How Can You Spy Your Own Base? Just for fun!

A funny trick you can try while playing Red Alert 2

Note: This trick doesn't work with CnCNet, but you can try it with standard or modified versions.

More than 10 years i play this..never knew this trick.. you're legend

No way!!! I am about to turn 36 and I still play this game since I was 15 years old in 2002. Never knew this until now.

"you can spy on yourself"
uhhh, this is like saying you can read your own thoughts xD

[Marinealver]

Red Alert 2 is perfectly balance

Now watch these Chrono Commandos dismantle a Soviet Base in seconds.

My brain hurts and gets tangled just thinking what the orders are written like. I can feel the spies losing brain cells listening and possibly reading the orders in written form later.

Been playing this for like a decade and never knew this trick!!
Kinda funny though..LOL!!
Anyways much appreciated.

don't tell me that I spent 3 years playing this game to realize that you can spy your own base 😂

I did this hack at Allied Mission 11 "Fallout" i infiltrated my barracks and battle lab and trained "Chrono Commando" and easy win ☺️

FYI: RA2 only first release can do this glitch before fixing on 1.006 so if you have an old cd for installation, this does work.
However, this description told already that it does not work on YR classic and CNCnet. This video aged perfectly even 3 years later.

i remember his trick also u can build building anywhere on map using paradrop and ctrl +c and ctrl+v

This is the first time I've seen something like this happen in this game I've been playing for almost 12 years.

That is some strong cheddar level of cheesing right there.

I already know about this trick when I was 9 years old, it's about 9 years ago. But great information for someone who doesn't know about this trick yet.

[jasonstephen]

This only works in vanilla RA2 and was fixed in Yuri's

[squallstrife-vg]

the "hmmm what if..." thinking is deep here

[drakemguard]

Wow that's actually broken! This is why I am a Yuri Main !

[GenesicShinZyraelKai]

what I did with the spy before was to click the enemy building, then very quickly force attack my building just as the spy starts walking, so that the spy will enter my building. Spy has to be very close to trick the game, before game tick updates and force stops the spy from moving further.

when paying Yuri, you can control your own units

This. Is. So. Busted. Like what the hell. How did I not know this until now? :D

[BrenIrwin]

Does it also work for double promotions? Can you Waypoint two spys with the engineer? Can you move the engineer mid movement to save it from repairing?
