      Best mod I’ve ever played, c&c reloaded
      It combines red alert 2 and tiberium sun units and maps and allows you to play them against each other.
      The developer has done a really good job with this mod, it’s really good fun

    It's not the graphics that make a game great, it's the interaction. Same is true for a lot of classic 8-bit games. The concept is lost on a lot of developers.

      Your will never find another game where the Chronosphere can be used to murder infantries, move ships to land, tanks to ocean to destroy them. This will never happen because developers nowadays will over emphasize “game balance”.

    EA really screwed up when they ran Westwood Studios into the ground. It was obvious the creators of Red Alert 3 had no idea how to create a RTS game. They made 80% of the vehicles Amphibious in RA3, so there was no longer a need for land-only units. The amphibious tanks could cross all terrain so that also made aircraft redundant. RA2 + Yuri's Revenge were the last good C&C games ever made. While C&C 3 and Kane's Wrath were ok, they still weren't on the same level as RA2 gameplay.

I have the original CD version and the digital version through origin and when I try to play the origin version the game is stuck at a certain resolution, the game is slow and sluggish even if I turn the game speed up and I cant even tab out or the game crashes on me!

    I really miss when games were made like these were in the past. Studios like Westwood which gave us better RTS then anything made in the past 10 years. Hoping that Stormgate gives us FINALLY a new RTS to play. Why exactly is it that Red alert 2 is still one of the best RTS to play even though it is so old. Sucks that Supreme commander 2 failed but at least one was fun.

    • @OpiatesAndTits
      @OpiatesAndTits 6 місяців тому

    i think in few years time, RA2 is gonna make a big comeback not like the RA3 one tho. RA2 and YR has a great potential for pvp tournament as well. Maybe, what the devs need is a revamp of the game like the graphics and controls stuffs. For example for group pvp, instead of playing a single base with too many going around, maybe the devs can do instead is one base for three or more players but separate control for the army, navy and airforce and intel something like that

  • @GDOutOfContextGD
    @GDOutOfContextGD Рік тому +6

    It seems like you would have had an easier transition to navy if you had a critical mass of Robot tanks. Even versus undersea Dophins, your own Dophins could hit them first making the enemy Dophins targetable by the Robot tank. I know money wasn't an issue for you, but you probably could have achieved naval stability faster that way.

    This will be different if you play it like an actual commander. You know you just dont pile up troops and do dog fights and win by just number. If you have a fleet, air troops and others, you could divide it and command it individually according to a strategy not to fight like an advanced AI. Attack using air force team then the ships then there is a retaliation group, etc something like that.

    I'm still playing Red Alert 3 Upheaval 2, almost every day, but Red Alert 2 has the advantage of random generation of maps, and the ore yards. Anyway playing a strategic game as a an arcade with no strategy at all is really ridiculous.

    Is this using an upgraded difficulty skirmish enemies computer mod?

    I turned 56 on the 3rd of this month. I used to play Red Alert after I saw chinese-looking students playing it in 1997. I got kooked to it and was taking me whole day and overnight playing the different RA editions. I still want to play it and also the Age of Empire game, but I don't.

    Where did you download the map with the rather crazy difficulty level that the normal game gives this map but without this difficulty?

      You can download and play any of my maps, because I always upload a download link at the description. For the AI difficulty, here I use extra hard AI mod. The difficulty dosent come from the map

    They need to hurry the fuck up and REMASTER or REMAKE RA2... this master piece in 2023 graphics or similar style as RA1 or Remaster Firestorm with updated graphics and fixed bugs.. it would be a wet dream.. but EA is trash.. so 1/10 expectations..

      They sure do. I recently bought the remaster for RA1 on steam, but have been fiending for the remaster for THIS game. Can hardly wait. EA hurry the F***K up!!!

      I would be WAYYYY more excited for a remastering of this game than I was for the remastering of the original game (although the original was still good too)
