'Firestorm wall sections are advanced defensive barriers used by the GDI in Tiberian Sun and Firestorm.
Background
Used in conjunction with the Firestorm Defense Generator, these emitters are placed like a wall and control the placement of the Firestorm Defense shield. These emitters can be used to completely encircle a base or can be used at key defensive positions.
In-game
Firestorm wall sections can be built once a Firestorm generator has been constructed. Similar to concrete walls, placing two wall sections within four grids on a straight line will cause them to automatically connect.
In its inactive state, Firestorm wall sections are harmless. Both friendly and hostile units can simply walk through them, and they can be destroyed by weapons fire. However, once the Firestorm defense ability has been activated, all Firestorm wall sections will begin emitting an impenetrable force field. Any units standing on Firestorm wall sections when it was activated will be instantly destroyed, including aircraft above them and even Nod's chemical missile and multi missile superweapons.
Each individual wall section consumes power, even when not in use.
