The games are just direct ports.

Did they include Mechanical Man?

I might buy it just for that

Some developers on the official forums have said they are working on a few issues.

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

Solves all your probs.. emulates IPX over IP and Works a treat with RA2 - Enjoy.

About God damned time. They could have done it before the release dammit. What have they changed then? Sounds to me like all they have done is grabbed all of the games, compiled them onto a single DVD, and sold that.

Why did it take them months? I could do the same thing in all of one hour!

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

Bummer all i wanted it for was RA1 online

That's exactly what all the press releases said the game would be. Not sure why you feel hard done by.

order my copy yesterday! finally red alert on my XP machine. They could have improve the graphics on the older games tho.

Just placing the DVD in my drive now

(Jesus, I'm a geek sometimes)

Tommy B · 17 Feb 2006 at 10:54

To be honest I really hope they don't start releasing patches.

I bought this because all the games are in their final patched state. Ie I can install it all and EVERYTHING is up to date for online play. If they release patches, it's back to square one!

LMFAO!

DUDE, hilarious.

I'm in no rush to get it, what is the packaging like as i'll probably only buy it for commemorative purposes?

Whoever had the idea of making the user type in no less than seven cd-key's, needs to be hung on a wall and shot.

Fix's for internet play with C&C orignal and Red Alert can be found here:

Also lets you play on LAN

Edit: Doesnt seem to let you play RA1 on LAN but C&C orignal seems to work

Radiation · 17 Feb 2006 at 14:19

It's a shame they didn't make a front end to run all the older 2D C&C games so we had easy access and proper updated code to run them better and for multiplayer, its just a quick slap together job.

BoomAM · 17 Feb 2006 at 14:59

Maybe they'll release a 'mega-patch' which'll patch them all for proper MP play.

In that case, why did it take them months to put it together?

TrueBlue · 17 Feb 2006 at 17:25

im more concerned with the missing video for the RA1 Soviet campaign!

how the **** did that get through beta testing?!
