Red Alert was my main poo poo growing up, hours long skirmishes owned. I also enjoyed RA2 but 3 signaled the descent into APM clickfests that made me a sad panda, despite the actual story itself being true to form. I mean no one can complain that Mecha Tengu didn't own hard, I just wish it wasn't an APM race to get them out in 20 seconds.

Revitalized posted:Also, I loved manipulating CNC1 enemy AI by just building a maze of concrete walls. When I was a child I used to build bases that were kind of realistic-ish. Little gate sections and poo poo. I was playing Red Alert again as an adult, and realized that in fact the true path to victory is a maze of concrete walls in front of a Tesla coil.

I spent untold hours playing RA 2 as a child, building like 30 prism tanks and just rolling up the commie bastards. The Red Alert 2 soundtrack is still one of my favorite video game tracks to this day. 'It's a Nuclear Device'

Have fun with RA3. It's interesting how swingy the campaign is. By yourself it's well-balanced, with a good partner you can steamroll it effortlessly (even to the point of breaking event flags), and with a bad partner you just... stall out and die. Seriously, who the hell thought making players share income was a good idea...

Like I said, it's fine when you have a competent ally. When you've got an idiot, they blow all of the money instantly and get their units killed in the blink of an eye. I just don't see any good reason why you would make income shared to begin with; it doesn't really open any new or interesting opportunities, and seems to have potential only to screw you. With a good partner it won't, but why share it at all?

I could see like, a share option making sense, but yeah nothing was more frustrating than having a good financial plan then just when you hit the money you need for a new refinery or something your ally drops it on a tech center thing that blows your power margins then sells it at a loss immediately when the power goes off.

Good news: I've played around with an OpenRA test build and the Tiberian Sun mod is coming along really well. About the only things missing are tunneling logic Tiberium veins. Still a few glitches with the hightmaps too. The mod I'm testing also does some cool stuff that wouldn't be possible on the older engines, most notably aerial dogfighting.

Poil posted:Um, you share income not money and certainly not power. If your ally builds a tech center it doesn't affect you in any way at all. But I haven't played it coop with other people, it doesn't work like that does it? I might've been mistaking this for the co-commander thing in RA2. Having now played RA3 again that was not a problem, the problem was the AI ally completely sandbagging so you could be kicking rear end on your front and you look over and all the objectives are failing because your ally is gone.

Gotta be aggressive as gently caress in Red Alert 3 campaign mode, or your AI buddy will slowly drag you down to hell by failing miserably most of the time.

Bumping this old-rear end thread because a big, new (final?) version of Mental Omega just came out. MO is easily the biggest mod for RA2:YR and probably one of the biggest mods for any RTS. As of version 3.3 it boasts the following: quote:This release includes:  Each subfaction is unique and fully realized, both the singleplayer and cooperative campaigns are long and hard as balls, and the mod is fully integrated into CnCnet, meaning you can find a match without having to manually gently caress around with VPNs and the like.  So dig out those Yuri's Revenge CDs (or login to Origin or whatever) and get to Commanding and Conquering! http://www.moddb.com/mods/mental-omega/downloads/mental-omega-330 http://www.moddb.com/mods/mental-omega/downloads/soundtrack-for-mental-omega-33

Haven't played this latest release, but last time I played MO I was really impressed with how the new stuff was fresh and still very much in keeping with the original -- even the voice acting.

I remember trying this, and it was a really cool fusion of Tiberian Sun/RA2/Generals but it was too drat fast. Any advice for a scrub like me that thinks that the slowest setting is still way too fast?

Also chiming in that Mental Omega is loving incredible, in that they are amazingly ambitious and have the talent to pull it off. I've been playing it on and off since 3.3's release.habituallyred posted:I remember trying this, and it was a really cool fusion of Tiberian Sun/RA2/Generals but it was too drat fast. Any advice for a scrub like me that thinks that the slowest setting is still way too fast? Keep playing it on the setting you prefer. Learn the hotkeys (check your menu), for example, pressing Q will bring up the buildings tab, but if you have something built, it will also bring that building to your cursor for placement. Cntr + Shift is Attack Move. Cntr + Alt is defense move/follow (the latter being good for units that heal).

Thank you very much, I knew setting a repair IFV to defence was good but a defend+follow command is great.

poo poo news: No, I do not have a new desktop computer yet (I'm a bad LPer), because I may need to get  a new car and not having a full time job does not bring in money.Not poo poo news: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdNkCKi92i6NsiyxEUgVX1g this guy has done ALOT of the command and conquer series including modded games, and uploads a video a day and is not bad like me, so you could sate your CnC LP thirst in the mean time by watching his stuff.

Former Victory Games developer shares why Generals 2 was cancelled:quote:The biggest problem was tension between free to play, and monetization. There's really no good way to find a happy medium. Either you incentivize people with persistent upgrades like levels, or new unit loadouts, or you have fair, competitive play. There's just not a good happy medium. Naturally, money talks and bull**** walks, so the game was leaning towards monetization and away from competitive play (except it's the competitive play that really keeps things interesting over the long term, so....)
