What does /v/ think about Red Alert 2 ?
>>341260317
love it
>>341260317
Greatest game of all time and I wish I was better at it.
it was so amazing back in the day. just fun, never taking itself seriously at all, but never going full meme like number 3, god that was awful
i loved it but found GDI vs NOD more enjoyable than Murrica vs Soviets
>>341262364
RA3 also had the abilities straight outta CoH, the abilities don't work in game like RA
>>341260317
Maybe not my favorite game, but certainly in the top 5, maybe even top 3.MO3.0 is objectively better version of the game for multiplayer
TIME IS RUNNING OUT
Did somebody fucking say Red Alert 2

You mean generals?
>>341263104
I don't remember much about Generals, but it sure didn't have 'press button to destroy half of enemy base' abilities that weren't just super weapons. Or did it?
I loved it when RTS games weren't made solely for asperglords, now everything is ultra complicated just to get aspergers ridden retards entertained, micromanaging and customizing and more retarded gargabe.
Just give me a simple and balanced game like AoE 2, R A 2 and many others of the time, the closest thing we have now is a retarded pixel rts game.
>>341263315
Mechanically yes, not sure about the balance: I don't really remember RA3

>Yuri's Revenge amps the retardation up by several factors, a lot of missions give you full arsenals to dick around with for maximum shits and giggles
The real question is, was it better than Tiberian Sun?
Soundtrack is pretty good.
HOW 'BOUT SOME ACTION
RA2 was babby's first RTS for me. I got it second hand and didn't have the Russian campaign disc, which really disappointed me.
>>341263315
It did have both unstoppable, but relativity weak ones like the Chinese artillery, and stoppable ones like the MOAB that were capable of wiping out armies.
I miss real time strategies. Most I got right now is homeworld remastered. New patch made formations work which gave me a boner.
>>341264230
Kane should have executed the man responsible for placing his nod patch on his jacket the wrong way.
>>341263614
no, she's mine
>>341264230
Yes it was better than Tiberian Sun.
I would suck a penis for a RA2 remake.
fav rts game
i wish cnc net was more popular
great game but i suck at online multiplayer or people are so good.
i like playing single player skirmish
>tfw EA destroy this franchise
>>341266470
same deal as q3a
people have been playing it for 15 years and became gods among men
hows the single player campaign is it worth it or is it popular for multiplayer?
best song from the soundtrack
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7Vu8_EQVXc
>>341260317
It's still unbelievable there was a time before it went full "funny xD".
I can't even remember the last good C&C...
>>341266674
Single player is fucking amazing. No one bothers with multiplayer anymore.
>>341260317
>>341261382
i only played red alert 3
how did 2 improve the game?

Red Alert 2 had:
Better art design
Better faction design
Better Resource management (two sources of currency, gold and gems, both found in fields, unlike the singular nodes of RA3)
Less emphasis on individual unit abilities (so, a greater emphasis on the macro)
Honestly, RA3 was not a bad game. I fully hold that CnC4 is the only CnC game that could be called 'bad'. But it wasn't the successor that people wanted, for a few reasons. People also forget that the silly cheesiness of the early 2000s doesn't hold the same charm when applied to a modern game.
>>341267075
>i only played red alert 3
just get the fuck out of here and get a copy of red alert goddamn 2. and 1 while you're at it
>>341267046
ok i will download it. i really love rts games but haven't really played anything except warcraft 3 and stacraft broodwar i really want to play starcraft broodwar campaign but only have a pirated copy that can play custom games. i can play on private servers like iccup and fish server too though

>>341260317
the only RTS game I REALLY fell in love with
my dad would play C&C95 and red alert, and I loved watching, but I was too young to play well at all
I was about 11 when RA2 came out, and it was amazing
even the expansion was cool, although the yuri faction was OP as fuck
>>341262752
GENTLEMEN, IT'S A NUCLEAR DEVICE
last 2d rts and therefore last good rts
>>341262530
CoH abilities are way different than RA3 abilities. RA3 abilities were just buttons you used to shit on someone. In CoH only a few abilities were like that, but those were telegraphed with big red smoke making them only useful on fortifications. Also CoH introduced munitions to limit their use. And those were just a few abilities. Most were unique units or a boost ability
>>341267818
That siren song is to make you use origin
>>341268804
The thing is, while CoH abilities could potentially change the tide of the battle and they were indeed limited by the Munitions resource, RA3 had essentially every ability being free that you could do some serious sheningans with, like vaccuuming all enemy units/harvesters in space, destroying half of enemy base with the orbital drop, the time bomb with fuckhuge AoE etc.
Only ability in CoH relatively close is the V1 Rocket
>play RA3 on high graphics
>it's completely impossible to tell what's going on in naval battles because the waves are so detailed and numerous
>>341264230
No. They were equal.
Really RA2 had a silly Cold war 60-80's vibe and was fun, TS had a depressing and hopeless alien atmosphere with somewhat complex gameplay.
They were both entertaining as fuck and few RTS can best them even today.
i had a dream that EA did a remaster and it was good and everyone started liking EA again

Neither did RA3, Tiberium Wars or Generals
>>341266640
probably. i play 10 years or more but i never had friends to LAN or had online connection.
always played at normal settings. its fun game to fuck enemy base
>>341269315
if they did remaster it would be 3d graphics therefore shit

Fuck
>>341260317
Loved RA but hated RA2. I don't get how it could be a downgrade in so many ways despite being a newer game.
I used to built fuckton of these instead of subs.
>>341266947
really good, personal favourite is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4Z2mG9XFpw though
>>341260317
TibSun is better
>>341260317
The most fun RTS ever made
>RTS games will never be more than APM simulators again
i thoroughly enjoyed the shit out of RA3+Uprising/Shock Therapy
despite owning the full CNC First Decade i can't bring myself to enjoy anything pre-Generals because it's just so awfully dated. not even Deus Ex dated, but Starcraft dated.
what the fuck do i even do with my life rtsfriends

3 had problems but everyone gives it way too much shit
>>341272751
nobody here but us trees
>>341268725
except RA2 was voxel-based, and therefore 3D
i agree though it's the best out there
![20130221200001[2].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/d97K764.jpg "20130221200001[2].jpg")
Like everyone else I loved soviet, but these guys man.
>>341272370
Did they start dropping blue bombs? I haven't played in a long time but I remember 3 star guys having different animations/attack colors.
Great but horribly unbalanced game.
>>341260317
One of the all time greats desu
>>341260317
it's fucking incredible.
>>341272085
i never said pre-generals RTS was shit. i said i can't get into it because i am literally incapable of enjoying the looks.
yes, this tardiness all comes down to 'mah graphecs". while i can absolutely believe that the gameplay is fun, navigating it isn't.
i think it's just old CNC and starcraft, though. advance wars and that kinda shit is still hella fun.
plus, RA3 was fun.
buahahaha
>>341273624
did you try ra2 or only tried ra1, tiberian sun, first c&c? Because RA2 looks way better than those.
Never played it, looks like some obsolete RTS with clunky controls/UI and simple game mechanics.
>>341273930
(you)
>>341273234
They dropped blue bombs alright, blue plasma bombs. My rocketeer spam did nothing.
>>341273927
tibsun and ra 2 are nearly identical on a tech level. They are the 2nd gen games of the series.
>>341273624
let it be bait
>>341274104
Sorry that I don't have the nostalgia googles like everyone else.
every fucking thread
>>341269495
the pain
>>341272574
3 was a solid game, gets way too much hate. having the whole campaign be co-op was a great idea
it is bullshit how uprising didn't have any multiplayer though.
>>341274201
sure, but ra2 still looks the best among them. I played ra2 when it came out and I remember it blowing my mind. Tiberian or the ones before that didn't.
I even think it looks better than aoe2.
>>341260317
Nice, mind controlhad some unconventional usages
>>341273624
>while i can absolutely believe that the gameplay is fun, navigating it isn't.
I can believe this from some old games, but from the C&C series? Seriously? the UI hasn't change a lot
>>341260317
I really like it. I hope they make a new one just like it but with hardware instead of software graffix.

RA1, played it a long time ago, and the browser (i think?) version of RA1. might've been called RA online or something. last touched that some years ago to try doing online with some internet dudes.
also played tiberium sun for a while. fun game, i'll say that for it, but RA was better. didn't give it much time.
played Generals+ZH to death all through the campaigns and in a whole bunch of 1v1s/2v2s/3v3s with friends for absolutely years.
CNC3 is soulless, CNC4 isn't real.
RA3 threw so much shit under the bus to be fun, but at least it was honest fun. still wish they'd kept more things from the beta/concepts because watching them gradually reveal more sad japanese tech was pretty hard, but what can you do. Uprising made a better effort at fun by going fucking mental and making everything imba to the point of utter nonsense.
i'll give RA2 another chance tomorrow if i can get it working. last time i tried installing generals off the disc it was 300% broken, so an older game is probably going to be even more fucked. will look for a working torrent perhaps.

I fucking miss it so bad. I'd give up Steam and the easy game installations if I could get back quality installers like that again.
All the passion and geekiness in games is gone. I know I sound like a REEEEE neck beard, but honestly that's what it used to be about. You WERE a geeky neck beard if you played this shit back then. And it was fucking awesome to have. Now it's gone and the awesome nerd developers are replaced with diversity, aka people who had no interest in it to begin with and are just looking for a job. Fuck man. If there's an afterlife, may it be my entire childhood over again, with no transition of time just stuck in the 90s era forever.

What was the best map in YR and why is itBay of Pigs?
>>341281270
Bay of Pigs a best, set up two snipers next to the lighthouses and watch enemy infantry get decimated.
>>341281270
I used it as a test map back when I still used to mod the game
>>341260317
More like brown alert
>>341282525
>>341266497
They only really destroyed it with C&C4. The others were amazing or passable.
>>341280425
I'd play for hours, just bombing enemy slave miners, sending in a chopper to pick them up and take them back to base. After getting 200 or so of them, pack them up into choppers and drop them into the center of the enemy base for a slave revolt.
Never succeeded. Needed more slaves.
