Let's Play Command & Conquer Red Alert

lol, really weird how they attack these walls... I wonder why they did that.

I suppose the walls offended them in some way.  XD

This isn't exactly my favorite mission. The map is designed to make maneuvering as obnoxious as possible, and the edges of the map feel really artificial here.

Both version of this misson feel the same.

Both version of this misson feel the same.

 

Thats because they are the same.

[TaxOwlbear]

Thats because they are the same.

I think what he meant is that they feel exactly the same despite the maps being slightly different. The other redundant missions have more variety e.g. the bridge mission has different starting units (like the artillery), the first Soviet lorry mission has the Allied base at different positions, and Tanya's Tale has very different map layouts.

[Jacko]

I mean that the missions are so similar it almost seems a bit of a waste to have two different missions there.

Almost like they were too lazy to write extra mission content.

[Allen508]

TaxOwlbear

Yes.

 

Jacko

That too.

I forgot about that mission. As I can recall. (lots of)Migs/(4?)Yaks and paratroopers/bombs where my tools entirely.

With a wall of submarines just like how you did. And 2 x 8 heavy tank defence.

No tesla's since I used my energy and space for the migs/yaks.

Oh, those cruisers. Damn are they cheap!

 

Also, only five missions left!

Here's the whole thing all over again, but with more planes and less choppers:

You restarted this mission, didn't you?

Your V2 clearly has more health suddenly.

 

Doesn't matter.

This is one of those missions that I dislike doing. Just like the chrono protect mission.

 

[TaxOwlbear]

Yes. After the first start, the Allies steamrolled me, so I just re-did that part. I didn't want to re-do the commentary, though, so I just took the first part from the old recording.

[X3M]

To increase your fanbase. Accept the loss. And make it funny while at it.

 

I can't find, the, video, where he lost. But I recommend Artega Omega for you (or any one else here) to watch.

You might get some inspiration from it.

 

Watch the TD series since they are complete. There is a decent dry amount of dry humour in it. You might like it (or hate it). (Its also the DOS version, which makes is more fun)

 

It starts here.

Let me know what you think.

[TaxOwlbear]

I wish he wouldn't chop his LPs into 17-minute bits. I'll give his channel a shot, though.

[X3M]

Well, the old youtube allowed for less lengthy video's.

[TaxOwlbear]

Here's the second mission where we try to get our hands on the Iron Curtain. This mission was broken in some RA1 version and could only be finished by destroying all blue units, but thankfully, not for me.

Here is the last Chronosphere mission:

it's also the game's penultimate mission. After this, only the invasion of England remains.

[TaxOwlbear]

Here we go: The very final mission of Red Alert!

Until I play the secret ant missions, the add-on and the other add-on, that is.

 

[X3M]

Interesting. Can you land on that beach in the southwest?

 

I just tested this. Yes you can.

 

Also trapped the truck in that mission. Destroyed everything except the truck. To bad they don't give you a bonus for that.

 

I loved these series. And will continue to watch your red alert 2 series.

 

Would like to know if you are going to do the Tiberian Sun missions too after Red Alert 2?

[TaxOwlbear]

I will LP all C&C main games, promise. I'm not sure when I'll do TS, though, the reason being that I did a coop LP for RA3. So I will either do TS after RA2 and give RA3 the Tuesday or Thursday slot, or the other away round.

[X3M]

Great to hear that you will do them all.

 

I think that a lot of people are wondering if you also will do the aftermath etc. missions of Red Alert.

Afterall, you did them for TD as well.

[TaxOwlbear]

I think I mentioned that during the RA1 credits, but I think I'll make a video update on that.

[X3M]

I think I mentioned that during the RA1 credits, but I think I'll make a video update on that.

 

Hah, no. You posted that under the link to the final mission. I didn't noticed it until now.

You don't mention it in the credits at all. Only that you will now begin with Red Alert 2.
