Main features of CnCNet v2 are:
- Faster speeds

Users of the old CnCNet will have to disable their clients as the old CnCNet client are no longer in use and will not update to the latest version!
To play on CnCNet please read the setup guide, as CnCNet v2 is still in beta some problems may occur, you will have to update your files regularly.
To find players join the new CnCNet IRC; #cncnet at irc.freenode.net Visit our forums and website for the latest info!
What is CnCNet
CnCNet is an open source unofficial (as in not supported by EA) service created by Command & Conquer fans. This service allows you to play Command & Conquer, Red Alert and Tiberian Sun online through the network functions of the games.
CnCNet allows you to play "network" games over the Internet. CnCNet uses peer to peer (p2p) technology to connect games on CnCNet together. For games to be smooth we recommend that you play with players on your own continent, but if you don't mind some lag a European player can play with a US player. But try to avoid extremes as a Canadian player playing with someone from New Zealand, because that will have extreme lag! So basically the closer the players are the better.

OpenRA |
|
| September 03, 2010, 07:24:42 AM by Revolutionary | 0 comments | Write Comment |
A new version of OpenRA have been released! There are versions for Windows, Mac OS and Linux.
OpenRA is an Open Source reimplementation of Command & Conquer: Red Alert.
We've tried to closely follow the spirit of the original game, while modernizing the interface
and making use of today's powerful graphics processors. Our emphasis is on the multiplayer
experience, but we might support a single-player campaign at some point, too.
Keep in mind that Open RA is in the early alpha stages and nowhere from being finished and lacks singleplayer.
It does show a lot of potential and possibly one day we might see other games being based on this open source game engine.
A discussion was started on the forum Here prior to this post.

On August 31st 1995, C&C was released. The start of one of the worlds most "successful" RTS franchises. C&C1 from all those years ago is still played despite its flaws and limits it's an awesome game! I wonder if the developers even expected it last as long as it already has. I think if someone tells them that C&C1 is still played today they would get a shock! Except for Joe Kucan, he is immune!
Happy birthday Command & Conquer!
