* Winning the campaign for any side is pretty awesome, but the IwoJimaPose for the JSF ending stands out.
** Also, EFEC victory speech. It hits you that an alliance of relatively weak countries in Europe, formed only a few years ago, has not only bested [[{{Eagleland}} the most powerful nation]] of the 21st Century but also [[MakeTheBearAngryAgain tamed the angry bear]]. And that is ''awesome''.
--> "Colonel, the war is over, and the [[UnitedEurope European Federation]] is the victor. The torch of our great civilisation, lifted scarcely two years ago, has weathered the tempest of a global conflict to burn as a solitary beacon of hope for all mankind! We are the heroes of this new era! Fighting at my side, you have achieved glory, maybe perhaps... immortality. For Europa, Colonel. Victory always."
* Any time a unit averts TacticalRockPaperScissors and destroys it's counter-unit.
* Defending in Siege mode. Your units stand in their capital and must {{hold the line}} in front of a massive relay, while unable to call in reinforcements or support. If you hold out for 10 minutes, [[BigDamnHeroes the regular army arrive in droves to help you out]]. Bonus points if you manage to defeat the attacking force ''all by yourself''.
* The deployment of each faction's Superweapons upon DEFCON One being declared. JSF? Massive kinetic strike that sends a massive cloud of smoke into the air. EFEC? An enormous pillar of blue light shoots down from space, utterly destroying anything it's used on. Russians aren't quite as spectacular, as all they have is a fuel air bomb, but it still causes a huge explosion with a friggin' ''mushroom cloud'' as the aftereffect.
* Deep Striking a unit of Riflemen ''behind'' the frontline to capture your enemy's closest uplink. Then making it your Forward Command and dropping a unit of tanks right on top of your enemy's deployment zone.
** Of course, this is also a DeathOrGloryAttack and can result in your riflemen TrappedBehindEnemyLines.
* Your one unit {{No Sell}}ing the combined firepower of 3 of its "prey". The sight of all those pathetic bullets just ''bouncing'' off your tank is wonderful.
