I’m not well versed in C&C, but it’s always good to see more games open sourced.

    its odd that they open sourced Generals and the first CNC and Red Alert, but nothing in between.

    CNC3 was my favorite, and I’ll die on that hill . but RA2 was obivously the fan favorite, and Tiberian Sun had probably the best atmosphere

      Sometimes licenses get in the way, it’s possible they bought an engine or tech from a 3rd party and don’t have the legal standing (or don’t know if they do or not) to release the source.

        someone else here suggested that the source code for TS/RA2 was lost. which wouldnt surprise me.

        These are games that were made when and before the Zoomers were being born. they are ancient by most people’s standards.

          Fallout source is gone too. There was just no reliable way to store source code back then, a lot of times it was just one of the developers that had it sitting in a desk drawer.

          If it’s new enough, maybe a burnt CD.

            still susceptible to disc rot
