RA: Reloaded released, & two APB Blogs Jul 13 2010, 01:08 AM Chronojam
Good news, everyone! Player1 just released his mod-of-a-mod, the appropriately titled Red Alert: Reloaded. Built on top of Bittah Commander's Dawn of the Tiberian Age (a must-have standalone Tiberian Sun conversion), RA:R brings the world of Red Alert 1 back to life on Tiberian Sun's engine. Both of these fantastic conversions help you sidestep a lot of the problems and clunkiness that made the first two C&C games a bit tricky to play these days. You must have DTA to play RA:R so be sure to get both!
There are also two new dev blogs up! First, PointlessAmbler shows off his work on the new launcher/configuration tool for NW/Gamma in the July 10 blog. Next, I've got the list of confirmed and tentative maps for Gamma (nearly 30) plus some previews of brand new mapwork in the July 12 blog. In addition we've got new propwork, parabombs, and ten minutes of testing footage. Be sure to check out both new APB blogs!
AW Clan Forum issue Jul 2 2010, 02:55 PM Chronojam
If you have an account at the AW Clan forum, you should immediately change your passwords if you have used the same one elsewhere. There was reportedly a security issue recently that may have exposed your password, and their forums have been taken offline as a precaution.
Remember, do not use identical passwords at multiple locations. Do not use the same password at your clan forum as you do at the official game or server forums.

After a fairly long wait, the Apocalypse Rising blog is here! This week's blog is PACKED with awesome content such as, the Allied IFV, Soviet Radar Dome Spy Plane and Terror Drone rooms along with the the Soviet Conscript and two awesome videos from our latest test build!
The next batch of testers has been selected and can now download the new internal build. If your name suddenly appears in red, that means you were chosen. A full list of testers will be posted tonight in the APB Blog, along with some other updates.
Aaron Kaufman has recently announced that he will no longer be the C&C community manager after today; his replacement will be Per Bonomi from the Battlefield Heroes community. He makes it very clear that this was a personal choice carefully made after reflecting upon where he wants to go with his family and career.

I'll never forget my first act of duty as the C&C Community Manager, I got Zero Hour patched! The community reaction was like peace had been restored to the world! It was from that point on that I felt like my journey as your Community Manager truly began ... As cheesy as it may sound, I'm just a sentimental APOC if you never knew, and it may just come from how emotionally tied I have been to this community, it absolutely breaks my heart to tell you today, I will be stepping down as your C&C Community Manager and leaving EA after what has been one helluva rollercoaster ride. Today is my last official day here at EALA.
Please view the full topic for the entire message sent out to community webmasters, just before lunch today.
