    They are all marked as Singleplayer. Is that just a mistake or did they strip out any multiplayer functionality?

    Also: will this require Origin?

      If online play is your jam then there is always https://cncnet.org/ It shows there are 493 people playing Yuri’s Revenge as I type this.

      Not all the games are free to play. Some of them require you to copy some files from a paid version. So this sale is still relevant. Check out the FAQ at the url above.

      My brother and I started playing Mental Omega instead. It’s a rewrite based off Yuri. It has new units, structures, abilities, and AI/balancing tweaks. http://mentalomega.com/

      Unlike RA2 you can no longer just deploy 100 GI’s and mow down everything that comes at them. That never really made sense when a tank rolls by. In Mental Omega the tank will kill them all. Cause they’re just guys with rifles against a heavy armor tank…

        Yuri’s Revenge had dolphins with laser beams strapped to them as a commandable unit and you’re worried about the logistics of small arms destroying a tank?
