Hello everyone! For those wondering about using C&C Remasters assets on OpenRA mods or standalone projects, CCHyper, Tore and pchote (a.k.a. Sleipnir), as members of the Community Council, has been trying to clarify this matter recently with the C&C Remastered Collection development team. Here's what he has to say about it:
So, I guess that says all. CCHyper has stickied it in Assembly Armada's and, as relevant news, we are replicating it to the rest of the internet. For those who want an OpenRA using Remastered assets, you need to own the game and OpenRA would need to extract them straight from your C&C: Remastered Collection Steam or Origin installation. And that's it.

Hey everyone, so there has been people asking about the C&C Remasters assets and using them in their open source standalone mods, as well as other sectors of the community asking questions along those lines (CNCNet, OpenRA etc).
The Community Council for the C&C Remasters have been discussing this topic with EA closely and EA have come up with a statement we can share with the community based on these questions;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We (The Community Council) have discussed with EA directly the topic of using the C&C Remastered assets in community projects. EA reserves all rights to the C&C Remastered assets, but they do not object to community projects using the assets under the framework of the current Remastered Collection modding policy.
This means that in order to use the assets from the Remastered Collection these requirements must be met;
- The user must have purchased the C&C Remastered Collection and have it installed through Steam or Origin.
- The community project must be clear that it is a fanmade project and unaffiliated with EA.
- The community project can in no way commercialize the usage of the assets.
- The community project cannot redistribute the Remastered assets.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I, or any other member of the C&C Remasters Community Council will not be able to answer any more questions on this topic, but we hope this provides everyone with a clear understanding and correct use of the C&C Remasters assets.
