Wow, its been years since I've seen that old image

As per this news forum rule, please stay on topic. Mistakes happen, it was corrected so moving on. I suspect something got lost in translation when the image was created.

I think I'll wait for a price drop before I look at buying it. But this an Activision published game, they seem to stay near full price for a long damn time.

For those who don't know we have been experiencing problems with our downloads system in recent weeks. The problem has been fixed but the decision was made to close down the existing downloads section and scale it back. Since CNCNZ.com is a news and information site, and not a file repository, we are now only hosting a few selected downloads such as the official patches. So with that in mind the Command & Conquer Patch Centre and been created. Your one stop location to download all of the patches for every Command & Conquer game. The Command & Conquer Patch Centre can always be found under the Features menu on the main site.

Zack Synder shared this photo of the new Batmobile. This was after some other photos of it got leaked http://io9.com/batman-v-supermans-batmobile-revealed-is-it-better-th-1632902437 http://io9.com/look-at-those-guns-heres-an-official-look-at-the-batmo-1633338935

Gamers Nexus have posted a new article and video interview with Pat Pannullo, a former Command & Conquer developer at Westwood Studios. He currently the Lead Designer for Grey Goo from Petroglyph and GreyBox. In this interview, Gamers Nexus had the opportunity to ask the former Tiberian Sun and Red Alert developers about RTS as a genre, its future, and quite simply, where it seems to have gone. After you have watched the video you can read the full article right here.

I see no harm in leaving it there for anyone wanting a quick fix. But I have edited the description. Silly me I used the old description from the now way out of date version of the main site. All fixed now

Added a CNCNZ.com mirror for GenTool v6.7 again.... http://www.cncnz.com/features/gentool-for-cc-generals-and-zero-hour/

GenTool, the popular add-on for C&C Generals and Zero Hour which enhances the gameplay experience, especially in multiplayer, has been given another update recently. GenTool is a recommended download for all C&C Generals and Zero Hour players. Version 6.6 is highlighted by further support for C&C: Online, as well as other improvements and bug fixes.

Also, the CNCNZ.com download mirror for GenTool is available again. GenTool v6.7 (6.70MB) You can also download the latest version from the official GenTool site.

Despite the marketing, the updated versions of the C&C games in Command & Conquer: The Ultimate Collection aren't 100% fixed and still cause problems when they are installed on modern operating systems like Windows 7, Windows Vista and possibly Windows 8. With this in mind, Bibber has made his own custom fixed launcher programs for Generals and Zero Hour, Tiberium Wars and Kane's Wrath, Red Alert 3 and Uprising, as well as Tiberian Twilight. These new launchers fix some registry entries and let command-line parameters (e.g. -ui -win) pass through. http://i.imgur.com/iUKZv.jpg If you want try these custom fixed launchers you can download them from this thread on the Official C&C Forums. They have been tested with the English (US) version of Command & Conquer: The Ultimate Collection.

Yeah they did. Just to compare.... I think they made the right choice using the the big one above.

Some more interesting Command & Conquer concept artwork from C&C Saga today. This time its a look at an alternative logo for Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars that was designed by EALA at some stage. Its probably a good thing that they didn't go with this one. Visit C&C Saga to check out a concept image of a Scrin T-shirt design that looks really good.

On the 31st of August 1995, Westwood Studios released Command & Conquer, the RTS classic that started it all, it revolutionized the gaming industry and captured the imagination of millions of fans around the world. Arguably, Command & Conquer is the sole reason why the RTS genre is one of the most popular categories of PC gaming. And so today the original game turns 19 years old. I and many other C&C fans surely remember the classic and gruesome scene of Kane introducing himself to you, as the player. You know where he blows away Seth in a brutal and bad-ass manner. Relive that moment below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOWw2Iu2a4M How did you discover Command & Conquer? what is your most memorable Command & Conquer memory from the original game? Share them with us in this thread on our forums.

Yeah it could be a false positive. I scanned with Microsoft Security Essentials on Windows 7. There is an analysis of the setuptibed21.exe here https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/a9debf77c4d1d7c8e61ce7a4b05a69b5e2f88f9293a02264c943dd597ad766fb/analysis/1403031206/ But I would say the file the 100% clean and safe.

I just downloaded TibEd 2 from http://www.tibed.net/downloads and it transferred fine. I scanned the file, no virus detected. The download size for setuptibed21.exe is actually 7.38 MB. Are you downloading from another source other than the official site at http://www.tibed.net/?

Yeah I got an e-mail from Cypher about this other day. Since it has nothing to do with C&C I decided to not post about it. But its good to hear about what Joe has been up to in recent times.

Due to some technical difficulties, some of our larger downloads are currently unavailable, these larger files are stored on another mirror. It will take some time to fix this, but a plan has been put into action to sort it out as soon as possible. This problem only effects a handful of our files, the majority of them are still online and available for download. We apologise for any convenience.

More great stuff from C&C Saga today, with this video from the cancelled free to play Command & Conquer. This one reveals that at some stage the development team were testing the possibility of the side control bar rather than a bottom control bar. There are also some storyboard concepts towards the end. Thanks to C&C Saga for sharing this video.

Can you believe that Command & Conquer Tiberian Sun is now 15 years old? Many of the Command & Conquer games made by Westwood Studios are truly classics now simply based on their ages. Tiberian Sun is arguably the reason why the C&C Community exists today. Way back in 1997 when Tiberian Sun was announced many little fan sites popped up on the internet, including the early foundations for CNCNZ.com. You see, during the Command & Conquer and Red Alert early days, we never really had an online community, well I guess it was there, but Tiberian Sun sort of changed things in these early days, and the community exploded with activity in a short space of time. The hype for this game was huge, we followed its development intensely, studied every bit of news that Westwood gave to us. Originally set for a late 1998 release, the game got pushed back to the 27th of August 1999. So 1998's biggest game got released in 1999. The game is still considered a true C&C by anyone's standards, but Westwood Studios promised a lot for Tiberian Sun and came up a little short. Tiberian Sun became an underwhelming experience with many of its over hyped, over marketed features simply cut from the game. It was during the development of Tiberian Sun that EA took over as the new owners of Westwood Studios, and people blame EA for the delayed release and cut features. When in fact if it wasn't for EA, Tiberian Sun may not have seen the light of day. It was Westwood who were digging themselves into a deep development hole. Simply promising too much and failing to deliver at the last hurdle. But it's not all bad, it was still a successful game, earning high reviews and general positive praise from fans despite the short comings. If anything it was saved by the powerful and rich story. Tiberian Sun is now "freeware", if you have never played it or lost your copy, grab the download using the link below. The download also includes the Firestorm add-on. Command & Conquer Tiberian Sun (1.3 GB) Share your best Tiberian Sun memories and moments with us in this thread on our forums.

That's what I was thinking. But there are times when CNCNZ.com fails to load, if you try PPM, Revora and other sites on this server they are all working. Some files are hosted off site, it doesn't matter where they are hosted. Its the downloads/tracking system that needs to go I think.

I've had 2 copies of the Platinum Edition over the years. Both times I got the GDI Soldier.

We have been running tests trying to solve a problem with our main site and forums. There are times when then site fails to load and you may be seeing 503 server errors. We suspect its our downloads system causing problems so this means its off line again. For me personally, its really beginning to annoy to me. I will be rethinking about how CNCNZ.com handles downloads, what files we will host. After all CNCNZ.com is a news and information site, not a file repository. At this stage we can't say what's happening with our downloads system but updates will be posted here as things change.

CNC Saga continue to unearth a lot of Command & Conquer concept art. Today they have posted a series of storyboards from Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight. They show how the original launch trailer was planned and made. For comparisons sake, here's the original launch trailer for Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight. More storyboard concepts can found at CNC Saga.

Technically speaking yeah, its not. But that's how its listed on the site, has been for awhile The Tiberian Sun soundtrack is good, it works, but its a bit to atmospheric for my liking. Especially when tracks like Stomp were used in the trailers only to end up having it left out of the game. Since this a Tiberian Sun topic, who ever got the Tiberian Sun Platinum Edition? Still have mine, in excellent condition #190 to be exact.

The team at C&C Saga have uncovered another, and possibly long since cancelled Command & Conquer game. This one was called "Command & Conquer Battle". Little is known about this game, other than the short list below and some concept images.
