Tiberian Sun is a freeware!

Finally, you can all get Tiberian Sun for free :

Today is a very special day, and for some of us, we can call it an early Valentines, even though the timing is more coincidental than intentional, hehe. I’ve orchestrated the release of Tiberian Sun & Firestorm as FREEWARE, and yes, thanks to XWIS, you can even still play them online. Not only this, but I’ve reignited the freeware downloads of Red Alert 1 and Tiberian Dawn, and everything is on one sweet easy to read page fittingly called:

http://www.commandandconquer.com/classic

TS/FS download is 1.2 GB
TD GDI/NOD ISO’s are about 600MB each
RA1 Allied/Soviet ISO’s are about 520MB each

I kindly ask you please not replicate these files on your site and simply direct people to the web page above. It has all the links, install directions, and everything in one generous place. Feel free to archive it on your sites because these have been released as freeware permanently!

I’m certainly excited, I hope you are well, as I said on the page as well, huge thanks to Olaf, Scorpio, Nyerguds, and Chickendippers, each with your own contributions has helped make this possible. Hopefully, everyone can have a smooth run with them!

Every Day is Community Day, 31 days till C&C 4 launches, woot! Happy Friday!

Damn! If I knew they were going to make it free, I wouldn't have bought it 10 years ago!

But seriously, that's pretty cool.

Code:

TO PLAY TIBERIAN SUN ONLINE:
1. Please make sure the "EA Games" folder is placed in your C:\Program Files directory
2. Double-click "tibsun_regadd". You will get a successful registry update message.
3. In the "Internet" folder, double-click the "registerWOL.exe" batch file
   -this will correct your DLL files, click the successful message twice
***If you do not complete the above steps exactly, you will likely get a crash error or "missing online library" error
4. Click "Play Tiberian Sun" shortcut or Game.exe to boot the game up
5. At the Main Menu click Internet. After a series of messages you will be at the username creation screen.
6. CRITICAL - create any username and create a password that MUST BE 8 characters in length
        -You do not need to click "new account"
7. Select your country location and desired server, then hit OK
8. You should be taken to the main online lobby where you can join/create games if users are online
