OpenRA VS etlegacy

Recently, my friends and I recreated our old LAN parties. Went up to a cabin in the woods, brought some cheap network switches, and had everyone install OpenRA (https://www.openra.net/, open red alert), and had a blast, even with everyone on laptops (mac/win). You can still do this in 2024 and it's worth it!

After the movies, I wanted to experience Dune 2 again (the pirate sites have it, along with patches to make it playable on modern OSes or Crossover). It was arguably the first mass-market real-time strategy game. There's also OpenRA for C&C, Red Alert, and Dune 2K: https://www.openra.net/

I understand Square is re-making FF7 in a multi-part release over several years (not sure why it takes so long)? https://ffvii-remake-intergrade.square-enix-games.com/en-us/ Once it's all out, I might play through that again just for nostalgia's sake (and for the soundtrack, of course! Twenty years later, I still have Aeris's Theme stuck in my head from time to time)

Obligatory reminder:Red Alert,Command & Conquer, Dune 2000, Rebuilt for the Modern Era.

I recently found an open source version that has been fun (https://www.openra.net/).

You can import those from ISOs: https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki/Game-Content but the campaign is not complete afaik as it needs to be re-built in OpenRA: https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/issues/4989 (I think this is the related ticket)

Alternatively OpenRA has a bunch of C&C inspired mods: https://www.openra.net I think this way is the easiest way to get a C&C like experience on a M1 Mac right now.

You could try Dirty Bomb or the classic Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory for some class-based objective shooters. Both are free to play.

ET Legacy Wolfenstein Enemy Territory, FOSS client. Maybe moot since an official client re-released on Steam recently.

It doesn't replace any server, it's a new one on Legacy mod - https://www.etlegacy.com/

Look up ETLegacy some nice guys from the old scene have basically remastered it - hd graphics updated sounds etc. All things in one place!

ET: Legacy

Have you tried using ET Legacy? www.etlegacy.com It's basically the same ET client, but updated to current standards.

As you pointed you need source code that can be found here: https://github.com/etlegacy/etlegacy

Off topic, but if it was Wolfenstein ET I will just add that there still is a community for it and a Foss version of it that runs on modern operating systems
