Tiberian Sun/Firestorm:
- Tiberian Sun Station: TSS has moved to http://dewman.wi3k.net/ts and their host, Strategy Gaming Central moved to the old TSS's url: http://dewman.wi3k.net/
dEw_MaN did that to avoid problems with SGC forums that were having annoying cookie problems because of the old url of SGC.
Also, I'd like to remind that SGC will host Rampage in a soon future.
- TS: Savage War: Hellfire has uploaded a fixed version of Tiberian Sun Retro 1.1 over there. Head to their site to download it (SMIFF needs to update his post in the TSR forums).
Red Alert 2/Yuri's Revenge:
- Allies Revenge 2: CnC: Unleashed has a new review of Allies Revenge 2 written by AtOMIC_SQUIRREL03 that rated AR2 in 92/100. The review also provides strategies for each side.
Also, AR2's forums are now located in Derelict Studios. The posts were kept, but all registrations were lost. You will only need to register again if you werent registered in the old Blitzkrieg forums or never registered in Derelict Studios before...
- C&C Reloaded: CnC Frontline has 16 new and exclusive screenshots of C&C Reloaded that is near to be released. So, if you are willing to play it, be patient and start planning your strategies, since Apocalypses, Disruptors, Cyborg Commandos and Prism Tanks in the same battlefield will certainly cause a massive destruction
.
