Is look old, but is not, RA1 was the best RTS with Warcraft 2 and other RTS good games, this game is like a mod but is not a mod of TD, he uses the "Westwood 2D engine" named by me "C&C 1 Engine", the game is more correct realized then TD, is more realistic then TD, is more compatible with new OS, is more funny and more nice gameplay. The improvements are many and littles, but this was the first Red Alert, this start the RA Series, without it maybe the series doesn't start.

Westwood make after 5-6 years on a new engine with the same name "Westwood 2D engine" and named by me "C&C 2 Engine", they had make TS (game n#2 of Tiberium Series), this new engine added new
features like Alliance, Group Selection, 3D perspective, more detailed GFX (256 colors but with more PALs), this new engine with his new features has make TS a good game but the problem was too little infantry, some same errors like in TD and more other, but to repair those errors and continue the RA Series a new game appeared named "C&C Red Alert 2", this new game his after 1 year will have the expasion pack "Yuri's Revenge" , this new game get a lot of nice new features
like more alliance, start point, automated ore miner, more detailed units, nice detailed fields, realistic maps. This game have many mods, many maps, big community but EA Games killed Westwood after Westwood finish and release Renegade (a FPS game of TD, with a new engine "W3D", after EA do this they have kill and C&C with his new games like Genereals (this game was the stupid game of all C&C series), C&C 3 (very stupid) and RA3 (Extremely Stupid). We wait for Westwood to reappear or the C&C series will not be like TD,RA1,RA2,TS,YR and Renegade.
