There are two schools of thought about how to handle the single-player component of an RTS. Some developers believe the campaign should be a sort of training ground for multiplayer, while others believe that single-player is a completely separate story-based experience. The original Command & Conquer games practically originated the latter school of thought with campaigns that were as much "interactive movies" (to use a dubious and now discredited term) as they were strategic challenges. Command & Conquer 3, the latest edition in the series, is in many ways a throwback to an older form of RTS gameplay, not least in the way it structured its campaign like older games in the series. Kane's Wrath, the new expansion pack for C&C3, also follows this model and actually goes it one better, creating a sort of "fan fiction" storyline that fills in plot holes in earlier campaigns.
Electronic Arts has today released the Command & Conquer: The Ultimate Edition retail package, offering incredible value from the best-selling real-time strategy (RTS) franchise of all time. Rule all three Command & Conquer universes and more with this incredible value package, which includes seventeen complete videogames.

PC Games shows how C&C evolved from C&C 1 to Generals 2. Check out the screenshots.
Never played generals but I have played c&c 3 and red alert 2 and 3. Is it anything like those?
They need to re release the older ones with hd graphics and compatible with smartphones and tablets. Would love to replay the older ones from 90's and early early 2000's with touchscreen controls.
