I don't usually do this sort of articles since I am not that active on PC gaming, but given the significance of the series, this will be an exception. Among many RTS titles, Red Alert 2 was one of the most well known series during the RTS Boom era on PC gaming even compared to its Command and Conquer brethren. As a millenial kid, I played this game quite a lot back then even if I sucked at RTS considering it is a popular titles on Internet cafe along with games like Diablo 2 and Counterstrike. After being neglected by EA for more than 2 decades, recently this legendary game made some reappearance with the help of dedicated fans as a game called Red Alert 2 Apocalypse Rising.
After 25 years making a name as RTS games, using modded version of C&C Renegade, RA2 Apocalypse Rising offers a hands-on view on RA2 universe through FPS/3rd Person Shooter format. Basically it is a Red Alert 2 version of Starwars Battlefront/Battlefield where players could use all sorts of RA2 units from Allied/Soviet faction ranging from Conscript/GI to the iconic vehicles like Kirov/Apocalypse/Prism Tank. From what I observe, this fan project is still in-progress but the end result would be something to behold. This is really a good way for the Old fans to relive their memories with RA2 and a this sort of Game format would work really well with 40k series as well.
