Command and conquer mega thread (Warning Image Rape) - Games

Yeeeeah, I really need to buy Generals and the expansion sometime :v:

I read that some people had some problems with lan play in Yuri's revenge. Me and my friend used this [url]http://www.moddb.com/games/cc-red-alert-yuris-revenge/downloads/ra2yr-lan-fix-xp-vista-w7-x86-x64[/url] and it worked.

[h2] ANYBODY WANTING TO PLAY GENERALS : ZERO HOUR - SHOCKWAVE [/h2] get the fuck on tunngle

So I spent this day testing Shockwave. IT'S FREAKIN' AWESOME and I don't write in caps too often.

[QUOTE=WarRocker32;29915569]So, we have a tie between Tiberian Sun and Shockwave. [img_thumb]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/tick.png[/img_thumb] for Tiberian Sun, [img_thumb]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/information.png[/img_thumb] for Shockwave. [editline]18th May 2011[/editline] Alright, children, get on tiberian sun. One last question, Tiberian Sun or Tiberian Sun: Firestorm?[/QUOTE] Firestorm, because its more balanced. [editline]19th May 2011[/editline] Anyhow, how are we going to join? I need to know what we are using and that so I can get my game running.

We're using Tunngle to play the game. I'm gonna be playing Tib Sun: Firestorm over it in a few minutes, if my internet connection decides to work for longer than a minute.

I'll check Tunngle out then and maybe come on later. I'll need to reset my rules file, as I've been changing it to act like a zombie mod or something.

Okay, turns out Tiberian Sun has the same problem as Red Alert 2 for me. It refuses to open up the Network menu, and just sends me straight back to the main menu. No error or anything, just a little flicker as the main menu is reloaded. Fuck this, I'm going on Zero Hour. Edit: Just saw laarg's post, gonna try that fix later. Edit 2: The fix laarg posted works for both Red Alert 2 and Tiberian Sun! Add me on Steam and get on Tunngle, we'll work a game out. I'm hoping for Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge, just without Yuri.

So I went to the store today and bought Command and Conquer the 1st decade... again. I'm NOT losing this disc or the key this time. Don't you love the smell of a fresh game case? The manual and the poster reek of that amazing smell. And what made it even better is the entire electronics section in the store I go to got remodelled so it has that fresh feel and new plywood smell to it. I will install tomorrow, fire it up and spend the rest of the night on a campaign. This series is what got me into PC gaming. I played RA1 all the time with my dad when I was 8. Silos EVERYWHERE and I would replay the demo over and over again just to shoot the barrels.

[QUOTE=afromana;29925367]Even though I'd rather play something like RA2 and above, Its not shit.[/QUOTE] RA2 is great I just hate TS.

[QUOTE=yaik9a;29936143]RA2 is great I just hate TS.[/QUOTE] You hate the most atmospheric of all C&C games. ...

This thread motivates me to actually beat the campaigns of Generals and Zero Hour. I played waaaaaaay too many custom games (minimaps, no money, etc).

[QUOTE=Lazor;29938062]i remember playing the shit out of defense maps it almost always desynced though which was frustrating[/QUOTE] Yeah! Took an hour just to get into an AoD sometimes. Then the AoD itself takes like 2 hours until you get to the fucking wave that is just impossible to kill. Good times.

I remember playing Red Alert 2 erryday.

Downloading Tunngle & Shockwave, anyone interested in playing later?

I wish we could all play on a RA2 server.

Replaying the original C&C on GDI at the moment, last time I played it was around 1995-1996.

[QUOTE=Mikesword221;29947193]I wish we could all play on a RA2 server.[/QUOTE] Get the LAN fix that laarg posted near the top of this page and install Tunngle. Problem solved.

The music is a nostalgia bomb. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVNubbPiZAU[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVimLoYduYw[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-nNchLkej0[/media]

Act on instinct is the best song in the original C&C. In RA2, my favourite is Destroy [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBW7fb8R9a0[/media] I rank it a bit higher than Hell March II.

I thought No mercy was the best song [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HheSOqMqYRU[/media] maybe because of my own realization that it quoted Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey ( best film ever IMO ) , maybe because it's the theme of Command and conquer ( You can hear it in all the hell marches , and I'm pretty sure a handful of songs in the Tiberian series ) or maybe because it's just a bit funky

Ok I got Tunngle working, and I am idling in the Tibsun lobby.

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ybz62OoqRs4[/media] This was the music at the matchmaking screen. I've heard this for at least 100+ hours.

[QUOTE=Orkel;29947867] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVNubbPiZAU[/media] [/QUOTE] I played most of the C&C games before I finally got to Tiberian Dawn. I didn't expect much from it, just standard C&C fare, really. It wasn't insane or dark enough as Red Alert or Tiberian Sun. I didn't expect it to leave much impact after all I went through. I'd never expect it to ever be seen as first C&C in my eyes. And then I heard Act of Instinct. And so it was set, that it was the first C&C that begun it all.

I seriously need to buy the soundtracks sometime.

red alert 2 rts of the year all years

[QUOTE=Rediscover;29958509]red alert 2 rts of the year all years[/QUOTE] Na, Tiberian Sun is superior.

[QUOTE=TheThing;29959184]Na, Tiberian Sun is superior.[/QUOTE] sorry no, TibSun was good but RA2 was better
