C&C GOLD FOR FREE!!!

Mooga · 09-02-2007, 05:30 PM

EA has released C&C Gold as free downloads. Both disks are ISOs, but that just makes it easier

. I'm pulling 'em down so I have them when I get back from work. Maybe internet play is available? If you need any help with ISOs, post here... I'm sure we can help you with a few pointers

EDIT:
Magic Disk - For mounting ISOs
Daemon Tools - For mounting ISOs

NOTE: These are said to be XP compatible

ooooo...I wonder if these are XP compatible....I know the originals I have aren't...

Bubbles · 09-02-2007, 05:56 PM

We are providing the original Command & Conquer Gold as a free download, compatible for Windows XP! This is the same version included with the collectors pack Command & Conquer: The First Decade.....

PLEASE NOTE BEFORE DOWNLOAD:

We are providing the ISO image of C&C GOLD for both the GDI and Nod discs. In order for C&C GOLD to run on Windows XP, you will need to burn the ISO image onto a CD with a CD Burner and any "CD Burning Software" such as Nero, Alcohol, etc. There are also a few extra steps in order to make C&C GOLD run on Windows XP after you burn it to CD....

*Command & Conquer is not online compatible

=(

Yey 6 kbs

Ironic....it used to be. At least, via direct dial to your opponant.

I don't need it, though...I have the 1st Decade set, so I already have it.

Innoc · 09-02-2007, 09:04 PM

IIRC the original C&C was IPX only.

TheWetMule · 09-02-2007, 09:10 PM

If you can play it on lan and you want to play one of your friends or something you should get Hamachi, wonderfull program creates a virtual lan with NONE of the hassel when you're done using it just turn it off, simple as can be!

www.hamachi.cc if any of you are INTEREZt0rzds

Yeah, EA kinda pulled C&C Golds online capabilities because they didn't want to pay for it anymore.

On the other hand, I can get older versions of C&C to work on XP. If I remember how to do it.

They passed the old RA2 servers to the fan community.
As for running the older version: why not use something like dos box?

yeah um, i just did a sex wee

Jiggles · 09-03-2007, 03:56 PM

This is pretty cool, though get ready to wait, 'cuz the dl speed is slooooooow.

Coronius · 09-03-2007, 08:59 PM

I've been downloading all day, im at 157 MB.

Hype · 09-03-2007, 09:00 PM

The only RTS games I like are warcraft and starcraft, But I can imagine this is good news for many gamers.

But those are not the CnC Gold and RA1 servers, are they?

As for getting certain versions to run, I can get the windows 95 version to run, but not the DOS version. I guess they could just do what you suggested.

Mooga · 09-04-2007, 05:27 AM

We can get a hamachi game going though

TwoTired · 09-04-2007, 10:07 AM

Total Annihilation beats C&C and StarCraft any day D=.
