Alas, no red alert 2 (the best, IMO). But still this is such great news. Huge props to EA for this.

- 3abiton 2y agoI don't know why they're stalling, I wonder if there still any revenues from the game or if it's IP issue.
- mschuster91 2y agoThis stuff is decades old. It's completely legitimate that they may simply have lost the source code during a server migration or whatnot.
- MortyWaves 2y agoNo, because Red Alert 2 Remaster exists...
- jamesgeck0 2y agoDo you work for EA? Because they haven’t announced or released such a thing. A year ago a developer hinted there might be another remaster in the future, but it could just as easily be Generals as RA2.
- rsstack 2y agoNo, that was gaming tabloids misunderstanding a sentence by EA a year ago. It was never announced.
- swat535 2y agoThey didn’t announce it, the most likely explanation I’ve heard is that the original code is lost, along with Tiberian Sun
- account42 2y agoIt may be common but let's not take the average companies lax attitude to source code archival and backup as "legitimate". It's a disgrace for the industry that this happens so often.

- nomilk 2y agoThat's the original C&C Red Alert: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_%26_Conquer:_Red_Alert https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_%26_Conquer:_Red_Alert But there was a sequel, C&C Red Alert 2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_%26_Conquer:_Red_Alert_2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_%26_Conquer:_Red_Alert... Both were incredible at the time.
- SaltyBackendGuy 2y agoAh got it.
