The player joins the fight between the imperialistic Global Defensive Initiative and the hard-core revolutionaries that form the Brotherhood of Nod. Fed by the plentiful organic material found in the earth's temperate zones, the plentiful resource tiberium has expanded at an alarming rate.

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 (Oct. 2000) - Red Alert 2 takes place a few years after the events in the original Red Alert, and is the sequel to the original. The Allies, victorious in their battles against Joseph Stalin and his Soviet army, have rebuilt the decimated economy and infrastructure of Europe and have installed their own puppet dictator in place of Stalin: General Romanov. To the Allied intelligence, Romanov is nothing more than a consummate politician and the harmless leader of the World Socialist Alliance, a low-profile political group with minimal arms technology. No one could ever perceive him to be a threat. Red Alert 2 retains many of the conventional mechanics established and reused in the various Command & Conquer real-time strategy games. As with its predecessors, Red Alert 2 encompasses most all of the elements that define the genre. Fight in the air, on the land, and in the sea. Defend the United States against Soviet aggression with all new missions and storyline.

Command & Conquer: Yuri's Revenge (Oct. 2001) - The Yuri's Revenge story follows the end of Red Alert 2 from the Allies side of things. As they said at the party, "of course the good guys always win." Even though the Allies managed to beat back the forces of evil, one particular component of that evil managed to escape. Yuri. Possibly the most dangerous of all of the bad guys due to his great understanding of mind control, he was not the person that the Allies should have missed. After the Soviets' collapse, Yuri broke out on his own to try to take the world through psychic domination. He's got a bunch more of the psychic emitter jobbies planted all over the world, poised for use. Lucky for everyone, good old Doc Einstein managed to dream up a little time travel device that will let you travel back to the war you just fought to try to eliminate Yuri. You'll plop right down in the middle of the fight in a few different cities such as San Francisco, Seattle, and Los Angeles while you try to track him down. But you don't just have to worry about the Soviets this time. Yuri has his very own faction, complete with a whole lot of new unique units, buildings and technologies. That's right, a whole new faction.
