Red Alert in France

[tyayedouard]

Hi guys,

just realised there's still a community playing red alert 2 and i'd love to play it again.

Saw the topic to buy it but the amazon link only delivers in the UK and the origin's one leads me to an error page. I was wondering if there was any french around who could tell me where i can buy it.

Thanks 

ps: i have the cd version somewhere in my house, but it's probably in the same place I misteriously lose all my socks :roll: . Would it be illegal to download it from a torrent, and would i be able to play online?

Yes it is illegal to download it from a torrent and we here won't help you or any one get a illegal downloaded version working. Maybe some one will know how to get you a good link for Origin or do some seaching for you old CDs.

The Origin version works just fine for me. But you can't just download RA2 by itself though, you'll need to purchase C&C - The Ultimate Collection.

Titan: That's just the cncnet installer, not the actual game...

Is it possible that I got the real game with it some couple of month ago? Or I had Yuri already installed on my pc and i completely forgot about it

NO.

I second that you should get the Ultimate Collection/First Decade version, but the standalone version of RA2 is also available on Amazon France:

Do note that CD/DVD versions of games will have problems because of the updates in windows that removed safedisc/securom. Fairly sure RA2 is one of the affected games.

Updates that are easily removable in anything that isn't Windows 10. And Windows 10 has a separate solution. No reason to write them off...

Not exactly "easily" removable, no. And it's still definitely worth warning people about

They've never been bundled, no, but Origin had a promotion in its "On the House" feature a couple of months back where they gave RA2 away for free, and this was obviously heavily advertised here since it allowed people to get the game for free. That promotion ended, though.

Thank you guys for the answers, link doesn't work though (http://imgur.com/HfRdSHS), i may need to buy one on amazon

For Windows Vista/7/8.x, you LITERALLY only have to remove ONE update and then hide it when it tries to install again. If that isn't easy...

 

 

@tyayedouard - try manually going to Origin's site and searching for TUC. It has to be there, it's just that the link redirects for different localized sites are... special.
