Tiberian Sun's game engine was completely built from the ground up by Westwood, utilizing an advanced Voxel Engine to make the game seem 3D with out the need for a 3D accelerator video card. Here are some the key features:

Living Battlefield - Weather, terrain, elevation, bridges, ice, wind wild mutant animals - now this is an interesting place to wage war. Tiberian Sun gives you an arena that can kill you or be used to kill.

Deformable Terrain - Explosions make holes Big explosions make big holes. When the ground is scarred you can't build on it. This will also slow units down to.

Blow Up The Bridges and Rebuild Them - This adds extra strategy to Tiberian Sun. Destroy key bridges, trap your opponent. Rebuild bridges with your Engineers.

Ion Storms - Tiberium has ruin Earths atmosphere causing violent Ion Storm in the sky. These storms prevent air units from flying and makes advanced weapons malfunction.

Tiberium Meteors - Tiberium Meteors fall from the havens to re-seed the soil with more Tiberium. This all good when your need more resources but its not a good thing if your units get caught underneath

Famous Faces - Tiberian Sun features some well known actors portraying important characters. James Earl Jones, better known as the voice of Darth Vader (Star Wars), Mufasa (The Lion King), and Bleeding Gums Murphy (The Simpsons), will be General Solomon for the Global Defense Initiative. Michael Biehn, of Terminator fame, will be the one playing McNeil. Also, the ever popular Kane will once again be played by Joe Kucan, the man who did it so well the first two times.
