Which Westwood Command/Conquer game was your favorite? By the way, they did release Command and Conquer DECADE, which has every C/C game/expansion on 1 DVD...

Red Alert was my favorite by far......

 

As far as Westwood is concerned, I spent way more time playing Dune 2 than any of the C&C games. It was the original RTS.

 

Red Alert 2 was my favorite.

Pinkos > Nod

 

Mine is Generals

Just for the simple fact it was the only one I have played.

 

I highly suggest you go out and pick up the other titles. You can pick it up for around 20 USD for most of the previous games.

I never played Dune.....

 

I just may do that.

 

I really did like Generals. Suicide Bombers and the Angry Mob... Those were the days.

 

i loved dune 2, but red alert was great

 

Tiberian Sun was my favorite and still is because of the great selection of vehicles/infantry, the storyline, and of course kari wuhrer

 

If that was your criteria, then Red Alert 2 is the clear winner of TS

 

Red Alert...my first love with RTS games.


And tesla coils FTW.

 

i forget with CC it was but i remember there was one of those cheesy cutscenes and there is this one chick and all of a sudden she takes off her coat or something and if i remember correctly you see her in her panties or bikini

 

I think it was the girl on the left in Red Alert 1

 

 

When does the new game come out?

 

Next month, I think 28 March. There should be a demo hitting the web soon.

 

anyone ever play a RTS game on their laptop using the touchpad? is it doable?

 

Yes, it is very doable, though my banana hands cramp up easily using the touch pad. Just buy a mini wireless USB mouse from Microsoft.

 

mini USB mouse for the win...i use one of those when im on my laptop.

 

I think CC went downhill when westwood was bought out by ea games. The games are still really good, but not as great as the first ones. Red Alert was my favorite game for a very long time and it was the first pc game I ever really got into. Dune was also fun, I really like Dune Emperor.

You can download mostly full versions of various PC games from Microsoft's Marketplace website.

More importantly, there are free, full versions of Red Alert (http://www.windowsmarketplace.com/de...fo&itemid=1584) and Tiberian Sun (http://www.windowsmarketplace.com/de...9#productSpecs) for download

 

Those demos don't work on Win2k or XP... 95/98 only.

Anyone know if the boxed set version supports XP? Did they upgrade the old ones in any way? For example, when the X-Wing Collection came out, it had higher resolution graphics - original was 320x200.

Hmmm... now I want to play X-wing again... I wonder where my disc is?...

 

The C/C Decade box set is 1 dvd, with all the old games. They run extremely fast on my computer...for example the original C/C, red alert/tiberian sun, all of them except Generals, which runs at a rather normal pace.

 

Damn, sorry about that

 

So basically, the upgraded the code so it will run under XP, but did not make adjustments for faster processors?

How bad is it? Unplayable?

 

lets just put it this way. You can either degrade the speed and build times are rather slow...or keep it on fast and have the AI nuking you within 3-4 minutes...literally....

 

Red Alert was the best one, but its tough to go back and play that after getting used to the graphics on Generals.

 

Red Alert is supposedly playable through Dosbox:

wow, command and conquer. now thats a game that i havent played in ages. my favorite is red alert but i havent played that in like 7 years.

ill probably go home and download it tonight

 

I am Downloading the Command & Conquer 3 Demo as we speak.

About 1,300 MB but it's pretty fast though my Gamespot membership.

Has anyone else downloaded it yet?

 

the first one is my favorite, it's my first love.

 

Ash burner let me know how the demo is. Ive been addicted to Supreme commander as of late...

 

Well, I already uninstalled it. Something didn't like my laptop. It crashed me 3 different ways.

Anywho, I played the tutorial and it has the same look and feel of C&C's past. The same shitty acting is back too.

 

I downloaded the demo overnight, but haven't had the chance to play. I watched the intro this morning and it looks bad ass so far.

Will post second-first impressions later

 

I played the tutorial, looks good. I'll mess with it a little later. Can't wait to play the whole thing.

I did a Google search on CnC3demo, I d/l from some site in Belgium. No Charge, it took almost two hours.

Some hot chicks in it. Boomer from BSG and the skinny chick from House.

 

The whole acting thing always had me a bit confused as to it's purpose but oh well....I'll download it this weekend when im not so busy.

 

Ok, played through the tutorial, and part of the GDI mission and so far, I am impressed.

The overall feel of the interface is very Generals, but the whole game feels very Red Alert-ish. I think that is because of the cut scenes and the more "personable" units.

I can already say that this is a buy for me.

One last thing, my PC is holding up very well with this game running at 1152 resolution, high everything (except Shadows) and no AA.
