allies are always the gimmicky OP ones like irl

WE WILL NEVER SURRENDER, DEATH TO THE ALLIES

>>713242815 (OP)
It will be a silent spring

>>713242815 (OP)
Allies then Yuri then Empire then Soviets

>>713247186
Haha what a losers

Which one was the metafag pick in base RA2? To my understanding France and Yuri are often banned in YR at least

>>713242815 (OP)

Better yet what was the strongest faction and why is it the UK

Pop one in an elite IFV and become death - destroyer of infantry

>>713248202
what?

>>713248327

Dunno. Grand Cannons were kind of meh?

>>713242815 (OP)
I think Allies are better overall, but what do i know I just play campaigns.
>Spy sat
>Prism tank's range can't be stopped like V3
>Funny erasure stuff with legionnaires
>IFVs
Maybe they aren't better but they're definitely more fun. Russia is the unga bunga tanks strong army which is fun in its own way.

>>713242815 (OP)
I dunno, but ra2 was fucking insane. I can't believe they fucked up the ra franchise, it was literally like some kind of money tree, it just spat out free easy money...

>RA2
Prism Tanks + Mirage Tanks

>YR
Battle Fortress + Sniper + 2 Chrono Legionnaires + 2 Guardian G.I.

I never play PvP. Players suck the fun out of everything.

>>713248374
Maybe in a game where you actually make infantry. Which RA2 is not.

Epsilon

>>713242815 (OP)
those are not red alert 2 faction logos.

>>713249502
Maybe not, but that's still a heckin' nice looking poster.

>>713248451
>look it up
>France player base walking up to the opponents to place cannons on a smaller map for overall map control

Alright yeah, makes sense.

>>713242815 (OP)
Out of these two? Allies with American paratroopers. Soviets are just a shitty faction overall and only Iraq is worth using. Demo trucks are decent but costly and you pretty much need an iron curtain to get them safely into the the enemy's base, tesla tanks have shitty range and even though they can shoot over walls enemy tanks can destroy the wall and engage teslas directly, and finally

Lol, lmao.

RIP

>>713249965

Yeah that'd do it

>>713248327
Iraq because soviet in general was the to go faction with Rhino tanks and then desolator for the area denial and potential to one shot all the opponent's dogs with the aoe attack

>>713250293
Why do you need them? These games are already out. Red Alert 2 is even being given away for free by EA.

>>713251412
>is even being given away for free
it's not and the game needs a refresh to attract more players

>>713251412
Harder to run on newer systems and bugs?

>>713248776
Faggot hands typed your post.

>>713251412
I think Tib Sun and RA2 could use one solely because the UI is so backed into the game it doesn't quite run well unless you play at low res. All the 3d games work fine

>>713243853
Yes, yes, HOWEVER

good old times...

anyone else do this in c&c games?

Soviets were only good for meme strategies
Allies were better in every single way

>>713250293
They lost the source codes during while they transfered from WW to EA.

>>713256965
This is God's blessing. No one will desecrate this beautiful game.

>>713256737
what about the empire and yuri?

>>713254748
I have to say that RA2 was more kino than RA3. The 3 is just stupid.

>>713255004
You know that GLA black market used to have a little ICBM inside their center pinnacle, that could be fired at enemies, right?

man, people are discussing this game as if it had even a shred of balance

the entire multiplayer of this game was just shitting out the basic tanks and dogs to soak up enemy tank fire. I think the soviets were a bit better at this so everyone played them.

>>713257063
>3 is just stupid.
Well, you just build tanks and go rush someone else's base. Nobody said this game is for geniuses.

>>713257063
Bait. 2 was shit story wise. At least three was supposed to be a goofed up future.

>>713257063
Maybe RA2, but YR was pretty silly and on par with 3 in my opinion

I have no idea what the online meta was, but when a couple of my friends and I used to play RA2 and YR, we reached the conclusion that the only way to win with Soviets is to either rush the other player with rhino tanks. If the Soviets let the Allies or Yuri tech up at all, then Soviets just get rolled. Yuri is on a similar clock when playing against Allies, but he's got a lot more time than the Soviets, especially if superweapons are enabled and you can catch a good blob of Ally vehicles with the psychic dominator. Once the Allies build up a large mass of prism tanks, the only thing that can defeat them is an even larger mass of prism tanks. RA2 and YR were both supreme kino, but they weren't exactly balanced for competitive play.

>>713242815 (OP)
Pre or after Yuri's Revenge?

>>713258939
>were both supreme kino, but they weren't exactly balanced for competitive play.
This is a typical Westwood style, the main goal is fun

>>713257045
Don't really remember RA3's balance, but all three factions were viable
Yuri could either demolish you or fold with a slight breeze. Still better than the Soviets

>>713258939
>we reached the conclusion that the only way to win with Soviets is to either rush the other player with rhino tanks
That's because it is the meta in online matches, players also use attack dogs to soak up some damage from tanks.

>>713242815 (OP)
Soviets were competitive in RA2 only and if you didn't secure an early game advantage you were fucked because their high-tech units were all memes.

>>713255004
I find it endearing, but maybe because they are the last vestige of a time I am nostalgic for.

>>713261645
>Soviet is supposed to have better tanks
>Apoc will just get melted by Prism tanks
lol
lmao

>>713261529
>Don't really remember RA3's balance
Almost equaly balanced. But soviet bullfrog aka anti-air is not as good as the others. They are like WC3 hippogriffs good against air but otherwise useless.

>>713254557
>get rid of hot Tanya and replace we with autistism Tanya.
Why?

>>713262029
Yeah, RA3 Soviet doesn't really have good AA units.
Apoc does fuck up King Oni, Destroyer or Mirage though.

>>713261529
imo Imperials are pretty busted due to being able to expand anywhere on the map thanks to nanocore tech

>>713262752
Their buildings are still more expensive, and they still suffer a little from 'yo you need to spend money to upgrade to higher tier' while Soviet just needs to build a super reactor and Battle Lab.

>>713249329
You spam dogs to shield your rhinos - and to kill the enemy dogs shielding their rhinos

>Making any infantry besides engineers, commando, or initiates.

Wow I love throwing money away!

>>713264114
Ah, the master move, making a Sniper + IFV in a Sov vs Sov matchup.

I didn't want to create another thread just to ask.
were are RTS games now? is there anything good out there? it feels like they died spmewhere before 2010

>>713265434
>were are RTS games now?
Starcraft and AoE are firmly entrenched in their positions as sole winners of the RTS race
>is there anything good out there?
Apart from the aforementioned two? You need to look for it in past releases, mostly. As for newer ones, there is that upcoming future-dwarf game, Stormgate (which is kind of bad and died on the spot), and...uh...
Still, older games can scratch that itch of yours. For me, it was Warzone 2100 and Warlords Battlecry. Sins of a Solar Empire is really good but it isn't an RTS, per se.
>it feels like they died spmewhere before 2010
RTSs were always niche. For every successful one there are a dozen forgotten ones, most of them mediocre to bad. For all the shit SC and AoE get for hogging all the spotlight, they deserve their fame.

>SP carebears talking
Soviets are OP and usually the favoured pick in competitive. This because their tanks are better and that gives an early to mid game advantage that is hard to overcome.

>>713266717
too bad allies have like 4 hard tank counters lol
also they have better economy

>Chronosphere 4 prisms into your base
ACK

I'm telling you guys, the first relatively normal strategy that will make a random map generator - will conquer the world

>>713268218
TS is relatively normal

>>713254557
I just remember the soviet adjutant being a softcore porn actress.

>>713242815 (OP)
Allies since they canonically win. It really is as simple as that.

>>713268601
and they have the most advanced tech

>>713266717
OP never said anything about online you retard.
Regardless, soviets are easier to learn and are only better early game.
Allies dominate in mid to late game.

>>713242815 (OP)
Allies always felt more powerful because the Soviet artillery suck so bad in RA2 while the Allied equivalent can take on anything but air.

>>713268601
It's actually funny how they get stomped until the very end of all three games.

>>713268218
Age of Empires 2?

>>713242815 (OP)
For me, it was Red Eagle's mod in RA2 with Soviets and their giant ants

>>713268218
Other than C&C and Blizzard games, most RTS do have random maps thoughever?
