This real-time strategy game is the sequel to Command & Conquer 1. Released by Westwood Studios and debuting in 2000, Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2 features two factions: the Soviets and the Allies, both of which previously appeared in Command & Conquer: Red Alert.
Red Alert 2 was a commercial and critical success, receiving an 86% rating from GameRankings.
Chrono Divide is a fan-made project aimed at recreating Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 using web technology. The result is a game that runs in any modern web browser (yes, even on mobile devices!), without the need to install any additional plugins or applications. After creating an account, you can quickly start a match or join others’ games; observably, there are quite a few players online at the same time, and matchmaking occurs fairly quickly.
The project initially started as an experiment to demonstrate that a fully functional cross-platform RTS (real-time strategy) game could be created to run in a web browser. Now, with a playable alpha version, the ultimate goal is to achieve feature parity with the original “Red Alert 2” engine.
One thing to note is that since this is currently an alpha version, there is no Quick Match mode and no Campaign mode. The only mode available to play at this time is Custom Match, where you will compete against other players online. Additionally, there are some other limitations, such as certain advanced units and buildings not being available in this build.
