11/27/97- The
latest issue of PC Gamer talks more about Sole Survivor, the upcoming Westwood
game. Basically, it is a C&C style internet only game where the player
controls only 1 unit. Various powerups can improve one of 5 different characteristics
including armor, reload rate, speed, range, and weapon strength. As far
as C&C: Red Alert is concerned, not much more is planned.

11/10/97- Aftermath
has been out for some time now. It includes new units for both sides. For
the Soviets, new units include the Tesla Tank, Sea-Land Missle Submarine
(finally!), Shock Troopers, and the Hammer-Hitting M.A.D. Tank. For the
Allies come the Stealthy Chronotank and Unit-repairing Field Mechanic.
Definitly work checking out for the hardcore Red alert fans.

8/21/97- A
patch for Red Alert AND Counterstrike has been released by Westwood. It
works with both versions of C&C. The patch is suppose to improve error
handling and increases LAN and modem compatibility, randomizes player starting
locations in multi-player games, and stops players from allying with computer
players during skirmishes or multi-player games. A multi-player save game
feature has been added too, as well as a new option that allows players
to slow down unit build rates during Internet games – so this is a fairly
significant upgrade. DOWNLOAD
IT HERE! (Please note that by now there may be newer patches)

8/08/97- "Aftermath"
is the working title for Westwood's next Red Alert add-on. Also in the
works are "C&C 2:Tiberian Sun" and "Commando", a 3D action game that
uses the voxel technology found in "Blade Runner".

7/16/97- All
is slow in Red Alert land, not much is new. If you have purchased Counterstrike,
you will notice it upgrades your original 1.04 Red Alert to 1.07E. This
patch fixes the problems metioned below in the previous news headline.
Unfortunately, there is no sign that Westwood is going to release a patch
for users who have not bought Counterstrike. If you want the update and
fixes, you'll need to buy Counterstrike. Rumors indicate that Westwood
is going to release new enhanced versions of C&C on DVD once DVD drives
becomes popular. Command and Conquer 2 is in the works and I can't wait
to head up more mayhem!
-
4/25/97- A
patch for Red Alert will be available very soon. The patch will address
several problems and concerns that players have expressed since Counterstrike
release. The patch will supposedly allow you to use the new units in multiplayer
games, allow those without Counterstrike to play the add-on maps anyway,
eliminate the Tank Rush strategy by slowing the speed of tank building
at the start of the game, and add a "hard" difficulty level on single-player
games.
