Simply put, name the game and your favorite superweapon from it. You can name one from each command and conquer game you've played and why.

Tiberian sun-Ion Cannon-utterly unstoppable and destructive where it hits.

Red Alert 2-Weather control device-Nothing is as cool as watching a storm form over your enemies base and getting pounded by it.

Renegade-Ion cannon-looks much cooler than the nuke.

Generals-Nuke-simply awesome and destructive.

[Hogo]

Iron Curtain in RA2 just COOL

Generals Nuke is awsome and

TS Chemical missile

[Nighthawk]

TD: Ion Cannon (they never see it coming)
TS: Multi Missile (even though it can be stopped by FS Wall, it's still cool)
RA2: Nuke (BOOOOOOM!!!)
Generals: Demolition General's SCUD Storm )it's the most powerful SW in the game according to most)
Renegade: Ion Cannon (though both the Nuke and the IC do the same thing in Renegade, just different looks)

[OmegaBolt]

TD: Ion Cannon
RA: Chronosphere - the screen flash just rocked
TS: Multi-Missile - Better than ra2 nuke, where it flew accross the screen
RA2: Weather Storm - Allied.. but looked good none-the-less

Personally i think all RA2 super weapons were pretty poor, they all looked crap compared to the previous games.

[MCV]

All superweapons in Red Alert; Ballanced, usefull, cool, and original.

Warzone 2100: LasSat Uplink

I know it ain't CnC, but the orginal post said "game" not "CnC game", yay for loopholes. ^.^

[Nemoricus]

Heh, heh. I implied C&C by putting it here.
If I wanted any game, it would be somewhere else.
Loophole closed.

[Casojin]

C&C: Nuke (you can blow up GDI weapon factory with a single Nuke)
RA1: None that I like.
TS: Chem. missile (always does damage and can be filled up quickly)
RA2: Weather storm (it does more damage at the center than Nuke)
Gen+ZH: Nuke + artillery barrage lvl3 (combine both and it's destructive)

[CaptainCold]

Storm is good but, no as effective, domniator isn't that useul, Curtain is just plain annoying, chorno is ok, so i would have to say gentaic muator for minor and nuke for major.....do you just love the green glow and the half-dead soldiers screeming in death as they melt in to radioactive goo. XD

I've played all the games in the CnC series, and Also some other RTS games outside of the tight knit CnC series, such as Dune 200 and Emporoer: BAttle for dune, and my favorite superweapon of all time, isn't based on its destructive power, but rather its origionality and creativity.

Genetic Mutator in Yuri's revenge.

It was simply awsome to watch, turning a large group of men into Brutes and then watching them destroy other things around them. Never seen anything like it. Although the brutes could be stopped and killed quickly by base defenses, It has to be the most innovative superwepaon in the Command and Conquer series.

My second favorite superwepaon has to be the Weather Control Device in Yuri's revenge aswell, because of its uniqueness and origionally. And it was brilliant fun. Psychic dominator almost had this spot, but I think the weather storm was more fun to watch.

Finally, although not in the CnC series but a close relative of it, the Hawk Strike in Emporer:Battle for Dune for house Artradies has to be on the list. A Gigantic hawk coming down from off screen, and making all units in the area of effect uncontrollabley flee off the map. Brilliant. 'Nuff said.



When you've seen the nuke once, and the ion cannon and some other type of missile it can get boring fast. They are destrutive and powerful, but I don't think they are the most fun, although the Ion Canoon in CnC3 was visually spectacular to watch. The Nukes and uber explosive Missiles are overused in RTS games and its becoming worn out.

[Thats me!]

Ra2yuri:chronosphere(get 6 prism tanks with it and it will destroy a base within seconds)
Gen+zh:particle cannon(low reload time and is great vs buildings)
Cnc3:Ion cannon(well all do the same damage)

RA2- Nuke.
YR- Psychic Dominator.
Generals- Nuke.
CnC3- Ion Cannon.

[Artas1984]

The RA2 Nuke Silo lauches a rocket almost identic to the Soviet R-7 that was used in the cold war from 1959 to 1968. It was 33 meters long, 280 tons mass, with the 3 megaton TNT EQ atomic warhead.

However the RA2 atomic rocket explosion is more like 3 t rather than 3 mt, it sux..

The Ion Cannon can destroy "Mammoth/Appocalypse" type strongest tanks with one shot and the atomic rocket does not? It's disgusting...

Anyway the weather storm is truly original, and much more realistic than iron curtain or chronosphere.

I think iron curtain could be more cool if it had been tweaked to not fully disable damage, at least reduce it to 90 %, because full immuntiy looks more fantastic than anything else.
