Red Alert 2 Remaster please EA 🙏🙏

Wish they would do a Generals remaster, my absolute favorite, RA 2 a close second.

Zero Hour in 9th place is just a crime. Its the best RTS content that was ever created in the history of videogames

this list makes me want to escape to the one place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism....*inhale*....*smirk*......SPACE!

RA2 and Generals will always be my favorite Especially RA2 cheesy cutscenes and General's challenges, they're so good

Tib Wars 3 and Kane’s Wrath will always hold a place near and dear to my heart. I hope it gets remastered.

Commando and Conquer generals and zero hour are the best c&c

Generals and C&C3 really came into their own with their expansions. I've probably played the Generals' Challenge mode more than any other single C&C game. C&C3 was pretty great in multiplayer too. Really the apex of the series and I'll agree with you on that one, which makes it all the more of a shame that they never produced any C&C games ever again after that, shut up

I would say RA2 would be my no 1, even if it is a game that introduced me to C&C and RTS games as a whole. it is also the one game i never actually get tired of. Despite the old age making it difficult to run, once you do it just fun. thats the things, the whole game is enjoyable and fun to play and i always fall back on it from all the C&C games.

Some people may get mad at your ranking list. I'm just mad that you blew up the mission critical structure at 14:13

Tiberian Sun has my favorite story, mood, feel, music, and design. It is the best C&C. I will die on this hill.

As a lifelong C&C fanatic.. I approve of this list.. and I'm quietly pleased to see Renegade making a pretty respectful position on the list!

The 17:1 collection just came out on steam. I never played C&C3 so here we go!

Everyone knows that the “Dune” strategy game is the true, best Command and Conquer title.

I will never forget starting CnC 3 and being greeted with the image of that outright hellscape and soul crushing music, it was such a perfect progression setting the mood for the rest of the game.

Uprising is often rated low due to its mediocre and short campaign but the challange mode that comes with it is one of the best experiences I had with the series. Playing through it on hard was such a blast. It turns former passive base building players into competitive ones.

I am somewhat intrigued to see what a strawpoll or some such would show off as a C&C ranking in your fanbase. I disagree a little, I'd put Tibsun higher than Tibwars and all that, but you prefer what you prefer and all that and I've enjoyed (almost) all C&C games as a whole with their own little niche

Agreed. To this day I still don't know if an RTS game I enjoy more than C&C 3 TW.

Commander, You've rained on my glorious parade. For this, I'm sending everything I got at you but I won't let you have the satisfaction of catching me. I'm escaping to the one place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism... SPAAACCEE!

CNC 3 was the first I ever played. I still play it. I first played when I was 8 and my uncle showed it to me. I would play for hours and hours in a dark corner of the house just to not get caught playing at almost 3am 😅 it will forever hold the tort h in my book

My all time favorite was Red Alert 2 ,and Yuri's Revenge. Loved them and literally have never even played the newest C&C's not once lol! I liked generals ,and zero hour ,they were okay. I did like the old Tiberian Sun ,and other as well. Not the newest ones though.

Glad to have found this channel when I was searching for C&C remastered reviews when it came out, keep up the great work

I might be a victim of nostalgia, but Red Alert gets the top spot in my own list. I remember spending hours on the shareware version, just playing the demo mission for hours, leaving just one guy in the enemy team alive and growing my army to a size where my computer would start acting up. Then I got the full version for the PS1, which I played over and over again despite the low-tier controls compared to the PC version. Just awesome memories with that one.

My first game when I was like 8 or 9 was Generals ZH, the challenge mode still is fun. Now I really enjoy RA2 and Tib Sun they feel so filled with depth.

Nice that Mental Omega gets a shout out. So many good Yuri's Revenge Mods

For me it has got to be the Remastered Collection because It has both Tib Dawn and Red Alert, otherwise I'd be picking one of them as the best. The first C&C was one of the first games I ever played and Red Alert was probably the game I've played most over my life! 27 years later and I still love playing them!

Tiberian Sun is the king of atmosphere and intrigue. It has it all. Earth is a barren alien planet with mysterious lifeforms that we only see a few of. Soldiers need life-support suits to thrive. Humanity has sci-fi technology but they're at the mercy of ion storms and the local fauna. All with a great soundtrack to boot (Dusk Hour) This setting could lend itself to a top-down RPG like Fallout quite well. It's a shame Tib Wars walked back on most of this.

can we just imagine not being addicted to zerohour, once you play it and get involved in the community there is no escape

RA2 was one of the first games I've ever played, and I played it a lot. So nostalgic

I have to say, Kane as a character gives me goosebumps everytime i see him. Best and pretty underrated villain outside the C&C community.

Fan-tastic! Although I don't agree with everything, you gave your best. That is pretty good in my book. Fair and expansion overview as usual. Thanks for sharing. Bravo!

Tiberian Sun was my favorite. And the multi-player with the bots and map creation was great.

RA3 will always be my favorite. I play it every single day, since the day it came out. Played it for both 360 and PC. I just never get tired of it.

Hey Zade. Been watching your vids for quite some time and I have to say, I've been an avid fan of the series since I was a wee lad and I have to say that I COMPLETELY AGREE with your top 5 and I was very happy to see Renegade get a pretty decent spot on the list too since I LOVED Renegade back in the day. Great vid mate.

Really appreciate your video series on CnC. Please keep it up!

Gotta give it to RA2, for introducing me to the series, and Generals: Zero Hour for adding the generals to Generals.

C&C Tiberium Wars and Red Alert 2 along with their expansion packs are the ones I'm most attached to. Good times I've had with Red Alert 2 in both single and multiplayer.

Wow, bellissimo video. La serie westwood/ commando& conquer la scoprii nel lontano 1996 e da allora mai smesso di amarla❤️. Saluti dall ‘Italia🇮🇹

i love CnC red Alert 2 not only because of how fun it is, but because of how small the file size is of the game and it is easy to put it on any computer

Red Alert Series will always be my favorites. The absurdity, humor all around fun, the charisma, unit design, it all went for RTS tropes and ran with it. It's like they realized warfare packed into the small format of an RTS can't be really serious and it's rather silly if you try to make it serious, so they went the completely different direction, making up wacky and crazy units that are very creative and fun, instead of imitating something sensible :)

I think a detail that should have been included in the Yuri's revenge segment was that it was (if I'm not mistaken) the first C&C entry to provide unique VOs for every unit. RA2 had standardized VO for all of each factions land vehicles (Rhino tank VO applied to all soviet vehicles). It was Yuri's revenge that gave each unit a unique VO, a trend that carried on to all subsequent series entries. The expansion gave us that great Apocalypse tank voice.

Im astounded by how no RTS developer team has ever taken the concept of Challenge mode from Zero Hour. It was 8 scenarios that had incredible replayability, for it was a unique experience to each general you picked, as the game had different counters like a rock paper scissors system. Even with 2 or more cut scenarios, you could still run through more than 63 missions before you had completed it all, just from 8 scenarios. That's incredibly efficient value. If we had the 2 missing generals to fight against, it'd be 81 missions. The only game that I know that replicates this is Northgard with its Conquest mode. In that game they even added scaling difficulty along with a new perk for each scenario, from a pool you could pick from. It gives you a new experience every time.

My favorite is RA3 due to its fast paced gameplay and it's cartoony art style. I get that it's not for some people but to me it's a very solid game.

Couldnt agree more! C&C3 is what got me into not only the series but also the genre as a kid. I spent at least a thousand hours on 3 alone, nevermind kanes wrath.

How is zero hour not no1. Its still got an active player base lol

C&C was my first online game. Westwood chat. Made a friend on there that I still chat with from time to time.

Man, I'd love to see a Red Alert 2 remaster with some quality of life changes. I'd love to play it with more refined controls we are used to from modern RTS games (attack move, proper shift-queuing come to mind)

There are soo many gems in this series that everyone can have their own favorite. For me c&c 1 (remastered) is the absolute #1 due to nostalgia but also the more sneaky resourcetight singleplayer missions than later installments. Also loved the walltricks to mess with the “AI”. #2 ra2. For me much later on the list are the 3d games.. they were fun but not something from my childhood.

Great list. Personally I would put Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2 above C&C3, but I think that's mostly childhood nostalgia talking.

I began on Red Alert 1, then mildly played the others until I got to CnC 3. That game is top notch and I love the squad features on the infantry, Nod designs, and firefights. It's almost untouchable.

@ 6:08 - What was the 3rd faction for Tib-Sun Firestorm? Is that a mix-up between RA2-YR?

Thanks for the video, pretty great trip down on nostalgia lane overall. I'd rank RA2:YR as first, that and Zero Hour surely surpassed their original game. Oh, and would rank Renegade waaay lower, that game's only saving grace was the cnc vibe when you compared it to the fps games of its time, and it only became duller since then. Also, I'd still love to see your take on Emperor:Battle for Dune. Soundtrack is among the very best OG Wsetwood put together, on par w RA2.

I've played C&C 3: TW/KW and RA3 since I was a kid playing on the Xbox 360, still love em to this day on PC.

My number 1 is Red Alert 3, the special ability each unit has open many ways to approach different situation, even though some of them are useless or weak at best. You didn't mention one C&C game though. Command & Conquer: Tiberium Alliances, F2P browser game. I can see why! I remember EA said that C&C 4 will be the last C&C even before it's release. Why? Take a break and give us a Generals 2 or RA 4 or something new (C&C in ancient times perhaps!). Why do they have to kill an excellent franchise? I hope for a remaster package with Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2 in the future, at least.

I love them all but the fact you put C&C3 in first place make me want to subscribe all over again.

Red Alert 2 is easily my favorite. I REALLY hope that gets remastered. Oh man :/

I'll be looking forward to the renegade review. loved that game

The Nostalgia is real 😍

Seeing how CnC Generals was well receive I still cant believe the didn't do a Remastered of it. I am thirsty for CnC Generals like game fooor soooo loooong.

watching the installation of the RA2 alone is wonderfull

We are devoted to this games and the Tiberium Saga, Tiberium Wars is the best of the whole series. Thanks for this fantastic video.

You are missing a game: Command & Conquer: Sole Survivor. It was an attempt to turn the game into a battle royal type game. In the game you played a single unit from the first C&C game against multiple players(I think up to 16). You had to grab crates from around the map to boost your character, but there were still mismatches like the commando vs a mammoth tank. It probably would be at the bottom of any game list.

For me Dune was probably most played game ever on my A500. C&C 1 when first released was a fascinating game that defined the genre. I didn't have a PC at the time so would occasionally go to my friends house who had a 360SX pc that could boot the game. RA was the game we would hot seat with classmates after school, it was good but nothing less, nothing more. So.. Generals was the prime of the genre. It combined the old and the new mechanics very well. Not to mention it was the first game that introduced a lot of people to MP rts.

The amount of time my buddy and I spent playing yuri’s revenge eating bowls of rolo ice cream in his basement all summer as kids. Man oh man watching this video gave me crazy nostalgia. I still have number 3 kickin around that I like to boot up now and then. I need to find a copy of number 2. I think the factions and the sprawling city’s made for great gameplay

Tiberian Sun will always be my favorite. Fantastic soundtrack. New technology. It’s dark and dystopian future really sold it for me. “KANE LIVES!”

Generals and ZH are by far the top of the list. for two reasons. FREE BUILD. and no unit caps. it took battles to a whole new level

I can't say anything about other RTS games as I have not played them but, as a generals player I do say putting generals above zero hour is criminal, it's an upgrade on all sides, new factions, the challenge missions and new campaign elevate it higher than the base game by a lot in my opinion.

Kane's Wrath and if you saying otherwise you are wrong...

Good list. Couldn't agree with your top picks more. CnC:RA2 was my favorite RTS for a long time, and the game I have the strongest nostalgia for, the truth is that CnC3:TW is just a better, more playable game.

I pretty much agree with your listing, C&C3, Tiberian Sun & RA2 at the top, hopefully Petroglyph, Lemon Sky & Jim Vessella get to give TS & RA2 + expansions the same treatment C&C Remastered Collection got in the near future.

The best C&C games for me are: Red Alert 2, Yuri's Revenge, Generals, Generals Zero Hour and Red Alert 3 (also Uprising)

Nice list, and for myself, c&c generals is just the way to go, all though c&c 3 is great, it just misses something (that feeling) that generals has. Great video by the way, keep it up :)

For me, the First C&C and first RA are my ALL time favorite. But Tiberian Sun and RA2 are Very good ones too.

Good list. For me Red Alert 2 is #1. The game of childhood pretty much.

the scrin twist was the only to blow me away 3 times in a row . first time when they intervened , then when i finished the game just to unlock a new menu , and finally when i knew we only dealt with the vanguard .

I strongly believe RA2 is the best and the expansion just makes it even better

When playing tiberium wars I loved it for quite a while and would play it for hours on end although I eventually got bored and almost moved on until I discovered Kane's Wrath which completely revived my entire outlook on the franchise. This made me go on to get other games and start getting involved with the community to the point where I would not be here watching this if Kane's Wrath didn't exist and I easily have at least 2x as many hours on it compared to tib wars. Tiberium wars is good but for me Kane's Wrath is just so much better

great list, and i think i agree with you on most of it, though i swear i was the only person to somewhat enjoy Tib. Twilight. I still have no clue why that's the case, I guess I just thought some of the units looked cool and my first CnC game was Generals, so I wasn't as dedicated to the Tiberian saga as most fans were. Either way, great list, enjoyed watching it also yeah, can we see your cat in your next vid? pretty please :P

Love Red Alert 2 and Yuri expansion. Haven’t played much the others. Good to know I haven’t wasted my time playing those two😄👍🏻

Sometimes i love data spying. I just replayed the red alert series a week ago along with finally playing cnc 4 to ginish the story. Now you are on my feed.

Your list is incredibly(or maybe less so) close to mine.I think it would make a perfect cnc3 remaster with tiberium war's campaign plus kane's wrath's fractions and units(of course the campaigns should be adjusted accordingly),at least it's the best we can hope for now given the state of things.

My list 1.Red Alert 2 and its expansion(Yuri's revenge) - now playing it on my android phone via exagear..so enjoyable 2.C&C Generals and its expansion Zero Hours 3.Red Alert 3

Ra3 and generals are my faves with kanes wrath as a close 3rd

I remember the absolute rage to comically levels now I look back at the reveal of Rivals, but a few months later I did try it and its a great time waster when you're sat at work with nothing to do. I guess its like a lot of mobile games, something bitesized to waste your time while you're waiting for something, just pick your flavour really.

I have so much love and nostalgia for the original game. I had it for the Sega Saturn, it was my very first C&C game. I remember swapping between four games on my beloved Saturn, playing Tomb Raider, Alien Trilogy, Street Racer and C&C. I had more Saturn games later, such as Nights Into Dreams, Clockwork Night 1 & 2, Bug and Sonic 3D. Good old times.

Not gonna lie I love the constant shade on C&C4. Lol.

Great video mate. Solid list. Agree with most of the places. lol

You know, nostalgia had me fuming a little seeing Yuri's Revenge only coming in at #2, but I have to admit Tiberium Wars was a stellar effort, and a fantastic addition to the series, long awaited. I'm gonna play that one again thanks to your list!

All is quite good but Generals and Zero Hour is committed the special place in my heart💛💙 Best wishes from Ukraine!

I started with Red Alert, the one, which than had the TibWars timeline and the Red Alert timeline. Personally, i´m more a fan of the Tib Wars timeline, because it´s more dark than Red Alert. And i like grim dark games and stories

tiberium wars was the best cnc since generals :) loved kanes wrath expension prob just as much as yuris revenge :)

I agree with your list when we now look back on the saga. But at the time of release, C&C classic was the best. The C&C3 campain was the best experience for me. After playing GDI and NOD I thought that was it, and as a surprise, a new faction appeared, one more campain! One of the best moments in gameplay history of my life. I bough the complete saga but every single game had issues running on Windows 10. Not sure how they can even sell it...

I love rivals. It’s super fun. It’s like speed checkers if c&c is regular chess.

One of the first lists that I can accept, id change a few but still a good video.

One of the best metal game soundtracks, Frank Klepacki & the Tiberian sons really rock

C&C 3 and Kane's Wrath FTW!!! C&C Renegade having a special place in my heart too. It was a great FPS at the time.

I would go with generals zero hour being my no.1

Gonna need to go into hiding after this one

Cool video, so.. Are you going to rank the best cnc games mods now?
