Tiberium Wars is loaded with this, most often dealing with the Brotherhood of Nod. Among the highlights:
- Active description of Nod's combat stims, with at least one reviewer commenting that they were out and out terrified by the description of it in action.
- The Black Hand's love of fire, including a rather chilling scene where they move through a burning building.
- He thought he could hear screams, but over the roaring flames, he couldn't be sure.
- Flame tanks. Yeesh. The description of their brutal efficiency is horrifying.
- It isn't just Nod and their penchant for fire that's scary. Being on the receiving end of a GDI Mammoth Tank assault is just terrifying.
- LEGION. Even if he is voiced by Tim Curry. Remember what happened to his predecessor?
- And back on the GDI side: Zone Troopers and their railguns. They have ultra-durable Powered Armor, inhuman accuracy thanks to their sensors, can penetrate armor and buildings effortlessly, and the Nod infantry regulars facing them don't even have standardized rifles, let alone equipment to compete.
- The "smart" claymores. They're small, innocuous disc-like devices that can be attached to walls or ceilings. If you're wearing a recognized uniform or IFF tag, it lets you pass. If you're not, it will hit you with a cloud of hypersonic shrapnel and white phosphorous that leaves the victim spread across a room as nothing but blackened meat and shredded equipment.
