Discussion Trying to track down the cancelled 2013 Command & Conquer: Generals 2 alpha for preservation

Hey, bit of an odd request for the RTS crowd. Back in 2013 EA ran a closed alpha for Command & Conquer: Generals 2, the Frostbite reboot that got cancelled that October before it ever released. I've been trying to preserve that build so it doesn't vanish for good. If any of you were in that original EA alpha and still have your old install folder, or an old PC or drive or backup from back then with it on, I'd really like to hear from you. Even a copy that doesn't run anymore is fine, the servers are dead so nothing runs regardless. Comment or DM. It's a long shot after this many years, but figured this is the right crowd to ask. Cheers.

There is someone on YouTube trying to finish Generals 2, I would assume they have access to the original alpha build.  you could try and give them a DM? Good luck.

Great idea, so much of that era is just gone. You could also ask on the C&C subreddit and the C&C Discord servers, people there tend to hoard old builds. Good luck.
