If you try and say Command and Conquer Red Alert 2: Yuri’s Revenge 10 times really fast you are in big trouble! In all seriousness, this expansion to the awesome Red Alert 2 is a must-play for anyone who enjoyed the base game. It may sound kind of crazy, but for me, this is actually better than the default Red Alert 2!

Yuri Is Back

As the name suggests that crazy mind-controlling SOB Yuri is back and once again, he wants to take over the world, and this time his methods are even more extreme. I feel that these days people do not realize just how epic this series was with its storytelling and for me this is the very peak of it. It is a “military” story, but Command and Conquer Red Alert 2: Yuri’s Revenge has psychic powers, time travel, and other sci-fi elements in here as well.

The presentation in the game at the time was very impressive. Even now, all these years later I think that this is a game that is easy on the eyes. The story unfolds very well and the cut scenes as is the case with the other games in the series are all very well done.

Two Campaigns Are Great, But Three Would Have Been Sweet!

This game is pretty stacked when it comes to single-player content. You have two campaigns to play through and they both have a ton of missions for you to get through. I really enjoyed how different the Allies and the Soviet stories were. The stories were very different, but the units and the way the game unfolds, in general, is very unique.

My only real criticism here is that I feel there should have been a third campaign where you could play as Yuri and control his forces. You can control Yuri in the multiplayer mode and it is pretty awesome, but I think being able to play the story from his point of view would have been pretty cool.

Strategy At Its Best

The gameplay has had a few changes over the standard Red Alert 2. I would say that Command and Conquer Red Alert 2: Yuri’s Revenge is overall a better game than the base game. You have to gather resources and manage your units. What is cool, is that you have to really keep on top of your units and there is a very decent selection of them.

While there is a lot of strategy in this game, I feel that it is more fast-paced and action packed than many other strategy games that are out there. It is the kind of game that is easy to get into, but a real challenge to master.

I had a great time going back and playing this game. While I feel it is better than Red Alert 2. I must say that you need to play that before jumping into Command and Conquer Red Alert 2: Yuri’s Revenge as the story continues on from the base game. Yuri is a great character the best antagonist in the series in my opinion. Without a doubt, you do not want to pass on this one!

Pros:

The story is fantastic
Two campaigns to play and enjoy
The presentation is very slick
The gameplay is deep, exciting and a lot of fun
Yuri is an amazing villain

Cons:

I wish that Yuri had a campaign
It set the bar for what followed very high

Overall rating: 8.5

With the onset of corona virus, one of the unintended consequences of Working from Home is that all of us now have a lot of time on our hands. People who have consoles at home like PS4, XBOX One, Nintendo Switch or upgraded PC’s have started logging a lot of hours on them.

However, most of us of the gamers of the 90’s and 2000’s which have also turned to the old school games and bringing them back from the dead. One such popular game of the early 2000’s is second installment, which some consider to be the best one, in the Red Alert series of RTS games from Command & Conquer. Red Alert 2 and its expansion pack Red Alert 2 – Yuri’s Revenge. Further with the imminent launch of the remaster version of the original command and conquer series by EA and demands for remaster of this game has never been greater.

It was released in 2000 by Westwood studios in collaboration with EA games and is one of the defining games of the RTS genre. We also got a third installment to the Red Alert games in 2008, along with its own expansion, but we will cover that in a different post.

The Story

Red Alert 2 is set in an alternate world where the cold war turns into a full blown tactical war and follows on from the Allied campaign of the Original Command & Conquer: Red Alert. It contains 2 playing factions in the single player mode and a number of sub factions, each with their own special powers and capabilities. The objective of the game is make and control your army to defeat your opponent which includes Aircraft carriers, Submarines, Enhanced Dolphins, Giant Squids, Apocalypse Tanks and the Iconic Kirov Airships.

How to Get Red Alert 2 and Yuri’s Revenge?

Back in 2015, EA released the game along with its predecessor for free, however with the launch of Origin’s Ultimate Collection, Red Alert 2 & its expansion Yuri’s Revenge became paid again. Currently the only way to legally play the game is to own a CD of the original game or Buy the Ultimate Collection from Origin or Other Online Stores. The price is quite reasonable for the number of games which are included.

There are other ways to get the game, however I am not going to mention them here as they aren’t strictly legal. If you only want to play it on multiplayer then you can get them on CnCnet or XWIS which they give for free but you can only use it to play multiplayer not the single player campaign.

I have the original Game, but how do I play it?

Even if you have the original Game, either the original CD or you bought the pack from Origin, you still will have difficulty in actually running the game if you are running an up to date version of Windows (or Mac). This is because legacy games use a feature which was retired from the newer versions due to a security risk, leaving old games as unplayable.

So I can’t play the single player game at all except for Illegal No CD Cracks?

That’s where this blog comes in, I will detail the steps needed to play this game.

The Method for Running it on Windows 10 by copying files from Original Game

This is the recommended method that I would suggest and it is by this method that I got my own version of working. You will be able to play the Single player game almost flawlessly and play on multiplayer version. However, I will outline how to play multiplayer on CNCnet which (for me at-least) is incompatible for running the single player campaign. So the solution I came up with is having multiple installations of the game, one to play the single player campaign and one to play online.

Playing the Single Player Campaign for Red Alert 2:

What you will need:

1. Original CD/Game ISO for Red Alert 2 (Allied and Soviet Both) buy it from Origin here
2. XWIS multiplayer files which will allow you to play without CD. This is the official no cd version for the game. You can get it from here
3. A fix for the game for running it on Windows 8/Windows 10. You can find it here
4. A ddwrapper. There are multiple versions available on the internet. The one that worked for me can be downloaded from bitpatch here
5. ISO reader. I didn’t need it and used the builtin feature of windows, however a couple of my friends had problems and had to install a reader. Some used Daemon tools, some used Magic ISO

Steps for Installation:

1. Download and Install XWIS multiplayer version
2. Next download ddwrapper and extract the ddraw.dll and aqrit.cfg to where you installed the game
3. Using the text editor such as notepad, open the aqrit.cfg file and set ForceDirectDrawEmulation = 1
4. Download the fix for windows 8/10 and install the database by opening its folder and running the file “Double Click Me”
5. Copy the game files from the folder “game files” into the folder that you installed the game in
6. Mount your Original Ra2 Allied and Soviet Cds and copy/replace the following files from the CD to your installation folder
a. Maps01.mix (Allied disk)
b. Movies.01.mix (Allied disk)
c. Maps02.mix (Soviet disk)
d. Movies.02.mix (Soviet disk)
e. Theme.mix (any)
7. Run the game using the “Game.exe”

Following the above steps should run the game using the Game.exe file and enjoy the awesome single player campaign and skirmish games.
One small thing, you wont be able to use the ALT+TAB function. This can be fixed using a different ddraw.dll file however I wont recommend others as there may be viruses.

Further this installation might not be compatible with Mental Omega as it overwrites the aqrit.cfg and ddraw files with its own. Play around with the settings to get it to work.

Also for some, you will have to manually set the game.exe to compatibility even though you have run the windows 8/10 fix. If you need to then simply set the compatibility settings as follows:
– Windows 7
– Run As Administrator
– 16bit Colors

Installing Yuri’s Revenge to play its campaign:

What you will need:

1. Original CD/Game ISO for Yuri’s Revenge Origin here
2. XWIS multiplayer files which will allow you to play without CD (this is the official no cd version for the game. You can get it from here
3. A fix for the game for running it on Windows 8/Windows 10. You can find it here
4. ISO reader. I didn’t need it and used the builtin feature of windows, however a couple of my friends had problems and had to install a reader. Some used Daemon tools, some used Magic ISO

Steps for Installation:

1. Download and Install XWIS multiplayer version in the same directory with you installed Red Alert 2
2. Download the fix for windows 8/10 and install the database by opening its folder and running the file “Double Click Me”
3. Copy the game files from the folder “game files” into the folder that you installed the game in
4. Mount your Original Yuri’s Revenge CD and copy/replace the following files from the CD to your installation folder
a. Mapsmd03.mix
b. Moviesmd03.mix
c. Thememd.mix

5. Run the game using the “Gamemd.exe”

Further this installation might not be compatible with Mental Omega as it overwrites the aqrit.cfg and ddraw files with its own. Play around with the settings to get it to work.
Also for some, you will have to manually set the game.exe to compatibility even though you have run the windows 8/10 fix. If you need to then simply set the compatibility settings as follows:
– Windows 7

Playing the Game on CNCnet for multiplayer:

The instructions above will help you in running the original game and playing the single player campaign. However, if you are anything like me, you would want to test your game against other players. For this the best server available at the time of writing is CNCnet. It is a service for playing Command and conquer games online and also expand on the basic game.

To play online, your installation above may not work with CNCnet as it is built for playing on XWIS. So to play it on CNCnet, I recommend installing the game again a second time so as to enable you to play single player and online as per your liking.

Also CNCnet only works with Yuri’s Revenge. To play red alert 2, there is a special option in CNCnet to run the game in “Red Alert 2” mode, however it still runs the Yuri’s revenge game, just with Red Alert 2 units.

What you will need:

1. Original CD/Game ISO for both RedAlert 2 (Allied and Soviet both) & Yuri’s Revenge Origin here
2. XWIS multiplayer files which will allow you to play without CD (this is the official no cd version for the game. You can get it from here for both the games
3. Archive extracting Software such as Winrar or 7zip, which can read multipart archives
4. Window Registry files and editor for Ra2 and Yuris Revenge
5. Update patches for Ra2 and Yuri’s revenge
6. ISO reader. I didn’t need it and used the builtin feature of windows, however a couple of my friends had problems and had to install a reader. Some used Daemon tools, some used Magic ISO

If you’ve followed the above steps properly, you should be able to play the game on CNCnet flawlessly and without the Alt+tab issue present in XWIS. I tried playing the single player campaign on this installation and it didn’t work for me that’s why I recommend to install the games twice, once using the xwis method and once using the CNCnet method.
