Can you play generals online?
Hi Guys, A bit new to Origin and found it in my search for a way to play C&C generals. When I try to go online like in the day of past to play others my system says can not connect. Is this way sup...
Generals, Zero Hour, C&C3, Kane's Wrath and Red Alert 3 all used the Gamespy system for their online play, but the whole system has been shut down in July 2014. Not really EA's fault; they're just one of the many companies whose slightly older games lost online support because of it.
However, community servers have already been set up, so it should be possible to play online that way. More information on that can be found at http://cnc-online.net/.
Specific setup and installation info can be found on the "setup page" on their site.
For the classics (Command & Conquer 1, Red Alert 1, Tiberian Sun, Red Alert 2) you can use CnCNet.
Thanks so much for the heads up on this. Will take a look. Would love to play a good game where folks could not use cheat codes as an advantage.
