·The Red Alert: The original, the only, the true; The Red Alert.
The Red Alert, under development by the mod team of C&C Labs, undertakes one of the most ambitious tasks in C&C modding: to recreate and improve upon an original game. The Red Alert, a mod in development for Red Alert 3, is based off the original Red Alert's art and game play. Not aiming to model realism, it instead endeavors to bring the addictive heart-pounding game play of the classic to a world-class 3D engine, to bring back all of the classic units, including those from Aftermath, and to recreate the very "feel" of its art style. With The Red Alert, epic tank battles, MiG attack runs, and Cruiser strikes will be more than just fond memories — they will all be weapons in your arsenal once again!

This is more of a mini-release than a true media release as I don't have much to show this time around. The focus of this release is all about submarines. All two of them. So enjoy the pretty pictures and hopefully next time there will be more to show.
With that out of the way. You'd probably like to know what the mod team has been up to. As stated in our last update, the focus of CnC Labs is mostly on CnC: The Forgotten at the moment, and I expect you'll quite enjoy the next update when it comes out. But fear not, this mod ain't dead yet and won't be any time soon. In fact, we will most assuredly release both this mod and The Forgotten eventually; we don't let our mods die, here.
On a somewhat related note, for any aspiring RA3 modders out there, as well as modders who wish to see how the collapse models for this mod are made, I have made a tutorial for Red Alert 3 on how to create collapse models, complete with a MaxScript I wrote myself to make the process go much quicker. You can find the tutorial here, at the CnC Labs website. The tutorial uses the Missile Sub, featured in this update, as the subject. There are also three exclusive screen shots there of the poor Missile Sub blown to pieces.
That's all for now. I can't make any promises when the next update will be, but I do expect you'll see some more sea-going vessels in it.... C'ya'll next time!

This will probably be the reason I will buy RA3! I hope you allow, Apaches and migs to shoot down air units like they could in RA1, it was hard to target air units but it is possible. :) (all missiles units in RA could target air, except for the V2 ;))
It isn't that important because not many were able to do this in RA anyways!
They could?! I gotta make a change in my mod! Thanks for the info.
if your gonna do that then you might as well add the other glitch where grenaiders can throw across the map :/
Nice mod!
I was wondering is this mod going to use the ability cycle thing that is in RA3 or are you just going for pure RA?
nice mod!
as soon as i get a better pc to run RA3 i am downloading this mod!
Hmm... I really hope you'd stop putting this mod behind the Forgotten, I mean, the Forgotten is a cool mod and all that, but I'd rather see this one completed, rather then both completed.
I mean, everybody knows no matter what you do, The Forgotten mod will never be completed... Well this one at least had significant progress.
wats ur problem wiv the forgotten mod???
We have every intention of completing both mods, and progress on both mods is going quite well, there's no need to worry about either one not being completed. And I hate to disappoint you, but we ARE prioritizing The Forgotten over The Red Alert.
As for your low opinion of The Forgotten, you might change your mind after the next update....
disagree about the forgotten release but i agree that this mod is better. either way they are both award winning!
