Red Alert is a spin-off of the Command & Conquer series, which is even more popular in China than the main body, and is one of the most popular real-time strategy games (RTS) in Internet cafes in the past. However, today, when RTS sunsets, it is shelved by ea. Fortunately, some enthusiastic fans are still working on folk updates, such as the team behind mental omega. End of hearts is a megamod for Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2, co-created by people around the world who love Red Alert. After more than 15 years of continuous development, after upgrading to version 3.3.6, it was finally completed recently!
The team's lead designer Speeder announced the good news on Twitter for the first time, proudly telling fans that "the work is done." By early November, Speeder and his team had uploaded the 3.3.6 version of End of hearts to the moddb website, the ultimate version of red alert 2 megamod, and completely free, with a total of 133 mission campaigns designed for the four factions.
After upgrading to the latest version 3.3.6, 9 new missions and a new game mode have been added. All rts players start the game from the center of a "land grab" map, with a total of 40 standard maps, 10 "land grab" maps, 2 island maps, 5 "koth" variant maps, new units, new buildings, new art forms, and balance adjustments. This update has been waiting for more than 1 year, and for Red Alert fans, it is worth it.
The most impressive thing about "End of mind" is not its scale, but the dedication of the developers over the years. It's one thing to love games and take the time to develop a mod, it's another thing to invest 15 years in a row, which is longer than the maintenance work done officially.
Fans welcome the new version, but also care about follow-up work, such as the "End of the Mind" two-act battle, will not do a third act in the future. However, Speedy and the team will take a break for a while.
EA has not given up on Command & Conquer for many years, 2018 has produced a mobile game of Command and Conquer, and in 2020 released a remake of Command and Conquer, hoping that they will restart the Red Alert series in the future.
