downlords-faf-client VS OpenRA

supreme commander forged alliance and install forged alliance forever

supreme commander -> https://faforever.com/ is all you need

The real deal happens at http://faforever.com/

no worries. if you do end up trying supcom FA again, do yourself a favor and add this: https://faforever.com/ 15 years of community upgrades and progress and mods and ease of life features (even performance inproovements and graphics updates) for Forged Alliance condensed into one app.

Head to faforever.com (community run update project) and install/register that too.

I second this. still playing it to this day. it has a very active community of some 30 000 to 40 000 players over on the FAF client

Check out https://faforever.com/ if you haven't already

and yeah there are tons of people playing it actively these days (about 30 000 on the community-made FAF multiplayer client alone)

it's kept really active by a huge community of between 30,000 - 40,000 people on a platform called https://faforever.com/ (they've updated the graphics a bit)

After the movies, I wanted to experience Dune 2 again (the pirate sites have it, along with patches to make it playable on modern OSes or Crossover). It was arguably the first mass-market real-time strategy game. There's also OpenRA for C&C, Red Alert, and Dune 2K: https://www.openra.net/

I understand Square is re-making FF7 in a multi-part release over several years (not sure why it takes so long)? https://ffvii-remake-intergrade.square-enix-games.com/en-us/ Once it's all out, I might play through that again just for nostalgia's sake (and for the soundtrack, of course! Twenty years later, I still have Aeris's Theme stuck in my head from time to time)

Obligatory reminder:Red Alert,Command & Conquer, Dune 2000, Rebuilt for the Modern Era.

I recently found an open source version that has been fun (https://www.openra.net/).

You can import those from ISOs: https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki/Game-Content but the campaign is not complete afaik as it needs to be re-built in OpenRA: https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/issues/4989 (I think this is the related ticket)

Alternatively OpenRA has a bunch of C&C inspired mods: https://www.openra.net I think this way is the easiest way to get a C&C like experience on a M1 Mac right now.

I always liked the original Red Alert so I play a lot of OpenRA https://www.openra.net
