Welcome to Tiberian
sun 2K2
How to play
OK. We all know that multiplayer is the most
important part of this game and nobody wants t be humiliated in the battle
on the Internet. I won't claim that I'm the master of the game but I can say
that I'm pretty good. I win more than I lose. Here is my advice.
First I'll show you how to start building in Tiberian Sun in 10 pictures.
I find this building order quite effective:
| Pictures of Base: | What to do: |
![]() |
This is the beginning. You have 10 units and the Mobile Construction Vehicle (MCV). Find the nearest tiberum field and deploy the MCV by double clicking on the big vehicle. |
![]() |
MCV, when deployed becomes the construction yard which is used to build all the other buildings. First build one power plant. That should give you enough power for the beggining.You can build by clicking on the bar at the side, when the building is ready you click on it and move your cursor onto the battle ground and place the building where you want it. If you are building men they will come out of the hand of NOD, if you are building a vehicle it will come out of a war factory. |
| Then build two refineries. Sometimes when playing against NOD it's better to build barracks and then two refineries. If you do this you will find that the money will roll in after building silos and more harvesters!! : ). | |
![]() |
Then build your second power plant and barracks. Quickly start producing light infantry and disc throwers (GDI only) which you can use for scouting and basic base defence. |
![]() |
Then build war factory. I use the factory to build two harvesters first and then start producing units. Ussualy I start with a coupple of hover MLRS and a few titans. When playing against NOD it's advisable to build Mobile Sensor Array which will detect cloaked and underground units. |
![]() |
Then build radar which will give you access to mini tactical map in the upper right corner of your screen. By now you should have revealed large portion of the map. Use tactical map to scout unrevealed regions. |
![]() |
Build one more power plant and then build GDI tech centre. That will give you access to more advanced buildings. |
![]() |
Then build a few power turbines, you put these on top of power plants, to increase your energy supply and build GDI upgrade centre. All this time you should also build vehicles and infantry units to protect your base against attacks. |
![]() |
Build Ion Cannon uplink and place it on the upgrade centre. Then rest from building new buildings and concentrate on building units and placing them arround and in the base for best possible defence. Depending on your opponent tactics you can build pavement arround your important buildings to prevent sneak attacks by underground units. Also build component towers and place sam, RPG, and vulcan cannon upgrades on top. Sam upgrades are for air vehicles, RPG is very powerful against units and vulcan cannons are good against men. |
![]() |
Then depending on map type and your opponents tactics build suitable units. Then you can build helicopter pad which will enable you to build air units. I find carryall especially usefull for transporting APC's and mamoth tanks near or in your opponents base. The rest is now up to you...... if you really wanna win build a mammoth and trash they're base.hahahaha!!!! |
