WE ARE SO BACK!

[@otakones]

Speeder LIVES!!

[@FlandreScarletMadalin]

So true 🎉🎉🎉

[@Auderman]

A premiera dopiero w 2025 roku pewnie by podtrzymać chronologię 2013,2017,2021

[@ProfessorYana]

_We have always been here._

[@karelzabijak321]

When the world needed him most... he vanished.. but then MentalΩSpeeder came back!!! ❤

[@razorback9999able]

In the dark ages of gaming, where all your favorite video game franchises are ruined by rampant monetization, Mental Omega has given many gamers who felt cheated a bright light at the end of the tunnel.

[@ahmetsezginn]

arcing projectile revision is amazing

[@Kerbiter]

say thanks to Starkku who fixed that stuff in Phobos :)

[@razorback9999able]

The fact that StarCraft 1 never had the same level of modding as Red Alert 2 baffles me.

[@mwperk02]

​@@razorback9999able there are some pretty good mods but the engine the game ran on heavily limits the possibilities.

[@Marinealver]

The Mental Omega you know has changed. As if someone came back from the future to alter the past.

[@Jin-1337]

Ares and Phobos are changing the way Red alert is getting modded and I'm all for it. The future is bright!

[@darkbrightnorth]

Hopefully not with the AI, most of the mods using Phobos have awful AI and I’m not sure if that’s because of the tool itself or the modders

[@Kerbiter]

@@darkbrightnorth most likely doesn't have much to do with Phobos, we don't alter how vanilla AI functions

[@Kerbiter]

Thanks for featuring our Phobos work, this really helps for publicity!

[@serraramayfield9230]

is there a full list of what Phobos does?

[@Kerbiter]

@@serraramayfield9230 check the official documentation, link available at phobos github project page. screw youtube removing links btw

[@hamvilles]

The best mod in my life is Red Alert 2!!! I am proud of you, Kyrgyzstan sends greetings!!! ❤❤❤

[@alwang9690]

Elden ring dlc? I sleep New Monster Hunter? I sleep Team Fortress 2 getting bots banned? I sleep New Mental Omega content? Real shit

[@ScudForEver]

Mental Omega is not a game, its a way of life.

[@karelzabijak321]

Feel the same ❤

[@JeyVGaming]

Reject Modernity, Embrace Tradition.

[@anlsezer6486]

It's such a nice day when Mental Omega team posts something

[@jaralara6429]

Boid machine finally hitting that sweet spot, and Aerial Fortress Irkalla's sheer size is now definitely justified by this new ability. Really liking these changes, and hyped for new missions!

[@Beriorn]

And these are just the units that are available for now... 4.0 is going to be great.

[@Daniil_Poliakov]

And really mad masterpeace...

[@artyomdreizehn2962]

Thank God for that Arcing projectile revision! how many times I had to adjust my battalion of zephyrs just to hit their target LMAO.

[@fkofilee]

Im so pumped for the update, I so hope its out soon. Thank you for this MentalSpeeder

[@kylresac4214]

Irkallas getting strong wow, and sneak peek of mission titles :0000

[@y4r1l07]

Sometimes it seems to me that this even is not a mod for red alert 2, It's even like a standalone C&C game

[@NiiRubra]

It's like alternative Red Alert 2 remake.

[@Jin-1337]

I mean I'd pay money for it

[@JeyVGaming]

@@NiiRubra Like it's an "Almost Perfect Yuri's Revenge".

[@DylanMcDaniel-zf8iv]

"What is this? Some kinda-uhhhh ... Suicide Squa- *checks notes* ... Some kinda Mental Omega?

[@DamonTorro]

whoa whoa whoa, "enemy within"?? Betrayal from within Foehn??!

[@xenotyphon]

I hope Rashidi and Malver aren't turncoats/spies again.

[@NiiRubra]

@@xenotyphon I feel like that's too obvious. There's probably a twist to it, perhaps we're not even talking about _willing_ traitors, it could be like an Epsilon made Tanya replica.

[@osmaani2672]

Maybe some mind control shenenigans with Epsilon gaining control over Foehn units... or vice versa?

[@llSuperSnivyll]

Either mind control or it's Foehn who gets to be the enemy within.

[@MarqFJA87]

@@llSuperSnivyll Or makes contact with someone inside Epsilon's ranks who is having second thoughts about their allegiance. Or maybe Libra is cracking under the strain of operating the Mental Omega Device and developed a second personality that is this "enemy within", which may or not help Foehn (could be an independent antagonist that seeks total annihilation of all life to avenge Libra's past trauma and suffering, as opposed to Epsilon's goal of total domination).

[@me-42by42]

Finally, aquatic windspin turbines

[@llSuperSnivyll]

It's nice to see that the artillery accuracy issue is getting fixed, but I noticed that the trajectory is still off and not landing on the target. I assume it's that the engine is not flexible enough and you pretty much have to force the attack to hit.

[@Kerbiter]

It's a generic issue with how arcing projectiles are drawn, not dependant on the elevation. "Not flexible enough" is not the reason, the reason is that the amount of issues that can be fixed by us in Phobos is endless and the manpower is finite :)

[@GeneGear]

@@Kerbiter you do the Lord's work regardless. Thank you.

[@Jin-1337]

This is amazing. Need more!

[@Tehran284]

That is awesome! Hope to see all of them in official release soon!

[@RacelKatyusha]

6:17 those are Foehn missions reveal, no doubt Outer recall mission is calling the soviets on the moon no doubt

[@magala9287]

I am guessing that "Unavoidable" is when the Revolt's time paradox ends, and they face the new world.

[@wewe13_]

Lovin' it !!! Thank you for making this magnificent mod ❤

[@K8Tech]

We play local LAN on mental omega every friday. The atmospher this game creates is somthing else! nothing like any other new strategy game. so special. Huge thanks for the developer for all the efforts and details.

[@MentalOmegaAPYR]

Glad you are enjoying it!

[@Freddy_Fornix]

Dang, MO Aquatic update 😂

[@pyroshilov8474]

Good to see you guys still carrying on with the good work. can't wait for the next update

[@RaveDecoy242]

This makes me so SO happy. Just the mere fact that you guys are still working on MO after all these years. I wish you all good health.

[@fct7692]

God I love the new animations and adjustments. Great work as always!

[@VaciliNikoMavich]

Ooooooo!!! This will be great ❤ Looking forward to it when it comes out~

[@CybranLord]

Nice. Those look amazing. Keep up the good work.

[@axezanimation]

Oh my God this is amazing , thank you speeder❤

[@kyuga3508]

man this looks insanely dope! thank to the mo team for puting some much effort into ra2

[@amadeus4398]

Greetings from the Philippines. Thank you very much for this mod of my beloved childhood game. I finished all Act 1 and Act 2 campaigns! Can't wait for Act 3!! ^O^

[@Salveta96]

You guys never disappoint

[@valtar9512]

It's time to replay all campaigns and challenges and prepare for the new ones

[@agentneontuber_2175]

THE KING FINALLY UPLOADED, LET'S GOOOOOOO

[@IBeGinger213]

Awesome work on this update! I especially liked the new units and the artillery projectile fix. That issue was becoming really annoying, especially in the missions where defenses were placed right at the top of a ramp. Can't wait to see the new Foehn Campaign!

[@Ionorion]

Спасибо за ваш труд!

[@CaptainEditor]

FINALLY after awhile we got a new one! I cant wait!!

[@patrik9328]

New units are always welcome

[@kinuy0024]

[@ripplegaming9340]

A new campaign for Foehn! niceeeee

[@MasteredUIJenixheroofthevoid]

I can't wait to try out this patch for mental omega.

[@JeyVGaming]

Can't wait to replay every campaign with the updated features (+additional contents in each missions?) when this comes out.

[@efeyigit06]

Oh baby let's gooo!!!!!

[@abdulrahmanali7624]

Names of foehn missions are teasing us looking forward for more news on the mod also the new features with phobos looks promising so much keep up the good work

[@HecthorDoomhammer]

Looking good, Speeder

[@westomegawolf6073]

I can't for these new units and other contents soon! Looking forward!

[@HanpiBaozi]

Wonderful

[@chavzone]

An unexpected surprise, but a welcome one

[@BanaresDG]

finally we come back to this Madness! hehe can t wait to see the update

[@TheNeo6]

This is huge

[@falcyboop]

All of this sounds very delicious 👀 Especially the campaign stuff

[@nyoooom6747]

looking forward to it!

[@ROTTERDXM]

This is very dense with new stuff to look forward to! I can't wait to play with all the new toys.

[@Larve12]

Yea cant wait and much HYPE

[@zonetropper]

I don't play this mod anymore, i've went back to vanilla ra2yr and other rts games. I forgot i'm still subscribed here so I have to give my commendation to the new and old MO team for keeping this mod supported and updated with new content to distribute on the horizon. Also Cryoshot? I'm getting ptsd from the ra3 allies 😓. And support powers costing resources? That's an interesting change. Surprised to see Speeder is back, I was led to believe in the official discord and the revora forums that Speeder backed down to seek his personal portfolio in music production, so if Speeder sees this or someone else has taken over, Thanks for the years and time you've given me to experience the mod when I had more free time on my hands.

[@armoredlumberjack1999]

I just can't believe we are getting such a quality game for free, this is the difference in making something out of pure love and passion versus making something only for profit (looking at 90% of AAA soulless games) Thank you Mod team, you guys are awesome!

[@p_serdiuk]

A surprise, for sure, but a welcome one

[@augustus4286]

Ayoo that fortress seems op now. Btw those 6 names at the end, mission names???

[@ishuikamakura272]

YES!! FIRST 6 MISSIONS

[@Russet_Mantle]

New Great Tempest animation looks amazing! Though now it looks like a black-hole-ish spatial rift instead of a hurricane.

[@MentalOmegaAPYR]

Foehn is capable of such wind manipulation, a bit more than just a hurricane.

[@dereturd]

can't wait for those mission changes.

[@NEXZS80S]

Fantastic

[@alexcount5130]

Welcome back Commander

[@tomfisher1499]

HELL YEAH

[@sbplankton_1999]

A New units, maps, campaign and more, awesome.

[@yazanus4530]

Man, I would never play anything else for the rest of my life other then this mod lmao

[@kanpucta2489]

Now I don't have to replace Siegfried's attack with laser (just to make Siegfried miss less)

[@watcharaphongphotirungsaku3260]

Thank for updates

[@darkbrightnorth]

With the Phobos AI will it have AI unit spaming like a lot of other Phobos mods or the “waves” like it has now? Ps amazing work yet again

[@yizhenji5564]

The final war is just around the corner!

[@limkorvey1929]

Im so happy that makes me want to cry.

[@highhumdingerdefinition]

Most hype gaming announcement this year. Still wondering about a lot of stuff, but nonetheless excited.

[@mohammedmedo3574]

Man, I really nailed this

[@ghostmexi007]

1 step at a time next act is gonna live up to the hype honestly with the trial of the fan made missions of what could've been the next act by fans , this official ones are gonna be fire especially that 6th mission name is foreboding

[@user-fo9iu7re8f]

An unexpected surprise, but a welcome one!

[@Minazuki123t]

I can't wait

[@TheIcelandicBoy]

This is pretty awesome! You going to tweak the campaign missions to add those units in?

[@MentalOmegaAPYR]

Yes, some of them.

[@zaxveryql4743]

SPECTACULAR GAME 🙌

[@patrickvasconcelos3001]

Outstanding news for sure. ^^ Just a question I dont remember see anywhere: There is any plans ( or even be possible) to change Unit controls to more modern standards or at last more easy to apply standard moves to simple key? would be nice to have more control of unit or having more quality of life improvements on control.

[@Kerbiter]

Phobos adds filtering of miners and other non-combat stuff from the selection, a hotkey to select idle harvesters, some display and tooltip improvements like displaying how much power the building will consume, current power in numeric forms, active/total miners amounts etc.

[@user-tm8xf4yo6q]

4:18 FINALLY!!! MANY THANKS! Now still remain is to add defence mode for aircraft
