OpenRA is a Libre/Free Real Time Strategy game engine supporting early Westwood games like Command & Conquer and Command & Conquer: Red Alert. Distributed mods include a reimagining and updating of both the Red Alert and Command & Conquer multiplayer games. 

The most visible change in this release is the redesigned in-game UI:
  • The RA mod has received a brand new sidebar.
  • Improved keyboard shortcut configuration, with new defaults based on Tiberium Wars and Red Alert 3.
  • The in-game menu has been completely overhauled, and now includes information on mission objectives.
  • A new end-game score screen appears once a game is complete.
A large number of smaller features have also been included. A small selection from our full changelog includes:
  • The lobby now prevents players from choosing “cheating” colors that are too similar to the terrain.
  • Veteran units gain improved reload time and accuracy, and elite units will now heal over time.
  • Planes will maintain their distance from each other in a similar fashion to helicopters.
  • Servers will now drop players with unresponsive connections to unfreeze stalled games.
  • Units will now properly move inside transports, instead of teleporting.
  • Tank turrets will now turn to face forward after the unit has finished attacking.
  • A number of small balance changes to the Red Alert and Tiberian Dawn mods.
  • Many more small bug-fixes and behaviour improvements.

To Install OpenRA 20141029 in Linux Ubuntu (13.04, 13.10, 15.04 Vivid Vervet, Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn, Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr), Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca, Linux Mint 17 Qiana and debian derivative system, open a new Terminal window and bash (get it?) in the following commands:
wget http://goo.gl/7q836S
sudo dpkg -i openra_release.20141029_all.deb
sudo rm -rf openra_release.20141029_all.deb

In case “dpkg” indicates missing dependencies, complete the installation by executing the following command:
apt-get install -f

The stable version is also available from PlayDeb.
