TS, like just about every CnC, is riddled with flaws, bugs and tons of
things that nobody likes. For instance, what was going through WW's mind
when they decided to make the vehicle graphics oh so small! The buildings
too are microscopic, and let's not even get into the 5-long build queue.
That's where TS:R comes in. It fixes, enhances and adds oh so much to
what is widely regarded as the best of the CnCs. No longer need I complain
of eyestrain when trying to manage my tank battalion, as all the vehicle
graphics have been enlarged, and also have been given a serious overhaul.
The new detail on some of the voxels is tremendous. SMIFF went to a lot
of trouble with them, and for this he must be commended. While some mods
have excellent voxels, they do not show love and attention lavished on
them as TS:R's do. Take a look at the nose of the Orca Fighter. Yes, that's
right, SMIFF's put tons of detail into them.
He's also altered the tech trees a little bit. The Upgrade Centre is gone
(a fact that I am not sure I am grateful for, but I must say the new radar
with upgrade pods looks the part), and the Nod pyramid added, which allows
for the meteor storm. Eckthellent...
Each building has its own specific sound effects when built or selected,
and most have been given a loving graphical overhaul. While the difference
may be subtle, it all improves the eye-candy of the game. Just look at
the new light-post...
There are over seven hundred new sounds in the game, many taken from Renegade
and Red Alert, as well as a million other things I could care to mention.
AI enhancements, GUI and HUD tweaks, and a nice long build queue! Cameo
changes complete with text also feature.
I could go on all day, but all I can really say is that this mod is incredible,
fixing a great number of WW bugs, flaws in the logic and turning what
is already a great game into a truly awesome one. What's more? It's dual
compatible with TS and Firestorm, and Firestorm is NOT required to play!
So, you have no excuse. 42meg? So what? I downloaded it...
