Command & Conquer Remastered Collection’s first patch eases up Hard Mode and adds private lobbiesEase up, commander
Ease up, commander
According to RPS’sCommand & Conquer Remastered Collectionreview, the revitalized classic RTS is “both precisely as good and exactly as dated as it’s supposed to be.” Even so, Petroglyph have found a few places to improve and have released the first round of bug fixes and additions. They’ve eased up on Hard Mode and have added private game lobbies, among other fixes.

Petroglyph say they’ve also adjusted the difficulty balance in Hard Mode for Tiberian Dawn. “We’ve effectively split the difference between Normal Mode and the launch version Hard mode,” they say. “If you happened to already beat missions on Hard mode (Or somehow received the Achievement), then wear that with a badge of honor.”
Even before this first update, C&C Remastered struck the right balance between modern convenience and classic authenticity. “Rather than feeling inauthentic, these small updates seem entirely at home, and so obviously correct that you’ll start to question your own memory. Surely build queues were always in Command & Conquer?” Steve Hogarty says in hisCommand & Conquer Remastered Collection review. “It’s as close to a perfect restoration as you’ll get, and the treatment these genre-defining games deserve.”
