I'm still sticking with my original statement.  But I have to clarify my 
reasoning.

When it comes to single-player (solo) gaming, Tiberian Sun is the best of 
the C&C/Red Alert series!  Why?  Let me count the reasons.

Tiberian Sun missions are the most varied and interesting.  It isn't all 
about building up a base and destroying the enemy's base.  When you play as 
a GDI or NOD, you think one side really is superior (I thought GDI was 
until I realized NOD had better defensive base capabilities).  The units & 
vehicles were really ahead of its time when you compare the game to RA or 
RA2.  And lastly, TS really was harder for me compared to the other series.

When it comes to multi-player (online) gaming, I imagine that TS is the 
best to play with too, although I imagine that NOD gets played an 
overwhelming amount due to its superior defensive base technologies and 
offensive weapons (stealth, artillery, destructive chemical weapons, 
lasers, burrowing, etc).  The only good thing I can think about GDI is if 
someone gets to build too many bombers, then GDI will attrition NOD to 
death.
