Whoever pushed for this at EA - my deepest respect is with you!
Original C&C was rewritten from scratch long ago, but open source version of Zero Hour is such an amazing gift.
PS: if you want to send respects to the person who did it you can do it on Linkedin:

- pizzathyme 2y agoAgreed. Internally at companies like this, it's extremely difficult to get something like this approved. This is the result of a lot of meetings, a lot of "no"'s, a lot of legal approvals.
- SXX 2y agoLet's be honest I can't view this anything other than miracle that was delivered to us by some very dedicated people who likely pushed this for years. I hope there will be more people and companies within industry making similar moves. It's will both increase their sales as well as allow fans to keep their favorite games alive.
- jacooper 2y agoFinally somebody can fix the mismatch errors in the game and make it actually playable again!

- SXX 2y agoSorry for not mentioning you initially and thank you Sir for making it happen! I obviously love classical RTS and playing them since original C&C, but there are special place in my heart for Generals exactly because ot was different game. And for me as game developer seeing this game in a sad state make me sad. I feel it does have as much potential as AoE2 and now more people can try to bring new life to it.
- CCHyper 2y agoNothing to be sorry about, the real news is the source code release itself :D That's awesome to hear. The Generals and Zero Hour community is coming together like never before right now, it's amazing to see that these games are about to get a new lease of life!
- IntelMiner 2y agoCan you shed any light on the rumors about TS/RA2's code being MIA? (Or if you can't shed any light. Can you confirm "I can't talk about that")
