C&C: Tiberian Sun & Firestorm Released as freeware - Games

All the good old c&c games are free? Even Ra and tiberian dawn? Wow.

[QUOTE=Beardy;20184653]having fun, but for some reason i can't play any of the c&c games (tiberian sun, firestorm, red alert 2, etc.) without lagging, even on the lowest setting.[/QUOTE] Do you meet the minimum system requirements? [quote]Pentium 166 MHz, 32 MB RAM, Windows 95/98/ME/NT 4.0/2000/XP, 2 MB PCI direct draw compliant graphics card, DirectX 6 compatible sound card, 150 MB hard disk space, 4x CD-ROM drive[/quote] I know those are over the top specs, and I just bought a new PC for crysis 2 :saddowns:

[QUOTE=ManningQB18;20182367]EA is rising to be a good gaming company again I'm so proud :3:[/QUOTE] Not really, it's getting a bit better, but they shake your hand with their right hand (free classic C&Cs and so on) and stab you in the back with the left (Dead Space 2 only on consoles, fucking up C&C4 and so on).

They're average. We have a permanent Razorback anyway.

[B][I]FUUUUUUUCK YEEEEEES![/I][/B] (Though I still have my original CD :v:)

Fuck yes, always wanted Firestorm!

What the? Are EA Delibrately trying to kill C&C? "OK , right, let's make two shitty sequels , and then release the decent games for free. We can't lose , can we?"

I doubt anyone who liked the first C&C games will even give a shit about C&C 4 or anything else that EA shits out that's related to C&C, unless they go back to the style TibSun and the rest had.

I am interested in the story though (hopefully they won't butcher it too much), but I'll probably read it online somewhere.

Apperantly you have to capture towers to generate money or something, that's what I heard D:

[QUOTE=Jessey;20188028]Apperantly you have to capture towers to generate money or something, that's what I heard D:[/QUOTE] More or less, you have "Tiberium spawn points" that spawn Tiberium bouquets (I'm not joking, they are bundled Tiberium crystals that float in the air) ever x amount of time, when they spawn you pick them up and get credits that way. [editline]12:29PM[/editline] Also are there any good mods for TS? The game is great, but I have played it a lot now so some change would be nice.

Try Retro Tiberian sun, it re-add all the things that Westwood had to remove due to cost problems or whatever and adds some new stuff I think. [editline]12:31PM[/editline] Also, fuck you EA, fuck you..

Here: [url]http://www.gametrailers.com/video/exclusive-tiberium-command/60216[/url] They had control points at the beginning, then they changed it to those bouquets.

I just came. [b]Everywhere[/b]

..Wich sucks for them.

I only like the first C&C, RA 1, RA 2 and Yuri's Revange. RA 3 was [I]ok...[/I]

RA2 is a nostalgic minefield for me. RA1 not so much but still a bit. I played Tiberian Dawn for a bit and then got stuck and had to stop. Great music in these games.

I bet they gonna ask presidency for cnc4...

I can't wait until RA2 is free, that was my childhood.

How do i get it to work online?

[QUOTE=TheCombine;20182754]I wonder when Red Alert 2/Yuri's Revenge will turn free. Never maybe but one can hope.[/QUOTE] Probably next year, Command & Conquer was released for free last year.

[QUOTE=Electrocuter;20190312]Probably next year, Command & Conquer was released for free last year.[/QUOTE] Nah I reckon it'll be closer to C&C4s release.

you can play this online, people who still host servers for it: [url]http://strike-team.net/forums/index.php?act=home/[/url]

Thanks for the link! now I can play Red Alert again! :buddy:

Is it possible to play this over LAN with Hamachi or some form of direct PC to PC connection?

Yeah, Hamachi should work you have to goto the options and change which I.P. it uses tho' I think default is your local I.P.
