Pretty much what the title says. I loved the series, RA3 was the only game I ever pre-ordered and while the packaging was pretty cool (the soundtrack was awesome) it was a big disappointment to me. RA2 set such a high standard for me that it was impossible to meet. Bummer the series went downhill, but I'm looking forward to playing more of the best C&C game now.

damn dude i remember playing some kind of Command & Conquer game on N64 at some point in my early youth. i probably had no idea what was going on. i remember being into Starcraft as early as age 7 or 8, my older brother had the battlechest and i remember thinking the units in the game were so cool. that shit pretty much launched me into computer video games for the rest of my life. talk about a classic. i will have to check this out.

got literally 2 fps and slideshow instead of a game by the start of any map, works fine in main menu and even in menu when I'm in game, any ideas how to fix that?

wowow, nostalgia..
C&C, RA, RA2
great fucking RTS games.

don't forget to HD-WIDESCREEN your RA2 up! you can actually play RA2 in HD/widescreen without any kind of issue. you do not need a patch or anything. you just open the ini, set the width and height and you are done. also works with the YR expansion.

NOSTALGIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I remember Playing RA 1 with my Dad on the PS forever, might have to hit my dad up to get him to play RA2 on the PC.

in case anyone is having difficulty remembering the game series

Was wondering if anyone else basically ignored the campaign and did pretty much only skirmishes when they played RA

campaigns like that have little to no replay value, so yeah after completing those it was all skirmish for me.
I didn't bother with MP too much because i'm a 'casual' kind of RTS player. i like to take my time, build a big base, turtle like a pussy, and (in RA2) level up my dope-ass troops.
good times, man!

C&C and Red Alert 1 will always hold a special place in my heart. First RTS' I ever played.

RA2 made me mad because GI's were so fucking strong lol but it was still fun.
