    Great find!

    I highly recommend picking up the Command & Conquer collections (especially #3 w/xpack) :)

    Quick question: is the $5 price only for the digital download versions of these games, or can I get a physical copy for $5 if I wanted to?

    EDIT: Nevermind, it seems that it's only for digital download. Physical copy is still $20 for Bad Company 2.

    Um. There were three, just fyi.



    Myself, I picked up 'Nam for BC2. I love the maps and faster gameplay, but I wish there was a wider selection of weapons.

    Just bought Command and Conquer 4. DON'T Buy it!!! Got nothing but errors. The game wouldn't even start. Tried it on two different computers...same errors. Did a forum search, and found out the game is full of bugs.

    I bought a physical copy a few months ago and while it had no errors, I didn't really like it. I think that the Generals series was much better (albeit with slightly outdated graphics and it only maxes at 1024*768...)
