Commando and Conquer Gold [Full][D-Link]

Commando and Conquer Gold (fullversion)

Gameplay

Single-player

Command & Conquer features two story-driven single-player campaigns which together consist of a total of 50 missions.The player is required to complete about 15 missions as either GDI or Nod to end a single-player campaign successfully, however the missions can differ depending on the route of conquest the player takes throughout the campaign, which allows for a higher replay value with each playthrough. Each of the mission briefings in the single-player campaigns is presented in the form of a full-motion video which features live actors, with the two campaigns together having over 60 minutes worth of FMV material.Campaign mission objectives range from complete destruction of enemy forces to selective destruction, special operations or objective defense. Some of the missions of C&C first innovated various twists to the standard RTS single-player formula such as limited or no base building, and mission-specific rewards for goal completion. A common bonus reward for the GDI faction for example is the availability of the "Airstrike" power after the destruction of all SAM sites on the map.

Multiplayer

The original MS-DOS release features multiplayer with up to four players, which was a rarity at the time,and supports play over network, null modem and modem. Multiplayer over an internet connection was added in th

e Gold Edition/Windows 95 Edition release of Command & Conquer, which sports several other improvements over the original DOS version.

As a result of changes to the IPX protocol libraries for the Windows XP and Windows 2000 environments, however, network play through this method has been rendered unavailable, disabling LAN play except for matches that are played over parallel or serial link. From the time that the original Westwood Studios multiplayer server was taken down, an unofficial one has been taking over its functions.

An alternative version of the thipx32.dll patch is also available that allows LAN play on newer versions of windows by using UDP protocols, rather than the IPX protocol.
