What is Combined Arms?
It’s a completely free Command & Conquer game built on the OpenRA engine.
What started out as a simple fusion of the Westwood original Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert games, the project evolved by incorporating a plethora of new units, gameplay mechanics, and additional features.
The game includes five main factions:
Allies
Soviets
GDI
Nod
Scrin
Each of which, having four unique sub-factions with their own units, powers and upgrades.
Drawing from the extensive C&C franchise, the game incorporates units, structures, powers, and upgrades recreated in the Tiberian Dawn/Red Alert art style.
A comprehensive campaign, currently encompassing 34 missions, unfolds a narrative detailing the interwoven universes and timelines.
The experience extends further with Skirmish AI difficulties ranging from Easy to Brutal, providing a challenge even for highly skilled players.
Over 450 maps are included, including many competitive maps used in the base RA mod of OpenRA.
Balancing for competitive play has been a major focus. We host 1v1 ladder servers linked to player rankings and statistics, and hope to build a competitive community moving forward.

Hi!
I'm still missin' the good ol' Mammoth Mk.II for the GDI, and the Montauk for Nod. (I know it's in Tiberium Essence, but still..)
This comment is currently awaiting admin approval, join now to view.
Hello, once again wanted to show my appreciation for the highest quality fan-made C&C experience i've played. Love what you've done going back and creating voice lines which sound authentic. The Soviet version of the Red Alert EVA was a surprise.
Wanted as well to let you know that on the first mission of the NOD episode, if you put an Infiltrator into the Allied War Factory then you can build the Grizzly Tank. The issue (if you would even consider it an issue) is this tank will spawn with a red colour rather than the white/grey colour of NOD. If this wasn't a creative choice by yourself then I hope this is useful info.
Thanks again.
Much appreciated!
For the campaign we tried to replicate the "red, but with white units" colour scheme for Nod, which basically meant manually overriding palettes for specific units. There are probably other units that will be red rather than white for Nod too; I think it's an acceptable edge case for now but I'll add it to my backlog to fix.
In the upcoming version the Grizzly Tank will no longer be available via infiltration. Stay tuned!
I know this is not the place to ask, but I need help.
So 2 days ago. I got the whole series for 50 in my currency.
I have openRA. But it don't see the steam for install of base game.
thats coming in the next release of openra
This mod feels really great to play with all the latest updates and new units it has. But if I may make one request, is there a possibility of reducing the extent in which the AI cheats for money? I can understand that for the hardest difficulties, but it feels very unfair on normal, easy and even hard that it does this... That is the only criticism I have of the mod, otherwise, stellar work.
Hia, thanks & glad you like the mod. The AI builds units faster and more cheaply on Hard difficulty and above. On Normal it just has a small amount of income (less than one harvester's worth) if it gets low on money, to prevent it from getting stuck unable to produce anything. Easy has no money or production advantages at all.
hi, i have a trouble , i cannot start the game!
i downloaded the installer 1.01, from december 14, 2023.
i install it in a folder and when i start the exe the game dont works. it says "critical error".
i have windows 7.
can you help me? do i need to install some other openra stuff in order to function?
thankyou
The_GoodPlayer
ps: i can run other type of mods, like "down of tiberian age", they work well...
Hia. Yea OpenRA doesn't support Windows 7 I'm afraid. Would recommend upgrading since Windows 7 went out of support years ago.
thanx.
i will have a new system next computer i will buy, but for now i will not change.
so there is no chance to have a patch for win7?
thanx

Out of interest can you run the latest version of regular OpenRA? Just to confirm it's an engine issue. If it is you'd need to ask them as it's not under our control.
