The Harder They Fall

The Harder They Fall is the third mission in the Nod campaign of Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight.

Background
Despite the support of the current GDI government under Evelyn Rios, much of the GDI military, under the command of Col. Louise James, consistently refused to cooperate with Nod. Forces loyal to James put up heavy resistance to defend the Pacific TCN Hub in Guam, and Kane was greatly angered by James' constant refusal to back down. Receiving information that her ship, the GST Tzadik, will soon be flying low above the Forgotten Tin City, Kane ordered Commander Parker to enter Tin City, clear out all resistance, and bring down the Tzadik.

Preparation for Flyover
Parker's forces arrived with roughly twelve minutes until the arrival of the Tzadik. Using this time, Parker began to clear out GDI forces and capture anti-air turrets that could be turned against the Tzadik and its defenses. GDI had a total of three Defense MCVs stationed throughout Tin City, many of which were destroyed by Parker

Flyover
Soon, the GST Tzadik arrived, accompanied by several Hurricanes and Orcas for protection. However, Parker attacked the forces, destroying all defenses and directly firing at the Tzadik. After taking numerous hits, the Tzadik, now at 7% hull integrity, gave out and fell down to the earth.

Aftermath
With the Tzadik downed, Kane believed that James was out of the war for good. He would use this opportunity to turn his attention towards tracking down Gideon, the leader of the Nod Separatists.
