OpenRA Server Hosting, Explained

What is OpenRA?

New to OpenRA?

What is OpenRA?

OpenRA is a free, open-source project that rebuilds the classic Westwood strategy games Command & Conquer: Red Alert, Tiberian Dawn and Dune 2000 for modern computers. Build a base, harvest ore, Tiberium or Spice, climb the tech tree and send your army in, with modern touches like attack-move, unit veterancy and fog of war. Play the campaigns, skirmish against bots, or take on other players online.

Three Classics.

Allies against Soviets, GDI against Nod, or the Houses fighting over Spice.

Community Maps.

Player-made maps from the Resource Center, plus tournaments and ladders.
