The Red Alert Media Release #4! news

The Red Alert

C&C: Red Alert 3 mod | TBD

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!

The Red Alert Media Release #4!

Things are shaping up!

Finally, the fourth media release for The Red Alert, a mod that aims to recreate the original Red Alert for Red Alert 3. As you can see, the focus this month was mostly on structures. As of now, over half the structures for both the Allies and the Soviets are fully coded and in-game. But! No point in taking my word for it, check out these screen shots:

And there are more in the "Images" section of the The Red Alert profile here on Mod DB. I apologize for the lack of action in the screen shots, but it appears it's not possible to mod the AI without breaking the game. This is especially bad news for those who were hoping for a recreation of the single player campaign. We can only hope this issue will be resolved in the future. In the mean time, enjoy the update. Hopefully, the next release will have a video!

See you next month.
