Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun and Firestorm Keyboard Controls

Strategy games → Part of the Command & Conquer collection →

Tiberian Sun still plays by the old Westwood rule: the left button selects and gives every order, the right button cancels. The modifiers do the rest — Ctrl to force fire, Alt to force a move, Ctrl and Alt together for rally points and guard patrols — while W lays way-points and Ctrl with F9 to F12 bookmarks the map. Taken from Westwood's printed PC manual.
