Command and Conquer - The First Decade - 02-22-06

A friend of mine bought this the other day and I bought my own copy from an ebayshop yesterday.

Basically, for anyone who likes C+C games, i suggest BUY THIS PACK.

for £30 (no idea what dollar price is) you get EVERY C+C game to date for the pc.

12 C+C games. thats -

Command and Conquer
Command and Conquer - The Covert Operations
Command and Conquer - Red Alert
Command and Conquer- Red Alert - Counterstrike
Command and Conquer - Red Alert - The Aftermath
Command and Conquer - Tiberian Sun
Command and Conquer - Tiberian Sun - Firestorm
Command and Conquer - Red Alert 2
Command and Conquer - Yuri's Revenge (RA2 exp)
Command and Conquer - Renegade
Command and Conquer - Generals
Command and Conquer - Generals - Zero Hour

plus it comes in a nice presentation box with a poster (yeah i know, woohoo a poster, but its there so i'm saying about it)
and a dvd of movies about the series etc etc and lots of bonus crap.

i cant wait for my copy.

It's cheap over here... $30 or $40, I believe. I'm thinking about getting it, since those were some of the first computer games I got into, but I dunno yet; I have too much to play as it is.

slight problems. don't buy it yet.

ea are being complete cunts about it, and not sorting out the older versions.

theyve "upgraded them" to work on xp (bullshit, i checked, they put them in 95 compatibility mode) but thing is, theyre not the up to date versions. theyre old shit ones. and you cant update them very well at all.

you can after doing some patching and changing of files make some play on lan, but not all. theres so many bugs and patches to be done its fucking annoying. plus some games just will not play multiplayer at all.

red alert is a cunt to get going. you have to put in loads of different ports into port forwarding/open in your router if you have one, and change files around and shit and stil it fucks up.

its horrible. its coming down to fans of the game to patch them up because EA dont care. bastards.

i say wait. dont buy it unless you just wanna play offline. if so, get it. but if you wanna play network or online, you gonna have to wait a while. because theyre just not sorted yet. gits.

that's what the review I read said, too. They didn't really fix anything up, apparently; they just threw all the old scraps together

and hardly the most updated scraps. j-boy and i are working our arses off trying to sort out some solutions. having problems. once we get a solution i'll post it. thing is we need to work out 12 of the fuckers.

we know now that C+C works on lan with a simple DLL patch. that can be downloaded via a link from the EA website.

more to come soon.

all good, I'm a large fan of the series and have most of the games, but a technical mistake there, it's not just Command and Conquer, it's Command and Conquer - Tiberian Dawn.

Geekish of me i know, but I loved the game too much not to mention it, otherwise a nice post dude
