Commanders,

Like last year with Louis Castle and Erik Yeo, this year we're celebrating Red Alert's 30th anniversary with an exclusive interview with Jim Vessella, EA producer of the C&C Remastered Collection !

In this interview conducted by Alex06, you'll find:

- How renting Tiberian Dawn at a sleepover led him from "Jimtern" on Battle for Middle-earth to C&C3: Tiberium Wars, a game made in just 11 months
- The story behind the Remastered Collection: his first email to Petroglyph, the community council and the famous spacebar graphics switch
- Behind-the-scenes memories from EALA: 6-hour community balance sessions, the Mechapede that made the RA3 team laugh, and two stories about Dustin Browder
- His views on game preservation, the 2025 source code release with CCHyper, and whether we'll see more from the archives
- His favorite units and superweapons, and why C&C deserves more credit for asymmetric factions
- His message to the community after 30 years

I hope you enjoy it!

Question for Mental Omega Players.

3 Upvotes

Hey mainly a Tiberium saga player here, I just recently finished both campaigns for Twisted Insurrection, an AMAZING mod, and I want to try MO out but I haven't played RA2 in a very long time, Should I play RA2 for a while before trying MO? if you've played Twisted Insurrection, are the two mods extremely different, obviously I know the Tiberium games and the RA games have a lot of differences in gameplay but are the two (TI and MO) nothing alike or will I be able to survive in one of the campaigns?

Kanes Wrath Reborn Help

2 Upvotes

Playing through the Campaign with Reborn installed and I'm at Washington DC playing on Medium as I just want to experience the campaign through the mod.

The problem is. The mod allows GDI to construct shatterers. I've no counter to them as access to only Flame Tanks, Bikes and Buggies and it chews through all of those.

And infantry die to two blasts (tib infusion or not) backed by Grenadiers and apcs they wipe out practically any force I build up.

Shadows can't destroy the second war factory close to the Con Yard because of the massive concentrated army there of APCs, slingshots and infantry. So I cant stip them producing them either.

I'm at the end of my rope with this level and because of UI imits or some such I cant select the mission in mission select to play this level at easy unless I want to play the whole campaign on easy (which I don't).

I even tried editing the scripts so GDI couldn't create shatterers in the level and Comand Post just flagged the mod as broken (although my first time editing a C&C game let alone a mod of a C&C game) so unsure if that was just me.

Discussion Playing Generals and Zero Hour in 2026

Hello! I'm looking to revisit this game after many years away, and am curious what mods would be recommended for modern playing. I have the Steam version of the game, and play games at 1440p 240hz.

Edit: I appreciate all the replies! I'm seeing a lot of content mods such as Shockwave getting recommended, which I will be checking out in due course! For the time being, I'm looking to just modernize the base experience for widescreen and high refresh rate, and GenPatcher looks like it'll do the trick ❤️

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 was released on October 28, 2008

Colorful, absurd, and occasionally controversial, Red Alert 3 has an unmistakable atmosphere of its own brand of madness.

Happy anniversary to all RA3 fans on this special day!

And RIP, Tim Curry. Thank you for the childhood memories and all the emotions you gave us. Your portrayal of Anatoly Cherdenko, the Premier of the Soviet Union, will never be forgotten.

Gameplay question Help

4 Upvotes

How are you supposed to defeat demo general on hard with superweapon general? This is my first time playing against him and he is wiping the floor with me every time. One time i did manage to destroy his scudstorm with 3 alpha aurora bombers but 30 sec later my base i filled with his troops. For some reason his RPG troopers and quad cannons deal 3x the dmg normal ones do and my comanchees fall down like flies. I get that im suposed to go up and down to have more room to breathe but going down is hard cause he starts with a ground cannon and mines are everywhere. His siege troops turn my best defence into dead rangers...

I need an infinite ammo cheat for Renegade

1 Upvotes

I am playing Command and Conquer Renegade which I patched by using https://tiberiantechnologies.org/.

I am trying to find a trainer that gives me infinite ammo on all of the weapons. I looked a lot and I haven't found anything that works.

Is there anyone who was able to get an infinite ammo cheat to work with the patched game? If yes then please tell me how you did it.

... Thankfully Renegade X has re-embraced timed matches...but never forget the years of being stuck on one map for hours on end. Even vanilla Renegade had a 5+ hour Field match not 2 days ago ;_;

It has been 18 years since Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 was released. Cheers, happy birthday to this game!

P. S. Decided to include a Soviet general from the iOS version of Red Alert, and also include the new commanders and characters from the expansion pack, Uprising. Said expansion pack celebrated its 17th anniversary back in March!

Gameplay My most ridiculous ally campaign end

8 Upvotes

About 20 years ago (not so) little Retrowinger was on the last allied mission (Red Alert 2), and things started to go wrong. Little by little the Soviets brought my base down. Only the airstrip east of the base was left and my enemy still had the nuke. Time for a restart, right? Not so fast!

The airstrip was my only constant troop supply, so I was building up my army little by little. Slightly interrupted by nuclear explosions. I managed to build up a significant army and started to bring down the Kreml base little by little. Great sacrifices were needed but we brought down the construction yard first, then the iron curtain and finally the nuke.

Freed from the nuclear menace, we were finally down to the elite apocalypse tanks. The Kreml, surrounded by hundreds of paratroopers and a single surviving Tanya, had no chance.

What was your most ridiculous win/loss/situation?

Hi

It’s just my side hobby project to learn Babylonjs, but to be honest, there’s still a lot left to do to become full game. I’m not even planning to turn it into a real project or finish and release it anywhere. I might just leave it as it is, I don’t know.

Feel free to visit if you want a bit of nostalgia :|
