Post news Report RSS Upcoming New Horizons Version 7

New Horizons is a mod made in tribute to the classic real time strategy game Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge, originally made by Westwood Studios. New Horizons vastly expands the original game with an emphasis on realism, while at the same time preserving the elements that made Red Alert 2 unique.

For all you Command & Conquer fans that follow this Mod's progress, I would like to give you an update with regards to the upcoming version of New Horizons, preliminarily named as 'Version 7'.

Version 7 will be debuting the introduction of new Countries, as well as several other changes, which will hopefully coincide with the launch of the 1st New Horizons-exclusive Campaign Mission. I have already worked hard to (re)implement Both of the game's original campaigns, from Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge, which I'm certain everyone loves and enjoys, which are based in an alternate-reality Soviet era. The New Horizons campaign missions will focus on possible modern real-world flashpoints, including likely scenarios in the outbreak of WW3.

Naturally, several key countries that are omitted in the original game, will be added to reflect this new campaign. Generally in this new campaign, countries that were traditionally under the 'Allied' faction, will be under the 'NATO' umbrella, whereas countries that were traditionally under the 'Soviet' faction will be considered aligned with 'CSTO' (a cursory internet search will show you what both acronyms stand for, should you not already know). I have already successfully implemented the 1st new country in my working test build not yet released to the public; that of Belarus. Other planned countries that are being considered are; China, Iran, Turkey, and North Korea (Others will be revealed at a later date).

Watch this space for updates, and remember, if you have any questions,comments, or suggestions, please doleave them here, or on the 'forum' section at the top.

Lee3y may i suggest also the most trending geopolitical issue that could be a flashpoint is in the south china sea which china lay claims to the chain of islands that is possible to have a war there..

Hey, Hey!! you're getting ahead of yourself, don't spoil it ;)

But yes, that is One of the 'flashpoints' that will indeed be on my new campaign, however that will be further down the line as I still have to add numerous assets, including the playable country of China. As I release each new version, at least 1 new country and/or mission will be released.

A whole load of assets/changes have been made that already warrant a new release very soon

Anyone here still have accuracy bug like me ?. All APC and some tanks units always shoot to random place near the target that you order them to attack

@Sunjorn, hi there just to clarify for you, it is not a bug; this is a firing mechanism I've given to many weapons that either fire bullets, or shells. They now follow a ballistic trajectory, which deliberately is not always 100% accurate (nothing in real life is). If you observe an APC fire upon a target, it will pepper the area with bullets; some will hit, some will miss, some will be grazing shots. Sometimes targets will be struck by the 1st shot, others it will take a couple of attempts. Please read my article describing Specific Accuracy; Moddb.com
