I was just watching this renegade advertisment and noticed the ingame Tiberian Dawn shot looks weird

I dont recognize the unit down the bottom right in the water (looks like a weird transport)

also the terrain and cliffs look diff (cliffs look bigger) dunno if thats just me tho

Anyway whats that weird naval unit ?

Here is a screenie incase ur too lazy to watch the vid #Tongue

Yea, i have noticed this too, but i think its a photoshop job.

That craft looks like a Renegade model they have put in just for the vid.

Hyper's right, it's most likely the Renegade transport that was photoshoped into the screenshot. There's nothing wrong with the cliffs, but the road and the shore have clearly been altered.

The Nod heli lacks a rotor and shadow. The power plant is also lower than the CYard. And the infantry lacks shadows as well.

Pretty sure this isn't actual TD in-game footage.

In renegade there is a scene were a TD shot morphs into 3D, you know, like all units in Renegade would be controlled by a commander TD style.

A bit unclear but if you see it it's pretty simple, I'm pretty sure it's from there.
(So I guess it was photoshopped a little)

This screen shot also appears in Mission 2s briefing.

Are you sure it is the exact same one!? Because this one appears to be edited to suit the Renegade advert

In Mission 2's briefing there is, in the background of the GDI command ship, a computer screen with that screen, yeah.

as far as I can tell, it is just the starting region of the mission with TD-esque visuals for nostalgia's sake.

I'm pretty sure I can tell different TD cliff pieces of it, they are all just slammed together so it looks deformed.

Rather, it implied that the game visuals from TD are actually what the EVA interface shows to the commanders.

I don't think those graphics are different, except for the Hovercraft sprite, but some of the cliffs and the road are indeed pieced together sloppily (it's clearly visible if you take a screenshot from the Renegade cinematic, this one is far too blurred).
