After many months of mapping and scripting, our modding team - Mentalmeisters - is happy to announce that the end of our two-act campaign for Red Alert 2 is now available for download! Version 3.3.6 is out! Remember, it is a patch for the base release of Mental Omega 3.3.0, so make sure to have that one first!
Mental Omega Patch 3.3.6 (Manual Update)
This retold story of the conflict between the Allies, the Soviets and Yuri's Epsilon has reached its finale, with a set of brand new 9 massive and complex singleplayer missions. With this final addition to Act Two, the Mental Omega campaign now consists of 133 missions total: 97 singleplayer and 36 for cooperative.
- Allied Mission 23: Withershins
- Allied Mission 24: Hamartia (Finale)
- Soviet Mission 23: Fatal Impact
- Soviet Mission 24: Death's Hand (Finale)
- Epsilon Mission 23: Reality Check
- Epsilon Mission 24: Babel (Finale)
- Foehn Mission 05: Vanishing Point
- Foehn Mission 06: The Remnant (Finale)
- Foehn Special Op: Time Capsule
To celebrate this major campaign-concluding release, we've recently released a new trailer. Check it out!
With that said, a reminder:
Last December we published an additional music pack - all of the mission-specific themes previously released in patches have been moved to the new Soundtrack Part II, which includes both old and new tunes. What we didn't mention back then however, is that this package contains a whole lot of new music for the finales, which we highly recommend that you download before playing any of the 9 missions!

The complete list of everyone involved to both larger and smaller extent in making Mental Omega 3.3.6 a reality is available here. This is a work of a team with some of the most excellent mission scripters in the Command & Conquer modding community, and I'd like to thank each and everyone involved for sticking around for all these years and making this happen. Thank you! - Speeder
The next update, 3.3.7 will mostly contain bugfixes, further balance changes and optimizations. While I'd love to announce the next chapter of this story immediately, currently I'd prefer to make no such promises.
We all thank you for being a fan for all these years!
For now however, this is it. The war is over!
