I've been having a great playing the remasters. While I think there's room for further with the QoL improvements and not all of the improvements are implemented optimally (right-click scrolling shouldn't cancel building placement for example), the improvements are still significant and audio-visually the games are amazing. I've had a blast playing through the campaigns again.
I beat the Soviet campaign within the first release day and uploaded all of it on YouTube. These videos were my first playthroughs of the missions; I didn't practice in advance for them. It's probably been around 10 years since I beat the Soviet campaign last time, so my shady memories of the original game's missions didn't provide a lot of help either. As such, some of the runs can be fairly far from optimal, and despite that I consider myself generally skilled in C&C, some of the scripted surprise attacks got me every once in a while. I might do videos of more optimal runs later. Here's the videos from each mission in case you're interested in watching them:
