When it comes to RTS gaming, maps make the world go 'round.
Just when you think you've mastered the game with some
tried-and-true strategy, along comes a map with some terrain
feature or design that your enemy is able to cleverly exploit
that renders your sure-fire strat little more than a pipe dream
as your Con Yard takes it in the chin from a squadron of Prism
Tanks. Since Red Alert 2's much anticipated release, the
Westwood team has kept up its commitment to the community by
releasing multi-player maps every week, challenging RA2 fiends
to find new strategies and tactics for online play. Now it's
your turn. Westwood is proud to announce the release of
FinalAlert 2. Westwood's new free
map editor FinalAlert 2 Yuri
lets you break out the toolbox and create your own maps for
Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge.
The new editor improves upon the original Final Alert 2 map
editor released back in June 2001. The map editor is both
powerful and easy to use, and includes features like:
- Fexibility: Make maps of virtually any size
- Terrain editing tools let you create maps of every style --
fight from cliffs, terrorize a city, or go head-to-head on the
high seas
- Intuitive interface makes map-making easier than ever before;
robust toolbox allows you to create professional-level maps
- Easy-to-use trigger system breathes life into your maps with
scripted events -- create a windfall of reinforcements or rain
down enemy troops
- Share your map with the world. You can play your multi-player
maps over Westwood Online
- Single-player map capability allows you to create new
scenarios between the Allies and the Soviets
- Lighting editor lets you pick the climate and time of day,
from a temperate morning to a snowy eve
- Sophisticated tools -- from toggling map visibility factors to
making victory conditions -- allow you to create whole
single-player campaigns.
