I think only counterstrike had the ant missions.

Col aint played C&C in years so will check this out - which is more fun allied or soviet?

SOVIET!!!

Retaliation had video briefings for the Counterstrike missions, other than that the PC version is identical.

I got RA working fine with compatibility mode in XP 32-bit with Counterstrike and Aftermath installed...

Never owned this - will give it a try.

Nice to see peeps outside the US can pre-order RA3 off the website. Not.

Well I have TFD so I don't care!

But I still think it would have been easier to just have one 2GB file that installs to HDD and runs from there.

I followed the instructions in the .rar, but got an error about privilege execution, had to set all .exe's in the RA folder to compatibility mode

I didnt acutally read this bit when I was downlaoding it:

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE DOWNLOADING:

This software is not supported by Windows Vista, however there are community driven strategies and tips available for making the software function on Vista which you can find on our various fan-sites.

Might look into it later...

I'm running it in Vista 32.

Set the setup.exe on the cd image to compatability mode win95, install it, run the patch that comes with it, then set the game to win95 compatability mode.

Great game if you can get it working, I own 4 copies of this game somehow plus expansions, not sure if the version in TFD works on x64.

peetee · 31 Aug 2008 at 23:44

Awesome

Great find, thanks

For anyone that's got this working, are you actually finding it playable? The mouse scroll is so fast even on the lowest setting of the slider that I can't control it!
