HOW

Don't think so... all of origin is based on downloading games through the Origin system. Unless you can actually drag over your PC to your office to make it download the stuff there I'm afraid you're out of luck.

However, Command & Conquer 1, Red Alert 1 and Tiberian Sun are all freeware, so you can just download the installers for those to flash drive. They have also all been upgraded with community-created unofficial patches that fix a lot of their bugs and compatibility problems. You can find them here:

Command & Conquer 1:

• Complete No-CD game installation pack (v1.06c r3, no videos, all music included)
• English videos pack (French and German video packs are also available on the website)

Red Alert 1:

• Web installer/patcher + some extras like the expansion pack videos from the Playstation version
  Since it's a web installer though, you'll need to download the isos separately (scroll down to the "free allied download"/"free soviet download" buttons) and point the installer to them, or it'll go looking for them online. Instructions for using the isos are included in the thread.
  Another option is to just install it locally on flash drive at the location where you downloaded it; the installed folder is fully portable.

Tiberian Sun:

• Full game

For Red Alert 2, there are instructions here on how to get it working from original CDs, using the multiplayer-only installer distributed by XWIS as base.

I haven't tried it out, but I imagine it might be possible to get the CD files indicated there by installing RA2 through Origin on some internet-enabled PC, and just taking them from the game folder after the install.

Oh, wow. That's an interesting fix. Good job! As long as that still sets all the registry stuff right...

C&C4 does have some permanent-online thing as DRM system, if I remember correctly. I know that after the game's release there were a bunch of complaints about that since even in the game's single play, players got booted from their game for losing connection to the internet for a second 🤨

(Not that C&C4 is really worth playing altogether, but that's just my opinion 🤒)

For the pre-RA2 games, though, it's probably far easier to install them from the full installers I linked to, and even if you did it this way, it's still worth it to patch them with the community patches; some of them are quite vital. For example, the C&C1 patch (also available from the downloads there) includes fixes for two bugs which cause fatal game crashes, and which are more or less impossible to avoid while playing.

As for the topic title thing, yeah, I already reported that usability issue to the staff a while back; it's not clear that it's even an editable field after you choose to post a new topic. You can just click that title on the ask/edit screen to change it.
