The campaign on hard depends 100% on luck and RNG instead of skill and it's insanely frustrating.

Update: I have now completed all 81 missions on hard. It was SO BAD.
Every mission was a WHAT WERE THEY THINKING moment. These are insane puzzles that require you to cheese and savescum like you have never cheesed and savescummed before. Awful AI and pathing, no build missions are pure torture because there's so much RNG and micro is almost impossible in this 1995 game.

It was nonetheless pretty satisfying when you slowly figure out how to sandbag into the enemy's base and destroy them from within. Do not be ashamed of sandbagging, believe me the game deserves much worse abuse and I would cheese more if I could. Music is fine. I really like the atmosphere too. A side note is you should always play on fastest because normal speed causes the enemy air strike to be much less frequent and makes the game easier, or so I heard.

When it comes to Red Alert, although a lot more people prefer this expansion, I find it much more boring than the base game. The puzzle element is no longer there. The pace is much faster. You can no longer chill behind the safety of sandbags, and now it's just tanks tanks tanks. The enemy can hoard army indefinitely and only attack with free spawns, and because of resource limit you can head into a dead end if you don't win fast enough. And again, tanks beat everything every game so it was just boring. The atmosphere is pretty boring too and I much prefer the original's sci and mystery element.

>Traveling sandbag
You didn't beat the game.
>Red alert is bad because I can't cheat with sandbags
lol the mental gymnastics on display for shitters are hilarious sometimes. I kind of feel bad for you OP, being unable to enjoy good games because you suck so much.

>>2086416 (OP)
Red Alert is not an expansion of command and conquer. Command and conquer has 1 expansion, the covert operations. Red Alert has 2 expansions, counterstrike and aftermath.

Or maybe, and bare with me here, they were as you said, puzzles, and you weren't able to figure them out without relying on cheats.

>shitter projection
You have never even touched the game on hard.

>>2086924
The game was never meant to be played on hard, it never had such difficulty before, i am fairly sure its still broken because reddit mod EA asked to test new difficulty just cheated

>>2086749
SHOW YOUR MEDAL, CLUELESS SHITTER
Sandbag isn't cheat btw it's the intended way to play under high pressure. Which is basically most of the broken missions on hard.

>>2086927
No I'm pretty sure both games always had 3 difficulties just the remaster they added another difficulty level or made it harder or something.

>>2086929
>SHOW YOUR MEDAL, CLUELESS SHITTER
Ready to admit you're a bitch.

>>2087083
Only Red Alert had difficulty slider, in Tiberian Dawn you only had choice between GDI and Nod after starting campaign

>>2086924
Tongue my anus, I beat all the original campaigns and even some of the dogshit custom N64 maps on hard. No I don't feel like opening the EA app or loading my PC at all to prove it to you.

>>2086416 (OP)
>The puzzle element is no longer there
Are you seriously gonna pretend that all Tanya missions and the Soviet/ICFRA indoor levels don't exist?

>>2086924
>>2086929
Not even a single mission in TD "requires" using sandbags on Hard. At best you can say nobody ever does Cloak and Dagger as intended because cheesing it by breaking the AI takes a fraction of the time. Maybe Blindsided and Hell's Fury too, but that's stretching it.
RA1 is the easier game of the two. Q key is your friend.

>>2087437
These type of maps were never good and quite nonsensical at times IMO

what about the ant missions

>>2086416 (OP)
This post is just pure nonsense and it makes me think that you either didn't play the game or that you're giving a very dishonest retelling of it. The only missions that require a fair bit of trial by error and savescumming are the ones where you get a fixed amount of units. Always hated them, but that's a small portion of the games. Most missions (in all base campaigns at least) can be beaten by tank rushing the enemy or otherwise overwhelming them. I beat them way back in the day without any cheesing and again when the remaster dropped, though to be fair it was on normal but all the difficulty slider does is buff the AI a bit and makes things more expensive iirc.

So idk man, maybe look up a walkthrough or some gameplay advice on YouTube or a message board or something? It's not a very complex game, I have no idea what you'd have to do to describe it as being completely luck/RNG based. I like the old Westwood games a lot (except the single unit missions fuck them) but it's not even as hard or complex as StarCraft or some of the many knockoffs that followed in the wake of its success.

Its either a Steam comment or a Reddit post, why are you even replying? Are you retarded?

The amount of retardation and dunning kruger effect are fucking jaw dropping. You self-admitted you don't even know what hard is like but immediately jumped to the conclusion that someone who finished all 80 missions on hard, which almost every player complained was insane and almost impossible, didn't play the game. Jesus Christ you are a special one even by 4chan standards.

The difficulty of the original game is normal on the remaster. They didn't bother to check the game balance when adding the new difficulties.

>Zoom zooms playing a real game for the first time

>>2088769
Bro, it just tweaks a few parameters. It's not a completely different game. You're just bad at strategy games and can't beat things without cheesing.

>>2086416 (OP)
>When it comes to Red Alert, although a lot more people prefer this expansion
Delete all zoomers from existence

>>2088089
Instant kino for retro-actively inserting general Carville into events of RA1 in the PSX version of RA:Retaliation.

>>2089226
If you're genuinely not trolling I have nothing but sympathy for you. Because unlike other anons who just like to bluff and have fun but still understand what they're talking about, your IQ is objectively way below the average line. That bizarre, blind confidence says everything.

You know what? The sad thing is even if you went to try the game on hard and got instantly obliterated, you might not even feel shame because that's just what stupid people are. Everyone here was just joking around and you came along and how far you took the joke (assuming you're only trying to get a reaction out of me) makes it no longer fun and just uncomfortable.

I've seen behaviors like this and I'm sure people with that kind of intellectual capacity wouldn't even find 4chan. So I just assume you have low emotional intelligence and can't make the right, fun kind of trolling attempts. Otherwise it would be unthinkably sad.

>>2089478
You're a fag and you suck at the game, lol. Cope.

The AI of the older C&C games is easily exploitable. Only from Generals onwards is that missions can get genuinely hard. Pic related, will make you cry in frustration when you get to it. And it only gets harder from then onwards.

>>2089849
The problem with old C&C games (including the remaster) prior to RA2 was that difficulty settings were done in the laziest, most unfair way possible by adjusting the HP/damage of enemy units. Remaster's original settings were so retarded a medium tank would get btfo by a light on Hard.
Croatia isn't even in top 5, it just punishes turtling

>>2089849
I wish more RTS games had missions like this. Having to move your limited resources around is great.

>>2086416 (OP)
Absolutely delusional

>inb4 show medal

I’ve been playing that game since the first ultimate collection. Eat a bag of dicks and get good.

>>2088769
Have you ever even actually played this game? Do you even know what the difficulty slider in this game does?

Which does not include remastered AND you're playing on casual difficulty. Why are so mnay RTS players such fucking retards and have 0 self-awareness? Why do they always have this fucking retard confidence?

>One (1) retard faggots sucks at video games
>Spends an entire thread seething and raging over constantly being called out for sucking
Get good and stop being mad online.

>>2090463
I'm saying this because all you retards are judging the difficulty based on the braindead version of the game in your childhood. You have not even touched the absurdity of the game after the multiplier like this embarrassing retard >>2088293

But at least he had honesty. I can already guarantee you won't beat this game on hard because of your intelligence and the dunning kruger effect you're showing right now.

>>2086416 (OP)
They nerfed Hard in the first patch maybe don't play the pirated 1.0 version? Piracy is theft.
