Hints
Drop Pods
When fighting the GDI you may hear machine guns firing.
This is normal because those sounds were just Drop Pods. The Drop
Pods have people in them that have gold stars (which indicates
that they are very good).
Cyborg Reaper
Build a Cyborg Reaper and send it to the enemy's base.
Walk on Tiberium and stay there. The enemy will shoot at it, but
the Tiberium will heal it quickly.
Unlimited Firestorm
Precise timing is required for this trick. Build a
Firestorm generator. When it is ready, click to activate it, and
blow it up as soon as it becomes activated. This works best if
you have a Ghost Stalker. Have the Ghost Stalker place C4 on the
generator, then when it flashes, quickly turn it on and it will
automatically explode. The game will be fooled into thinking that
you still have the generator. You can turn it off by building
another generator and re-clicking on the Firestorm button.
Firestorm defense
Play as the GDI. If your enemy likes air units or missiles,
surround your base with the Firestorm Wall at a distance from
your base, backed up with RPG Launchers. Whenever aircraft or
missiles are detected coming toward you, turn the Firestorm on.
When aircraft attack, wait until just before they cross the Firestorm
line so that they cannot turn away before they are hit. Do not
worry if the Firestorm is attacked by the enemy aircraft -- it
is pretty tough. Just bring some MRLS in to assist destroying
the aircraft.
Build anywhere
During game play, enter the options menu and select
"Interface". Set North to "8", East to "6",
West to "4", and South to "4" on the keypad.
Resume the game and construct something. Take the building, and
when you get an all white outline, click and hold down the mouse
as if you want to place it down, but do not release the mouse
button. Move the cursor over the build panel (far right) and using
the number keys 2, 4, 6, 8, move to
where you want to place your building. Then, release the mouse
button and deploy your building under the menu panel. This may
take a few tries but is does work.
Laser Fence Snap
This is actually the NOD version of the Firestorm Defense.
When an enemy approaches the fence, turn off a section of fencing
for him to pass over. As soon as the opponent's unit is on the
fence, re-activate it and you will have a one-hit kill. This works
the best when your fence is stealthed and you are playing against
a human opponent through a modem or network.
NOD mission 1
This mission is self-explanatory. To complete it easier,
leave the Scout alone. When the time comes, just move the Scout
onto the APC to win.
NOD mission 9 (Core Of The Problem): Defeating Cabal
When you have destroyed Cabal's missile silos and "borrowed"
his Hunter Seeker Droid (cloaked at the top of the map), kill
the Cyborgs around his Firestorm Defense protected core. Build
six or more Banshees, five or more Artillery and about eight Tick
Tanks. Have the Artillery attack Cabal's core. They will deploy
and start shooting at Cabal. The Firestorm Defense will stop their
bullets (which is expected for this trick). Next, deploy the Tick
Tanks in front of your Artillery carefully, as they may get shot
by his Obelisks. Capture all three Cabal Control Stations. This
will cause Cabal the mutter something, then the Core Defender
will start shooting the Tick Tanks. Quickly have your Banshees
attack the Core. You should now have Artillery shooting the Core
as well as the Banshees while the robot is distracted, blasting
your Tick Tanks. This just gives you enough time to blow the core
into oblivion. Although the "Mission Accomplished" will
appear, the robot will still be running wild.

Completing the last mission
Do what you would normally do, except wait until the
Defender is far away. Shoot a missile or Ion Cannon directly at
it, while sending Banshees or Orca Bombers to attack it.
When playing as the NOD, get a Mobile Stealth Generator (MSG)
and deploy it right behind Cable and put some units around it.
Then, destroy the power so that the defender is activated. Next,
wait until it is afar. Then with all of your cloaked units, attack
Cable. The defender will never get back to you in time, allowing
you to successfully complete the level.
Visceroid baby to adult
The only way a baby Visceroid can turn into an adult
is when two babies merge together.
Glitches
Easy money
Build an EMP cannon and order some Rocket Infantry
to attack the ground on it. Sell it while it is being repaired
and shot, and you will get your money, an infantry, and your power
-- plus you keep the cannon and it repairs for free. You can repeat
this as many times as needed because the cannon will rebuild itself
to be sold after its next use.
