[@Hamentsios10]

I didn't mind the cozy original level design, however, as a mapper/modder myself in various games including RA2, I have to say that MadHQ really put a lot of work into these levels. I mean this level alone, common players may not realize it, but to add this level of detail in such an urban level is a LOT of work. And MadHQ did that for not one level, but for all 24 RA2 levels! MAD respect for MadHQ!

[@classicplayer592]

Wow, I found a person who, like me, pays attention to the smallest details and knows what really good design is, I certainly respect MadHQ for doing such a massive job, but at the same time I want to NOT pretend that MadHQ is the god of ra2 and like a genius, he recreated everything with accuracy, even in scripts, so after I saw the ini of missions and multiplayer versions of company maps, I realized that MadHQ is still not ideal

[@Hamentsios10]

@@classicplayer592 It's not so much about noticing every little detail, it's about understanding how much work putting so much detail throughout the whole map on every map requires. Which as a map maker myself, I understand.

[@classicplayer592]

@@Hamentsios10 And I, as well versed in the creation of maps, also understand that this is a work of a huge scale, I’m already interested in what MadHQ will do with companies for Yuri’s revenge, if it does at all

11:08 ehhhhh, this is how new york is built. madHQ mad it from google maps so this is how narrow things are.

[@Alstar]

Another moment of appreciation for Udo Kier's voice. 2:00 Same. I hate urban maps in general. 2:30 Oh yes. It is. Lack of frontal chokepoint and open area everywhere make this mission significantly more difficult. In addition there are MadHQ's usual gimmicks at place :v 3:20 Yeah, thought the same. Until Rocketeers arrived... 8:05 Welcome to the hard mode TG, enjoy your stay! 15:00 3v1 situation is never a place to fool around. I dont mind that. 41:32 I mean, your main base died tho :v We clearly have different playstyles. Also a bit of advice for the future, since you might have missed it in this mission - MadHQ's AI is usually given bonus MCV so they can rebuild once destroyed. Keep your eyes out for them.

[@Walterion]

This mission made me thankful that you are able to use allied tech if captured. Rocketeers are insanely good in defending the beacon. Also, the repair bay is there so that you can have a foothold near the battle lab so you can start placing turrets ahead of time or repair your Rhinos/Flak tracks in case of damage. The aggressiveness of the AI in this map is pretty high and they really go nuts on attacking you. If you capture the Oil derricks early on, they will shift their attention to that, which makes it easy defend since they can only come from 1 direction (North/North east). Thanks for the video TG. Looking forward to SOV04 and...it's lovely sights.

[@abuleil1117]

I was actually suffering when I captured the oil derricks....

[@Ghust2]

@@abuleil1117 I repaired all the buildings before capturing the oil derricks and built a barracks there. Spam conscripts for the buildings, put flak troopers between buildings => chill

[@ganis6020]

This mission was the toughest for me in my blind play through. The amount units attacking you and the lack of AA is just frustrating

[@CnCDune]

I see you still get the Soviet ConYard and Tesla Reactors located out-of-bounds; they were used in the original mission to build the Psychic Beacon, and then the House owning the Beacon (plus ConYard and Reactors) would give you its stuff. Wonder if the bug where you lose if the Beacon is not built in time (like, in 5sec of capturing the Battle Lab) has been fixed. The bug was because Westwood didn't make the game chk if the Beacon was even placed before asking "Does Player have Beacon? If no, instant-lose."

[@ErenisRanitos]

I mean, isn't New York a tight city with 15 mil. humans? :-D having a tight closed map with all the buildings available makes sense. on the contrary, having open spaces would make no sense at all. this is a close quarters combat map where you advance street by street, claiming separate buildings and blocks and streets.

[@abuleil1117]

it's just that no space is annoying, I destroyed a lot of buildings in that mission only to feel comfortable lol( really a lot of buildings... )

[@saquoiafighter]

With the starting location now exposed from all sides, this gives the mission a sense of urgency, because the enemy can overwhelm the base from any location.

[@karlthorsten9118]

Been playing this now, and GOOD LORD, this mission is a massive torture! The enemies are just endless, I can't even destroy a forward base right now.

[@classicplayer592]

And no, in the original there was simply no moment with the mention of rocket men, but it should be, I am Russian and put the Russian version and the phrase was already in Russian

[@classicplayer592]

I understand that there was a bug in the original

[@SEVCHENKO_Playz]

this is the toughest mission I have played so far

[@sorryforbad5706]

Wait untill fox and hound or red revolution mission reworked

[@SEVCHENKO_Playz]

@@sorryforbad5706 I've played the fox and hound mission, it was hard at first but if you coordinate your troops perfectly and plan things well and know how to get your enemy down in a good way you will achieve easily, but I know that red revolution will be a lot harder than the others. I am in the mission of destroying the weather control device which is weathered alliance. it is good but needs speed. The AI changed it's strategy after my game crashed so, this sucks, I am mid way through tho!!!!................ tg GOOD LUCK WITH ALL THE MISSIONS. I AM WAITING FOR YOU TO MAKE IT TO THE END.

[@Kiwijr2579]

The issue with the buildings is to be expected in this mission. It takes place in New York, after all 😅

Can't wait for the 3 yuris mission, my favorite

I believe Yuri forgets his lines at 0:50 and you can't convince me otherwise.

[@georgesafi6010]

Your content is amazing. Please keep it up!

[@classicplayer592]

Oh..... its my favorite mission

[@Demonicdan3]

I think MadHQ messed up the difficulty of this mission a little, it's a huge difficulty spike compared to the previous 2 and several missions that come after. It doesn't get this tedious for a long while. It's a mission that forces you to attack early and quickly to avoid bleeding out too much money from defending against constant attacks, you don't really have time to mess around and explore the map at your own leisure until you've destroyed one or two enemy bases. The missions that come after this one feel like a complete joke in terms of difficulty.

[@NguyenQuangLuan802]

That's the true challenge I want, in original, it very easy

[@Demonicdan3]

@@NguyenQuangLuan802 I'm all for challenge. I'm just saying the difficulty curve is off. This one is too difficult to be thrown at the player so early in the campaign. It makes the 7 or so maps that come after this one feel like a joke, which is bad game design. The hard missions should be at the final stretch, not so early on. Compare this mission to the one that comes after, it's night and day.

[@NguyenQuangLuan802]

@@Demonicdan3 early or not, we can enjoy the challenge, it's fun and think big brain like the army in the real life

[@Demonicdan3]

@@NguyenQuangLuan802 Once again, you missed the point.

[@kellereclub3828]

@@Demonicdan3 I disagree. The curve only applies to the original. Your mentality is still stuck there and we hope you can move out of it. Why limit yourself to some concept of a curve? Free your mind.

[@Auderman]

6:42 In the game files some of the units and structures has unused introdution in Eva or Zofia voiceset. I told you this two years ago in the comment as proposition for the new video

[@ericorrin5748]

If this is your first attempt it is not bad at all, i just think you needed less tanks and much more infantry at the beginning, especially Engineers to keep the garrisoned civilian buildings steady. And the Oil Derricks in the South are not easy to capitalize, the nearby Teal Army will throw everything they have in an attempt to destroy them as soon as you get them and will redirect much of their forces from your main base against this outpost, so prepare for a prolonged defense to keep the Oil Derricks steady.

[@RaiderFenrir050]

Me when original Big Apple: capture and capture and lalala oh lalala Me when see TG play Reworked Big Apple: oh welp... Too many to garrison, and too many spots. My conclusion. Eliminate first, capture later

[@michaelandreipalon359]

Yes, Yuri was behind all this. No, I won't even oppose him when it comes to you, Vlad. See you on Washington later on... yeah, see you there.

[@PazCristo]

Is there a bug between the range of the rocket IFVs and garrisoned buildings? Quite a number of times, the IFV can outrange a garrison building.

[@76animator41]

I don't know but from my experience some units can out range defences in a very specific spot for some reason.

[@nikitapetrenko1236]

More challanges are ahead)

[@cold2zero626]

Next time try to capture the green base in the beginning it will be easier with rocketeer to clean up the city, and the oil derricks will be free for you

[@kellereclub3828]

Close call at 3:59 - 1 dog and GG for the Psi Corps Troopers. The mission seems simple at the start as defending was easy, till the script got the Rocketeers to harass the garrisons. Perhaps each of the nearby garrisons could have 2-3 flak for AA defense as the Rocketeer harass seem to come non-stop. The rest of the buildings can be levelled anyway since they're clearly obstructing both your view as well as Rhino movement. Save maybe 1 building in a "general area" to garrison and the surrounding buildings can be cleared. For a long time you stopped exploring - already had a sizeable force to defend, just split the tanks use some for attack. Split some flak to accompany your tanks for AA. Your exploration should determine where the source of the vehicle waves are, so you might prioritize that instead of wasting time hitting the other small outposts. This map is design to make you waste time and defend waves. The ending was the same as the original - not bigger.

[@ShadowVR2]

Haven't played in a long time, but I don't see why you wouldn't supplement the garrisons with flak troopers. I'd think that take some of the pressure off of having to fight rocketeers by saturating flaks throughout the city unless you have a good reason why?

[@intelkiller1074]

42:04 Hey! Where did you going!?

[@redstonehero7944]

This mission is easier than it looks. All you need to do is place a few flak trucks near your garrisons and you’ll be fine

[@TotallyNotShiny_Stone]

This mission got a lot harder than the Original mission with this rework. The Original mission are so easy, I don't even have to destroy the enemy bases. I just use Yuri(s) to mind control 4 bus on the map and transport 20 troops (5 per bus) for two round trip so it 35 troops (2nd trip is 3 bus) into the enemy base. The bus just run pass enemy because THEY DON'T SHOOT CIVILIAN VEHICLES. They thought the bus was driven by Civilian! I mean, it is driven by Civilian, albeit mind control. I also made a video of it, Named : "Operation Big Apple But I DON'T Destroy the Enemy Base."
