Command and Conquer: The First Decade

All of the Command and Conquer games (minus Sole Survivor), bonus DVD, and re-worked for Windows XP. All for 39.99.

EA is evil, but man.... that's sex in a box.

Reworked in what way? Red Alert and C&C classic were "reworked" for Windows XP (they patched the networking code) and ran wayyy too fast on modern machines.

As much as I hate EA, I'll buy it if they redo the netcode to use UDP rather than IPX. Multiplayer games of RA2 are almost impossible to arrange because of all the IPX tweaking necessary.

I've been waiting for ages for a CC box set. Will be buying this for sure.

"I am Seth. Just... Seth. From God, to Kane, to Seth. I am his right hand."

hehehehe awesome.

Does Kane eventually die? That guy was such a badass.

 

[Spazmo]

Well, Joe Kucan, the actor who played Kane, left Westwood/EA/whatever it is now, so I imagine he'll have to be.

 

[Selenti]

Kane dies in Tiberian Sun.

 

[Human Shield]

Kane dies in Tiberian Sun.

He is in a vat at the end of Firestorm.

Taken from gamespot:

GS: The first obvious question with regard to Command & Conquer--what is the future of the franchise?

LC: We are calling it the first decade for a reason! We absolutely intend to continue making games in the C&C franchise, but nothing has been announced at this time. For all the fans reading out there, I assure you that you haven't seen the last C&C game.

*heres to hoping for a Red Alert version of C&C Renegade.

 

[Section8]

Fuck it, why no Sole Survivor? I'd buy game design's biggest folly just to have it preserved for future generations.

 

[Human Shield]

I would like to see a proper end to the Tiberium series but EA will rape it to death after already murdering Westwood.

 

[roguefrog]

I never played Firestorm so I didn't see what happen post Tiberium Sun. I just considered the Nod ending to be the end of it.

 

[Atrokkus]

Never liked Red Alert and C&C.. hated all those midgets running around, repetitive unit designs, clunky interface and pretty mediocre plot (never liked that alternative history bullshit with existing world-leaders and stuff).

And the red-alert generals was fun only because of the physics - the combat was pretty good, although totally unbalanced. Ya know, just for fun.

 

[Jinxed]

You're pretty weird for not liking the C&C series except Generals, which by far is the worst piece of shit RTS that ever came out.

Well maybe he doesn't like most RTS. (ok, I know, lots of speculation)
For instance if little midgets running around really bothers you, most RTS aren't your thing.

Also he didn't say he liked Generals. It had a few interesting things that made the game fun.
He's far from being totally into it.

*note:
I haven't played generals. So it's really mostly just speculation on why he'd find it fun and more importantly why in comparison he didn't enjoy other C&C.

 

[M'Aiq the Dragon]

Anyhow, back to the topic.

I'd like it if they did this release. I might buy it for nostalgia reasons. And I might enjoy some of the titles I haven't tried out. And it's pretty cheap for all those games packed together, even though you might only like 2 or 3 out of them.

Though I hope the older versions won't have problems running on XP.
