I know cnc is one of rts greatest series and you get pretty much every game here for a pretty good price but I hear it is really buggy in some cases. So is it worth it? Also do the problems increase on vista?
 
Have you played the games included before? It not, buy it right this instant.
 
I think people were complaining about EA not making the older games (C&C, Red Alert) work on XP properly or something like that but I can't remember. I have it and haven't had any problems but I'm not on Vista. It's worth getting if you haven't got all the games and it doesn't cost to much now. It has bonus content too but most of it's just shit TBH.
 
Well i've not played them before I've only played cnc 3 and kane's wrath from the cnc series
 
Then by all means, if you don't mind oldies and stuff... get it.
 
Careful running those games on Vista. A patched version of C&C Generals doesn't even work unless you manually copy lots of the files over. C&C3 works fine, but all the stuff pre-generals is bound to be problematic.
 
renegade is the worst of the bunch but the pack is great.
 
Wait for C&C Saga. That's the REAL collection.
 
I thought saga was just TFD and cnc 3?? I already have cnc 3
 
They lost the flair after C&C 1 and Red Alert imho. Generals, Tiberian Sun and all those other spin offs just suck.
 
YES
You must play every Westwood C&C game now. I've only encountered one bug in the entire TFD and that is the Commando one in Tiberian Dawn (Note: the Commando Bug is not actually caused by the Commando and can occur without there even being a Commando in the level)
 
No ****ing way, Renegade was/is awesome.
Had some great MP experiences with it.

Agreed. Feels awesome to actually deal out the omgwtf tank rush in 3rd person form. It's the shame there probably won't ever be a Renegade 2...

But then I stumbled across this at moddb. Scroll down a bit to watch video, I guarantee you will be flooded with nostalgia or cream your pants, probably both.
 
Renegade multiplayer was one of my all-time favorite CNC experiences. Nothing was more awesome than sneaking into an enemy base and single handedly taking down structures with C4.

Have you heard of tiberium??
 
Have you heard of tiberium??

I vaguely remember some info posted here earlier... but IIRC, it's not exactly a spiritual successor to Renegade. Just that they both share 3rd person camera views.
 
From what I've heard Tiberium is going to be a very different game to Renegade.

Renegade X mod looks nice but they could have redone the models to be less crap (ie, less silly). And why do the soldiers all have force shields?
 
I still don't get what's so great about these games. They're all just so boring to me. The only one I liked was Renegade.
I'll give you my FD. Give me your address.
D:
Also, you can do first person in Renegade.
 
Yes. I bought it mainly for the Red Alert 1 patches to XP.

Too bad no force on this planet would ever compel me to even think about buying UT3.

edit : Just watched the video, perhaps... I spoke to soon.
That looks ****ing awesome.
