Now that I've been playing the game again, I realize that I don't actually like the Yuri faction as much as I thought I did years ago. Playing against them sucks because of the obnoxious mind control units and the gatling cannons. Playing as Yuri sucks because you feel so underpowered without defense emplacements like Prism Towers or the ability to repair tanks. I'd rather just play as either the Allies or Soviets; Yuri isn't all that fun.

So that's what's at the top of tutorial 1 - I've always wondered.

There's a little thing in tutorial 2: If you garrison the outhouse at the top right, the sergeant will reprimand you for taking potty breaks.

I think that was shown off in the original training video, but yes :)

Yeah... Its a reason I wanted to include mods eventually, makes it interesting to see how different things get by experience and outside opinion.

Yuri's Revenge Maps: Campaigns and Co-Op

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Twp4lKWudSo
Maps: Yuri's Revenge and Co-Op




The final video is upon us. It does not feature any new gameplay footage due to it being impossible to solo the co-op missions, due to the AI alliance "bug". Of the Yuri's Revenge maps, the only one with any must-see secrets was a sniper+IFV spawning on Tomb Raided, but its not special or important enough to be worth recording/editing it in. If you want the free units just head into that corner whenever.

That's it. That is the entirety of Red Alert 2 that I can show off for the time being. Up next is Command & Conquer: Renegade!

Renegade is one of the most underappreciated games in history. I am looking forward to it.

Sadly the Dune games didn't get the CnC prefix, they have some delicious cutscenes.

I should add this to the poll I said I would make. If I do mods I might as well do C&C adjacent stuff...

We can ask Westwood about that (sorry, don't know the source).


Combine that with the knowledge the first post-Dune 2 C&C was originally going to be a fantasy game "Command & Conquer: Fortress of Stone", it seems Westwood had comparable intentions to Blizzard when naming Warcraft: an umbrella brand attached to all RTSes by the company, regardless of setting.

In that sense, depending on how you count engine generations and the outsourced Dunes that don't even run on Westwood engines, Red Alert 2 is C&C No. 3.5, 5 or 6, and StarCraft 2 is definitely Warcraft 5 :mrgw:

Not like they didn't slap that on completely unrelated products which have not even the slightest relation to the C&C universe. Grumblegrumblegrumble.

Agreed, have a massive, massive soft spot for that game, but will have a lot more to say when it arrives. Nicely done with RA2 and YR though, was a blast seeing them again, def have a new feeling on the whole Yuri faction as a whole, really is sadly a finicky to play, super annoying to play against army in the end.

An outlaw hunting outlaws, a bounty hunter - A [C&C] RENEGADE

It's time to kick more Brotherhood of Nod rear end, as C&C goes First-Person as The Renegade!
