Command & Conquer: The Covert Operations (1996)
Command & Conquer: The Covert Operations is a 1996 strategy video game made by Westwood Studios.
This is a challenge pack for veterans of the original Command & Conquer rather than a new story. It hands you a run of standalone missions for both the Global Defense Initiative and the Brotherhood of Nod, tuned harder than the base campaigns and built to test players who already know how Tiberium, base-building, and unit mixes work. No gentle briefings ease you in. You harvest, build, and fight across fresh maps that assume you can read a battlefield at a glance. Extra multiplayer maps round the package out.

A few thoughts on Command & Conquer: The Covert Operations
Since this expects the base game underneath it, Command & Conquer: Red Alert carries Frank Klepacki's industrial score if you want the sound of the war on its own. And StarCraft offers a deeper real-time campaign once you have wrung these tougher missions dry.
