C&C Gold for free anyone?

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/C&C Gold for free anyone?

Anyone want it for free, legal download here -> http://ccgold.ea.com/uk/

As the link is /uk/, you might find it only works in the uk?

Wasn't this posted a bit before C&C 3 was released?

I don't know, but I stumbled across it now so thought I would let you all know about it. Don't shoot the messenger!.

It sounds too good to be true...

How do you know it is legal?
Did you download and install?
Did you have any problem (such as viruses etc.)?
How do you know it is a UK link?

Please don't post links that may be dangerous for all of us when you are not sure about these ;)

it's very legal. It's the EA website!

Here's a news article relating to it:

Error 500 here... shame! :(

Yep, I posted it then, but IIRC the downloads were practically dropping out because the demand was so high, so now is probably a much better time to mention it because with luck the downloads might actually work.

EDIT: Or maybe not, if Dabs' comment is anything to go by.

How do you know it is legal?
Because I have seen the news articals and the download is from ea website.

Did you download and install?
Not yet, but its on my todo list today. However I have a friend that has downloaded and played it.

Did you have any problem (such as viruses etc.)?
Same answer as above, also its from the ea site.

How do you know it is a UK link?
Look at the link url, the /uk/ part. And I dont know if its only the UK.

I wasn't aware I needed to post an essay along with cool links, I am so sorry - I plead for your forgiveness!.

My motivation: As its a game, a good game too - Thought you lot as potential game developers would be interested.

EDIT: Also, the link does work for me (the one I posted), the file is a .zip and it's big!.

I think I did download it at the time, if anyone needs it I can stick it up on my webspace unless there is some bar on mirror the content.

Darkheart: I doubt it's legal to make it available yourself -- it's still copyrighted software, after all.
