@@tuk955 Pretty sure I remember using a bus in the soviet mission where you capture the battle lab at the twin towers, that and using a Yuri troop to mind control a limo to search the map without getting attacked by the enemy.

6:26 You missed the fact that there's a lone Sentry Gun you can destroy with the Harriers to completely skip the mission. This must be done before the Soviets set up their base though, as the Sentry Gun acts as a placeholder to prevent the victory condition from being fulfilled.
For Mission 5, I used to play the mission with pretty much Tanya only, but ever since find those two engineers, I start to capture barracks and reactor to build 10 rhinos to crush the mission with tanks. I find that method a bit more fun to play. Credit to all of those tips (or maybe Easter Eggs), especially in Mission 11. I did not know the bus thing exist lol.
yeah, before this vid I thought I knew all of them :) for example, I've never even thought to CAPTURE mission objectives. or money crate in office building in mission 4. seems quite random tbh.
@@johnsven878 In the original Command and Conquer, NOD mission three or four required you to capture a prison. First time in, I blew it up and had mission lost. Next time, I destroyed everything else, then tried to figure out how I could cap it. So yeah, to me this made sense now.
Funny, during Allied Mission 12, I had captured one of the undefended Nuclear Plants, built a barracks next to it, and continuously trained spies to keep the enemy's power down until I could use the Chronosphere 3 times. I... never tried to use the legionnaires.
Tip: On allied mission 7 at the start, you can finish the mission easily if you go near your Allied Base,destroying the Sentry Gun nearby will finish the mission without your friend getting any harm Also good tip for speedrunners Use the Rocheteers for fastest result
There's also another one on the mission on Chicago Map (Last Chance). If you garrison the Burger Kong building with GIs then the enemy force destroy it, a group of monkeys will spawn and attack the enemy force responsible for its destruction then they will follow your commands.
There is a tip I know of for Deep Sea. You can win the mission very easily before the bulk of enemy forces arrive by training a few rocketeers and sending them to destroy a sentry gun next to a garrisoned hut on a small island.
I don't know if you will see this but when I played the mission, i managed to keep the psychic beacon instead of it being sold. I did this by using fully promoted GI to outrange the coils, then captured the soviet barracks and tesla reactor and trained a engineer to capture the beacon. For some reason it didn't get sold (but it doesn't seen like the beacon does anything)
Those controllable cows in the Dark Night mission were by far the best stress reliever when I played this game as a kid, considering I was extremely careful and explored every inch of the map before moving out with the Spies and Tanya.
There's some more I can add! For the Allied Mission #2 - If you can actually destroy or capture the North-East soviet base with only Tanya and the Rocketeers, you will be awarded with more units paradropped into the neutralized enemy base For the Allied Mission #4 - If you can destroy the Psychic Amplifier with only your Naval Units and never got to force land your troops into the shore, your Secretary will say something of the lines "Good work commander, they never saw us coming" There's also for the Allied Mission #7 but I cant remember fully, but it's something about the Marsh/swamp in the North Island And I'm sure you know about the Tutorial sections too!
The tutorials were also included in a different video! I remember that line ""Good work commander, they never saw us coming"" but I am not quite from which mission.
Mission 8: If you capture the abandoned buildings to the south (the refinery and wf) you will get extra time to destroy or capture the beacon before Tanya starts singing the Soviet national anthem.
On Mission 4 Last Chance, you can save the police cars. On Mission 10 Mirage, you can save the friendly outposts, and deny the enemy from building there. I can only save 2 tho, never 3. Its too hard. Also because you prevent them from building, you dont have to worry about them attacking Einstein.
In the fourth allied mission "Last Chance", if you garrison the Mcmonkey burger building with several G.I.s you get a handful of Monkeys that you can command and help you against the Soviets. Its one of the funniest secrets I ever found in the game and I'm kinda surprised no one has mentioned it yet.
I genuinely thought I knew everything about this game (and still play it today). First tip: there are six crates on the first mission that I had no idea existed. And up the road: three free Veteran tanks. You know, the President's throwing a victory gala at the White House later and - no that's too weird but still brilliant work. EDIT: SPY COWS?!
In the 11th allied mission you can use 2 SEALs to set a waypoint to destroy the brides over and over again. If you do this they will paradrop engineers to the middle island between the bridges, if you place another SEAL defending the ramp there a HORDE of planes will paradrop engineers over and over again at an extreme speed. This way is very good to level up units to chronosphere over.
Now if I remember correctly, in the Soviet mission where you infiltrate the battle lab infront of the world trade center you get yuri clones (dunno how they were called in ra2) and you can mind control a bus with them and you will have the same benefits as with the bus in the allied mission and you can even control it!
If I remember correctly, in mission 2, there are some heavily damaged civilian buildings to the left side of your base and if you repair them with engineers (or destroy them?) some of them will leave crates behind.
So, I didn't know about that the tower you could garrison to see the whole map, the crate at the bottom of the map in the mission where you gotta destroy Nuclear Warheads and that you could capture them too! Ohh and the crazy bus trick, nice!
Mission 7. There might be no tips but there is a cheese mechanics that allows you to prevent soviet invasion and accomplish the mission earlier: There's a single sentry gun on some of the islands. If you destroy it before Soviet invade you accomplish the mission. It's SE of the cyan ally islands, you should be able to destroy it with few rocketeers.
Pro tip for the Fallout mission: Each time your Seals blow up the bridge, an enemy plane with two engineers will be sent to repair it. Use your Waypoint to make your Seals blow it up non-stop (even when it's destroyed) and you can spawn an enormous amount of planes. The Engineers provide excellent experience for your units to gain fast veterancy.
Or just send a bunch of rocketeers and station them there. Avoid sea scorpion fire and all Soviet units landed at the top will never be able to attack your base. The money you have at the initial two islands are enough to keep playing. After using seal to blow up the bridge.
01:35 You can use the rocket man and tanya to destroy the enemy base before recapturing your own base 08:20: on that mission, if you defend the german outposts from destruction successfully, you've completed the mission
6:21 In Deep Sea, you can win the mission instantly by moving your Aircraft Carriers and Destroyers near the your ally’s base. When the Soviets’ MCV has been deployed, order your Carriers to destroy the Construction Yard and after a few minutes, you win the mission.
another thing to note about the grizzly tanks in mission 1 is that they are hostile to you until they become yours. But usually they turn over to your control before you can get in range.
@@ilijamatejic8113 I think the better answer would be: "I wish Tiberian Twilight was never made as it was." Red Alert 3 was great too, the best EALA developed C&C in my opinion.
Glad to be one of the people that actually knew this all along, cause we 90's generations love to explore games and back then " Secrets, easter eggs " and all kinds of hidden surprises were daily thing to have in games ^_^ Still big helper for those who do not yet know all these years.
On the level mirage you can move a navy seal upto the place where the soviet mcv arrives and blow it up as soon as it deploys to end this mission superfast.
10:55-11:07 Eva: "Sir, this is an Engineer. He is much smarter than the Soviet counterpart." *[engineer gets killed by a Sentry Gun]* Stalin/Romanov: "Hold my beer!" Also, the beginning though... SHUT UP, LIEUTENANT EVA!
Rediscovering once again the joys of RA2, the game that never grows old In Lone Guardian you missed a few money crates 1) The first damaged building on the right of the road at the start 2) The last building in the road leading to the base at the back left of the block 3) Top left corner of the map is a small group of enemies protecting a crate
There's a tip in mission 7 which you haven't mentioned. It's possible to quickly beat the mission if you move all of your troops towards the light blue Allied base which the Soviets will take out and build their own base on the northwest. As soon as the Soviets show up, you can destroy their MCV, and they will not be a threat at all. I once did that.
I'm surprised how many of these i knew back in the day. I didn't have internet when i first played this so it's shocking to see how much my skill has been replaced by check the wiki
I'm surprised you didn't mention the Pearl Harbor speedrunning thing where you kill the one sentry turret on the map for instant victory before they even land
You missed this really cool trick in Allied MIssion 4 : Last Chance, it's at the very beginning where you can actually lead the destroyers towards a hidden northern path that goes directly to the psychic amplifier. Look up a couple of speedruns for the Allied campaign, most of them use this trick as it basically skips the entire mission Edit: In the sears tower trick you can actually see the route that needs to be taken on the minimap Edit 2: You say there are no tricks in Allied sea but I actually know of one, it's more of a speedrunning trick (yay for speedruns) The mission actually has the condition of short game, which means you only need to destroy the buildings. There's actually a hidden sentry gun somewhere on your allied commander's island, if you send a few rocketeers or harriers etc. to quickly kill the sentry gun BEFORE the soviets kill your ally and set up base you can basically skip the mission. Again, this is a rather common speedrun strat due to its sheer speed, so if you'd like to see this strat for yourself you can look up red alert 2 speedruns.
The first one is used in every speedrun thus I didn't include it as for the second one it's certainly some kind of bug and I don't want to exploit them.
Yuri Prime in RA2 is strong as well. Though he lacks movement above water, he makes up with a mind control range equal or slightly lower than the firing range of Grand Cannon😂
In the first Allied mission, if you don't sink the Dreadnaughts, they'll eventually leave and you'll get a Mission Failure... 3:15 I don't get it? What's so significant about that building in particular? 4:10 The cows are friendly towards the Red Soviet base, but one of them is hostile to them and they'll send their dogs to maul those cows when the battlefield expands... 4:50 Soviet anti-aircraft... none of which can be seen anywhere... This is highly sus... Especially considering how capturing the base gives you Soviet Engineers and Huskies... 6:20 In the Pearl Harbour level, there's a Sentry Gun on a tiny island near your allies' base. Destroy that before the Soviets deploy their MCV and you win since the win condition is "Destroy All Soviet Structures" EDIT: And it was addressed in a later comment as an exploit not a neat trick... fair enough :) 8:05 They kept that refinery and crate in for Yuri's Revenge when you're the Soviets. Except I think the Allies put up some defences as well. But capturing the Refinery will spawn a crate with a Chrono Miner in it.
Here's another tip. I believe depending on what version of RA2, you can send a spy to infiltrate your own structures and getting their respective tech. This in essence mean you can get the Chrono commando as early as Mission 6 or 7 while able to train units at Veteran status.
>Chrono Commando Well. In standard gameplay, your Battle Lab needs to be in enemy possession before you can start training this type of soldier, so unless you let enemy engineers in, you can't pull this off. By extension, this rule would most likely apply to these missions, too.
I don't know of you guys can relate, but when I used to be a kid I always found these by accident because I didn't know how to play the game (and back then I didn't even speak English lol)

I hope you'll cover the polar bear secret in Yuri's Revenge campaign which I have found and told the community first ^^.
Dzierzan once I start doing YR I will see to it !
that was found early in the 2000s, youre late
Yuri Prime in RA2 is strong as well. Though he lacks movement above water, he makes up with a mind control range equal or slightly lower than the firing range of Grand Cannon😂
it's like double that of grand cannon, completely OP
In the first Allied mission, if you don't sink the Dreadnaughts, they'll eventually leave and you'll get a Mission Failure...

I don't get it? What's so significant about that building in particular?

The cows are friendly towards the Red Soviet base, but one of them is hostile to them and they'll send their dogs to maul those cows when the battlefield expands...

Soviet anti-aircraft... none of which can be seen anywhere...
This is highly sus...
Especially considering how capturing the base gives you Soviet Engineers and Huskies...

In the Pearl Harbour level, there's a Sentry Gun on a tiny island near your allies' base.
Destroy that before the Soviets deploy their MCV and you win since the win condition is "Destroy All Soviet Structures"
EDIT: And it was addressed in a later comment as an exploit not a neat trick... fair enough :)

They kept that refinery and crate in for Yuri's Revenge when you're the Soviets. Except I think the Allies put up some defences as well. But capturing the Refinery will spawn a crate with a Chrono Miner in it.
Here's another tip. I believe depending on what version of RA2, you can send a spy to infiltrate your own structures and getting their respective tech. This in essence mean you can get the Chrono commando as early as Mission 6 or 7 while able to train units at Veteran status.
>Chrono Commando
Well.
In standard gameplay, your Battle Lab needs to be in enemy possession before you can start training this type of soldier, so unless you let enemy engineers in, you can't pull this off.
By extension, this rule would most likely apply to these missions, too.

I don't know of you guys can relate, but when I used to be a kid I always found these by accident because I didn't know how to play the game (and back then I didn't even speak English lol)
You deserve more subscribers.
I always do this to find anything that would help me since I always had a hard time doing the mission when I was a kid
That bus though, really brilliant
