Anybody know where I could get red alert 1 from?
It is 11 years old so should be free, to me it is still the best strategy game!

Act of War is about 5GB in size, unless you strip the crappy languages out (the non english languages) then it gets shrunk to about 3.4GB. Thats your whole 3GB cap! Whereabouts do you live?

5GB is pretty huge, is it a new game? The I got generals zero hour but I dont really like it, i remember how much fun i had playin red alert though. I am a big command and conquer fan

East Londen is a bit far away from me, so i cant lend you mine. Its a stiff walk and my car is heavy on juice.

5gb is pretty big yes, but the game can be compared to Red Alert on gameplay, while the graphics is totally modern. Sweet stuff. Well worth the investment of time OR money.

What??? There are NO pirates in this forum!!!

Act of War has been out for a few months now... truly superior to C&C but it uses their proven formula quite well. LAN and Online is great fun too.

Any C&C fan will enjoy Act of War...

Get it off BT but ask someone to seed it.GO to www.xdrive.com
its an online harddrive and holds 5 gigs!
Make a temp e-mail account with yahoo or gmail then ill upload the file. the you can downlad it:)
ill make an image. then you get alcohol or DAEMON tools.
It's a virtual drive and works up to 200x faster than using a burned copy of the data itself:)

RA2 & Yuri were great, loved em. Playing Act of War now, of course, better graphics, in game video etc. Lots going on.
But there's a lot more choice now, i reckon.
For instance, for a long period, i played just 3 games for ages. RA2, Diablo2, and Medal of Honor.
Currently installed on my pc are: WOW, Call of Duty, Act of War, X2, Unreal2, Warcraft3, Warhammer Dawn of War, AvP Primal Hunt, Spellforce, Homeworld2, SC Brood Wars, Diablo2.
And quite a few more that i regularly install & uninstall, lol.
Life was so simple back then.
Its difficult to compare a game like Act of War with RA2 because i played RA2 every night and i don't play Act of War every night because i'm spoiled for choice.

The orignal comman & conquer in its time was way better than these new rts imho.

useless

24-06-2005, 07:05 AM

I dont know if you guys heard of Total Annihilation? It was released around the same time as RA? Now that game was waaaaay ahead of its time, line of sight, 3D units, terrain affected combat, scavenging wrecked units, etc. Till today there is a solid MOD following.

Sadly marketing plays a bit part in a game either making the popstar status or becoming a dud.

To clear out my side of the fence, I enjoyed RA but TA had better gameplay. :)

What did you people think of C&C renegade?
I thought it was good for a 1st FPS from westwood

i liked it cept for the rubbish contrls
, i loved multi=player, its might have been a fps, but it still had the c&c element!

I got the act of war demo, it seems very kewl. The Graphics and gameplay is excellent. Atari's answer to C&C?

I want to buy it but i got 1 question, can you play skirmish games like in generals???

Strobemeister

26-06-2005, 04:24 PM

Yup, its called Engagement, but its skirmish :)

useless

27-06-2005, 07:04 AM

The cool thing about Engagements in Act of War is that as you play tougher AI it ranks you in the game, so you can be highly ranked and show that off when you connect online.... though AI players dont compare to the cunning and ruthlessness of human players... :)
