Yet another excuse for people to hoist Jolly Roger and pillage.

Thanks largely to the efforts of our loyal fans whom continue to sustain and grow the Command & Conquer community, Command & Conquer has become a legendary franchise and it’s time to celebrate its birth once again.In order to give back to the fans for over 12 years of devotion we are putting together a 12th Anniversary celebration during the month of September. However, as any Command & Conquer fan knows, the true party starts today, August 31st, which marks 12 years since Command & Conquer Gold launched way back in 1995.

To kick the celebration off, today we have a special surprise which we are certain new and old Command & Conquer fans will enjoy. We are providing the original Command & Conquer Gold as a free download, compatible for Windows XP! This is the same version included with the collectors pack Command & Conquer: The First Decade, and is now available for you to download for free!

Get it while it's hot, boys! And I think we might see more C&C-games get released for free in September.

Hah, I imagine those poor little propellers roaring at a 6 digit RPM to keep the fat bastard plane off the ground

Quote from Warby

i think this "duke nukem forever ish" development of team fortress 2 will pay off ... this is FUCKING GREAT !

Indeed, The Orange Box is marked with big red letters on my purchaselist

Took a stroll through this map .. well, that was easier said than done. I don't know what you've done, but this map trashes my performance like no other. Staggering through the map at low framerate at any given place made me wonder if there's something wrong with my drivers or graphics-card. So I loaded my old trusty dusty Bounce map and to my discovery it's no problem there. Map-specific problem I thought, but then I turned off HDR... ok, playing this map, and you have HDR enabled, is not recommended if you want to have a playable experience in the heat of battle!

Right, so I put "mat_wireframe 3" on , and suddenly I see what's really going on behind the scenes. Poor optimisation! Take a few moments and read up on HINTs and the great new addition to Source: AREAPORTALS! The new OCCLUDER might be of interest too.

Some wireframe pictures to show what I mean :

If there were HINT brushes and AREAPORTALS in between, you would probably have around just half of the stuff rendered.

"Mat_luxels 1" is also a fine debug command, since it draws the lightmap density grid on every brush and displacement. And from this angle with ze budget on :

And last of all, it's no fun when you can throw props outside map or into unreachable places :

Please close off the roofs with CLIP-brushes. You don't want players who are dolts to throw away all the props you can use as a weapon :

That's all for now.

Me? Playing CS? BLASPHEMY!

The download link ran away

Meet The Soldier : http://www.gametrailers.com/player/23854.html

HD Video on Steam : http://www.steampowered.com/v/index.php ... =985&cc=CA

It'll be on Steam soon, but man do they have too much time on their hands

Since the videos use the Source engine entirelly, it gives away new features the engine recieves for Episode 2.

And nuclear powered anything, not thinking about the hazards or side-effects. "How was your trip from London? And why are you bald?"

Just hope the players have set their anistropic filtering to maximum

awesome man, thanks.. only thing is just add the white on the face becuase that really distinguishes who spawn is. Then it will be perfect

Just like this:

Just popped into my head when I saw this : http://www.shatteredminds.net/skit/stalkerpipes.jpg

PLUS I have a chronic mental disease, caused by older games that disliked too much polygons, so I tend to be like "oh my god it's over 3 digits of tris, I'm gonna kill myself"

Just quickly whipped this out after playing some game with a lot of acronyms (STALKER). I think I should just give away crap like this since I can't make any decent textures (as in: I don't even try).

Will drawings of half naked chicks ever got old? Hell no.
