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.

That being said C&C Red Alert 3 was very good. C&C Tiberium Wars and Tiberium Twilight were decent but really odd.
It's on sale on origin.com again: https://www.origin.com/en-de/store/buy/c-c-the-ultimate-collection/pc-download/bundle/ultimate-collection

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.

Uhm, we're talking about StarCraft II here? If so, can't find it on steam ('cause it's battle.net)
