History Awesome / CommandAndConquer

* Command And Conquer Generals, First part of the US campaign you see? a group of Crusader tanks wiping the floor with iraqi scorpion tanks, followed by another wave being slaughtered by raptor jets. [[CurbStompBattle yeah,]]

--->''"Our enemies believe that we have been defeated, and that I am no longer among the living. They are '''gravely''' mistaken. You and I are all that remain, but all that is necessary. For together we shall raise a great army. Together, we shall show the world's downtrodden who the real enemy is! GDI promises them prosperity, but in the slums of Rio, the homeless and the hungry know the truth. They have been forgotten. They have '''nothing'''!....'''but''' their '''anger!''' We will take that spark and start a fire which will become a great conflagration! '''[[ThisIsSPARTA PEACE! THROUGH! POWER!!!!]]'''"''

* Going by that, let's just say almost all the units in all the games. Special heart-warming win goes to the Avatar in C&C3, who speaks everything in a full evil DangerDeadpan-type voice.

*** Every time [[MagnificentBastard Kane]] taunts the GDI commander/player it is both awesome and [[NightmareFuel ''terrifying'']]

-->'''Prisoner''': "You're going alone against an entire enemy ship?"
-->'''Havoc''': "Doesn't seem fair. Maybe I should shoot with my left!"

-->'''Havoc''': ''(hops out out of the sub and shoots both of them in an instant with his pistol) [[BondOneLiner "This one is!"]]

** CMOA in music form: One of the themes is based around his CatchPhrase "I got a present for ya".
*** That catchphrase also formed the startup screen for the N64 port, in which the Commando ''blows up the N64 logo''.

* Red Alert 3's most awesome/funny sequence is a mission where all you get is a conscript and a war bear and you are told to go kill TheEmperor of the Rising Sun.

** Which itself gets a CallBack in a trailer for Tiberium Wars: a television reporting Kane's death is switched off...by Joseph Kucan. CueCullen.

** For reference, you've up until this point been taking orders from Seth, a shady guy with a tendency to send you into missions with faulty intelligence (such as calling an area undefended when it is in fact heavily defended) and slight hints of envy towards you. He plans to send you on a mission that is ludicrous in scope. Then Kane is introduced for the first time in the game, by ''killing'' Seth.

* RA3 has the soviet mission where all you get is a consript and a war bear and you manages to bypass entire armies just to kill the The Emperor.

* And the last GDI cut scene in Tiberian Sun has the player character, Michael McNeil, going hand-to-hand with Kane himself in Nod's Pyramid Temple. They struggle off-camera, shots are fired, and Kane walks back into frame, still spouting his "I'm a close second to God" gibberish, leaving the player to think McNeil is dead. Then Kane chokes, checks himself, and realizes he's bleeding, turning [[OhCrap just in time]] to see McNeil running up to ''stab him with a giant shard of Tiberium'' and send him to hell with a pithy one-liner.

---> McNeil: "NOT ON MY WORLD!" (Stabs Kane. You see the Tiberium spike jutting out of Kane's back. McNeil twists the spike and Kane falls to the floor, ''quite'' dead.) "And that's an order."

* Tiberium Twilight has quickly become the black sheep of the franchise, but that doesn't mean it too doesn't have its share of CMOAs.

--> "I like." "I want that." "Pay up."

* CABAL gets a good one in Firestorm. In the Nod campaign, when you're trying to take CABAL's core offline [[spoiler:It turns out the core is just a hologram, and CABAL starts launching waves of cluster missiles all over the map.]] The kicker: [[spoiler:CABAL then taunts you with this line: "By the way, missile launch detected"]]

** ''Kane's Wrath'' is one long CMOA, but that's understandable when you've got an entire expansion focusing on that most Magnificent of [[MagnificentBastard Magnificient Bastards]]. When Kane reveals that he [[spoiler: deliberately engineered Redmond Boyle's survival because he knew he'd act as a XanatosSucker and use the Ion Cannon on Temple Prime]], Kane's capacity for the Xanatos Gambit reaches incredible proportions.
