Yeah, C&C was great back in the WestWood days. After Generals it went downhill.

I stay away from any EA branding

I quite liked Generals and TW. The frame cap and replay record was quite annoying though.

yeah, the 30FPS framerate cap is annoying, though at the time i plaed them I didn't mind as I was using a generic laptop.

17-20 FPS FTW, oh my times have changed.

Yup. You could easily notice the difference in single player.

Oh and I can't seem to find it on steam

C&C is only through origin i think.

Even then it's not showing up on there.

Heyyo,

Sigh... a pass because of EA? King of Old School... you should know EA has also made plenty of great games too and published a crapton as well of good games. These days yes EA has cranked out some garbage but not everything they do is poop. Giving away classic games for free is a great move that I wish more game devs did.

Giving away Red Alert 2 is epic. That game was a ton of fun and the campaign was decent too with good FMV's. Yuri was deliciously evil and his faction was stupid amounts of fun.

Apparently the Origin servers got overloaded with requests for Red Alert 2 They're (re)offering Theme Hospital as some sort of apology, though.
