Command & Conquer Remastered Collection Available Now on Steam and Origin
EA announced that the Command & Conquer Remastered Collection is now available worldwide on PC via Origin and Steam, and as part of an Origin Access Premier subscription.
Developed as a labor of love between EA and some of the original Westwood Studios team members at Petroglyph, the Remastered Collection is comprised of Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn, Command & Conquer: Red Alert and their three expansion packs - Covert Ops, Counterstrike and The Aftermath. Veteran fans and those new to the franchise can now experience one of the most beloved real-time strategy games in history with native 4K support, rebuilt multiplayer, enhanced UI, a seven hour remastered soundtrack by Frank Klepacki, modding support and much more.
Built with the community in mind from day-one, an active Community Council has been involved since early pre-production with 24/7 access to the teams at EA and Petroglyph to provide feedback during development. This feedback has helped shape features such as a revamped UI, updated controls, a Map Editor, and a modernized online multiplayer experience, featuring custom games, 1v1 quick match, Elo-based matchmaking, leaderboards, replays and much more.
"Our top priority when developing the Remastered Collection was to make sure the heart of Command & Conquer can be felt from the second you boot up the game," said Jim Vessella, Lead Producer at EA. "We've been working hand-in-hand with the Westwood veterans at Petroglyph to ensure the iconic gameplay remains authentic while adding key features for a modern experience. We could not be more grateful for the C&C community's support during this journey, and especially the feedback from our Community Council which has been integral in bringing this love-letter to life."
Command & Conquer Remastered Collection features rebuilt graphics and textures from Lemon Sky Studios with native 4K support. Frank Klepacki, the composer from the original C&C titles, has remastered seven hours of music for the project, which includes over 20 tracks re-recorded with The Tiberian Sons. In addition, Command & Conquer is now one of the first ever major RTS franchises to open source their source code under the GPL. Earlier this week the TiberianDawn.dll and RedAlert.dll and their corresponding source code was released under the GPL version 3.0 license, which will unlock powerful mod support for the Remastered Collection and community projects for years to come.
Command & Conquer Remastered Collection is rated Teen by the ESRB and is available worldwide on Steam and Origin for PC for $19.99 USD. Origin Access Premier members will also get full access to the Command & Conquer Remastered Collection on PC today for as long as they are subscribed. Origin Access Basic members receive 10% off the full game. For more details, visit origin.com/origin-access.

The original CD version (so the 2 games) with all DLC and with the patch to make in work on W10 were until recent removing from EA at 7,99 Euro to download.
UBI and EA sell remastered version way too expensive.
i am not poor at all, it's just remastered version of old game.
Realise that 19,99 Euro is the price of a big recent game on summer sale
So you don't value peoples work.
Got it.
Please by all means go and remaster some game, bring it up to modern capabilities something it never was intended to do, add mod support, create and change so much, and then sell it for dirt cheap because apparently your work is meaningless.
You're literally complaining about having to work 1-2 hours on average to pay for all this work that has been done.
Again, why are you here? If you don't want to buy it, if you don't think its worth it, move along. Wait for a sale or just forget it was ever a thing and move along.

Really? $20 for two games, all their expansions, remaster, full mod support, etc.?
Man, you must be really poor if you value peoples work that little.
Also, why is it you're posting? What's the purpose? Just to start something? If you don't wanna buy something, move on.
To be honest. If one already owns original games, and only thing they bring to table is visual and audio side... It is unreasonably high price.
Their faithful replication of original experience goes as far as 4player limit for TD. Bad pathfinding. Sometimes weird AI.
They are so faithful to original, that they did not even deliver cross TD & RA multiplayer, which was quite good mod.
And they are unlikely to deliver cross multiplayer for TS & RA2 either.
And that's rather funny since they made those games run on same engine. it is even funny that even while games are sold together, they have separate installations and executable files. (For same engine.)
Game could have had one installation, and player would select actual faction in menu. And game would load adequate resources for SP.
This would enable easy multiplayer selection: Classic TD, Classic RA, TD vs RA.
Which is funny, because that would enable single backend for dedicated EA servers for multiplayer for all 3 modes.

i think its a fair price for two old games but youre entitled to your opinion
i actually broke a years-long boycott for this little bundle. i hadnt given EA a dime since BF4 until now...but honestly, the old westwood devs deserve it. they did a fine job remastering everything, especially the expanded soundtrack
