Personally I'd LOVE to see YR get the MADHQ treatment.

Just throwing ideas about, but maybe converting RA1 missions to RA2? obviously won't be perfect 1:1 conversions, but I daresay the feel and spirit of the missions could translate pretty well.

Aye if you wanted to redo some stuff on your Soviet missions, I'd play those too. I've played through the ones you've done already and they were excellent as well.

For TS, tbh it wouldn't mean too much to me. I played it a bit many years ago when I was younger, I liked it but I just preferred RA2 so just played that instead. And still play it today lol.

As for YR, tbh I think you'd make a great remake of it. Your remakes of RA2 campaigns weren't just like touchups of the Westwood missions, it was the whole map redesign and trigger rework (AI included), like a whole reimagining and gives a new and much better take on those missions. The increase in difficulty was nice too, got caught off guard a couple of times whilst playing lol. Personally I think you're an outstanding map maker and to see the same quality and attention to detail put into a YR campaign remake would just be brilliant. Some missions in particular get me excited by just the thought lol.

But that's just my opinion. I'll play any missions you make for RA2/YR, and i'm sure there are TS fans who'd play remakes of those missions if you did them.

I have released updated versions of both my remastered Red Alert 2 campaigns. Not recommended for use with mods, Out-of-Box fully patched Ra2 recommended.
There was quite a lot of small changes in these version; fixes, enhancements, balance.

They are located on my site (https://zombapro.ppmsite.com/), on the missions page.

I think there is still more releases of things I can do for those missions, but it does take allot to work on them seeing as there is 24. But with all the stuff I did on that release, it was enough... For now...

A few days ago, I started the basic map layout for Yuri's Revenge Allied mission 1... Not sure if I will complete them... But I may as well try... The problem with completing them, is I never really had to much of a problem with the Yuri missions, they worked for the most part...

Remakes of the YR missions would be welcome, I always thought the first missions in San Francisco looked a bit cramped. It could do with your touch to make it a bit more realistically scaled.

Well SF should be a vast wasteland of rolling hills and all you get is overiszed plantation houses on a brutally non-urban map.

Just finished your updated RA2 campaigns, very good, a lot of fun, I enjoyed them a lot.

Very happy to hear you've started work on the YR ones, I do definitely hope you decide to finish them. I stand by my comment earlier in this topic praising your mission making skills, and I'm very excited by the thought of you finishing those YR missions.

LOL, Well... The Yuri allied mission 3 I am stuck on. Cant see to get the nuke targeting to work, Preferred Target Cell Set does not seem to work.

So, as of now not sure what to do...

On a side note, I am experimenting with a mobile version of this site. If you are on a laptop/desktop you should not be seeing the mobile version of this site.
You will know if its the mobile version, as you will see a red bar at the top specifying the mobile version.
I have made quite a few simplifications across this site for the mobile version, hopefully everything still works.

Frustrating thing is I have been having allot of FTP access issue with my site... So, if there is an issue, who knows how long it will take to fix.
