Red Alert (Intro)

[CherryBlossomRed08]

lol this game is why i am wearing glasses today

[TMGSHRED]

This brings back awesome memories of my childhood. I gotta do a cover!

[agt144]

So funny that the "Die waffen, legt an" sound from Red Alert was in this past Sunday's episode of Boardwalk Empire just after the tommy gun scene. I recognized it immediately!

[ejswe]

So awesome.

[TuomioK]

Man that music rocks! xD

[macfahad]

Man only if Westwood developers were to rebuild Red Alert. I love Red Alert 1 and 2. As much as I love them I hate Red Alert 3 (thank you EA)

[Azzalack]

2 people couldn't save Einstein.

[BruceCamblzChin]

Hey Prins did you get the PlayStation goin mate?

[BruceCamblzChin]

Hey Prins did you get the PlayStation goin?

[mrthomson1]

WestWood!!!!! :D

[Issus38]

I wish I could play this online...sigh I guess I'll have to find time...I think after my exams will be a fine time to vent my frustrations!!!MUHAHAHAHAHA!!!­!

[Coruscant0]

this game made me the geek i am today

[chardenver]

this is bad ass. better than some punk bands today hardcore stuff this is

[katzenrubbl0r]

Ah, the good ol' days, when games had intros you could headbang to...

[Pkzeiro]

Westwood rulez, EA fucked with the saga D:

[MortyRichards]

EA Rock!!

[Consomestudios]

Probably the only thing that was good about Red alert 3, was that Red Alert 1 was for free !!!!! :)

[Atlink]

Oh 50% interlaced video... How we miss thee.

[JumpMax]

dude sorry but this just gives me goosebumps those good old times!

[lonewulf44]

Man this was awesome ... loved this game. I remember getting it then having to go on vacation with the family ... I brought the game booklet and read it like a thousand times before we got back. Hell March is probably one of the top ten greatest video game compositions.

[Xanatos712]

Ah the memories...

[blindwitness90]

Westwood FTW ! :D

[DecmanReturns]

Even as a prepubescent 7-8 year old, I knew how rad that guitar was.

[sdhubbard]

I think this is the game that got me into Alternate History. XD

[DownOnMyLuck]

EA's attempted monopoly?

Look, I know you retards posted that a year ago, but even then you dumbfucks should be squarely focused on Activision if you're really worried about this sort of thing.

EA is like a shining paragon of justice compared to those fuckers.

[chairmanmao]

good memories, great intro, great acting, great game.

[edgelee84]

THIS GAME IS FUCKINN' AWESOME :)

[EXRazeBurn]

1:05-1:10

Who can forget this timeless sequence, a soviet dagger slamming into the heart of Europe, making it bleed Communist Red.

If this tugs at your nostalgic heartstrings as it does mine, thumbs up!!!

[xalobrut]

pur old school <3

[ToMi4YoUgr]

very good game:)

[vasiliisnik]

DIE WAFFEN LIEGT AN!!!

[nyerguds]

Ah tsk, you recorded this ingame. You get much better results if you convert the original VQA file.

[asskulo]

I was too young to play this one. I started with RA2 and for me this was the best. Hours and hours of my life playing online.

[Selderij]

This intro is æsthetically awesome stuff.

[dmassive]

The Tesla Coil is awesome!

[ArabianStig]

thank you so much for uploading this, brings back my childhood memories :)

[Cjlewis1000]

Best Intro

Best Gameplay

Best Music

Best Game Ever!!!!

[Outmind01]

Without a doubt the best damn intro ever made! I remember when ra came out, me and my friends playedin awe and expectation just to see what the next brilliant cutscene brings. If you ask me ra 1 is definitely the best in the ra franchise, regardless of the improvements it's sequels may have introduced

[Damocles178]

I'll never forget the Dagger stabbing into the map and the entire map turns Red under the Soviet Influence. One of the most epic and memorable clips ever. It's a shame Red Alert 2 and Red Alert 3 lacked victory clips ....... the only victory clips I remember in Red Alert 2 and Red Alert 3 were the one's at the end. I liked how this game had both a "Mission accomplished" cutscene and a "Mission Failed" cutscene for each mission.

[Damocles178]

The Soviets and the Allies in this felt like proper armies just like their real life counterparts . I know the acting got a bit hammy at times but generally it was serious throughout the game. Red Alert one FTW The Sequels were good but they will never compare to this masterpiece.

[CultOfBananas]

amen.

[zymeth0628]

@Damocles178 red alert 2 lacked something this had, still you have to admit its quite good, and still has some of ol westwood on it unlike in 3 -.-

[BLuEsHayZee]

best ever intro!

[Luca46467]

Sorry, but somebody know what voice says in beginning of the song? Thanks...

[latextanja]

Luca46467:

"Die Waffen - legt an" -> "Shoulder your weapons" German military drill

[Luca46467]

Thanks from italy...

[Luca46467]

thank you very much!!!!

[KittyFawkes]

I think he says "people of earth! Wake up!" but Im kinda guessing.

[Trithreat007]

@KittyFawkes Its: We Want War! Wake Up!

[DecmanReturns]

@Trithreat007

It's actually "Die Waffen, legt an" - German military drill, apparently.

[majestrixxx]

Die Waffen legt an! Haha I wonder why they put this german phrase in the song.

[HalBDeU]

Old memories... Ty for upload.

[IDNNK]

THE BEST GAME EVER!!! my favourite game since i can remember

[btnheazy03]

shit Shit SHIT I JUST JIZZED MY PANTS

[seopeter22]

i fking love the sound of the chronosphere. i also loved the idea that we dont know who that hitler killer is till the last mission. i wanna beat that guy who said ra series is about wacky science stuff and light hearted. ra was very serious and dark!

[jamesz5000]

I remember playing this when i was like 6 or something. What a game.

[holydogshit2010]

awesome game - I used to play the multiplayer for like 8hrs straight. I always loved the hell march intro.

[JoseMP55555]

Good memories :)

Awesome game... I remember winning this game as the Soviet Union. The last mission was (according the map) invading England hehe. The battleships in that last mission were annoying, and they attacked non stop, but eventually managed to beat it.

Loved this game. Its been more than 10 years now.

[atomdragon4]

Best song and best Red Alert for me :D PS1/X

[KingHarkinian]

such a classic, i still love to play this game, Mammoth tank ftw!

[JKNDBKSAFDBNSAMDSFD]

this is probably the best intro in a game ever

[JaqueDark]

Here. here!

Haven't seen this in a while & the hairs are standing up on the back of my neck!

[Naxych]

The passion is gone. EA turned it into a product.

[Morokaibitar]

You took the words right out of my mouth!

[jegerkj]

This brings back some memories.

RA was awsome, same with RA 2.

But RA 3, meh, graphic galore, but nothing more.

[beeldred234]

i like RA, but not RA3.

[thewilhelm]

fuck EA they turned Red Alert and the whole CNC series into a joke.

[AlienDog9671]

At least the first red alert had the feeling this really could have happened with einstein zapping hitler out of the timeline and with realistic units. Not nowadays with cryocopters and nanocores..uch

[CommandoFin]

it's dumb when these new C&C games like C&C3 and Red Alert 3, there are music like "combat music" and "scouting music". Old C&C games were better because they had music players :)

[havoc1482]

I fucking hate EA, i miss the old way to listen to music, where you could choose the song you wanted to listen to. I hate this "Song goes along with the mood of the battle" bullshit. It would be cool if you could decide to listen to individual songs or "Go as the mood"

[thewilhelm]

This is the greatest video game ever created.

[samsamba08]

They should've included this in Red Alert 3. With modern visuals.

[thewilhelm]

that would be badass

[MRxWalkthrough]

RIP Westwood studios!

Burn in Hell EA!

[kaheli100]

@MRxWalkthrough BURN the EA in hell flames and wake the WESTWOOD STUDIOS FROM ETERNAL PEACE!

[Elephiant]

@kaheli100 MOEHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!!

well said!!! :D

[macfahad]

@MRxWalkthrough Rot in hell EA POS Games!

[Amoneth]

this is more better, in fact this shows realism since it is more centered on the cold war era. I guess, only stalin is the real person in the story, the rest? fiction.

[pablolopez26]

Awesome!

[Mitchubishievo]

Wow do I miss this game. I remember playing this for hours on end when I was 10-11. Smeltr you took the words right outta my mouth...almost bring s a tear remembering how fun being a kid was.

[Smeltr]

I almost lost a few tears looking on this video :) Quite a big part of my childhood is in this beautiful game. Red Alert, and Command & Conquer are the oldest from collections of them, but they are also the best for me!

[GabJero]

lol you actually cried...

lol

[OrgullosoArgentino]

Red alert is, what?, more than a decade old?. But it still kick ass!!

If you haven't played red alert at least once, then then you don't know what Command and Conquer is.

An EA, yeah, great soundtracks and all that, but Westwood is still Westwood, and EA will never be close

[BdaleD]

Compared to Frank Klepacki's soundtracks, EA's soundtracks are nothing.

[AlienDog9671]

I soo love that chronosphere power up sound!

[BdaleD]

Agreed! Did Westwood make that sound-effect themselves? If so then it is by far the best one they made.

[pogitaxxx123]

fuck stupid ea why did they have to take over westwood?? ra1 is still the best kickass rts ever!!

[biowon]

Uh,I don´t want to be an asshole,but you forgot the first few minutes with Einstein going back and eliminating Hitler.

[lightdark28]

even if i was a little kid when i got this, it was a game that i still play 12 years later. awesome and defenitly in the RTS hall of fame alongside Starcraft, Warcraft and C&C

[trakrekkid]

so badass... the version of hellmarch on the RA3 commercials isn't half as good as this.

[Leopardipzg]

It isn't.. and the game itself isn't even a fraction of what Red Alert or Red Alert 2 is.

[splatwacker]

Ah... I remember watching this intro over and over in my adolescence. It influenced a great interest of scifi/military entertainment intake for the next ten years... I wasn't a very social kid, which is why I don't have a girlfriend today.:( *Damb this video and its 90's epicness!

[kirbyhomo]

i like the red alert 2 intro better much better music is gay and the voice is stolen from redalert 2

[crazyivan1]

this is the original red alert 1 intro how should red alert 1 steal the sound from a later game

[renmorpheus]

You know, I'd agree with you, but RA3 is a fine game by fine people.

[FLIPINOM4D]

I grew up playing the RA series because of my dad, lets say we both still love the series.

[f3llah1n]

Exact same story here. Still my favourite game of all time, probably because it was my first.

Nah, that can't be, it just kicked ass! Still play it regularly.

[KiNPiN1835]

awesome fucking game.

[niggerswe]

the best pcgame of all time

[Drvol1]

pretty badass.

[francastillo86]

I can't believe I miss this intro my entire life!! (so far...)

[abucketofpotatos]

i agree with that statment

[tuktuktok]

I grew up with this stuff. Its not a game - Its a culture!

[kumo35]

Could anyone tell me what the name of the song in this video is?

[Betsix]

"Hell March" by Frank Klepacki. The music he created for the Command & Conquer series (along with so many other Westwood games) sticks in my head more easily than any other music. If you like this song, you should check out all the Command & Conquer soundtracks.

[kumo35]

Yeah, I'm definitely going to check that out. This song stuck with me. Thanks for the info.

[TalkCreativePlanet]

*sigh* the 90s truly was the golden age of PC gaming. Titles like Magic Carpet, Theme Park, Descent, Monkey Island, Rise of the triad, Syndicate, Warcraft 2 and Command and Conquer where just some of the gems that made my life complete back in those days and I STILL believe the intros for Red alert and Warcraft 2 where some of the greatest motion video moments in gaming history ever devised. God Bless them

[grex9101]

the attack stops at the Scottish border. Even fictional ruskies can't beat us lol

[alvinsantos95]

the intro is very nice, no one can beat it.

[obefiend]

top theme and awesome opening sequence. the tank crashing the wall part is my fav.i can't name a better opening sequence ever in a computer game. MGS1 opening sequence came a distant second in my book.

[FluffyOpossum]

got eaten by EA

the best intro ever

[CultOfBananas]

RIP Westwood Studios!

[igo170]

what happened to westwood studios? :(

[Hano1111]

got eaten by EA

[lucaboris]

bought up, butt raped, butt raped again, got shit on, peed over, beaten up, and basically fucked up...by EA

to be more accurate.

[TalkCreativePlanet]

U forgot hung, burnt, quartered, stretched and dismembered. Electronic Arts my ass, they ruin art.

[CultOfBananas]

Definitely agree with you guys on that. I can't stand EA's attempted monopoly of the publisher's market..

[dodopod]

wasn't there a part before this about Einstein and his friend killing Hitler?

[TheMadness]

Yeah, it's on a different video. This is just the action =D

[gestapo21]

this was an awesome game I love the C&C series but Red Alert was my favorite. Heard the 3rd one is coming out next year...?

[CultOfBananas]

hopefully :D

[blazeninja1216]

actually gestapo its *supposed* to be out october this year.

[YuriFuzine]

Cool i will buy this game!

[Xtermy]

It's actually free now!
