It's not the graphics that make a game great, it's the interaction. Same is true for a lot of classic 8-bit games. The concept is lost on a lot of developers.
Your will never find another game where the Chronosphere can be used to murder infantries, move ships to land, tanks to ocean to destroy them. This will never happen because developers nowadays will over emphasize “game balance”.

Hello from Russia! I'm happiness, because somebody play in this great game in our days.

I wish they made Red Alert 3 closer to the first two in terms of game play just on a bigger scale with even more varied types of units, i thought Red Alert 3 was the begining of the end
EA really screwed up when they ran Westwood Studios into the ground. It was obvious the creators of Red Alert 3 had no idea how to create a RTS game. They made 80% of the vehicles Amphibious in RA3, so there was no longer a need for land-only units. The amphibious tanks could cross all terrain so that also made aircraft redundant. RA2 + Yuri's Revenge were the last good C&C games ever made. While C&C 3 and Kane's Wrath were ok, they still weren't on the same level as RA2 gameplay.
I never get board of this game it’s a timeless classic I use too play it too much when I was in school I would finish school get home and be playing on it against my mates till the early hours of the morning and be talking about the battles we had the next day in class! Great years
I played RA2 i think from 2003 to 2008 regulary, is a legendary game, and dota from warcraft, but i dont have time anymore to play, i tryed RA3 but still RA2 is better for me, also is nostalgic, i remember the childrenhood
Why is it so sped up? Everything looks like twice as fast as it always has since 2000, weird... Is the video sped up or do you actually play at double the default game speed? Thats crazy
I really miss when games were made like these were in the past. Studios like Westwood which gave us better RTS then anything made in the past 10 years. Hoping that Stormgate gives us FINALLY a new RTS to play. Why exactly is it that Red alert 2 is still one of the best RTS to play even though it is so old. Sucks that Supreme commander 2 failed but at least one was fun.
Sanctuary: Shattered Sun or BAR of beyond all reason should scratch this itch. Stormgate, immortal: gates of pyre and zero space all seem to be interesting but really iterating on SC2 not big epic RTS
Love your videos, inspired me to go back and replay! I grew up with C&C games haha! How do you get the game to run so smoothly? I have the original CD version and the digital version through origin and when I try to play the origin version the game is stuck at a certain resolution, the game is slow and sluggish even if I turn the game speed up and I cant even tab out or the game crashes on me!
In the ini file you have to change the resolution by hand, it’s not called .ini any more but if you search for .ini in the program folder you’ll find it, just open it in notepad 🫡
The number 1 thing that makes this game awesome is the soundtrack. Not because the rest of the game is bad, but because that soundtrack just slaps so hard.
It seems like you would have had an easier transition to navy if you had a critical mass of Robot tanks. Even versus undersea Dophins, your own Dophins could hit them first making the enemy Dophins targetable by the Robot tank. I know money wasn't an issue for you, but you probably could have achieved naval stability faster that way.
This will be different if you play it like an actual commander. You know you just dont pile up troops and do dog fights and win by just number. If you have a fleet, air troops and others, you could divide it and command it individually according to a strategy not to fight like an advanced AI. Attack using air force team then the ships then there is a retaliation group, etc something like that.
Why wouldn't you play? The quality was always top-notch and still is, the skill needed for high-level competitive play hasn't gone down, and the game is still available. Not to mention, there's not a lot out there to keep up with the sheer frenzy of a good RTS from the era. If they made a game that was just as high quality but modern graphics or what, it'd be played instead... but until then the king reigns supreme.
I turned 56 on the 3rd of this month. I used to play Red Alert after I saw chinese-looking students playing it in 1997. I got kooked to it and was taking me whole day and overnight playing the different RA editions. I still want to play it and also the Age of Empire game, but I don't.
i think in few years time, RA2 is gonna make a big comeback not like the RA3 one tho. RA2 and YR has a great potential for pvp tournament as well. Maybe, what the devs need is a revamp of the game like the graphics and controls stuffs. For example for group pvp, instead of playing a single base with too many going around, maybe the devs can do instead is one base for three or more players but separate control for the army, navy and airforce and intel something like that
The only thing this game is lacking is a way to pause the game and still give orders. I don`t know how people find enjoyment in having to do 50 mouse clicks every second. Luckily the official campanings were design to be playable while letting player chill and enjoy.
I'm still playing Red Alert 3 Upheaval 2, almost every day, but Red Alert 2 has the advantage of random generation of maps, and the ore yards. Anyway playing a strategic game as a an arcade with no strategy at all is really ridiculous.
There's a lot of balancing still needed in the game. Yuri is OP. IFV's are better AD value than Patriots. Also why did you send all 3 spies into the refinery? You could have sent one to the refinery, one to the barracks and one to the war factory to get upgraded rank units.
If it was real life, I would feel so so sorry for the lovely lady giving the commentary... "unit promoted, unit lost, our base is under attack, building infiltrated, cash stolen. Unit lost, unit lost, new rally point established, unit lost" 😅
I recommend it if you play naval battles like this again. You build robot tanks to take down enemy ships and battle fortress with Guardian G.I. to guard the shores. That's it, your base will be firm. Confirm. 👊
Hey guys, if i buy the Command & Conquer: The Ultimate Collection , can i play with RA2 and Generals on win 10 or win 11 without further action? Can i start all games with the Origin? Thank you!
@@v0vlkv725 Running the game in compatibility mode with older windows like XP or 7. it usually(but not always) makes a program run using only 1 core, among other things.

Best mod I’ve ever played, c&c reloaded
It combines red alert 2 and tiberium sun units and maps and allows you to play them against each other.
The developer has done a really good job with this mod, it’s really good fun
Man i remenber clearly this type of RTS is like is primitive but is like arcade games... never gets old... is awkward! xD i has that feel of RTS and kinda arcade
how can you still play it? i want toooo
My father which is almost 60 also like to play RA2, AOE2, WC3, Diablo 2.... Tried to teach him how to play Civ series when I was kid, but it was not his genre.
My dad is turning 60 and still plays the classics - RA2, Zero Hour, etc.
It's not the graphics that make a game great, it's the interaction. Same is true for a lot of classic 8-bit games. The concept is lost on a lot of developers.
100% agreed with you
Probably put more hours than any game ever. Never got old
Your will never find another game where the Chronosphere can be used to murder infantries, move ships to land, tanks to ocean to destroy them. This will never happen because developers nowadays will over emphasize “game balance”.
I prefer the graphics in RA2 to most modern games. More advanced or fancy or realistic graphics aren't necessarily better
Yep great gameplay wins over graphics. I still fire up the old xcom games " UFO/TFTD " from time to time.
This is the only game that has given me "video game hangover." It's a perfectly designed game.
video game hangover is a perfect description of it. talk about sensory overload! I kept pausing it so I could catch up to what all was happening.
I have to play it on a slow speed because i am getting older and my brain is not as fast as it use to be.@@aZX14blurr
Perfectly designed?! This is the most disbalanced game ever! Alliance is 2 classes better than Soviets and Yuri smashes them both together.
Every time I watch your videos I only get a few minutes in before I have to go and play RA2 myself. That's how good this game is.
Agreed. It's easy to get a hankerin' for this game, it's still fun.
69 likes lol
where can i download this game can you please send me the link to download this game. thanks
I have it from EA but as Soon as I try a high resolution I get a wierd colors and my game freezes 😢
I'm fighting that urge with my entire being.. I'm married now....
I'm 43, did not play this game for almost 15 years but still watching your video. Remembered my truant time just for playing this awesome game. :)
Same here brother😅 My first strategy game was red alert 1
RA2 is kinda the game I’ll boot up and play every once in a while I strangely think of it
This game was such a vibe. I played Iraq vs USA and felt like a geopolitical mastermind back in the day. What a gem.
I play RA2 and RA2 Yuris revenge still today as well and i love em i have played RA3 as well but RA2 is miles better in my opinion.

Red Alert 3 is actually really good, when u get into it. I started on it because I did play ra2 before, and ended playing aloot of ra3.

ra3 is somewhat not visually appealing than ra2

Such a nostalgic trip this game has, I still love it
Never forget the good old days as a 14 - 16yr old kid playing this doing clan wars as part of the [Sealz] Clan :D
Good lord it's like a never ending D-Day invasion on your island.
I'm surprised he didn't picked axis side, their AA are more powerful.
Player vs player i think.
I'm 60 years old and playing it..😊
its the insane madness of 7 "brutal" enemies constantly attacking us while we're building a fortress they cant get to

The Father of the Real Time Strategy Genre will never die. WESTWOOD LIVES!!!
16:32 You can actually start to see when enemy is starting to strugle with money.
Rope-a-dope RA2 style, ..... I just love it and this game, Zoom, you are a beast, keep em coming, man.

Every computer or laptop I ever owned all has RA2 on them😂
Link atabilir misiniz lütfen, hiçbir yerde bulamıyorum.
I was once a regular viewer, my computer broke and now i miss playing red alert 2, my pc has been broken for atleast a year now.
red alert 2 never gets old.

Stormgate, immortal: gates of pyre and zero space all seem to be interesting but really iterating on SC2 not big epic RTS
D.O.R.F. Real-Time Strategic Conflict, has just been announced on steam. It's inspired by C&C and looks awesome!
I started dusting off my old 4 pc's and we are going to play a Red Alert 2 LAN this week 😄
Love your videos, came across your channel during lockdown and spent plenty a lonely night watching epic battles!
Crazy battle and impossiemblest win! Congratulations man, this is epic! ⭐⭐🔥🔥👍👍
Just played it today. I still play it every now and then. Lovely game!

Change your render gl from the launcher menu
You are the best Red alert 2 player i have ever seen!
One of the best games ever, and you are a very fast player, but you play without organization
This game looks like the war of Taiwan VS China at 2025.
The number 1 thing that makes this game awesome is the soundtrack. Not because the rest of the game is bad, but because that soundtrack just slaps so hard.
ngl, i could agree because im still alive playing the game in 2023 rn
The level of skills required to be a pro at this game in insane 👏!
This is by far the best RA2 battle video that I've watched... It's a sin not to like and subscribe this video...
EA ate alot of cool dev teams but this one has to be one of the most painfull...
It seems like you would have had an easier transition to navy if you had a critical mass of Robot tanks. Even versus undersea Dophins, your own Dophins could hit them first making the enemy Dophins targetable by the Robot tank. I know money wasn't an issue for you, but you probably could have achieved naval stability faster that way.
i hope steam puts red alert 2 because its a crime its not there still
It's gameplay like this that makes me appreciate the soundtrack to this game lol
I miss this. Honestly, Tiberian Sun was awesome but the fastest gameplay mode was slower than the slowest RA2 mode.
This will be different if you play it like an actual commander. You know you just dont pile up troops and do dog fights and win by just number. If you have a fleet, air troops and others, you could divide it and command it individually according to a strategy not to fight like an advanced AI.

Unit lost
Base is under attack
Repairing
Unit ready
ON LOOP
I wanna scream as soon as enemy MCV destroyed by air units destroy naval base 😂
Wish I could get my copy to work right. I have the collection version. Both on disc and origin and it doesn't like running on w10 for whatever reason
Honestly one if the best games ever made.
This is insane! Only a an absolute pro can do this.
My favorite games are Empire Earth (Part 1) and Red Alert 2 Command and Conqueror
I played Ra2 a lot when I was young.
It's the best strategy game after "c&c zero hour" followed by Age of empires series.
Why wouldn't you play? The quality was always top-notch and still is, the skill needed for high-level competitive play hasn't gone down, and the game is still available. Not to mention, there's not a lot out there to keep up with the sheer frenzy of a good RTS from the era.

Need money to survive lolol
Yeah, 2000s was the golden age of RTS!!!
Some fast-paced action. 👍

I don`t know how people find enjoyment in having to do 50 mouse clicks every second. Luckily the official campanings were design to be playable while letting player chill and enjoy.
pause the game and give orders? hell no dude. this is rts. you're supposed to micro manage your units and maintaining your base at the same time.
This is certainly a naval video!

There's a lot of balancing still needed in the game.
Yuri is OP. IFV's are better AD value than Patriots.
Also why did you send all 3 spies into the refinery? You could have sent one to the refinery, one to the barracks and one to the war factory to get upgraded rank units.
he wanted to steal 87% of the enemy's money I guess
Looks intensive. :D
They don't have Red Alert 2 on Steam where do you get it?
You're probably better off just stealing it at this point. Original studio doesn't exist, and EA doesn't need more money.
What do I need to do to play Red Alert 2 now? And where can I get a physical copy?
If it was real life, I would feel so so sorry for the lovely lady giving the commentary... "unit promoted, unit lost, our base is under attack, building infiltrated, cash stolen. Unit lost, unit lost, new rally point established, unit lost" 😅
Nice video but why didn't you try to use your spies to gain veterancy for your units?
I did not know you could play this game like that
I recommend it if you play naval battles like this again. You build robot tanks to take down enemy ships and battle fortress with Guardian G.I. to guard the shores. That's it, your base will be firm. Confirm. 👊
Playing this game is too damn stressful for me lol! My brain just can't process what's happening fast enough!
Unbelievable bro you are super smart player
Thanks for the support 👍

That was a good navy battle.
