A very important hotkey: if you press 'C', your entire army will cheer.

20 years later and I am still learning new tips about the game

So that's why MCVs can have primary building selection... That's one more mystery unveiled.

wait holy shit you can put harriers into the repair yard?

I didn't know about the Alt key, no more accidental selection when trying to group forces together. thanks a lot.

Amazing how this 20 year old game still thrives and have much more content and complexity than today's offerings.

IT'S 2020 AND 2 MONTHS INTO THE QUARANTINE, AND MY MAN HERE IS STILL PLAYING RED ALERT 2! It's amazing to see how this game ages gracefully. Keep these up!

U can choose separate ur units with different promotions by pressing "Y" One click =none promoted Double click=veteran Triple=Elite

Me, for most of the video: Oh, hey, those are some pretty neat tips! Me at 12:02 : I'm sorry, *WHAT*

i thought i knew most of stuff but i have realised that there is more to learn. especially that hiding planes and repairing technique. it blew my mind. thanks for making this video

Finally someone shows how to cancel big stacks of units, I've been trying to figure it out for 20 years 😂😂😂 thank youuu

10:02 Space takes you to the last event that occurred. There's a t missing.

So we gonna ignore the Stealth Harriers?

3:18 another useful tip: buildings can be set to teams too. Personally, I use Ctrl+0 for WFs, Ctrl+9 for Barracks. Of course, you have to hold T and then select each new production structure then "recreate" the teams. Save trouble with rally points. Fun fact: rally points were a thing since TS, but there you needed Alt+LMB; that meant TS could have rally points and mobile factories. RA2YR don't have that luxury, not even Mental Omega.

Waypoints are mainly used to test whether units deal the same damage.

just when you think theres not htat much content left

It seems like I have been playing this game for a long time and thought that she would not surprise me anymore, but the Harriers in the building yard ... And thanks for the tip with the route markers: a blitzkrieg capture will now be more convenient.

Actually the N key doesn't select unit randomly, it will select the unit on top of the map

This is not exactly useful in multiplayer matches, or at least not to my knowledge, but another cool feature regarding waypoints are patrols. You can create a minimum of 2 points before using your 3rd/last point on your 1st. They will then Attack Move from point to point and continue looping until you give orders otherwise.

Btw, In RA3, the hotkeys are repositioned so it's easier to reach them. F is for special Abilities, Z is sell and C is repair. Space do the same thing, H is moving the camera to your MCV. A + R. Click is attack move, D + R. Click Is reverse move. So basically fitting for WASD hand position.

Some useful Tips - build miner by building ore refinery and sell it. That way you got miner + a little bit money from selling refinery and can focus on building another tanks instead. - Base walking. If ore or gem is too far you can build a structure like refinery next to each other ,sell previous refinery, build another one repeat until you can place ore refinery close to ore or gem . This trick also work if you want to build grand cannon next to enemy base. - Focus on gem first. More money more armies.

After over 15 years of owning this game i never knew you could cancel rally points for a building

Man this is cool i wish i learned this when i was playing this years ago

Use of basic hotkeys definitely helps players mobilise their armies faster. This is a strategy a player must know to ace matches and become pro. Too bad the newbie at the end doesn't get this all worked out. PWNED AT THE END 😅😝 On another note, you can send Harriers/Black Eagles to Service Depots with the Alt movement??? Now that's something I should take note if I want to repair Harriers/Black Eagles quickly.

Using a Chronosphere and engineers inside transport vehicle is the best way to attack your enemy especially when playing with other players

thank you for this tips honestly im only know hotkey Z,D,T and crtl+number

Wow just wow. The thing you did with the harriers at the end. 🤔🤔.

1:36 selecting both teams can be done by holding Shft + number. Here it was 1, then Shift+2

A deployed GI can kill an enemy's attack dogs sent to scout our base when facing the exact comming direction of the dog without truning around first. To adjust the pointing direction of the GI, use 'ctrl' to force shoot the ground of the predictive comming path of the ememy's attack dog, then press 's' to end the meaningless da-da-da.

Also some of the hot keys are available since birth of the old C&C games

Amazing as always! I really like your tutorials, keep up the insanely good work TG! :D Ur the best ;)

im not surprised that im still learning about this old game. good job!

I've learned some of these by accident like the Alt Movement, Basic QWER Buttons, X (scatter) hotkey, Basic Z Tactical Waypoint (didn't know about the garrisoning one though), and the T Selection. Thanks for letting me know mate. Been playing Ra2 [YR]: Triple Power Mod for 16 years.

wow there are still stuff i forgot or didt know about! great vid

Maan you are amazing! Been looking for this kind of video for playing the game in a more practical way, thank you so much!

Next video: Tips on how to speedrun the game

i know some of these shortcuts in generals also some of them the same in redalert 2 and all command and conquers Q select all units in screen, 2nd Q select all units you have W select aircraft in screen, 2nd W select all air in map select a unit and E select all the same type of unit in screen, E again in all map s = stop unit from moving hold Alt = plan attack hold ctrl = attack anywhere space = showbase if i am not mistaken CTRL 1234567890 = put a number into a unit so when u click the number u select it "also works with buildings" Shift """i think""" to select units spread of each others, "when u hold mouse to select" and many others

These tips are awesome, thanks!

All this time sending my airplanes to die when I could have had them repaired?! >:(

how many harriers can you hide in base buildings ?

You forgot about how connecting waypoints will turn into a loop and also guard mode which activated by pressing G which i never fully understood

this was the best tutorial video ever

Another use of waypoint is creating a pincer attack on the enermy's base. This become extremely useful when you want to overwhelm your opponent's defense such as tesla coil, prism tower.

As always... Learning new things... Great job.. 😍😍

Thank you dude, very cool channel, glad that someone else is interested in this game, and especially reveals useful things I experimented a lot with it before, but it turns out I didn't know many things And the ability to set targets for units after disembarking from the transport, this is a boom dude, so many opportunities have opened up I need to download again this treasure ;p

Didn't notice if it was mentioned. One more important waypoint usage: you can loop the path. It is extremely useful for patrolling territory, e.g. defending your building from spies or engineers.

Thanks Alot man. You deserve appericiation 🙌

Tried and I say this is invaluable for your gameplay

thank you it was very instructive

11:50: HOLYSHIT, I didn't know we can repair aircraft by that way

This video is perhaps the most useful video of this month

5:58 thats new to me, how i never knew that

11:55 now THAT is useful.

I’ve never seen the aeroplane be fixed like that before. The alt move command is ace

anyone know Ctrl + C for “far construction” ? i used it to troll my friends by placing nuclear plant right into their base lol

this has to be your best video

Thank you for those .

Thank you for that video.

I had no idea you could repair aircraft with the service depot.

10:37 not all units are selected, and units you might not want to be selected are. Subs are not selected using P, Harriers and Black Eagles are selected using P, for example.

tq bro very useful tips, also what is the g button used for? will there be a pt2 to this?

CNCNet allows hotkey reconfiguration so I can change many of those hotkeys to my liking. Nevertheless, it is always good to have the habit of setting up and using hotkeys.

thanks bro!!

i actually put the repair button to ` button (left side of 1 in laptops) since its easier specially in case someone did superweapon in my base

The ending tho It's me playing noobie vs 1 brutal. Back at where I can't stand against 1 brutals when I was like 8... now I'm 20 and still had trouble with the brutals ×_× awful me

Control or command is the best hotkey ever

Tg pro :O

Holy shit I never knew attack move exists in RA2

I never knew Harriers can be repaired in service depot 😂

Force attacking your own tesla coil with tesla trooper will make it charge it up, tthen you dont have to move and hold position

I didn't know you can cancel a rally point! Damn.

Очень классное видео! Жду еще!

11:46 no way! 😮

This background music is really like the one in Plague Inc (although not really the same one).

New invention as always 🤣🤣

Got a question, will Iron curtain/force shield remain active if you have a unit deploy or undeploy? Try using it with Ares and a mod installed. C&C reloaded has units other than construction yards that can deploy.

Wait, you can put units into attack mod and make them advance while attacking enemies on their way? Shit, I thought that was only possible in RA3!

I've a few questions about the RA3 Uprising grinder. Can a charging grinder be made to go even faster if pulled forward by M-harpoon? Can grinder charge ability be used to escape things like M-harpoon or magnetic singularity?

10:53 Actually, that's Crush move. Its use is ordering tanks to crush infantry instead of just firing at them.

What's the music playing in the background? Sounds awesome!

Hi. How can I add a group of units in a building queue instead of one click->plus one unit? And how to cancel all of the group? This question was commented as solved in comments, but I couldn't find it in the video. Great video btw.

What is the background music Please share if you know

This music is really good mood building stuff. Who did it and what is the track?

What's the name of the music? I really like it.

If Harriers can land on other structures, why would they need to blow themselves up when the airfield is destroyed anyway?

12 years old me: One finger to rule them all Or to be ruled by all:-P

can you build power plant ore refinery barrack war factory airforce command centre in 1 minute i can

How to move screen with out using the mouse to touch the sides?

Is there a hotkey to select and produce multiple same units at once (just like 9:52) instead of pressing the left click for multiple times? 11:50 wtf how... maybe I should not be surprised by anything I see on this channel, haha

wow, shift + right click

btw someone know if someone testing units in c&c3 tib wars /kane wrath? i know THE JB does it for red alert 3/ uprising, and i still searching for people testing units and stuff in generals/zero hour for the rest of the games (dawn,sun,ra1 ) i have RC1985, and renegade and renegade x well i dont know.

How to use attack mode /command?????

You should end with someone mixing the repair and sell hotkeys lol

may i ask a question? how can you move the screen like that?

Sometimes it's hard to listen to what younger kids have to say about modern RTS games being better. But after watching R2 Yuri hotkeys care to explain this kid?

Hey Do you ever know that actor stalin in red alert 1 and oleg actor red alert 3 is dead now?

Если выбрать машину, зажать Альт и кликнуть на вражеского пехотинца, то машина будет пытаться его раздавить. Очень полезно при командовании танками и хроношахтёрами.

How to train/build 5 units at once ?

The video quality for me is poor ol 240p

2:25 only work on ra2 yr?
