That’s most of the series for $10. Pretty sweet deal. All that’s missing is CC2, Red Alert 2, and Generals (does renegade count?).
Oh, and C&C4

There is no C&C4

All that’s missing is CC2, Red Alert 2...

C&C2 and both its expansions are part of the Command & Conquer Remastered Collection.
It's a little complicated. Red Alert (1) is Command & Conquer 2.
AFAIK there is no game N°2 in the Tiberium timeline.

For most people, C&C2 = Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun (August 1999)

Ah yes, it's only missing all the good games, sweet deal :)

But I should note that C&C1/RA1/Tiberium Sun are released as freeware for quite some time.

Is Command & Conquer Remastered Collection the same game but remastered? I'm confused with all the different C&C games on steam, what are the differences?

Comment has been collapsed.

Well, the collection is a remaster of both the original Command & Conquer and Command & Conquer: Red Alert, it also includes the following expansions:

  • Command and Conquer: Tiberian Dawn
  • Command and Conquer: The Covert Operations
  • Red Alert: Counterstrike
  • Red Alert: The Aftermath

Thanks! So Red Alert 3 is a completely different game and I assume the second game isn't even on steam?

Sadly RA2 is not available on steam.

It is on Origin still ...

Command and Conquer the First Decade Have all the original games up to Generals Zero hour ... it used to go on sale on Amazon for less then 10$ ... but that was ages ago.

Hopes are maybe they Remaster Red Alert 2 and Generals ... The C&C Remastered was pretty nice overall after some patches .

If u plan on playing RA2 via Origin i STRONGLY recommend using CnCNet which is fan made patch that make the game actually work on modern platforms :)

Got it, thanks. So are Kane's Wrath and Tiberium Wars worth it? Because I'm even more lost as to where in the C&C universe those games fit.

There are three separate series/settings for Command & Conquer, not including any expansions (all of which should theoretically indicate their associated base game in their full name; Eg, Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath for the expansion to C&C3).

One is the core GDI/Nod C&C continuity, based in the original C&C (Tiberian Dawn), Tiberian Sun, and C&C3:Tiberium Wars.
(Edit: And C&C4:Tiberian Twilight. But we try to avoid talking about that game [see below posts]. Shh.)

One is the Red Alert universe, which starts off with Einstein travelling back in time to murder Hitler, creating an alternate reality history (but still based on the GDI/Nod setting, just an alternate version of it). There are also three base Red Alert games (simply labeled as Red Alert, Red Alert 2, and Red Alert 3).

Finally, there's the stand-alone Generals continuity, which is based more on real world geopolitical factions (eg, USA and China).


If you prefer your military RTS games to be slightly campy but mostly grounded, the original series is better.
If you prefer your military RTS games to be chock-full of mad science and off-the-wall campy absurdity, then Red Alert's your thing.
If you want your RTS game to be more based in satire and national stereotyping, but otherwise mostly serious, consider Generals.

Once you figure out what series you want to play, you can just work out which expansions tie to which games.


While Red Alert is generally considered the more popular setting of the three (Tim Curry's over-the-top voice acting in the series is probably at least partially to credit for that), there's a lot of contention even to the present day as to which one is the better setting. If you can juggle the multiple narratives, you can definitely do them in order of release, as well (with the first Red Alert game not being too different technically from the first C&C game, and C&C3:Tiberium Wars not being too technically different from preceding release Red Alert 2, it'd definitely be hard to jump back from the end of one series to the start of another).


One additional consideration is that, as I recall, Red Alert 2 has some co-op features, and Red Alert 3's campaign can even be played fully in co-op.

Another consideration is that the original games (many of which are officially listed as freeware) weren't super stable even back in the day, so the remastered collection isn't a bad start (and can even give you a good impression of which of the two core settings you might prefer to continue with).

Thanks a ton for all the info! Just one more question, are they noob friendly? In case they aren't, which game of the genre (RTS) would you recommend to learn?

What about Tiberius twilight?

Are we accepting that that was an actual thing, now, though? :P

As of October 12, 2021, Tiberian Twilight was pulled from Steam. It was known to be one of the worst-rated games on the platform (-CnC Fandom)

When [the game's boring units are] placed together with a lackluster campaign and a persistent online progression system that means you won't be able to see the game's best units until you've invested way more time into the game than it deserves, Tiberian Twilight feels like it was designed to kill interest in the Command & Conquer franchise. (-GiantBomb)

I can't say I ever played the game (or felt inclined to), but from what I heard about it, it's not one I'd ever recommend to anyone, with it puportedly being a poorly made multiplayer focused title with a half-developed campaign tacked on, that apparently inexplicably required you to play the campaign to unlock units for multiplayer.

(Note that most critic reviewers rated the game at 6~7/10, while most community review sites [eg, Google, IMDB, etc] consistently rated the game at 4/10, suggesting brand name value inflation from critics in their reviews. GameRant even gives the game a 3/10, though it's a solitary outlier in that regard.. at least, an outlier with the exception of Steam reviews, which held to an even lower rating of 17~18% before the game was pulled from Steam.)

Also, while there seems to be a patch to remove the always online element of the game, I believe it required online connection for first activation, so even if you could manage to find a Steam key for it now, you perhaps still wouldn't be able to play it. Maybe a game to dig up through a torrent site, if one is super inclined to finish the Tiberium series.

Though, again, not sure it's worth the effort. :S

But yes, technically one I overlooked. I'll begrugingly edit it into the original post, for accuracy's sake. :'P
And then go back to pretending Tiberian Twilight doesn't exist. :P

(Do let us know if you've got a different viewpoint on that game, though.)

Is anyone able to buy the game directly from EA website or EA app? There is no buy button for me: https://www.ea.com/games/command-and-conquer/command-and-conquer-red-alert-3
(and don't ask why EA app over Steam, that's my concern)

Thank you for your reply. It's odd since GG.deals detects that the game is on sale, but I can't find it, no matter which country I pick in my VPN: https://gg.deals/game/command-conquer-red-alert-3/

Only xbox and PS links. I checked in the app, and only uprising is listed when you search for "red alert" (And Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-reckoning, for whatever reason)
