OpenRA
OpenRA developers | Released Sep 19, 2010
Built-In Mods
OpenRA is a highly moddable RTS game engine for classic Westwood 2D games. In fact Red Alert, Command & Conquer and Dune 2000 are implemented purely as mods on it. Tools are provided that allow you to add new units, maps and tilesets even create your own mod. Have a look at the wiki.
Red Alert
The RA mod for OpenRA is a reimagining of Command & Conquer: Red Alert. It is not just a clone of the original but has improved and rebalanced gameplay. The UI is modernised for higher resolutions and better usabiltiy. It has fully working multiplayer support for both internet and local play (via direct connect). A single player campaign is currently being worked on.
Command & Conquer
The CNC mod for OpenRA is a reimagining of the original Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn game. As with Red Alert modern networking and rendering technology is used. Also new features are implemented such as snow terrain, neutral tech buildings and many glitches from the original have been fixed.
Dune 2000
The D2k mod for OpenRA is a reimagining of Dune 2000. A remake of the remake so to speak. The mod tries to optimize balancing and gameplay. Currently in early stages of development, but already playable. The spice must flow!

Screenshots

The Red Alert mod includes a new main menu and desert-themed shellmap.
C&C and D2K now requires buildings to be constructed near a construction yard, reducing the effectiveness of multiple-building-queue base-walking strategies.
Bridges can now be repaired by sending an engineer into the rubble.

Really stupid question so sorry about it : How to add bots ? :D
Pretty cool game! I've left some ideas of improvement in the latest release news. plus, I hope you can help me with my performance issue. (also stated in the article comments).
Great game, keep it up!
When I saw the picture I thought this allowed combining the sides from dune 2000, Tiberium series, and Red Alert into a mashup in the style of the C&C reloaded mod (Yuri's revenge) and whichever one added Spartans XD
Love me some mash-ups... always like a little taste of Super Smash Bros. for real-time strategy games.
See Sleipnirstuff.com for a mixed universe mod.
thought id meantion this if it helps with improving the game,
just installed the latest version of the game playing a red alert skirmish island A.I. and an enemy managed to build an advanced power plant on my island despite being nowhere near it
Thanks for the report. That is known and fixed in Github.com lately.
I really wonder if you balanced this game finally. Because I remember on normal Red Alert the soviets were totally overpowered. All you'd need was a heavy tank or a mammoth and some grenadiers. Allies units were allways weaker...
The balancing has changed completely so you can now play allies vs soviets competitively.
Is there any chance of this and the guy handling Twisted Insurrection mod: Moddb.com | Coming together to get Twisted Insurrection within the 'change over' list within OpenRA? (In a way to not break anything on either side)
We are working on Tiberian Sun support with MIX and SHP files already implemented in the development repository and experimental support for VXL/HVA soon.
