Anyone know if this upscales to HD and up or if there is a mod?

I've played C&C 3 / Kane's Wrath in 4k, looks great considering it was released 10 years ago!

Graphics drivers will upscale anything, I guess you mean render in HD.
This is a pack covering a fifteen years worth of games, from the original DOS C&C to the 2010 Tiberian Twilight. It was a popular series though, so there are various adaptations and I'd be pretty confident you could get most of them to run at 1024x768 or above.

There's a very good and stable one for Generals called Shockwave which has new units, structures and missions. China did indeed grow larger
No, it's for Origin. Would be helpful if that was in the title.
'This' contains 17 games so you'll have to be more specific, but as they're PC games most of them ran in HD even at time of release, and as someone else pointed out anything will upscale to HD (if you're looking at something fullscreen on a HD screen it's in HD, whether it was recorded/rendered at that resolution is another question), and as the series is over 20 years old now I'm sure there are hundreds of mods out there.
Basically, there is nothing in this collection that you won't be able to play on a modern system with anything up to Windows 10. Some of them will require you to use fan-made patches though, and some of them are available for free (legally) with patches already applied, so that might be a better solution. Also multiplayer is still possible for each game but will require workarounds/custom server solutions in most, if not all, cases.

EA Origin codes. You can buy some the C&C games individually on Steam (C&C 3 / C&C 4 / Red Alert 3) but they're never discounted this heavily.

Loved every one apart from Renegade and C&C4 - tiberium twilight (wtf did they do to C&C!!)
Really wish they had developed and released Generals 2 :disappointed:

Be careful. The game pre-generals most likely will not work properly on your computer if it is Windows 10. There are fan patches out there to fix the issues but they are a pain to track down the specific ones you need.

My favourite games series.
Still remember walking into the Virgin Megastore in Oxford Circus when I was a kid and getting my dad to buy me Red Alert. Already had C&C Gold.
Red Alert 2 was the best out of all of them. Completed it for both sides at least 5 times.
Used to play semi competitively online while WOL (Westwood Online) was still up for a clan called Om3rta. I joined the online party pretty late though (I was at school :smile:) and WOL shut down soon after. XWIS then made a server and I was part of the 'Strike Team' which meant reviewing reviews and banning players that were clearly cheating. It's still up but I havent played in a long long time.
Ahhhh memories!

Does anyone else get the error "game detected mismatch" when playing zero hour over LAN multiplayer?
