    Loading screens are .tga files so I think they can be done with GIMP. The unit models are made with 3dmax, the unit textures I am not sure but I think Photoshop or GIMP with a .dds plug in.

    Yes, it was Nod's AI and battle advisor before going rogue. Tiberian Sun and its expansion Firestorm are my favourite RTS game ever.

    If you like you can download it free with its expansion Firestorm from here: http://www.commandandconquer.com/classic I prefer GDI but Kane is the most charismatic character I've ever seen in a game. Too bad the CnC franchise has been ripped and ruined with the last game, which is the worst game I've ever played in my life.

    Tiberian Twilight is just awful, but because it's really lame. If it had been well made I could have enjoyed it even if it isn't a real C&C, but other than not being C&C it's also horrible, obscene...I can't find an appropriate word to describe it. I tried to play to see how the story ended, but really couldn't do it, I watched the cutscenes on Youtube. And I must say that I was lucky! The ending is lame too, so luckily I didn't waste my time playing a horrible game for a lame ending.

    Anyway yes TS\FS is free because you can't find it in the stores anymore, you can buy The First Decade or Saga (both are collections of C&C games). But it has a lot more sense downloading them, since they are free. It's quite surprising considering the EA policy, which is MONEY MONEY MONEY AND THE REST.

    yes i agree to about how they messed up C&C4 i haven't seen the ending of it but im not going to buy it anyways when i saw they were making it into small battles and such i knew it would be a total fail but i just downloaded tiberium sun and it's good it's kepping me busy since i don't have RTW anymore but im going to ckeck the shops tommorow and see if it is there.

    P.S i got your friends request

    I was lucky that a friend of mine bought it, got sick with it and lent it to me. I would be even more angry if I had spent even 1$ for that crap.

    Tiberian Sun\Firestorm is absolutely better!
