A Blast from the Past: Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 NowPlayable in Your Browser
For fans of old-school gaming, a nostalgic treat is now available at your fingertips. The classic real-time strategy game Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2, released in 2000, can be played directly in your browser thanks to the Chrono Divide project.
Developed by a team behind the project, which initially started as an experiment, this web-based version of the game allows users to experience the iconic cutscenes that have become synonymous with cheesy camp. The game's single-player campaign modes are still in development, but the cross-platform multiplayer option is already available, supporting all original maps and even mod support.
The best part? You can play it on your mobile browser as well, making it accessible to a wider audience. However, if you want optimal performance with Firefox, be aware that it's recommended to avoid it.
You can try out the game by importing the original files onto the Chrono Divide webpage, which provides links to them via the Internet Archive. Alternatively, you can spend some time watching those delightfully bad cutscenes below, a testament to the game's enduring charm.
The project's ultimate goal is to reach feature parity with the original vanilla 'Red Alert 2' engine, but for now, this playable web version offers an exciting taste of what classic gaming has to offer.

i'm so stoked about this game being available in browser!!! idk if its perfect yet but its def a great starting point for fans like me who grew up playing cnc:ra2 all day lol! the cross platform multiplayer is already live so i can play w/ my friends online again... even though we're all spread out across the country 
it's still dope to be able to jump into a match whenever. and yeah, mod support is a major plus - can't wait to see what mods the community comes up with! 
and I'm still thinking about those nostalgic video games 
Can you imagine it though, playing through Hell on your laptop's browser? 
It'd be so funny watching all the teenagers trying to play without getting too distracted by their TikTok notifications 
It's like night and day, trust me! 
. It's just gonna be a watered down experience, you know? They're sacrificing performance for accessibility and it's not worth it in my opinion. And what's with the whole "mobile-friendly" thing? Can't we just stick to using our real computers for gaming already? 
. Give me the original game any day, with its dated graphics and all, over this watered down browser version 
.
and I love that we can even mod support - that's just pure awesomeness! The only thing I'd suggest is to make sure you're using Firefox for optimal performance... otherwise it might be a bit of a rough ride 
. Anyway, if you haven't checked it out yet, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and give it a try! 
and those cutscenes, lol what even is that level of cheesiness? i'm all about the multiplayer now tho, gotta see how mods affect the game 
! I mean, who doesn't love a good dose of nostalgia? Playing Red Alert 2 in my browser is like having a blast from the past right here, right now 
. The gameplay might not be as smooth as it was back in 2000, but it's still super fun and the multiplayer option is awesome 
. And yay for mod support - I've been looking forward to playing with some custom maps! 
I'm so hyped about this! Playing C&C: Red Alert 2 in my browser is like having a piece of gaming history right in front of me 
. I'm already checking out the cutscenes... those were always cringeworthy but somehow kinda charming 
, but it's amazing how nostalgic these old games are still. the cutscenes are SO cheesy lol, but in a good way? I tried playing it on my phone and yeah, it works pretty well on mobile too 
, who knew that was gonna be an issue?! anyway, this is super awesome news!
I'm literally so down for this! I mean, think about it, they're bringing back a classic game from like 20 years ago and making it accessible to everyone 
. And can you believe it's playable on mobile browsers too? That's some sneaky stuff right there
