![]() ![]() Keep units of like grouped together, but also have a few groups of mixed units for those special situations. Never attack units that have an advantage over your own. Tanks are very vulnerable to air attacks, anti-air units ( such as IFV's, Gattling Tanks, or Flack Tracks) are vulnerable to tanks, troops are vulnerable to everything and are pretty much worthless except in large numbers ( more on that later). Chances are he won't take the gamble and engage your army if he isn't up to speed yet.ģ) Paper, rock, scissors: Every unit has advantages and weaknesses. Attack just enough to get his attention, then withdraw to your larger force. Scout out his base early ( this is usually done with Attack Dogs or Brutes) and use quick units to attack any unguarded buildings. Nothing is more annoying than hearing "unit lost" and not knowing where it came from. Attack any lone units wandering around the map. If the other player is the turtle up type, take the opportunity to pepper him with hit and run attacks. Bring the fight to them, force him to defend and usually he'll stay that way the whole game.Ģ) Annoy, annoy, annoy: From the Art of War by Sun Tzu: "When the enemy attacks, we retreat. If it comes down to you defending your base against his 30+ tank rush chances are you're going to lose. ![]() Move your tanks within striking distance of his base early on. Most people either rush straight out the gate and hit you with everything they've got, or turtle up and try to build a massive force to steamroll over you later. Now, prepare to whup some serious ass at the sexiest RTS series ever made by man, period.ġ) The best Defense is a good Offense: Half the time in games like these whoever attacks first usually wins. If you don't have that game you are a loser, seriously. The following tactics could conceivably be used in any RTS game but apply specifically to C&C RA2: YR. And so, I'd like to give you all some helpful hints as to how you can too kick some major ass at Yuri's Revenge. And I found that all the players are pretty new, as they all consistently fall for the same tricks over and over again. So I was overjoyed that I could go back to pwning whiney n00b arse like a year had never passed. Looks like a lot of them are from Europe, the far East, etc. Not the several hundred you could find a few years ago, but enough to get a game going in a decent amount of time. But recently RA3 just turned out to be pure awesomeness! And in its excitement I have been working on this tut since before RA3's release, didn't get the time to finish it off but now I am finally done.Ī few months ago I was surprised to see that a lot of people still play this game on-line. It sucks that since Westwood got bought by EA games it seemed like we'll never see another C&C game that's any good ( C&C Generals, while decent, just doesn't do the series justice in my opinion). Westwood was the company that put Real Time Strategy games on the map with the ground breaking Dune II ( the actual very first RTS game was Hertzog Zewi for the Sega Genesis, and it's not too bad for a game of it's time). I actually stopped playing for about a year as everyone seemed to use hax or trainers. Yes, I know this game is more than a few years old. Get that Age of Empires or Starcraft crap out of my face. Of course, this means the creation of new units, structures, and a storyline to introduce it.Strategies and Tactics for Red Alert2: Yuri's Revenge! Beta Ṁr_Ṗerisherįor real time strategy, there is absolutely no substitute for Command and Conquer. The player's character takes on the role of an AI. This faction uses highly advanced tech and was formed during Yuri's rise to power. The Foehn Revolt is "an alliance of people from many nations driven by a single cause". It started off as a mod that added more missions for the Allies, Soviets, and Yuri's Epsilon Army, but eventually evolved into an unofficial sequel featuring a fourth faction. The mod has been developed by Speeder and Mevitar, who started work on the project almost 15 years ago. Well, if you're itching to get more Red Alert 2 content, you can check out the Mental Omega mod for the Yuri's Revenge expansion (Thanks PCGamesN). The original Command & Conquer and Red Alert spin-off did get remasters, but their more popular sequels are yet to receive the same treatment. While the AoE series was popular for its historical setting and units, Red Alert 2 let players live out their Red Dawn fantasy with modern unit types. ![]() If you're currently enjoying Age of Empires 4, chances are that you probably enjoyed Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 back in the day.
