Red Alert - Do ppl still play this online?

I loved this game many years ago. Played it on my cousin's PC and also on the PS1. Is this still a game that ppl play online or dead now?

…made me get the spade out. I dug up an August 2020 interview with EA producer Jim Vessella "jimtern", who was the passionate community-friendly driving force behind the project.

Command & Conquer Remastered Collection was a success - so what's next for the revived RTS franchise?

I think it's fair to say Command & Conquer Remastered Collection was a resounding success. EA's nostalgia-fuelled real-…

"it's fair to say Command & Conquer Remastered Collection was a resounding success"
"a hit with fans and critics alike when it launched in June - and it saw big sales on Steam"
"We were in the top of the Steam sales charts for a few weeks"

While there's no commitment for the future I've heard of, that article looks pretty positive—but we must allow that it's colored by Jim's obvious passion for C&C. Seems safe to say there's no reason to be discouraged, and the public reaction could indeed hardly be better—currently 91% positive from 19K Steam users & 82% on Metacritic.

Steam's lists are usually regional so it might not have been on the list very long (or at all) for you.

It's just incredible , I didn't even know that they were preparing a remaster , I thought that the series was buried after the failure of part 4.I hope they will revive this legend!

I am a real big fan of Command And Conquer Generals.
It is very disappointing that there won't be Generals 2
In addition Red alert 2 and 3 are very nice.
but for C&C Remastered I don't really see it enjoyable.

I guess not if you compare it to the later games in the series. Probably mainly appeals to those who played the originals—I'm one of those, so I loved it
