MY review of the Addon disks

Red Alert has got to be one of the best war games I ever played and multiplayer is very good.

Not long after Westwood Studios released Red Alert they released a mission disk for it. To expand on the game with 16 new missions to test you and I have nearly completed them.

Counterstrike is the exciting and fun companion disk to Command and Conquer Red Alert . It is full of action , and technologies and disavowed tactics.

 

What do you get for your £14.99, lets take a look.

4. The key to unlocking the hidden Giant Ant missions (very hard)

5. 8 new audio tracks.

6. 3 difficulty settings.

7. Play any mission in any order.

2. Latest up-grades for Command and Conquer Red Alert (Updates the program to V1.07e.

People say that with Couterstrike you should be able to use the new units in the multiplayer games, which come with Counterstrike but can only be used in the new missions.

Note

To use the new units in The Aftermath in your multiplayer games each player MUST own The Aftermath mission disk!!!!!!!

 

With the Aftermath mission disk you get new units to use in your multiplayer games this is due to people not being to happy with the first mission disk Counterstrike were you could only use the new units that came with Counterstrike.In the new missions only and that was limited to certain missions. So they released The Aftermath mission disk and now you can use the new units within your multiplayer games even the Tesla Tank which came with Counterstrike which I think was a cheek but never mind. It's still a good game and mission disk.
