    This sounds really cool but I’ve never heard of it. Can anyone vouch for the safety of the programs?

      I have used OPENRA before, it’s safe.

      It’s also open source, so you can go dredge the code yourself if you are really concerned.

          Now you’re gaming like it’s 1996.

          It’s pretty sick at a lan, because being open source, can just copy paste it to friends machines to do massive brawls.

    This is a stupid question, but is this a port of the actual missions from C&C/Red Alert, or just inspired by them?

        I think these are new - there’s a comment on the project page asking about “playing the classic Red Alert maps” and one of the devs replied they would require some modifications to work.

        Besides, original missions can be played with OpenRA so I don’t think they would port them here without at least adding support for the new factions (which in turn would require changes in story?).

        That’s just my guess based on some research though, I’m not a specialist when it comes to these projects.

      Just Windows, Mac and Linux. There’s no Android build (that’s what would be needed for such tablet).
