Its a great value pack, especially if you haven't picked up a copy of C&C 3 yet.

useless...they could at least wait until KW. this is so obviously a money move.

[Luk3us 63]

Yeah so what, its still a good deal for what your getting. No doubt they're release another one once KW comes out. Heck in about 5 years time, it could be 20 games in that little bundle. haha

[TheBlackOut 7]

Hey EA... Forget about the problems with the TFD that fast? ...

[rEdaSbLood 1]

good point...really good point...

[Banshee 28]

I'll only give this package some respect once I see a TFD Patch 1.03 that works in a proper way and fix LAN problems and some instability problems on both TD and RA1. Since I guess it will never happen, I doubt I'll post a good news about it at PPM...

[hagren 0]

They should have skipped TFD altogether, and release only this package, flawlessly working, because the price/value ratio is superb.

[recover 2]

They should really make some patches before this, fix the existing problems.

And yea, it should come with KW.

[hagren 0]

Agreed, it should be with KW.

 

Btw, this was the most interesting for me in the article:

[Koen 2]

Well well, more revenue from TFD. If only it'd get some much-needed patch attention.

Uhm, nope? Or at least, hopefully nope

[Sonic 295]

Sole Survivor is a waste of time anyway. You can't play it any more.

 

Anyway, I've posted a blog update here http://forums.cncnz.com/viewtopic.php?t=8688 about this new C&C Saga pack, following on from Banshee's post at PPM.

[Team Black 1]

I think they should have waited till Kane's Wrath was out before they pt this together.

 

And yea, they should've put in Sole survivor, just because

[Alex06 39]

Should've waited for Kane's Wrath before releasing such a pack...

 

Wow, this is so...so retarded...

[TheBlackOut 7]

No one is making you buy anything...

[Luk3us 63]

PLEASE OS X!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for TFD

 

lol... Your funny.

[Doctor Destiny 41]

MASSIVE FAIL!

[Overcow 0]

Yeah, OS X FTW!!! Just hope it will work for it...

[Luk3us 63]

Let me clarify this...

 

Windows = Games

 

Linux = Gaming Servers.

 

Its that simple, don't waste your time with Linux and games its just not worth the effort, unless you really are that cheap, in which case you won't be able to afford games anyway so again, don't bother.

 

And I'm not anti Linux, I have ubutnu installed when Windows dies for no reason, like it does.

[Overcow 0]

What about Mac?

[hagren 0]

Well, theres TW for mac the least.
