That being said C&C Red Alert 3 was very good. C&C Tiberium Wars and Tiberium Twilight were decent but really odd.
I wanna get Red Alert 2 working again. Generals was not as good as RA 2 as something new, but still a really good one.
I never really liked Red Alert 2. I liked the story and upgrade system behind Generals a lot more. Especially when Zero Hour came out and introduced a ton of new units.

I liked that they gave all 3 factions a way of printing money in the late game.
US supply drops
Chinese hackers
GLA, black markets -

GLA, black marketsYep, that was a really fun feature. Plus the General abilities. I loved calling in air strikes and suicide bombers.

Company of Heroes I love as a game, It's how Zero Hour should have been (I don't play 2 just 1) because it takes the best of Zero Hour but gives each unit real stopping power.

I haven't played Company of Heroes in a long time. Was the original squad based like Company of Heroes 2 was or am I thinking of a different game?
-
I would not call either squad based. Squad based is more like XCOM. I call them control groups in an RTS, where you can blob key units.

Ok. I must be thinking of a different game. If you look at Dawn of War 2 you'll see that it is Squad based. That's what I mean.
-
Yeah never played it. I prefer something a little more bombastic.
Like a weather control device or a nuclear missile.

Gonna buy it.
This will be my first and only origin game. Because stuff you EA.

Ok, I tell a lie. BattleField 2 appeared in my origin library but only because it was already installed. Also was gifted "nox" as a freebie just now.

I haven't been able to make it work on my Windows 10 machine. Generals was my all time favorite C&C game and right up there as one of my favorite RTS games.
Apparently on Windows 10 their DRM driver does not load and crashes the game instantly. So you need to use a no CD patch (which I guess only works on the retail copies of the game)

I have the CD's but could never get a no CD crack to work.

Both games loaded instantly in the ultimate collection. RA 2 and zero hour.
Maybe re-buy them in the ultimate collection?

Did exactly this. Already had most of the games, but I hate fiddling around with no-CD... Not that the Origin client is any better ...

There was no such issue for me like 6 months ago. Played Generals, Zero Hour vanilla and with mods on 10 without any problems. Want me to try again?

I'll have to try again. I couldn't even get it to launch.
