14 Years of RA2
« on: February 18, 2017, 09:55:39 AM »
I don't think Infogrames or Gabriel Entertainment thought this game would last long. The same as the community, probably.

Thank God it won't last too much longer.



Well done, guys.

Cool. Maybe someone can do another one of these for the 15th, we've gotten a lot of new members and may see more if by some miracle RA3 is actually playable next year.

The card is now closed. Thanks to everyone who signed! Signing ran from Feb. 18 to Mar. 22, 2013.

I knew that the game was old (thanks to Wikipedia), but it does prove that how a community can keep abandon alive for anyone enough to play for themselves.
I've only been on the site for a month, but one hell of a thanks to the long running members (Excluding some) in keeping the game alive and the work that was put on the stand-alone mods. These mods may of been kept on the forms, but it still keeps the spirit of RA2 running to this day.

A few days late but Happy 14 years Ra2. Back in my day we played RA2 with a CD and a thick monitor. Now we can play it on an aeroplane!.
