Yes. It is just like Yuri's Revenge and Red Alert 2. There are several
different Solo missions (Including Skirmish) and you get Network
(L.A.N) and Online modes =D

Hi Guys

Is it possible to use one copy of the game to play on 2 PCs, like RA 2, or
do you need two copies like Yuris Revenge?

Thanks for the help.

It depends which game you're talking about.

C&C:Tiberian Dawn, C&C:Red Alert, C&C:Tiberian Sun, C&C:Red Alert 2 all come
with 2 game CDs for sharing between players.

C&C:Counterstrike, C&C:Aftermath, C&C:Firestorm, C&C:Yuri's Revenge,
C&C:Renegade, and C&C:Generals all only come with one gameplay CD. Players
must each purchase their own copy of the game.

Hi Tim

Thanks for the reply, I was hoping that C&C:Generals would be a 2 
gameplay edition.  Looks like I'll have to save a bit more - if I got 
one copy and the missus couldn't join in, there'd be big trouble!

Regards

Pete

Yeah, it is a bit of a bother. Most of the EA-haters (people who think C&C
is all downhill since EA bought out Westwood studios) see it as a
money-grabbing policy. On the other hand, the game itself takes up two CDs
so presumably to bundle two playable versions they would need to bundle 4
CDs or package 3 CDs with one CD an "install" CD and the other two "play"
CDs - a complicated and probably expensive setup. I guess Generals also
doesn't obey the traditional idiom of there only being two sides and hence,
two CDs. Nor does it have full-motion video briefings, which are so big as
to necessitate one CD for each side.

I think that Starcraft had an excellent feature.
The game was all on one cd but you could make a "spawn installation" on any
other computer if you wanted to meet them. So, with the spawn installation,
you could only join a hosted game on a LAN.
Nice idea I think...

It was a good idea but is probably unfeasable nowadays given the size of
most games. Even Warcraft III, which only takes up one CD to Generals' two,
doesn't feature the "spawn" installation.

if you want to play generals on 2 or more PC's all you need to do it get
more than one CD code from other people and use that when installing the
game, also you need to find the latest no CD patch for the game to actually
work as you cant copy the game onto another CD!!
