Sandbagging
The game's AI fails to recognize walls of any kind as a target, which can be exploited in a variety of ways. Apart from using cheap sandbag walls to protect your own base, you can wall off important passages, or even build a wall around the enemy base, locking his Harvester in or out as well as all of his units. You can then take your time to build up whatever army you need to clean up easily while the enemy can't do anything except watch from the other side of a wall it can't destroy.

Surviving air strikes the easy way
When you're playing the Nod campaign, the AI GDI player will always send its air strikes against your northernmost unit or building, whatever it is. Rather than building expensive SAM sites, of which you'll need several to stop the A-10s before they do any damage, simply place one cheap minigunner a safe distance north of your base, and the poor guy will draw the next air strike to him.

Free Infantry and Gold via Nuke Silo
Build a Nuke Silo as either Allies or Soviet. When the Nuclear Bomb is ready, sell your Nuke Silo, and immediately target the Nuclear Bomb somewhere. The Nuke Silo will partially sell giving you credits and a group of 5 random infantry (but the Nuke Silo will not disappear!), and the Nuclear Bomb will also explode where you targeted it. The good part is that the Nuke Silo will cancel selling itself, so you can keep on doing this trick without having to build more Nuke Silos. This will work much easier under slower game speeds.

Infantry Walking on Water
Infantry can literally walk on water. Put a Transport by the shore and an infantry unit nearby. Tell the infantry to enter the transport, but just before he enters, move the Transport away from the shore. The man will continue to walk on the water. You can then tell him to enter the Transport again, and move it away just before he enters. This way you can get infantry to move anywhere on water, including getting a spy into an enemy subpen which is surrounded by cliffs. Note that if you try this trick with a land vehicle, it will sink, so don't waste your money!

Repair Naval Units while moving.
A naval unit can be repaired by telling it to return to a naval yard or subpen. While it is docked for repair, if you order it to attack a spot out of range it will move to get in range but will continue repairing on the way!

Tesla Coil/Mammoth Tank Structure Glitch
Build a Telsa Coil and a Mammoth Tank. When they are both completed, decide where you are going to place the Coil. Tell the Mammoth Tank to got there. Just before the Tank gets there build the Coil. The Mammoth Tank will drive right onto it! Now you have a Telsa Coil structure with AA and AG missles, 2 120mm cannons and self-healing heavy armor! The only downside is that once the tank moves off, (usually by accident) you cant get it back on. Also, you cant repair the coil until the tank is off.

Unlimited Aircraft
To build unlimited aircraft, start building the airfield and the aircraft. Then, cancel the airfield and continue building aircraft.

Regenerate Ore
During a single player game, if you are running out of ore, simply save the game and then reload it. The ore will magically re-appear.

Easter Eggs
Bovine Freedom in mission 5- op. Dark night
When you start the mission head north towrd the missile silos with only tanya, not the spies or G.I.s. Stay to the right of the path north until you see a barn. Shoot the barrels near the barn to kill the infantry. (this is optional to make the mission easier.) Cross the trail to the east, and head north a bit. You should see another barn. Go behind a barn, and you will see a water tower, and cows in a fence. Shoot the barrel below the tower and the the fence gaurding the cows will blow up. Vuala. You now have control of a few bovine. You can either let them stay and eat grass, send them up to the enemy base, or shoot them off with tanya.

Build Anywhere as America
Wait until you have paradrops AND a building ready to be placed on the map, then click on paradrops icon in the sidebar (but don't deploy them yet!), then click on your building (the one that's ready). Now simply use the mini map in the lower right corner to deploy your building.

Free Infantry
I think this works in all patches.
Build a cloning vats and capture a hospital. Hurt a infantry unit with another unit but don't kill it. Send the hurt unit into the hospital and when it comes out a free infantry will come out of the cloning vats.

Infinite Free Infantry
First of all you need to build the Cloning Vat. Then put walls around your primary barracks so that no infantry units can get out. Now build any Infantry unit, although the unit will be unable to come out and therefore you are refunded but the one out of the Cloning Vat will come out for free. {Note: This will not work if you have the 1.006 patch or Yuri's Revenge}

Cow Exploring
When you free the cows, you can select them just like any other unit, and make them explore. The enemies won't shoot at them!

If you are the Soviets, mind control a school bus and put infantry in it. The Allies won't shoot at it!

Firestorm Lasts Forever (Unpatched game only)
As GDI build a Firestorm generator, and then place Firestorm Wall Pieces where wanted. When ready, activate the Firestorm Generator and sell your Power Plants until you are on low power. If the Firestorm Generator was still going when your power went low the Firestorm will keep on working until you build a power plant and have normal power again.

Free Building Repairs
This is useful if you are playing as GDI. If you have a Power Plant that is severly damaged and it has no Power Turbines on it, you can build one and place it on the Power Plant, and the Power Plant will be set at full health for free without having to repair it! This also works for placing a Vulcan Cannon/RPG/SAM on a Componet Tower for a free repair, and placing an Ion Cannon Uplink or Seeker Control on an Upgrade Center as well. Very useful to save money.

Missile Defence
When playing as GDi build a firestorm generator and place a section of firestorm wall anywhere away from your base, NOD will never attack your base with missles as long as this section remains. Best of all there is no need to activate the firestorm, just having a section laid out is all it takes.

Beating the Stealth Generator
This works for GDI only. You must have access to an Orca Carryall and a Mobile Sensor Array. Take the Carryall, force it to load on the MSA and fly it into suspected Nod Base Territory which is cloaked. The MSA will uncover all the buildings on the minimap, and if it is attacked, the surrounding buildings near the attacker will also be revealed! Cool, huh?
This part works for Nod. Take the MSA and drive it straight into the enemy base which is cloaked. It has the same effect.

Edit Screen Resolution
Edit sun.ini in the game directory and you can push the screen resolution way up from the pathetic 640x480 standard
Look for...
[Video]
ScreenWidth=640
ScreenHeight=480
StretchMovies=no
And just change the values to something more suiting to your PC + Monitor (as Tib Sun looks stupid at 640x480 on bigger monitors)
On my machine I run the game at 1280x1024 with no problems, stops so much scrolling around and you can see all the build options too!

Suicide Take-Out!
Fill up your harvester with as much blue tiberian as it can hold. Then, with a group of Light Infantry, park your Harvester by any of the enemy's buildings. The building, your harvester, and surrounding units and buildings will explode, causing your enemy to be forced to rebuild again!
