CnCNet - recent releases
- Ranked matches are divided into two leagues for Yuri’s Revenge - Champions and Contenders League. Contenders league allows newer players to compete in matches against similar skilled players.
- Ranked matches can be observed by a small vetted list of CnCNet streamers.
- Red Alert 2 Mode - Fixes Dog and Flak trooper behaviour, as per original Red Alert 2 gameplay. When dogs & Flak troopers are stationary, attacked, then commanded to move, they start running (crawling for Flak Trooper) and get a speed boost. Credits Belonit & Starkku
