Which Command & Conquer Games and Mods Are Supported on CnCNet?
Updated
CnCNet supports six classic Command & Conquer titles — Command & Conquer (Tiberian Dawn), Red Alert, Tiberian Sun, Red Alert 2, Yuri's Revenge, and Dune 2000 — plus a set of community mods including Mental Omega, C&C: Reloaded, and Rise of the East. The platform describes itself as a multiplayer service dedicated to keeping these games playable as they were at original release, and it has been running since 2009. How you get into each game differs: some are offered as free downloads through CnCNet, while others are played directly on the platform.
Supported games
| Game | How CnCNet offers it |
|---|---|
| Command & Conquer (Tiberian Dawn) | Download & play for free |
| Command & Conquer: Red Alert | Download & play for free |
| Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun | Download & play for free |
| Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 | Play on CnCNet |
| Command & Conquer: Yuri's Revenge | Play on CnCNet |
| Dune 2000 | Play on CnCNet |
For each title, CnCNet says you can play the original campaigns in full or go straight into online multiplayer against other players worldwide. Red Alert, Tiberian Sun, Red Alert 2, and Yuri's Revenge are described as having hundreds of players online.
The distinction in the table matters if you are deciding where to start. The first three games are presented as free downloads from CnCNet itself. Red Alert 2, Yuri's Revenge, and Dune 2000 are presented as "Play on CnCNet" — the platform is the place you launch multiplayer from, rather than a download link on the page.
Supported mods
CnCNet also hosts community mods, each with its own twist on the base games:
- A stand-alone mod combining Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert — built on a heavily customized Tiberian Sun engine, featuring all four factions (GDI, Nod, Allies, Soviets). Free to download and play.
- Mental Omega — a free unofficial expansion for Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge that grew into an unofficial sequel, with new campaigns for the Allies, Soviets, and Yuri. Download and play on CnCNet, or play online free on CnCNet.
- C&C: Reloaded — a free modification for Yuri's Revenge that puts Allies, Soviets, and Yuri alongside GDI and Nod from Tiberian Sun on the same battlefields. Download and play on CnCNet, or play online free on CnCNet.
- Rise of the East — adds two new factions, East Asia (China) and GLA, alongside remastered single-player campaigns and fast-paced, balanced multiplayer.
How to choose
If you want the original campaigns and a straightforward install, start with one of the three free-download titles (Tiberian Dawn, Red Alert, or Tiberian Sun). If you already own or want to play Red Alert 2, Yuri's Revenge, or Dune 2000, go through CnCNet's play-on-platform route instead.
If you have already played the base games and want something different, the mods are the reason to look further: Mental Omega for expanded Red Alert 2 campaigns, C&C: Reloaded for cross-game factions, Rise of the East for new factions and reworked single-player content.
One note on cost: CnCNet's own pages describe the downloads and mods as free, and the site also links to a "How To Buy C&C" page — so where a game is not offered as a free download, treat purchase as a separate question rather than assuming the platform covers it.
