I was scepticle about the older games running on XP, but considering you mentioned they have been upgraded I might buy it during the week

I loved all the C&C..but for some reason, I just couldn't get into the whole, tiny itsy bitsy units...no microing..and I'm a microer

Started playing the NOD's campaign in C&C two days ago, really love the cut-scenes between the missions.
I hate GDI's grenade soldiers though, one can literally wipe-out ~5 soldiers of yours.

I also played a round of Skirmish in Red Alert, it's terrifying how useless the infantry are in it. You pretty much better spending your money on vehicles instead.

I so very much wish the original C&C had a skirmish mode.

Around $30-$39, it's worth it though.

 

[the_rebel_medic]

yay
thanks loke

 

[Lucid]

Hm... Only $30 for all of the C&C games?
I'm totally getting it.

 

[dys4iK]

Can anyone tell me if this pack also works with windows 2000?

£29.99 (inc. VAT) here in the UK. Thats the average price of new games for the PC, but what you are getting here is all the C&C games in one package, properly updated to run on WinXP

 

[CyberPitz]

I payed $20 for all the C&C games....it came in a red box a few years back, can't remember what it was called. All in all, I'm not gonna do it again

I saw a user review which said the Soviet cutscenes for RA were left out. Can one of you confirm/deny?

Got RA2 for my B-day when it first came out...I was stoked. Played it for days on end. Then I beat it, and was sad..because I played online, and people just Mirage/and lazer tank thingied me to every game. I gave up.

 

[the_rebel_medic]

I concur with that one Cyberpitz, Online players are annoyingly good. IMO, practice on the hardest bots avalible (custom where applicable) and then finaly go for it.

That's right, but there’s a way to get it fixed.

What you need to do is make two 'virtual discs', or in other words, two versions of MAIN.MIX. I'll number the steps I took sequentially to do this.

1. Create a copy of MAIN.MIX and name it 'MAIN(SOVIET)'
2. Rename the first MAIN.MIX to 'MAIN(ALLIES)'
3. Go to http://xccu.sourceforge.net/ and download the XCC MIXER and the XCC MIX EDITOR
4. Using the XCC MIXER, extract movies1.mix and movies2.mix and export both files to your Red Alert drive.
5. Rename movies1.mix to moviesallied.mix and movies2.mix to moviessoviet.mix (just for categorization)
6. Open both MAIN.MIX's from Step 2. and delete movies1.mix and movies2.mix from the MAIN.MIX's
7. Rename moviesallied.mix back to movies1.mix
8. Open XCC MIX EDITOR and add the movies1.mix to the MAIN(ALLIES).MIX and save
9. Delete (or rename) movies1.mix
10. Rename moviessoviet.mix back to movies1.mix
11. Open XCC MIX EDITOR and add the movies1.mix to the MAIN(SOVIET).MIX and save
12. Delete (or rename) movies1.mix

That should be it (worked for me anyway)
Now whenever you want to play either Soviet or Allies, just rename the corresponding MAIN(*).MIX back to MAIN.MIX and the movies should play fine.

I heard that EA are going to release a patch that'll fix this, nothing yet though.

Should work, otherwise EA are dicks. Of course we all know they are, but still!
