      • Ah I think they were having issues with keys or something, they mentioned as much on the page. I think it's supposed to be available again later.

        • Yeah, it's available again now. There was an issue with their servers apparently.

    • Just download it DRM free from link below. It is always free.

  • Unless you consider being on Origin a super advantage this is not a bargain (according to the rules) as it is always available for free apparently (incl. Yuri's revenge):

    • I don't know whether this is slow all the time or just now but the download speed for me was <5KB/s on a 14MBit/s connection so it was going to take 6 days.

      Origin may not be the best of game distribution systems by any means, but I commend your patience if you want to have your PC on for nearly a week to download this (not to mention that the connection may get reset partway).

      • You're lucky. I tried three times in as many hours and every time I got an error message to try again later on. I never got to download it at all. :-/

        • I was talking about the site Lysander posted, I got the same error as you for the Origin version every time and EA pulled it from the store in between attempts.

        • @robotsy:

          Depends on time of day you try. Have downloaded C&C1 from there and it was done quickly.
          Same with other games. It's just a gamble as it is with other sites. Sometimes even HB is paintstakingly slow even though I am on the NBN.

  • cheers

  • Thank you! Loved this game so much :)

  • is it possible/necessary to run the 1.006 patch when you have downloaded this game from origin?

    • I'm not sure sorry. Unlike Steam, I'm not sure if Origin uses the latest patches for older games.

    • I tried that patch and it wouldnt work. But after a while Origin came up with a message saying there's an update for C&C so I just updated from Origin. Seems fine now.

    • Just patch the games using the graphics patch on page 1. Works well

    I had my first job ever working for Westwood Studios - good memories!

    Thanks

    I tried posting this again, but I was unpublished by a moderator. I saw this deal available again this morning (01/11/2015) for anybody interested…

    • Yes; duplicate postings (no matter how old the original mayebe …) most likely will be withdrawn by a moderator. Have also experienced this. Thank you for the attempt; perhaps age of original postings need to be looked at and verified … in this case it appears original is still live though.
