Red Alert: A Path Beyond brings the exciting storyline and epic clashes from the classic Westwood Studios game, Command & Conquer: Red Alert to realm of first person shooters, with a twist. We've remained loyal to the style and feel of the 1996 classic, while integrating content from its expansions Counterstrike and The Aftermath with a bit of updated history to add to the mix. Built off the W3D engine Westwood Studios built for classics such as Earth & Beyond and Command & Conquer: Renegade finished up in 2001, we help bring the fight to you as you play out your role as any one of a number of infantry classes participating in team-based combat that often involves land, sea, and air combined-arms clashes that just don't happen in any other game. Oh, and did we mention it's FREE?
Red Alert: A Path Beyond is a free standalone total conversion of Command & Conquer Renegade which focuses on recreating the world of Red Alert in a team-based tactical shooter environment.
Very nice trailer, did you ever think about porting this to renegade x/Unreal engine?
That question comes to us every so often, from both fans and internal discussions.
The thought has come to us, indeed, but the W3D engine is our niche. It is what we know best and what we will continue to improve and expand on.
We are W3D Hub after all!
I know the feeling, I've been working with hammer and Source for so long, I'm often doubting my own abilities, thus constricting me to Source. I recently started dabbling with UE, though, and I have to say it's impressively simple to use.
If the gang decides to give it a whack, I'm sure it'll go over well, you're all certainly more accomplished than I. That being said, I'll continue being a fan regardless.
