C&C Red Alert 2 REVIEW 2023

This game and battlerealms was my first ever rts games and ever since then i measure if im gonna love an rts games to this day if it plays similar chances are im gonna love. Ra2/yuri, aoe2 are still my top rts not even ra3 is better than ra2, this is the best ra game.

10\10

This game was amazing. Online pvp was extremely hard back then.

Doesn't seem like you're a RA2 OG. gameplay showing 4 rhino tanks, and you aren't rushing? Casual.

Still my favourite RTS game, keep going back to it from time to time

The Iron Curtain can also be used to instakill infantry. It'll make armor invincible for a time and kill any infantry in its area of effect. I've also used the Chrono Shift to teleport enemy land units to an undisclosed location at sea. You can use the nonkilling super weapons to kill enemies.

Back in year 8 at school a friend of mine gave me CD with a bunch of games on it....one was Red alert 2. Fml, I was instantly addicted back then!
Years later at uni, one of my housemates was also into RTS games so we would do network multiplayer which consisted us two being on a huge map normally for 8 players, we have 1 hour to build up and then all hell breaks loose lol

good effing times...

I never liked this game because it felt clunky and imprecise compared to tiberian sun

Nothing special to see here , just one of the best game ever made .

i met frank klepacki once :3

Hello my friend, i am also a fan of red alert 2 and Yuris revenge however i dont know how to install this game on windows 11 can you help me maybe thanks.

I love both games. I grew up playing both and remember them fondly. Personally I like the bleak setting of Tib Sun but I like the RA2 gameplay better. They polished a lot of issues that Tib Sun had. Perhaps we will get HD remasters of both games some day.

To me Westwoods Dune 2 will always be the best rts game ever.

C&C 3 anytime soon?

Classic

The Apocalypse Tank is WEAK compared to the OVERPOWERED MIGHT of Deployed GIs

the bestttt !!!! rtsd of courseeeee

tanyaa , dolphinss , boatss , zeppelin super coooll unitss !!!

EA is stupid not to do a Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2 HD remaster. Tiberian Sun should just have the same build HUD that Red Alert 2 has. All it need is more maps and some rebalance. The online should just have all units from the expansions and they can make it an option to play without expansion units.

Lets start a petition for RA4 :D

How do you get it to work in 2023? Fuk EA, I could not get it to launch. I paid for it and wish I rather pirate it. I rather buy a new RA3 on Steam, but RA2 did not show up there.

i would watch my friend play RA2 all day. i was always on the rise of nations demo. but in 2024 im finally trying it out!!!!

this game is timeless

10/10. So much fun!

This needs a remaster. This is my favorite RTS.

This game is the GOAT of the RTS genre!!

EA is such a buzz killer.

they remastered the original RA1 and Tiberian Dawn a few years ago but they never continued to do the same with the next sequels.

I would have loved to see a remastered definitive edition of RA2 and Tiberian Sun.
RA2 and Tiberian Sun might be the best RTS games of all time.
these games deserve a remaster.

and now the entire collection is on steam. you get every game in the series for one great price on something that ISN'T origins.

Now that they bundled everything for cheap on steam this is my time to go through every C&C chronologically. Im so looking forward to this game, cause back in the day i couldnt play it, cause my PC was too bad. I just played it when i went to a friends house and everything has been great, yes, starting with that intro.
( But man, that pathing in these first games, and friggin GDI grenadiers.. I dont remember being as frustrated back in the days as i am now sometimes, trying to play on hard, cause that just was like it was. )

Props to the upgrade to windows 10 and sneak drop on Steam

Can anyone explain to me how I can play this game? Is there like a remastered version?

ra2 is suppose to be satire lol..

I started playing it in 2001. It is my all-time favorite. By far.

Take me back to being 12 again ! Good stuff man . Wish you could have mentioned more of special units , chrono legionnaires , Ivan , demolition trucks etc.

the game Red aler 2 was very interesting I ended in 2029

I give it a 10/10, equal to generals/zero hour. Which I also love.

Love this game. YR is good but there's something so special to me about base game RA2.

Tanya really is hot

even as a kid I knew this game was something special, still play this to this day
the modding community is healthy as well, and new maps come out from time to time

I always loved the combos you could do with mind control and dynamite, mind controlling a bunch of alligators and ripping enemies in half

loved picking france too in skirmish mode and building a shitload of canons.
also, creating 50 libian trucks and sending them into the enemy base is super fun.

overall this game is a sandbox RTS and if you think about something you can probably do it

20 year have passed, yet the community still live. I've been playing this since around 2007 and now day i still cointunue playing with metal omega mod on 2024( if ur big fan of RA2 u should check it out)

Allied Prism tanks are so satisfying, and Elite Dreadnaughts

My dad still plays this semi religiously. Glad he got me into these games as a kid. Im playing the C&C remastered collection rn

A real classic.
I've recently introduced my 12 year old son to this game, it's so difficult not to push him to one side and take control!
'yes commander'

The fact that we still didn’t get remaster is criminal

Even tho is such an old game the artstyle really keeps it looking great

Review on Mental Omega you will fcking love it!

I wish I could play this game again.

I think Yuri's revenge adds a lot to the game too

I've replayed the campaign so many times and played basically every romhack campaign too. Extremely satisfying game!

RA2 and TibSun are like golden age Westwood to me. Those were the pinnacle of the C&C games imo.
