What is Combined Arms?


It’s a completely free Command & Conquer game built on the OpenRA engine.

What started out as a simple fusion of the Westwood original Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert games, the project evolved by incorporating a plethora of new units, gameplay mechanics, and additional features.

The game includes five main factions:

Allies

Soviets

GDI

Nod

Scrin


Each of which, having four unique sub-factions with their own units, powers and upgrades.

Drawing from the extensive C&C franchise, the game incorporates units, structures, powers, and upgrades recreated in the Tiberian Dawn/Red Alert art style.

A comprehensive campaign, currently encompassing 34 missions, unfolds a narrative detailing the interwoven universes and timelines.

The experience extends further with Skirmish AI difficulties ranging from Easy to Brutal, providing a challenge even for highly skilled players.

Over 450 maps are included, including many competitive maps used in the base RA mod of OpenRA.

Balancing for competitive play has been a major focus. We host 1v1 ladder servers linked to player rankings and statistics, and hope to build a competitive community moving forward.

The recent update appears to have broken the main menu background battle.

Hmm, the only thing I can think of is that you installed (or extracted) over the top of a previous version, which can cause problems with the menu map.

Ah, yeah that seems to have been the problem. Reinstalling it fixed it. Loving the new background battle menu!

Edit: After completing a skirmish, the background reverted to the previous version's battle which is broken. Something is definitely wrong, I think. Starting up the game gives me the actual one, but after completing a skirmish, it breaks.

Edit 2: Complete Uninstall and Reinstall appears to have fixed it for good.

Hi!

I'm still missin' the good ol' Mammoth Mk.II for the GDI, and the Montauk for Nod. (I know it's in Tiberium Essence, but still..)

Hello, once again wanted to show my appreciation for the highest quality fan-made C&C experience i've played. Love what you've done going back and creating voice lines which sound authentic. The Soviet version of the Red Alert EVA was a surprise.

Wanted as well to let you know that on the first mission of the NOD episode, if you put an Infiltrator into the Allied War Factory then you can build the Grizzly Tank. The issue (if you would even consider it an issue) is this tank will spawn with a red colour rather than the white/grey colour of NOD. If this wasn't a creative choice by yourself then I hope this is useful info.

Thanks again.

Much appreciated!

For the campaign we tried to replicate the "red, but with white units" colour scheme for Nod, which basically meant manually overriding palettes for specific units. There are probably other units that will be red rather than white for Nod too; I think it's an acceptable edge case for now but I'll add it to my backlog to fix.

In the upcoming version the Grizzly Tank will no longer be available via infiltration. Stay tuned!

This mod feels really great to play with all the latest updates and new units it has. But if I may make one request, is there a possibility of reducing the extent in which the AI cheats for money? I can understand that for the hardest difficulties, but it feels very unfair on normal, easy and even hard that it does this... That is the only criticism I have of the mod, otherwise, stellar work.

Hia, thanks & glad you like the mod. The AI builds units faster and more cheaply on Hard difficulty and above. On Normal it just has a small amount of income (less than one harvester's worth) if it gets low on money, to prevent it from getting stuck unable to produce anything. Easy has no money or production advantages at all.
