You can now play Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 in your browser

Twenty-four years after its release, the delightfully campy real-time strategy game Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 has found new life in an unexpected place: your web browser. The Chrono Divide project now allows players to fire up the acclaimed 2000 RTS directly in Chrome, Edge, or Safari, complete with cross-platform multiplayer using all the original maps. What started as a simple experiment to prove that a fully working RTS could run in browsers has evolved into a nearly complete recreation of the game.

Currently, players can dive into multiplayer battles and even use some mods, though the single-player campaign with its famously cheesy cutscenes remains a work in progress. The project aims to reach full feature parity with the original Red Alert 2 engine. Getting started requires importing the original game files, which the website helpfully links through the Internet Archive, making this classic strategy game more accessible than ever before.
