It's a good game in itself, but I'm rapidly going off it because it is too hard!!!
I try every tactic I can on those silly set-piece missions (the ones where you have a set task and not enough troops to complete it!!)


I have got as far as NOD misson 7 - trying to steal some GDI helicopter and destroy a village. Either my troops are pulverised trying to get my engineers there, or the [INSERT UNREPEATABLE DEROGATORY TERM HERE] destroy my captured helipad!

:help: SAVE OUR SANITY!!

By the way, I need some cheats that will enable me to build instant ION cannons and nukes, or something like that. A map reveal would be handy too!

go here for the game: Ebay
god, i love google's cache LOL. I spent hours looking for this game to complete my C&C collection.

btw, ADMINS YOU DONT HAVE TAKE IT DOWN AND SHOULDNT!!! The Internet Privacy Act signed by bill clinton says that you have the right to exclude ESA or w/e from those legally allowed to even view the site. this means that they have no right to complain if find what they dont like! They must obtain a warrant to search the site first, and they cannot use evidence (or have foreknowledge of) what is here. :w00t: :angel: :bye:

so just post something like this in ur homepage, and no one can complain about copyright b/s:

The Internet Privacy Act signed by Bill Clinton means that we can exclude authorization to access our site to certain individuals. We herby exclude ALL anit-piracy, corporate, legal, and law-enforcement organizations from accessing this site. We also exclude ANYONE who wishes to sue us in a civil or criminal suit now or ever. This means that if you find something here that violates the law, and you follow suit, then you are breaking the law (and illegal evidence is non-permissible in court, as the Supreme Court has made very clear in numerous cases) unless you have obtained a warrant to search this site. Such a warrant cannot legally be based on information obtained on this site (as a result of Supreme Court decesions), including this disclaimer. Therefore, we claim no responisbility for what is here and/or posted here by other members.



note that i am not a lawyer, but i am pretty damn sure that unless you put something on your site worth a twenty $20k+ lawsuit, you will have no problems.

Surely an act signed by Bill Clinton would only affect the rights of Americans? Either way, it's Kosta's decision, since he's the owner of the site, and he has said NO, so no matter what Bill Clinton did or didn't sign, don't post download links and stop this warez-talk, please.:not_ok:

i'm not warez talking actually, that link is from THIS site. i found it through google's cache of the page, which may be found here:
*link removed*

in any case, i am not a member of these forums, so i dont fully understand who your admins are, where they live, etc. HOWEVER, it doesnt matter where the admins live as far as the internet privacy act is concerned, it matters where the SERVER is.

i wont discuss this legal stuff any further, but i would like people to know that i think it would be VERY sad if this game were to disappear forever. it is the core of a long series of games, which has a VERY large communtity. to prove my point, check out these sites:
*links removed*

and many, many others. The C&C community is now celebrating 10 years of the game, and both WOL (EA's online service for C&C), and XWIS (XCC WOL IRC SERVER, provided by strike-team.net) are VERY active with online gamers. I am one of them.

Edit by Tom:
Well, with so many active gamers, how can the game be lost to history?
Now stop thise warez linking.

Uhm... We were requested to remove the game, by the people looking out for it's copyright. It doesn't matter to us whether or not Bill Clinton gives us permission to host it. What matters to us is what the makers and copyrightholders think. If they say no, we acknowledge.

It's all a matter of respect. If you create something, you are entitled to see it dwindle off into history and get forgotten. This is your wish, and everyone else should respect that.

you obviously dont understand that the people who used to be in Westwood got unfairly bought out by EA games, which is currently doing illegal things to their employees, and using unfair tactics to force out competition in an already tough economy. The founders of westwood created this game, not EA. If you were contacted by EA, then you should not respect that. I SERIOUSLY DOUBT that Westwood's founders would want this game taken down.

In fact, many people have left EAW and formed Petroglyph. No one is going to be sad (except the @------- who are doing these things) when EA dies (and it will eventually). Go to any C&C forum and ask if they'd rather see Ra3 done by Pertoglyph than EA. Ask what they think of the online gaming and support that they have given their C&C games. I gurantee you that the poll will turn out "Petroglyph" and you may even see a few flames directed at EA. In fact, just go LOOK at a C&C forum. You'll find lots of topics there about the many crimes by EA games. I remember reading one particular insteresting note in which a top executive left EA because he was sick of what he saw .

Long story short: If you were asked to take it down by the Westwood founders (and they were not intimidated by EA), or Petroglyph, take it down. If you were asked to take it down by EA games, or EA games told you to take it down through the ESA, then don't respect it.

btw, i see you have replaced my link with "Ebay". Please put the link back up. Especially since EA would rather it not exist on Ebay anymore either, since as I have already stated, EA wants to get rid of all good games - for the wrong reasons.

^^Read Above^^

btw, sorry for the tripple post, but i dont have another way

anyway, i just want to be very clear about one thing: Tiberian Dawn is never going to dwindle and be forgotten, since it is the core of the entire series except Ra1, Ra2, and YR (Ra3 is not believed to follow the Ra1 storyline, if it is ever created). After a whole decade, the C&C community is as vigorous as ever, and still growing in strength. There are thousands of community members (on forums, etc), hundreds of thousands who have (and still do) play online, and probably millions who have played the game. People are joining C&C online in large numbers. How do I know this? I've roasted their bases over and over.
