![]() ![]() The soundtrack should also be given some merits. for the game has proven to be harder to deal with. I also like to add about how the gaming experience of Red Alert 2 is enhanced when playing Mental Omega. Intro wallpaper of Mental Omega launcher They simply reset the plot Red Alert 2 The birth of a new faction? If you want to know more about the plot, give the mod a go. All with their very own unique background and personality. ![]() However, they also introduce some new character and hero units. As a mod, it is expected for them to also introduce some new units in the game. ![]() Not to mention that they did that using the game’s mechanics. However, you can’t deny the fact that they are very good at dramatizing a situation. It shows how much they are staying true to the Red Alert 2 universe, to begin with. Some of the campaign missions respected the plot of the original and doesn’t excessively stray from them. Arguably, this mod has the best plotline ever. So obviously I would like to know how they tweaked the plotline of the original game. When it comes to why I actually like this mod, it will be the plot. 1190 #MentalOmega players on today! #CommandAndConquer #RedAlert2 /cOLt6pNvAt Well, the previous record has been shattered no doubt. Which is why I like to name Mental Omega as a mod by fans for fans. Of course, if not because of the fandom, the mod will not stand out in the first place. Some provide voice line for the unit, some provide their artworks and plot. What’s more interesting, the mod was developed by Red Alert 2 fans all over the globe who contributed as little as they can to be part of the developer. That was a record high for an old game and a mod. They reported that at one point, about 1120 Mental Omega players were simultaneously online. This is proven by CNCNet, an online lobby for Command & Conquer Series multiplayer. Throughout it’s more than 15 years of development, the community of Mental Omega remain strong and loyal. As of 2020, this mod is already on its third version. Due to overwhelming reception of the mod, Mental Omega was re-developed to even have its own plotline and campaign. Originally, the mod was intended to balance out all the three competing in-game factions namely Soviet, Allied and the Yuri. That was like three years after the release of Yuri’s Revenge. My favourite mod for Red Alert 2 would be the Mental Omega: Almost Perfect Yuri’s Revenge. In fact, the number of fans among the mod of Yuri’s Revenge is very significant. Red Alert 2 is not excluded from the modding culture too, obviously. If you are very curious to know more about modding culture, you can visit and explore for yourself the will people have to make their favourite game stands out. Some fans are very extensive when it comes to modifying a game. ![]() I recall there is a mod where they improvise the whole fictional world of Mount & Blade into Game of Thrones’ fictional setting of Westeros and Essos. This game is all about mediaeval Europe and its feudal culture. For instance, a mod for a role-playing game (RPG) Mount & Blade: Warband. Other advanced modders even use other games to make a whole new plot. You can have Marvel Superheroes in GTA all thanks to modder. For instance, Grand Theft Auto (GTA) where most of the time the mod involves character skin. You can see a lot of games with mods created by fans for free to be downloaded by other fans. This is where a game mod comes to play.Ī mod is, as the name suggests, a modification for a game. Which is why certain players tend to improvise and explore additional features for this game. Imagine the two decades spent on playing this game on the same choice of unit, buildings and factions. Even when I’m playing this game as early as 5-6 years old, it is unbelievable that I managed to stay loyal to this game as I turned 23 this year. That is Red Alert 2 and its expansion, Yuri’s Revenge. In my previous post, I have shared a classic game that I grew up playing. ![]()
