But your flag is the Allied Eagle from Red Alert 2?

How could you know about it without having played the game?

Big fan of the old games, lost interest in it after Command and conquer 3 which was the last good one for me. Red Alert's 1 and 2 are my favourites though, loved those games and played them to death.

Red Alert universe ftw! I've played some other C&C games, but RA2 in particular and RA3 are my favorites.
I haven't played in years though. Need to Get a LAN party going soon.

You mean when Stalin is Poisoned?
That was hilarious!

I loved the ant mission classic RA craziness. Anyone looking forward to the new upcoming Generals game?

Red Alert 2 & 3 were great gameplay and story wise, I think I maybe liked Generals & Zero Hour the most though. They didn't feel as unique as Red Alert but were real fun and Zero Hour added a lot more content into the game; had great times playing random scenarios.

C&C Generals was the best of the lot. Cautiously optimistic about the new game.

< That is Empire of the Rising Sun from Red Alert 3, minus the cast, plus what the Soviets did at the end of Yuri's Revenge: go cosmos and have freaking laser-shooting cosmonauts.

Anyway, when it comes to Red Alert, I surprisingly favor any side standing against the Allies in the game. (Didn't play Red Alert 3, though.) For Red Alert 2, I got no Animeland (take a wild guess what I mean), so I chose Sickleland instead. And man, gotta love those Kirov Zeppelins to take on Eagleland's puny might. :p

The thing is, I don't know, how the heck was the Allies supposed to ALWAYS win (fact subverted in Tiberium - I think, never got close into details with that part). They're no better than the rest of everybody else (with the exception of Yuri - now that's just... pure evil). :?

I love all C&C games save for Renegade (Which I've never tried) and Tiberium Twilight (Which was okay-ish, I guess, but horrible by the expectations of a C&C game).

Looking optimistically forward to the upcoming game, but I'll concede they have a lot to prove.

I just picked up C&C: The First Decade for a handful of bucks a week back. Waiting for a day off to fire it up. These were my favorite games as a kid.

Been playing loads of Red Alert lately. The original, since they made it free to download. (redaler1.com)

My region's been running nightly competitions, and gained a fair few new players to Red Alert who had never heard of it.
