Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun - Ion Storm (music)

[MrRubarce]

Ion Storm Approaching!

crap quick land all my Banshees before they crash.

[Kittstar]

EA raped this series because they didn't have the balls to compete with starcraft 2 for RTS king. Makes me so sad, sun and firestorm was my first online game ever.

[Felsmukk]

Add this to Amnesia:The Dark Descent and Ill never switch off any lights.

[jeremu5]

@Felsmukk if i had the game, i would try that :D

[norchaaa]

@Shizuma91 meh too

[Itachi21x]

this song made me love thunderstorms

[blankprobe]

@Itachi21x I´ve got to try that.. ill play this at the next storm

[KhorneBerzerker0]

beautiful song

[Dale33333]

a perfect sound, like one who knows a ion storm, even he had not seen it.... that is what a master takes out!!!

[roofanhealer]

One of the best tracks alongside "Pipes"

[Mirage521]

@roofanhealer Valves?

[roofanhealer]

@Mirage521 Valves! Sorry, almost forgot.

[Mirage521]

@roofanhealer Nah it's fine. :)

LOVE that song....

[F1eldHonor]

Welcome back commander, welcome back...

[rayek4eq]

It's odd, whenever I watch the Fountain (soundtrack was done by the ever-so-copied Clint Mansell) I think of this song. YouTube Search The Fountain Soundtrack "Stay With Me".... You'll know what I mean.

[DeGroteOpperheerser]

@rayek4eq You're right, when I heard the first part of 'Stay With Me' I was like... What's he talking about, this doesn't sound like it at all. But then on 0:44, I knew you were right. :)

[Neosimix]

@pidarazd what? 

[Killian286]

This piece wasn't included on the CD release D=. It was one of my favorites, too. Anyone know why it wasn't included on the OST? Thanks

[witzig89]

this song was like the background music of my childhood. I played this game so much

[lmaomarine]

*As you look up to the sky bolts of pure ion electricity strike all around the base. Cries for help and sounds of destruction are all that is heard. Your gaze is finally to the dark murky clouds, a flash of light blinds you and a burning sensation courses through your body as you scream at the top of your lungs...

IM TAKING HEAVY FIRE!!!

[kingdavey90]

Compare this song to the start of "Lone Troop" :)

[SuperMrBentley]

because thats not true.

[IntroSpectre6x3]

But in all honesty, isn't it called an Ion Storm or Overload or something of that sort, when the air around a lightning strike gets electrically charged?

[IntroSpectre6x3]

Thank you mommy. =)

[IntroSpectre6x3]

Is that the effect you get after lightning strikes nearby? When everything around seems to have this eerie yellowish tint, and you just feel energized, literally?

[Neosimix]

it's kinda strange, when i played Tiberian sun at it's hardest., it seemed like the enemy attack less whit this music playing but more with aggressiver music playing.

Anyways its a hell of a good track!

[kingdavey90]

not quite like a "storm" kinda like the suspenseful QUIET BEFORE THE STORM, ya kno? eerie :L

[OtsegoX]

@kingdavey90 Or perhaps the eerie calm after the storm...

[kingdavey90]

@OtsegoX Right! Like smoke is clearing and seeing who/what is still alive..

[Luigi021992]

@kingdavey90 Yeah, for sure, I always liked how the Ion storms disabled certain units such as the Hover MLRS (my favorite small time unit)

[Desolator84]

@kingdavey90 Well, Tiberian Sun ion storm is quite different, you know that. =) Your radar goes blind, aircraft and hover vehicles are grounded, music stops playing... i think this track captures perfectly, even if you can't play it during storm. And yeah, it is eerie, and very nostalgic.

[kingdavey90]

eerie :|

[kingdavey90]

the good stuff...

[kingdavey90]

**ION STORM APPROACHING!** aaahh!!

[raysetiger285]

@kingdavey90 I remember hearing that and getting a sinking feeling in my gut :)
