tl;dr: OpenRA's new playtest-20260222 introduces random map generators for Red Alert, Tiberian Dawn, and Dune 2000, usable in both Skirmish and Multiplayer. Dune 2000 gets new visual effects, Starport bulk purchasing, and a community-led balance overhaul, while the standalone Tiberian Dawn HD mod is now feature-complete with selectable remastered or classic assets. Other additions include map editor improvements, expansion-base-building bots, auto-save, and new missions for RA and TD.
HN Discussion:
  • OpenRA improves on the original with better balance and features
  • Nostalgic fond memories of playing the original Red Alert games
  • Praise for OpenRA project and recommendation to watch competitive play
  • Publishers like EA should open-source more older games
  • Other open-source engine remakes (Augustus, fheroes2) are also great
