Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2<\/em> knew how to lay on the camp. But it wasn\u2019t only known for having some of the most delightfully cheesy cutscenes this side of The 7th Guest<\/em>. Red Alert 2<\/em> was also an acclaimed real-time strategy game for its time, and it\u2019s still perfectly playable today. Want to see for yourself? It\u2019s now as easy as opening your browser.<\/p>\n

The Chrono Divide<\/a> project (via PC Gamer<\/em><\/a>) lets you play the 2000 RTS in Chrome, Edge, or Safari. Although it supports Firefox, too, its developer says it should be avoided if you want \u201cgood performance.\u201d It even works in mobile browsers.<\/p>\n

Chrono Divide supports cross-platform multiplayer using all the original maps. (You can use some mods, too.) In fact, according to PC Gamer<\/em>, multiplayer is about your only option. Red Alert 2<\/em>\u2019s single-player campaign modes (where you\u2019ll encounter those \u201cso bad, they\u2019re good\u201d cutscenes) are still a work in progress.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe project initially started out as an experiment and was meant to prove that it was possible to have a fully working, cross-platform RTS game running in a web browser,\u201d the project\u2019s website reads. \u201cNow, with a playable version already available, the end-goal is reaching feature parity with the original vanilla \u2018Red Alert 2\u2019 engine.\u201d<\/p>\n

You can take it for a spin on the Chrono Divide webpage<\/a>. You\u2019ll need to import the original game files to begin. (The website automatically inserts a link to them on the Internet Archive.) But we won\u2019t fault you if you\u2019d rather opt for watching Red Alert 2<\/em>\u2019s fabulously corny cutscenes below.<\/p>\n
