I don't focus on the era, setting etc. That's pointless. Balance, pace and competition is what I like.

I try not to, but I still have a much greater preference for Dune II's setting than for Age of Empires, or I prefer Z's setting to all of the Total War series, and so on. There are some exceptions though, games like Warcraft I were just awesome anyway

Age of Empires overtook C&C as my fav RTS of all time, but C&C:Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert hold so many memories for me so I'll never forget them. Anyone got their copies yet? I want a review!

Got my copy, but can't play it. Need to upgrade the old CDROM drive to a DVDROM one.

lol, cant believe someone is still on CDR without a DVD

Kreeeee · 16 Feb 2006 at 17:48

DVD drive broke a few months ago and just bunged an old spare in there... been meaning to get a replacement for a long time.

cant seem 2 find any pics of this online?

got mine today, had a go at c&c 1, not as good as i remember it, i think its because of all the cut scenes thats putting me off, im much more happy with red alert 1 though, ( oh hell march song how i love you! ) which im gonna play all the way through i can feel, then onto the others!

It's just the old games, hence no new pics.

Edit: Well this is rather buggy. Some music is missing and RA1 and C&C 95 have no LAN or online play.

TrueBlue · 16 Feb 2006 at 20:15

isnt that cos Westwood Online no longer exists?

Kreeeee · 16 Feb 2006 at 20:23

Yes but EA could have added the games to their own network.

Killerkebab · 16 Feb 2006 at 20:30

WHAT? No LAN? No Online play?

Hell, they could have let you play on LAN !

It will be patched.

Kainz · 16 Feb 2006 at 20:54

Are the ingame resolutions still the same? I take it nothing has changed on that front.

Kreeeee · 16 Feb 2006 at 21:01

they are basically identical to the original with an EA general loader and some reg tweaks to allow it to run on WinXP. That's it.... oh and they also broke a lot of stuff and neglected to put a few sound tracks in.

I am very tired of EA and "it will be patched."

Kainz · 16 Feb 2006 at 22:07

Sod getting that then. Can't beleive they spit in the faces of loyal fans by releasing a massive pack that they can't even get right. Cheers for the info.

Tute · 16 Feb 2006 at 22:10

I'll be buying this tomorrow. Waiting for it to appear in the shops, i'm told tomorrow is the official release date, so i'll pick up my copy asap

I'll just have to trust EA to patch it, I know it's asking a lot, but stranger things have happened.

No problem mate.

Any word on if TCP/IP is supported in Red Alert 2? Annoys me that it only supports network play over IPX.
