Who can remember Red Alert 2?

I booted this up a few weeks ago. It was kind of a pain to get working, but just as fun as I remembered.
 
Funny someone mentioned this actually, i was gonna play fallout 3 but i clicked the red alert 2 icon above it by accident, its ok i thought it will give me some "cd not in drive" error but no it started right up and forced me to watch that goddamn intro move again... I played a quick skirmish vs the AI and quit. Its so outdated lol, it was awesome in its time though, the last good C&C imo.
 
I'm not senile yet. Great game, but I suck at Multiplayer and my Nephew and his machine gun mouse clicking would have me rushed before I could finish my awesome Mega Base with some token Units scattered about.
 
Tried it on my 24"x3 eyefinity setup in portrait and landscape mode. It just would not span across the 3 monitors and instead just cloned it. It would be awesome to see the whole map and not have to scroll at all.
 
Red Alert 2 rocked!

I played it a lot in high school. A friend and I played against each other and on the ladder. At one time, I was ranked in the top 100! I think as high as 73ish?

I generally just rolled up with a huge mass of prism and mirage tanks. Of course the main issue there is no AA. So I'd spot a bunch of airships coming my way and panic and have to crank out IFVs. I also liked the American side because the dropped infantry were good to mass and amazingly effective in large numbers when bunked up with sandbags.

I was thinking about C&C a few weeks ago so I brought out C&C3 again. Awesome game as well. Just playing the campaign and skirmish right now. Not really good enough to be playing online anymore.

I liked Red Alert 2 vanilla, without Yuri's Revenge, then came the expansion pack, then I eventually stopped playing it. When I do re-install it I usually don't bother installing Yuri's Revenge, but vanilla RA2 is very good, and well balanced. The original Red Alert was better mostly because it was supported for years, it got a good number of expansion packs, extra missions, units, etc., and was also ported to various platforms, to this day I still remember the legendary Red Alert: Retaliation on the original PlayStation, and it was amazing.
