  • and still better then starcraft

  • tex oyo

  • Stubbed your toe? MAMMOTH TANKS. Spilled Milk? MAMMOTH TANKS. Burnt Dinner? MAMMOTH TANKS. Cat scratched you? MAMMOTH TANKS. Girlfriend broke up with you? MAMMOTH TANKS. MAMMOTH TANKS, MAMMOTH TANKS, MAMMOTH TANKS!!!

  • overkilll

  • Red Alert is a great game. It's nostalgic and you can have man-eating dogs. I mean, how many other strategic based games have dogs? :DDD

    Oh, and mammoth tanks rock too. :)

  • My favourite where the battleships. You could end bases with just two of 'em!

  • i play this on mac

  • the mammoths were orginally from GDI in command and conquer. no idea how they went to the soviets....

  • @Tantemify red alert happen before Command and Conquer Tiberium Dawn with Nod and GDI,if you finish the game with Soviet it begin the time lines of Tiberium dawn Usa become the GDI and Soviet the Nod,go look soviet ending in red alert 1

  • OVERKILL????

  • harverster under attack

  • my pc freaked out when i had more then 10 mammoth tanks attaking!!

  • i LOVE this game. RA 4ever

  • this was my personal favorite from the series

  • I miss this!

  • Damn, i remember a time where i was using them mammoth tanks, I lost to a whole bunch of light tanks. I guess it's because Light tanks are the weakness of mammoth tanks.

  • da hell Mammoth tanks were awesome...they can shoot at anything air and ground units alike...and with most tanks you had to run over enemy infanry...but with mammoths you just blast em to pieces

  • best to click though this one

  • I'm impressed!

  • you always knew when u got the ability to build these beasts it was game over for the enemy.

  • Remember when me and my brother went to the city to buy this game in 1997. Ahh good times! When PC games were actually worth buying.

  • I cant remember which Allied mission in RA1 you start immediately under attack by a bunch of those tanks. I hated that level!

  • You get a like for the music alone.

  • tripod walks in........ oh god run! oh and the mammoth mk 1 is the tanks & the mark 2 is the super walker

  • @Jmek96 they were called mammoth tanks in Red Alert 1 but were replaced by Apocalypse tanks in the subsequent Red Alert games, which weren't nearly as cool as the mammoths.

  • @Parabueto lol k its bin a while

  • @Parabueto and looks hilarious

  • @Parabueto Mammoth ftw.

  • @ParabuetoA 3 stared Apocalypse is strong as hell actually.

  • @Parabueto Wrong. They were just as cool, with even better quotes.

  • @Jmek96  apocalypce tank is stronger, mammoth has only 600 hp, apocalypce tank 800hp

  • @munapaska Yeah but mammoth tanks can shoot aircraft and does more damage against infantry :P. But the animation of the attacks from the apocalypse looks epic :D

  • MUST. HAVE. MORE. MAMMOTH TANKS!!!

  • I'm pretty sure that 95% of my income on this game went to building these monsters!

  • i love this game still in 2011 its just addicting

  • xD

  • Mammoth rushing XD

  • mammoth tanks are bad ass indeed, but Heavy tanks are better. Think about it, Mammoth tanks cost twice as much, but arn't twice as good. sure they have rockets for infantry but then again you can just run over them

  • my favourite tactics, Transporters full of Mamooths.

    ahhhh good old times

    I cried ;)

  • This is not the first game with mammoth tanks. The first ones appeared in C&C Tiberium Dawn.

  • ДЛЯ МАТЕРИ РОССИЯ Товарищи!

  • its the battlefield 'come to the nave they said' very large in skirmish mode

  • I'd spam Apache's ;]

  • Those mammoth tanks dont stand a chance against cruisers. Or even destroyers.

  • @heyitsyeh I killed a lot of destroyers with mammoth tanks. Ok, maybe if you move a destroyer far enogh away from the beach it can still hit the mammoth tank without getting shot, but the computer almost never has them so far away from the beach when attacking land units, so using mammoth tanks against destroyers would not be a bad strategy in skirmish, if the computer even builds them (the computer normally doesn't build any naval units in skirmish).

  • before ea raped and pillaged the originals

  • I might be mistaken, but i think there where mammoth tanks in C&C, in that case RA wasn't the first game with mammoth tanks ;)

  • Thanks for the upload.

    I was more a light tank man myself. Man, those things were quick.

    Overkill with Mammoth Tanks is always nice, though.

  • Mammoth tanks.. The bane of infantry.

  • Good Times.... If youre just killing time, you should look up From First To Last's cover of Hell March!!! Its really edgy!

  • blitzkrieg, the universal red alert strategy

  • Oh god,I just remembered how boring this game is XD

  • I used to love this game and i still do :D

  • join the westwood republican army! take back C&C! force EA to re-incarnate westwood! PEACE TROUGH POWER!!!!!

  • @westwoodarmy no brother destroy ea any C&C game made by ea will be a Redneck inbred abomination, DEATH TO EA , and ressurection to a new greater WESTWOOD

  • @sword4005 Funny,Cuz' EA saved Red alert.Ever played Tib sun? Renegade?Generals?Red alert 2?you own it all to EA. without EA,Westwood would have been closed down after Ra1.True fact.

  • @Israelyguy14 while i can admit westwood was bought by ea and there money funded the realase of tib sun and the others EA started taking more and more control over what was put into the games causing the decline in video games my example is C&C4, most of westwood had quit before then anyway so it wasewnt really westwoods anymore, they moved on tov Petroglyph Games which we should all support for new epic games

  • @sword4005 Funny,since petroglyph games sucks.

  • @Israelyguy14 guess will just have to agree to disagree

  • @sword4005 in fact,their games are fail.people like it only because it's Westwood.But who Am I kidding?even if westwood posted a shitty game,you people wold still go "omfg,it's Better then EA did,LOlOLOL!"

  • @Israelyguy14 and i could say then same about you mr EA is awesome , they shit out rainbows and unicorns

  • @sword4005 I did not Say EA is awesome.I said it's not bad as every WestWood turd tries to make them.

  • i believe if i had an island on that map, i could destroy all those tanks, bring on the migs!!

  • Ack-  *phlegm* -knowledged

  • I found mammoth tanks to be quite vulnerable actually

  • unit lost unit lost unit lost .... training .. training ... unit lost .. building..building..unit lost ............ our base is under attack

  • @Parabueto yeah since now red alert 2 & 3 are on seperate timelines it was only and easter of some sort

  • For me Mommoth Tank is most memorable unit in rts history.

    Changing name to Apocalypse was bad idea.

    Good thing old good Mammoths returned in Tiberium Wars.

  • @gregdrako The Mammoths were made from GDI and Westwood thought it would be a bad idea if the ''Soviets'' had Mammothtank so they changed their name but in RA 2 they're still badass

  • @PrafektRider I still prefer name: Mammoth Tank

  • give me a soviet armor-charge any day...

  • mfw the old red alert games were battles of attrition

  • a close fight.

  • when i used to play with my friends 9 years ago, this amount of tanks were enough to win even not moving them from your base. I just call my friend to come and see. after that, if they don't have same army, they surrender.

    yeah.... that was ggod time

  • Hey ive heard this song from Red Alert 3... is this the first song of Red Alert before it was place in Red Alert 3??

  • @vongoladecimo23

    You are correct. The song playing is 'hell march' from red alert 1.

    When they made red alert 2 & 3 the title songs were slightly different- hell march 2 and hell march 3 (sometimes just HM2 and HM3) I personally think that they're awesome pieces of music and are worth a listen.

  • @Parabueto

    I always put up the song when I'm about to attack...

  • @vongoladecimo23 I tihnk the Original "Hell March" from RS1 is the Best personally :P

  • @vongoladecimo23 yes its called Hell march!

  • @vongoladecimo23 this rendition in my opinion is the best of the 3, but the other two are really good as well

  • @SirSlush91 whats the title of this again? because I wanted to download the Red Alert 3 version of this because I lost the one ive already downloaded... and when i try to search Hell March 3 is that it always ends up with the intro of Red Alert 3...

  • @vongoladecimo23 Its called "Hell March" by Frank Klepacki

  • @Parabueto Red Alert was supposed to be a stand alone prequel to Tiberian Dawn. EA told Westwood to make more however so they shat out RA2 not really caring about story (that's why everything went so retarded from one game to the next)

  • i love plying this on my playstation 1 <3

  • i just finished a game of RA, i played it on windows 7 32 bit, fps was fine, only 1 needed. just before you start you have to open windows 7s screen resolution window, dont ask why ( i have no idea) but if you dont, youll get disco colours all throughout the game

  • how do you record you playing?

  • @Parabueto

    Orignally Tiberium and Red Alert were supposed to be the same universe but after it's sucess the made it a seprate universe

  • I MISS WESTWOOD

  • I remember online with my friend. friend: Dude, what do you have under the Fog of war?!?!?!? Me: not telling friend *Scout plane* Me: damn... friend: why do you need 15 war factories? me: cuz of this... me: *25 mammoth tanks hit his shore in landing craft behind his base* Friend: HOLY FUCKING SHIT me: Mission, Accompleshed friend: Mission, Failed. friend: omg.... WTF MAN!??!?!?!? me: heh heh heh
  • man i hated the second you attacked their ore miner they would send their whole army after you :(  you better be ready!!!

  • the special map on red alert 1 lunar mission or something, the tank and buildings are switched allied will get airport and heavy tank, plus rockets on some bullet units

    soviet get the medium tank and other stuff i cant remember ^.^

  • the best strategic game  with generals mode shocwave

  • i dont remember the graphics being so bad... I guess I just got spoiled over the years ahha

  • @lexmark136 they arent that bad. You cant see the small 2D details at all in this vid at least, its much better in real life

  • I'm with you on the whole nostalgia thing, but was it just me or did I see your computer lagging from playing a relic from the 1990s?

  • @Scrapped55 Yes it is indeed lagging. I no longer have that computer so I can't verify exactly why, but there could be a few causes. Fraps didn't like this game (see frame counter at the top left), my computer at the time wasn't overly powerful so running fraps and playing could have lagged and the movie editor was fairly low quality and it may have compressed the video to 15 frames per second potentially causing those 'jumps'.

    I'm fairly sure normal playing was OK.

  • @Parabueto what computer did you use? windows 95? or windows 7?

  • @daviesguns69 This was running Red Alert from the Worldwide Warfare pack on windows XP. I can't get it to run on win 7 for love nor money. It's lagging because Fraps is messing it up.

  • @Parabueto ok

  • @Parabueto I got it to work with the First Decade pack. The problem might not just be FRAPS, but also the game's engine. I have a pretty powerful machine myself, but FRAPS doesn't like a lot of older games. I get problems with other older games like Fallout.

  • @Scrapped55 It happens because there are so many of them. Just because a computer is light years ahead in hardware, doesn't mean that the game can draw on all of it.

  • @meh23p

    Nah, it's because he's running FRAPs to capture video.

  • fuck mammoth tanks were the best

  • woot woot woot mammoths! the virtual toys of my childhood :X

  • i used to do that with light tanks XD

  • Needs moar tanks

  • Oh man this is beautiful.

  • PANZERKRIEG

  • the old westwood mammoth tanks truly a classic

    

  • Suddenly, mammoth tanks, hundreds of them!!!

  • Its much better to buy heavy tanks as same cost.

    Pwns much better.

  • those mammoth tanks own those awkward as hell looking tanks from RA3

  • those were the days...

  • Whenever I try to send that many Mammoths somewhere, the drivers decide to have a drink first. The buggers never drive in a straight line. Or even go where I tell them, deciding to take a long cut through the enemy base. This is a very fun game though.

  • This mammoth tank would own that Twilight Apocalypse tank from RA3.

  • Mammoth tank in RA is much stronger than Apocalpyse in RA2. miss this game alot

  • Sweet, good old Red Alert. ;)

  • the game still looks good,better then CNC4 acctualy

  • @alexander1t Obviously, C&C 4 is a peice of crap. It's not even like any of the other C&C games you get 1 vehicle that makes all of your other ones, and you have to level up in order to unlock new units, even in story.

  • God i miss those Mammoth Tanks.. Red Alert 1 ftw <3

  • lol this reminds me of my first touch with this game when I was 4, I fiddled with settings and deleted a 40 mammoth tank save game of my brother

  • howcome part 2 and 3 are uglyer than RED ALERT 1 ????

  • As far as the allies ending goes, it foretells the story about the continued war against Russia. Russia is almost crushed in RA1 yes, but in RA2 they have rebuilt the army and begin their offence against the allies forces and cities. I believe the commander in RA2 is the same commander as in the end of RA1 as a matter of fact. So RA2 expands on the story with the soviets against the allies. Keep in mind theese are just theories but they do hold alot of similarities.

  • Here's the backstory. RA is the prequel to RA2 and CnC. The story is that in the Russian ending you have someone that looks like Cane from CnC. What i think it is that, the russian ending tells the story of how Cane got into power and as you can see in the first CnC game Tiberium is still fairly new and not to spread yet. And which is where Canes rise to power begins. The story then develops from there into the other games and expands the stroy about Cane, tiberium and NOD.

  • EA srcewed C&C

  • jesus... 5 would have been enough :P

  • Nice. That would be a good killer strategy if you could prevent your enemy from spotting that attack force.

  • the old skool mammoth was bad ass

  • Rip westwood ..... Ea is shity firm i dont know why ppl buy this all this shit from ea

  • thats not the mamoth tank dumbass

  • Ahhh the Mammoth Tanks... gotta love those things

  • i liked the original because it was like a chess game. develop quickly, get all your pieces to attack, destroy base (queen) etc. this new is crap, i just don't understand it, seems to me like you constantly need to fight to reach the same position or such, 5 min was enough for me.

  • hell yeah, mammoth tanks - they blow everything away :D

  • :[  This was back when Red Alert was a cool game....

  • can not beit the originals

  • @DeluxeTimeBomb still is mate, still is ;) in my opinion RA2 is best, and then Yuri's Revenge pack added, oh man oh man ;D

  • in my opinion this RA game is the best out of all the released so far. cant even COMPARE to this game. not a chance

  • The best mammoth tanks have ever looked... big and beefy! in later versions they dont even look half this good!! to bad they got nerfed too :(

  • man... i was 10 when i first played this game. I'm almost crying because i can't play it on my new computer anymore; great game, better than every later Command and Conquer, and it has a so much better storyline

  • @xxxGandhixxx

    you can always get "The First Decade" to get all cnc games from CnC to Zero Hour.

    And I might think there are some fix for the old CD's.

    Remember to turn off your explorer.exe or else you will get some crazy shrome colors (allmost inverted).

  • @xxxGandhixxx

    You can download it free now (legally) from their website. Also, why can't you play it? What OS you have and what is it doing? Perhaps I can help.

  • @unclefestus

    yeah, but i don't need to download it, i still have the original CDs ;)

    Thanks, i already figured out how to play it on XP, it works !

    Great, now i won't have time for anything else^^

  • @xxxGandhixxx

    Ah good. Now give em hell, commrade.

  • @unclefestus Affirmative!

  • I want this to work on my 64bit windows 7! :// does anyone know how?

  • in tirberum sireies the mammoth is used by the gdi becuse if the soviets vins in red alert 1 the tiberum comes if the allied does the red alert 2 and then 3 comes

  • pwned

  • shit heavy tanks is the way to go online, you dont have time to build mammoth tanks if your playing anyone decent, the way to win is tank rush

  • whats group is this?

  • wow is he getting lagg or is it just the video editing?

  • On the note of overpowered though.. MIGs are massively overpowered.

    they tank tank a lot of aa damage, theyre fast, and you only need 3 to take down most buildings.. including a construction yard.

    your opponent crumbles pretty fast when theyre losing a structure per reload

  • Where the hell are all these tanks coming from?

  • mammoth tanks are over powered in this game. They have no weakness and are strong against all enemies..

  • @Simon0 I disagree. If you are giving your opponent that much time to build THAT many Mammoth tanks, there's a problem. An Ore Truck holds around 700 normal credits per load right? A Mammoth costs around 1500, plus the technology tree (the Tech Center is around 1500 too). It's also not good to rely too heavily on them either, they take a while to build and without the support of heavy tanks they will get outnumbered.

  • well i only ever played single player.. but what you write may certainly be true for multiplayer.

  • @go0fy11137 This is a campaign. If not the map is recycled from a campaign.

  • @go0fy11137 u can sell ur tech center after u build it, cause once u do u have the technologies from it so u can just sell it

  • @go0fy11137 Yes, and citing a particular meme, if you let your opponent (human or AI) build way too many mammoth tanks, you're doing it wrong. Decisively kill your opponent's economy early, and he/she/it would (in theory) be hard-pressed to make riflemen.

  • @go0fy11137 I haven't played red alert in a while but I remember just making a second war factory and guarding the base with guard towers.

    Mammoth tanks ARE overpowered , the superior navy and airforce may have made soviets overpowered already, but its the mammoth tank that takes the cake.

    I'm serious, for me, it was at least 3 times harder going through the Allied campaign.

  • too true, but they were t3 and cost a fuck load to get

  • mammoth tanks do have one big weakness, theyre expensive and slow to make.

    THe idea is to win before the soviets get a chance to mass together too many mammoths

  • Agree, just make sure you attack his base early and his resource gather to slow down and make him spend money on cheaper units for defense, ideally it's not the best to get mass mammoth tanks as they are expensive

  • @Simon0 the two factions were not very even the soviets had mammoth tanks and tesla coils

  • @Simon0 Two light tanks can take a Mammoth tank down.

  • @Simon0

    Allied crusier rapes them with range.

  • @Simon0 Yes they have a weakness. They're slow. Terribly slow. They can maybe return fire at infantry better than other tanks (which suck utterly against infantry), but they're slow. Maneuvering with them is a pain. Swarming the enemy bases with Heavy tanks is better. In fact, due to its AA capabilities and its relative slow speed, the Mammoth is an excellent DEFENSE tank, not an OFFENSE one.

  • @KaosuKaiari yes they have a weekness for being so slow but there not a pain to maneuver i mean i have the c&c 99 version on n64 and there not as slow in the n64 version there 3 things a offensive weapon, a defense weapon, and a moving sam site and a good unit to destroy a base but the worst unit to fight against infantry unless it fires it rocket when it turns around the mammoth tank is a giant standing piece of metal that shoots out more metal

  • @Simon0 No, try to send them into an base or into an dual with 4 enemy tanks, the mammoth tank will be eliminated.

  • @Simon0

    I always felt they were lacking myself, the heavy tanks are whats up

  • good old times

    unfortanly i cant play it anymore thanks to vista *cry*

  • i play it on vista get the old cd version instal using a new reg key from first decade dont instal first decade uodate by hand 1.006 and done

  • @smilgars

    For some reason I'm able to play it on Vista (C&C the First Decade).

  • "run in compatibility mode" to the rescue?

  • Mammoth tanks are great for defending groups and large divisions of your army from air vehicles. They're also great for emergancies.

  • EVERYONE!!!!! It doesn't matter how strong the team's units are. All that matters is how proper you use them and if you're using them in the proper situation. I can easily beat my brothers at this game if they'd play as soviets and I play as allies.

  • Those are DEFINITELY mammoth tanks. Until red alert 2 red alert and normal c & c were the same universe, so same tanks. Also, it says mammoth tank in the manual and on the build button. Tbh the apocalypse and all other similar looking tanks in all the c&c games are paying tribute to the original mammoth, and having tanks called mammoths in pretty much every game would be not very original.

  • @Parabueto not really, Red Alert was his own universe, yeah you can say it is OUR universe. But only another timeline, because of the Chronosphere and Einstein. ;)

    The Tiberium C&C-Games are another universe, or maybe a far distance future. ;)

  • @Parabueto

    Red alert and Tiberian dawn are definetely NOT on the same universe. in Tiberian dawn a meteorite crashes on the earth, bringing and spreading the tiberium and so on, while Red Alert is a paraller universe caused by Albert Einstein while he tried to go back in time to prevent World War II. The fact that both games have Mammoth Tanks is because the game makers felt like using some of the original units from the first C&C, but the games don't othervise have any direct link to eachother

  • @rektaalipalo you dont have right in orginal red alert in soviet storyline many times we can see Keane ! Red aler and C&c are in the same univers .. sory for me eglisch
