1. The source code for Red Alert 2 is rumored to be lost a very long time ago[0], so the fact that the Chrono Divide team was able to achieve this is quite amazing.

2. The Mental Omega mod project[1] is going strong, so RA2 is still worth playing today. Hopefully it will work in this browser-based version.

Shame because EA released the source code for most of the other C&C games: https://github.com/electronicarts/

So if they had it they'd would have almost certainly included RA2 in that as well.

I’ve heard that the Tiberian Sun and Firestorm source code were also lost.

To this day I haven’t found a game that replicates the magic of 1999 era of RTS..

Mental Omega is rumoured to have the source code (and all tooling for the game) which is why their mod is so all encompassing beyond any reasonable limits of what the TS/RA2 engine is capable of

How the hell could they LOSE the source code to that game? All copies of it.

Not arguing with you, just saying if that's true, it's insane.
