For me (OWA) it was the game that inspired me to seek a career in the games industry. It featured a single expansion which came around a year later in the form of the fantastic 'Yuri's Revenge'.įor many of us here at C&C Community, Red Alert 2 is a special game. The game was built off of a pre-release branch of the Tiberian Sun engine (which is why certain features from TS weren't moddable in the past).
Sunday marks the 20th anniversary of one of the most popular games in the C&C franchise Command & Conquer Red Alert 2! The game was developed by Westwood Pacific (a studio that EA had opened after their acquisition of Westwood in years prior) and thus was the first standalone C&C title to be mainly developed by a studio outside of the original team at Westwood Las Vegas.
