This game is more fun than all the triple-A titles in 2024. People these days have no idea what they're missing out on...

[@xofox_studio]

exactly, old is gold

[@Hurttoto]

I'm aware and it depresses me

[@1wayroad935]

Massive cope in the comments, I see

[@Von_Langstein]

Massive cope that we cant have quality anymore, yes, and we will cling to anything that remotely comes close to the good ol times. Games are driven by money instead of creativity like they use to. I will never stop lamenting over the death of the good times. Games were meant to become cheaper to make with all our hardware and engine developments, but nope didn't happen.

[@couscousbenz]

Totally agree !!

[@kevinabiwardani7550]

The fans can created what the Triple A can't. I love it very much.

[@Obsolete386]

and is the 'Triple A' in the room with us right now?

[@Razgriz_01]

This mod is definitely underrated. One of my favorites. Love how you got the future C&C units from TibSun to RA3 into the mod while making sure their art-style stays in the TibDawn RA style. Even has a full on campaign.

[@backup_rookie3913]

Not to mention the excellent ai-voices that make it seem like most units' original voice actors coming back just to voice brand new lines for this fan-created mod's missions. So far i've been blown away at how awesome it is to hear those timeless voices deliver new and exciting lines for each impactful moment in those missions, this includes the original RA1 narrator voice (which acts as the Allies' EVA voice, the Soviets get a replacement with another RA1 EVA voice, just with a MUCH more noticeable Russian accent) lines, no bullshit.. It's literally like the voice actors came back, it's that awesome...! ^-^

[@OldCasualGamer]

Thank the YT algo for bringing this into my recommended tab, it looks awesome. Definitely trying it out.

[@wolfgangmerx]

This mod is the C&C of our dreams!

[@Codoloco1]

I love it all, all the factions and sub factions, the hotkeys, the zooming in and out on the mouth wheel, the missions, the skirmishes. The is one of the best! The maps are huge and the battles seem really big. I just need a openra account to play online. Thank you for the work.

[@theShermanator]

This is crazy, my childhood is coming together in one

[@frostburn3736]

3:10 *"I AM THE FUTURE!"* 😎 _Yes, you are, Combined Arms. Yes, you are~_ 🥰 C&C universe(s) united, childhood dream come true, the love letter from fans to fans. It's so beautiful it makes me cry from joy. 😭

[@mm-yq5dt]

Since I noticed that allies lack a lot of tier 5, I suggest to allow spies to infiltrate tech labs as compensation

[@Stormalisk]

Man its been such a journey watching this mod grow, fulfilling childhood fantasies and adult fantasies. I'm glad I got the opportunity to watch, and even help alittle, the mod grow into what it is now.

That's what I call a multiverse ♥️

[@mylifeisfunny8911]

mods are the pinnacle of gaming industry warcraft 3 gave birth to league of legends and Dota Half life gave birth to counter strike and many other fps games and we have this beauty thanks to red alert being good old moddable piece of art. its like a secret sauce in your meal which makes in 10 time more delicious. thank you for your hard work

[@Drunde]

Half-Life gave birth to FPS games nobody cares nowadays, except Counter-strike (which has been ruined by Valve).

[@allanhouston22]

Massive respect to all the work people have to put in this game, for the good of the public.

[@Poodlestroop]

Thrilled at the mention that more missions may be coming. Combined Arms has an incredibly well-crafted campaign that shows real love to C&C’s universe and history. I had an incredible time playing this mod through 2024!

[@SirFlaccidTheLarge]

Such an underrated game!

[@haozrez7228]

New C&C peak just dropped

[@Rift2123]

Well somehow this has flown under my radar will definitely be giving this a look could it really be the best of all the titles in one

[@Chyrosran22]

I played it, it's great fun and the campaign is really cool as well! :D Awesome job dude!

[@jecsquire9508]

As someone that cut their teeth as a child on tib dawn: thank you for the effort, love and care that has clearly gone into this. I will be downloading as soon as i am home from the holidays. My inner child demands it.

About halfway through the Allied campaign. This mod is just so cool man, it's so good. Keep working!

[@nathanielbass771]

"challenging" is an understatement.

[@dy031101]

Cutscene-only units (e.g. 2:55), and the Juggernauts actually seem more lethal than I remembered from Firestorm. Nice.

[@rhuman8672]

Wow this is litterally what i wanted since tiberian sun. Especially if it had a age of empires upgrade system option. That way you could go through the generations of tech. Even if it doesnt, this looks fantastic!

Looks sick!

[@puddledelta6285]

gotta add the generals trio for that full 8 rep

[@openracombinedarms]

USA & China have most of their stuff incorporated into GDI/Soviets/Nod, as neither are different enough to justify being added as their own factions. GLA on the other hand...

[@puddledelta6285]

@@openracombinedarms fair enough, sorry I feel bad discounting the amazing work you've done thusfar. and you're right especially having allies, gdi and usa would be redundant. gla possibly in the future sounds dope though!

[@Von_Langstein]

@@openracombinedarms Our lands must be preserved! Here is a thought. If GLA is going to be stand alone, it could be a good opportunity to pair them with The Forgotten faction. Both having guerilla style tactics and both would most likely reside in the more worse off regions. Where Dr Thrax is the GLA chemical general, The forgotten could be the general using troops / equipment that had tiberium contact/exposure. GLA's tunnel and stealth tactics + the Forgotten's affinity with tiberium and domesticating tiberium life would be a WILD combo. Just spitballing ideas here :)

[@Aereto]

GLA not needing power can be a major advantage when they do happen to capture a power structure

[@Von_Langstein]

@@Aereto from what I recall of my childhood playing C&C generals, the moment you captured and tried to build enemy structures, you also needed to build the power structures too. I tried to capture super weapons from AI, or airfields so GLA could have CAS, and recalled needing to capture a enemy bulldozer so I could make the power plants

Best RTS!

[@alliedtrooper9925]

i love this mod

[@freddyplaygames7001]

I wished they had an "chill mode" where the enemy focused on defence, and it was much less of the "timer attacks" with airstrikes, ion canon and nukes.

[@zxganon677]

lovely

IT IS TIME

[@couscousbenz]

Excellent. I play with my friends, its an amazing game, with really cool stuffs and multiplayer is working very very well! . Congrats seriously !!!/ Really hope, you will now use the HD graphics that is available on Tiberium HD. Would be ver very nice !!.

[@gaborsimon3299]

[@Marinealver]

4 Main Factions: GDI, Soviet, Allies, Nod all the others can be minor factions

[@Sunnysideanyway]

@@Marinealver You forget Scrin?

[@LordInsane100]

Yuri is implemented as a subfaction of the Soviets (which works thematically since, after all, that's exactly what the Psi-Corps was founded as, and was throughout RA2). Generals USA and China have elements distributed across GDI, Soviets and Nod. So that leaves GLA and the Empire of the Rising Sun (honestly, my inclination for the latter would be to have a Japan subfaction for the Allies, but that would require adding new subfactions for everyone else too, which is rather more of an ask).

[@caseyloufek2941]

@@LordInsane100 While I'd like to see a bit more YR content, I really think Psi-Corps possibly works better than the original Yuri faction which felt a little gimmicky and limited for a full major faction.

[@Marinealver]

​@@Sunnysideanyway I'm not that big of a fan of the 3rd factions they added in the 3s. Maybe the Dev team could improve it the way Mental Omega did with Episolon.

will Yuri and the forgotten be included?

[@mm-yq5dt]

Yuri is a Soviet subfaction the forgotten is yet to be added yet but I think it will fit in a GLA merger faction

[@golevka]

this is fuckin amazing

[@SirAroace]

How you dealing with the GDA - Allies overlap?

[@Legato107]

GDI is vehicle focused. They have a solid backbone of well armored and hard hitting armor that just gets bigger and meaner the higher your tech up. They also have advanced aircraft and heavy infantry and a futurist lean. Allies focus on soft power. They are dedicated conservationists, being the only faction with both medics and mechanics. As they tech up, they don't get a lot of extra firepower, but get tons of options for debuffing the opposing force and have probably the strongest mixed composition in the game.

[@mechsquid2]

That glitchy screen effect made this video unwatchable for me, but thanks for all the effort you guys put into this mod.

[@openracombinedarms]

Ah damn. It's supposed to be like a side-effect of the universes/timelines being mashed together, as well as being a nod to both TD (which had the static/channel hopping intro) and C&C Generals with its glitchy/zoomy "words like carpet bombing" intro.

[@SomethingNameArchived]

I wonder if there is crossover between OpenRA and KKND.

[@LucasCunhaRocha]

yes, there is a KKnD mod for openra

[@Richardgrondin89]

Would it be a good idea to add the "Forgotten" as a faction.

[@SkyAgentYT]

A cooler Dawn of Tiberium Age.

[@loneStarling]

Mutants? Or are they going to be a Subfaction? I saw some guys in Green, are they a Soviet Subfaction or was that just multiplayer? (Which makes sense, fundamentally a Soviet Faction, with some Nod-Tech & Mutant spiciness)

[@openracombinedarms]

That was just multiplayer. We have no plans for a full mutant faction, but we're probably going to try to incorporate them into a 6th faction.

[@326787421]

Wow

[@LuciferLizardo]

Wish they could add more factions like Yuri, ZOCOM, Destroyer 41, USA, China, GLA, and Empire of the Rising Sun.

[@BlueMonkeyProductons]

Daymn, this looks nice. Though, gotta ask: Where be the Rising Sun from RA3?

[@openracombinedarms]

Unlikely to be added as a main faction. The development team consists of two people, and neither of us have played much RA3. Considering how much time it takes to create a faction (iirc Scrin took around 3 months of doing nearly-full-time-job hours), and how difficult balancing the existing factions is already, it has to be something we're highly motivated by. Top of the list for a 6th faction is GLA, which probably brings more diversity to the table since we already have plenty of high-tech factions.

[@JiříHarušinec]

[@dgurevich1]

I wonder if they’ll ever make a Tibetan sun + ra2 crossover… would be amazing

[@dgurevich1]

[@Darkademic]

@@dgurevich1 Yuri does exist in Combined Arms as a Soviet subfaction. Nod also has many types of Cyborgs, so effectively is CABAL.
