid at 640x480 on bigger monitors)

On my machine I run the game at 1280x1024 with no problems, stops so much scrolling around and you can see all the build options too!

Suicide Take-Out!
Fill up your harvester with as much blue tiberian as it can hold. Then, with a group of Light Infantry, park your Harvester by any of the enemy's buildings. The building, your harvester, and surrounding units and buildings will explode, causing your enemy to be forced to rebuild again!


Disk Thrower Tricks
Send a group of D.T's and place them just out of the range of a laser/component tower and line them up with the defense structure. Force fire in front of the structure and the disks will bounce into the structure. Even though its not as accurate, the laser/tower won't shoot you. You can use this in many situations to increase the attack range of your Disk Throwers. Tell a Disc thrower to force fire someplace. Then when he is about to throw tell him to fire across the map and he Will. Those Arms must really be good.

Free GDI Repairs on Upgrade-able Buildings
When playing as GDI, you can build structures that can be upgraded, ie. power plants. If a structure that can be upgraded is damaged and you build the add-on for that structure, ie. power turbine, the structure will be fully repaired. The only money that you will lose is the money that you spent on the upgrade.

Infinite Firestorm Wall
If you have a firestorm wall and it is fully charged, you can make it last forever without having to turn it off to charge. First charge your wall fully, then turn it on. Before it turns off or runs out of power sell or turn off your power plants until the words "On Hold" appear in the firestorm Icon. Your wall will stay on forever and will not run out of power until you build or turn on your power plants. NOTE: This does not work if you install the latest patch ver. 1.11!

Kill a Cyborg Commando in One Hit
If you want to kill a Cyborg Commando, with out losing all of your units, there is a very simple way to do it.(You have to be able to build a GDI Firestorm Wall Generator, and Firestorm wall sections.) First fortify your base and build it up until you have the option to build a Firestorm wall, and sections, then build firestorm walls across any sections where an enemy can get into your base. When a Cyborg Commando is over one of the sections turn the Firestorm generator on and Blam! All of your problems are solved.

Missile defense tactics
When playing as GDI, build a Firestorm generator and Firestorm wall sections but do not turn them on yet. When your opponent launches a Multi-missile at your base, turn on the Firestorm defense. The Missle should disintegrate. However,a HUNTER SEEKER drone will overload the generator and the defense will have to recharge. This trick doesn't work with chemical missiles. You can stop the creation of those by killing that weird thing at the center of a vein field, though .This will cause the creation of veins to reverse.

One-Hit Kills
When playing as Nod, if you have the laser fence sections you can kill any unit one hit. Set up two laser sections as you would normaly. Turn one of them off with the lightning icon thing. When a unit passes between the fences turn it back on. Any unit, even the Mammoth mk2 is destroyed. This is very effective in multiplayer if there are alot of bridges.

Special GDI ending
Leave the NOD's "Temple of NOD" until the very end and make sure your ion cannon destroys it. You will get the special ending.
