OpenRA is a Libre/Free Real Time Strategy game engine that recreates the early Westwood games like the classic Command & Conquer: Red Alert. Distributed mods include a reimagining and updating of both the Red Alert and Command & Conquer multiplayer games.
The latest release 20161019 now comes with the much improved game content installer. Also it’s now able to copy and install game assets from many more installation sources, such as the original release CDs and the First Decade DVDs. In addition is installed copies of the Dune 2000 Gruntsmod edition and even the C&C Ultimate Edition from Origin. In addition to this, for the first time ever, the content installer will now also automatically install the campaign briefing videos, which means you no longer have to do that manual
