The Red Alert, developed by the mod team of C&C Labs (makes of The Forgotten and C&C All Stars, undertakes one of the most ambitious tasks in C&C modding: to recreate and improve upon an original game. The 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! It was released on September 21, 2011 and was ranked the number one mod on Moddb.
it does stunnig for a retro no doubt about that, however even though they are trying to keep it as retro as they can i personally still think they could make it a bit more realistic for example some of the animations are still as cheesy as the ones in red alert 3, i belive they could have also improved on the details on the skins of each model and use better sounds, but yetagain this is a difficult task even for proffesionals like these as they are keeping the game retro and bringing back the spirt of the original C&C red alert, which i can happily say they have definatly accomplished as they have brought back the retro music and the classic units from the original game and blended them in to this complex game engine brilliently.
Overall this mod has accomplished its main goal to bring back the retro red alert and is well on its way to geing a very populare mod, however because it is only at 1.0 so far it has room for more possible improvements which could make this mod even better than it already is!
So try it as this mod really brings back Red alert.
