I have buy the Command and Conquer Generals and Zero Hour (from origin) i just press to download the game and then install it. When i want to run it, origin pop upand then nothing. I have uncheck the 'enable origin in game' i have reinstall the game, repair. But i got the same problem:/. You can now buy a digital copy of all 12 Command & Conquer games from the EA Origin Store. If you own a physical copy of Generals and Zero hour, or own it digitally, skip this step. More information on which C&C games have been officially been released as freeware can be found here. Purchase the C&C Ultimate Collection via EA Origin. Origin updated today to version 9.5.12.2862 - 364867 and now CNC Generals Zero Hour will not connect local multiplayer. It worked fine up until today. I have three pc's and it happens on all three. This is not the 'origin in game' issue. Anybody else have this problem - or a fix?

There are more realistic and imaginative strategy games available, ones far more demanding of a tactical mind and others that offer up an historical challenge whether it be ancient or contemporary. But when it comes to whittling down the hours in the pursuit of pure fun, very few strategy games have been as easygoing or as enjoyable to play as the Command & Conquer series. For all its overt and senseless stereotyping, those that could stomach the all-too-current backdrop of its faux Desert Storm setting found the same enjoyment in C&C: Generals, the most recent offspring in the near decade-old series.
Picking up from where last year's episode left off, Zero Hour dishes out three mini campaigns for each of the three warring sides. Unsurprisingly. EA has again sexed up current affairs with the USA ferrying humanitarian aid and hunting weapons of mass destruction (which in this game are easy to find), the Chinese fighting terrorist armies, while those opting to command the GLA must regroup and harass their two enemies with sneak attacks and biological weapons.
The levels themselves have moved away from the predominantly Middle Eastern desert locales of the first game and include North Africa, the Mediterranean islands and Western Europe, and while the main campaigns are brief they are no less spectacular than you would expect. Spruced up with in-engine cut-scenes, the game is a feast for the senses with explosions that fill the screen, hordes of troops and tanks that pack the maps and the typical C&C soundtrack of industrial dirge that sets the mood perfectly.
Challenge Tanks
To bolster what would otherwise be a thin expansion, EA has introduced a new single-player mode called Challenge; for all intents and purposes a homage to Street Fighter that has you, as your choice of general, taking on eight other generals one at a time as you attempt to become the mother of all battlefield commanders. Each general is an expert in a particular field, with bonuses and special units available depending on their skills. For example, play as Chinese General Kwai - an expert in armoured warfare - and you can build tanks cheaply and earn powerful bonus abilities, his weakness being that he can't recruit artillery units and aircraft are expensive. Go up against US General Alexander - a specialist in base defence, whose inability to build tanks is offset by EMP missiles and cheaper Particle Cannons - and you've got yourself an interesting battle.
Helix Menace
While the new strategies work well, the Al still makes some corking blunders; units often get caught up crossing bridges, while enemy generals always seem to rely on the same routes to attack you time and time again. Saying that, your troops are more coordinated than they appeared last time around so there are improvements.
Of course this wouldn't be much of an expansion pack without some new units and EA has introduced plenty of upgrades and fresh reinforcements for each side. These include GLA combat bikes that tear across the maps at breakneck speed, Chinese Helix helicopters that can transport the massive Overlord tanks across the map and drop napalm bombs and, for the US, the Microwave tank that can reheat a chicken biryani in under five seconds - and reduce enemy buildings to rubble as a happy aside. Add in a couple of new General Abilities and new buildings, like the Chinese Internet Centre, and you have a hefty package that puts most add-ons to shame.

Download Command Conquer Zero Hour
i didnt know what was wrong until just recently, but i recently discovered that the current tables used for the command and conquer:generals gamesCommand And Conquer Free
do not work on the origin versions.
Every single table that i have tried has had the same result:it freezes my screen, i'm apparently still 'playing' as i can hear the menu interface change when i move my mouse over the buttons and pause and unpause the game.
but the screen is frozen
the scripts don't work.
and i have tried, im pretty sure about 5 different tables at this point.
can someone please either make a table that works with origin, or alternatively, tell me how i could make the tables i currently have work by modifying the files somehow.
(additional note that may or may not be relevent:after the screen freezes, the game no longer minimizes or goes into the background and cannot be closed, the only way to shut the game down is to shut down the computer and restart.
and if i try to open the table when the game is still booting up, it just outright crashes into some kind of error message)
