[Previous World Record] Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 Allied Campaign Speedrun

Part 3/4

First sub-30 LRT thanks to RNGesus and updated strats!
Employing "attack-stop" spam yet again at any point possible and also the save-load mechanic for Chrono Legionnaires in the final mission.

On a more serious note: knowledge of troop triggers, positioning, and pathing made this run absolutely challenging, but it's also what allowed me to optimize this category even further after much experimentation and micro-practice. This took me close to a week to master and eventually run, which was just about the same amount of time as the last world record category I conquered.

Potential Timesaves:
Mission 6 (Operation: Liberty) can be ran in 05:00 IGT if properly micro'd and enemies all IMMEDIATELY funnel into the center area where I'd positioned my troops. I hated this mission the most because it took me a long time to eventually refine my playthrough of this single mission to the optimized strategy you now see above, but it eventually became one of my best and "easiest" missions to clear after all the frustration.
My best (and luckiest) was 05:10 IGT vs. the 05:20 in the full run.

Mission 12 (Operation: Chrono Storm) can be ran sub-03:00 IGT if one can micro the single Yuri + Apocalypse AND the legionnaires concurrently cleanly. I decided to settle on activating the legionnaires last (as you can see where I save-load for them to appear out of stasis and then just jump on one sentry gun ONLY AFTER I was certain the rest of the Black Guard was donezo) since it would've been too much microwork at that point in a run to risk it all. Fastest I ran this with basically what I did in the video (which was 03:17) but slightly cleaner was 03:06 IGT.

Final stop: Yuri's Revenge's Soviet Campaign! ;)

How do these not have more views?! Seeing the methods people have come up with to get faster and faster speedruns is just mindblowing haha. Wonderful job on the WR!

[BlackSecrit]

A lot of great improvements I'm just gonna congratulate you on the 4/4 now since my YR soviet run is the weakest one

[adaephon]

I'm learning all new ways that chrono legionnaires can move through time! First time Ive watched a speedrun for the game and it was very cool to see all the different weird mechanics/glitches in the game 😁

[jesutapel]

I bet Romonov is having a heart attack now that the commander is heading towards hime by completing the mission in the speed of light.

[AvEtheDJ]

I play this game few times per week... for about 25 years now. I didn't know there are so many glitches and that you could play whole campaing so quickly :D normally I play 1 such mission for 30 minutes or even more.

[Gearless]

this is a legit pro gameplay... awesome run...

[Normandy]

Was the Mission at 18:00 won because of the destruction of one sowjet sentrygun?

[eugenincognito]

Love how in the naval mission even when you pushed the gas pedal on a rocket fuel engines, not just throught the floor, but an entire freaking planet, and was still too slow to save the outpost base from annihilation. Guess the morale of the story is not to strategically chain your entire fuel supply between critical structures. 😅 🎉🎉🎉

[emanuellandeholm]

Was spying on yourself patched for Yuri's Revenge? I don't remember that being a strat

[Normandy]

How can you infiltrate your own tech-center?😅

[ninja.saywhat]

how do you do the high rate of fire glitch?

[janoycresva]

Nice work!
what is the game dificulty ?

[Viper_X]

completed even before ending the entire video.

[srella]

What difficulty is this on? That 3rd mission.. when did IFVs become structure killers? Lol

[Svful]

29:10 what? how you infiltrated your own battle lab that's impossible 😆

[svenvleminckx]

What do you mean the war is over. We just destroyed the liberty statue LOL

[Buravick]

Когда мама сказала через пол часа выключать комп:

[MrWollollo]

how does your tank shoot quicker when klicking? 11:00 . also i just tried the naval mission. why do you win by killing that one turret lol... cause it's the only builidng? that's so dumb. i wonder if they made this game for this

[ninja.saywhat]

you only need to destroy one sentry? wtf 😂
