RA2 IS FREE ON ORIGIN!

[NodFan]

As the title says ea is offering RA2 for free on origin and it comes with the yuris revenge expansion, but only for a limited time (its on the house so it wont last forever).

 

So there you have it RA2 is a freeware now (sort of )

Awesome.

Is it funny that I still have two copies of the original RA2 on discs with one copy of YR and the first decade as well?

[Plokite_Wolf]

I have RA2 and YR in the Red Strike bundle, the TFD disc and now this Origin release

[OWA]

I have Red Alert 2, Yuri's Revenge, the European Red Strike Bundle, Red Alert 2 Collector's Edition, Yuri's Revenge big box, The First Decade, Origin release and Ultimate Collection Origin release. You could say that I'm a little obsessed.

Not at all, why would you be. I mean, where are your RA2 mugs and T-shirts?

I have a rare RA2 poster.

If we're talking about Red Alert games and merch, other than the digital versions, I only have this:

Strong dislike for certain people here... Mainly the last two...

I dont own any RA2 stuff anymore except possibly the manual somewhere (I threw out my RA2 disks because I owned the game via Ultimate Collection so why keep em and because I needed to get rid of as much crap as possible in order to afford the cost to move all my stuff to the other side of the country)

I do own a rather special copy of RA3 though. Its a copy of the Premier Edition and even though its missing the actual game CD (still has the music and bonus disks though) and the metal case is smashed and crap, its still very cool.

Why is it cool? Because it was personally signed/addressed to me by one Aaron "Apoc" Kaufman. I got it because I was running a C&C website at the time and because I was such a big player in the C&C mod scene

 

Its just cool to have and a reminder of how cool Apoc was

Don't care that the game disk is missing since I have the game via Ultimate Collection, what matters is that I still have the packaging with the writing from Apoc on it

No respect for you. You could've at least sold it.

Agreed the disk versions of RA2 are the best for modding. Although the First decade is better than the ultimate collection the disks work best.

[Plokite_Wolf]

They all perform the same for modding. TUC just needs a little push.

[Isaac The Madd]

TUC fixed launchers are a little broken for RA2 and TS.

They had an update earlier this year. And you need to disable Origin for TUC games when you use them if you don't want the client to persistently overwrite them.

 

Also, why use the TUC version of TS when you have a much better full release and a patch for modern OS-es?

[Isaac The Madd]

I use the cncnet version for TS.

This reminds me of Mel Gibson buying all those copies of that book in the movie Conspiracy Theory.

[ChAoS]

I have the soviet disk

 

I lost the allied disk, yuri's disk got destroyed. I have the first decade disks but I lost the serial codes.

 

 

So this was nice.

[Killing_You]

I have two Soviet disks, two Allied disks, one Yuri disk, two TFD disks, and now a real reason to use Origin. What does that say about me?

I had to pack all my stuff fast and didn't have time to sell anything like that (it was hard enough getting rid of all the furniture that was too big to keep/move)

I dunno, let a friend/sibling/etc. hold it until you can get back to it. You could've thought of something. The worst thing you can do to something like that is toss it.

[jonwil]

I tossed a whole bunch of disks and things at that time and I didn't even think of doing something useful with them.

Besides, the disks were in crappy condition
