NAME	DESCRIPTION
More Than One Mutant Hijacker	If you capture a plane you can buy an other one. Now you'll get a lot of planes.
Stealth Generator Hint	When you are NOD and can build a stealth generator, not only is there no use for pavement but it hurts your as well. When you build pavement and a generator the genrator does not put the pavement into stealth. So if your playing against a friend (the computer is stupid so you can do it with them) dont use pavement or they will be able to see where your base is. But if your playing with redeployable mcv's then it wont matter because you can throw them of by moving it and putting pavement somewhere else and then moving your mcv back.
Easy Laser Kill	Are NOD lasers annoying you and destroying you GDI units? Here's an easy way to destroy them: Build a few disk throwers, and tell them to Force fire (hold CTRL) in front of the laser. The disks will bounce and should hit the laser. This isn't a quick way, though because they might not hit the laser accurately. But, it still beats losing heavy units!
How To Destroy A Building With One Shot	To destroy a building with one shot this is what you have to do. You have to be GDI to do this though. After you built your power plant, hand of nod, tiberium refineries, radar, war factory, tech centre, helipad, and service depot you will be able to build many units. But what you need to do is to build a Disruptor and a Carryall. After you have them built pick up the Disruptor with your carryall, send them over into your enemy's base. Send your carryall back to your base. Send your disruptor to the corner of a building. Go to the other corner of the building with your curser and hold control. This should make so you can make the disruptor shoot through the building and be shooting the ground at the other corner. Then sit back and watch the building be destroyed. Ahhh what a beautiful site.
Easy Building Capture And Profit	When playing as NOD, purchase some subterranean APCs and fill them with engineers and a Cyborg Commando. Take the APCs within their base and pop up next to something important (GDI Upgrade Center, Tiberium Refinery, etc.). Have your engineers pour out and have them take it over. The commando will protect the building that you capture. Should he fail, sell the building for an easy profit.
Adult Visceroids	When playing as NOD, launch a chemical weapon into the enemy base that has a lot of surrounding population. The people will die and turn into adult Visceroids, which will then destroy the base. They are even a threat if the enemy has an Obelisk Of Light.
Baby Visceriods	Order an infantry unit into tiberium until the soldiers die to create baby Visceroids. Note: The Visceroids are not friendly after becoming adults.
Kill A Cyborg Commando In With One Hit	Note: This trick requires the ability to build a GDI Firestorm Wall Generator and Firestorm Wall sections. Fortify your base and develop it 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 those sections, turn on the Firestorm Wall Generator to kill it easily.
Control NOD Ore Processor And Mining Vehicle	Note: Try this trick on the "Destroy Chemical Tanks" GDI mission. Position an engineer next to the NOD ore processor and wait for the mining vehicle to dock with the structure before capturing it. You will get control of the building and the vehicle.
Tiberium Vein Damage	Tiberium veins will damage most vehicles, except for the following: NOD Buggy, Wolverine and Hover MLRS. This makes them excellent units for scouting vein areas. Veins also have no effect on infantry and Harvesters.
Protection From NOD Ballistic Missiles	For GDI commanders, the Firestorm Wall can be used as protection against NOD ballistic missiles. The walls should be placed above the base and/or in the general direction of the enemy base. They can have spaces in between to save on power and money. The Firestorm building should be fully charged. Turn on the wall when you hear the "missile launch detected" warning. If you have nothing else to do, you can watch the missile dissipate in the Firestorm Wall. Note: This was done with a base at the bottom of the map. It may work differently if your base is elsewhere. Also, do not send your aircraft through the Firestorm Wall while it is activated because they will be automatically be destroyed.
Easy Way To Destroy Enemies	Build a Tiberium Waste Facility and a Missle Silo. Then when your Chemical Missile is ready, wait for your Tiberium Waste Facility to fill up again. When it does, fire your Multi-Missle at your opponent's Construction Yard, which should destroy it. Then, fire your Chemical Missile at the Weapons factory. It may not be destroyed, but you will have another Chemical Missile ready. Also fire that missile at the Weapons Factory, which should finish its destruction. The enemy cannot build any more, or build vehicles. The Chemical Missile should make all surrounding troops Viceroids. The Viceroids will destroy most of the surviving buildings.
Winning With An Air Assault	The easiest way towards victory using an air assault is to take out the SAM sites. However, when you bomb SAM sites they just re-appear. When playing as NOD, purchase some subterranean APCs and fill them with engineers. Send them to the opposing teams base maker, take over the base maker, and quickly sell it. If the other team is NOD, you will first have to disable their power plants.
Boom!	Fill a harvester with blue tiberium and send it into opponents base, when they destroy it, it will explode. Submitted by: Sovet97
Hijacking Vehicles	Take a Mutant Hijacker into a city, find a car, truck or a bus, and select it. Then you will have control over the vehicle. They can be used as transports.
Mutant Commando Regenaration	When you have a mutant commando attacking or defending always make sure he is near tiberium. When the commando stands on tiberium he slowly regains his health. While this may not seem like a lot it could mean the difference if you are attacking between killing 5 buildings or 7. In defending it really just saves you from having to build him over.
Free Minigunners	During game play: Sell a guard tower, but before the selling animation sequence is over, stop the sell. If you are quick enough the building is not sold but your minigunners that ran out will still be there.
Fast Building And Destroying	While playing the skirmish mode, press escape (esc). Next click on "game controls." Set the scroll rate on fastest, and the game speed on fastest too. This will make you game faster, and will also make building faster. (note: this will also make the other teams men and speed faster!)
How To Destroy A Refinery With One Hit	In order to do this you have to be GDI and have an Ion Cannon. Once you have the Ion Cannon ready you wait until one of their Harvesters is unloading in the Refinery. Then you fire the Ion Cannon and hit the Harvester were the Tiberium is held (the back of the Harvester). The Refinery will explode and the Harvester with it.
Good Base Protection	Alot of people start there base then build a army, but the trick is just build lots of obelisk then you will be unstopable.
Quick Base Veiw	When the veiw is not on your construction yard press H and the veiw change to your construction yard.
Bomb On Wheels	Fill up a harvester with blue tiberium. Then let your enemies destroy it for a big bang which at times may destroy a few buildings.
Unlimited Firestorm Wall	This trick allows a fully charged Firestorm Wall to last indefinitely without having to turn it off to recharge. First, fully charge your Firestorm Wall and turn it on. Then before it turns off or runs out of power, sell or turn off your power plants until the message "On Hold" appears in the Firestorm Icon. Your Firestorm Wall will now remain on indefinitely unless you build or turn on your power plants. Note: This trick works with the original, unpatched game. However, this trick does not work in the patched versions of the game.
