I personally am a big fan of Tiberian Dawn. It was the first C&C game I ever played and it got me hooked on the series. I still sometimes find myself playing the game, but its missing the skirmish mode and its getting harder to find opponents to play with over IP.

Return of the Dawn was the perfect solution to this problem. This mod brings all of Tiberian Dawn and slaps it into Tiberian Sun. Old TD units, vehicles, and structures all return. All the infantry art are exactly as they were in Tiberian Dawn, but the vehicles and structures have been remade. Although slightly different, they are very similar to the originals, and you won't have a problem reconizing the classics.

The games plays alot like Tiberian Dawn, Nod artillary still demolish infantry from afar, but get slaughtered by vehicles up close. Riflemen gun down rocket soldiers with ease, and a group of rocket soldiers can make a scrapyard out of a tanks in no time. The original sounds and music tracks of Tiberian Dawn have been converted and you will hear them all in Return of the Dawn. Much of the terrain has also been transpherred giving you a true feel of Tiberian Dawn.

One of the coolest things about the mod is the way it runs. It uses custom mix files instead of standard expandxx.mix, and its own dawn.exe, so you can play it without messing with your Tiberian Sun Installation or any mods you have installed. Thanks to yours truly, there is also a no-cd patch for Return of the Dawn, so you can play the mod without your Tiberian Sun CD, and it doesn't affect your Tiberian Sun installation at all.

The AI is much better than standard Tiberian Sun AI. The first skirmish I played I underestimated a medium comp and found myself staring at the post game score screen in less than 10 minutes. The AI will attack you from all directions and shows no mercy, good luck.

So in conclusion Return of the Dawn accuratly recreates Tiberian Dawn in the Tiberian Sun engine. I havn't ran into any internal Errors or bugs. The new menu and GUI really has you beleiving you are playing Tiberian Dawn. The whole mod is a brilliant peice of work and if your a fan of Tiberian Dawn or just a fan of Tiberian Sun mods then you MUST download this mod.
