History Awesome / CommandAndConquerRedAlert2

** The entire intro cut-scene essentially depicts the opening moments of the invasion, and is one long moment of awesome for the Soviets and the entire premise of the game. It begins ominously with menacing Kirov zeppelins slowly but implacably sailing over the skies of New York and San Francisco, shadows cast over skyscrapers and the Statue of Liberty as they advanced into the US mainland. Then, as the "Hell March 2" theme picks up, the air sirens goes off, and out from hundreds of Soviet transport planes Soviet paratroopers descend in a rain of red parachutes. From the seas the Soviet naval fleet fires V4 missiles into US cities while naval transports disgorges Soviet war machines. Beneath the waves a floitilla of Soviet submarines fire off torpedoes, escorted by their giant squids. A large Soviet vehicle formation rumbles across the deserts and plains of Texas and New Mexico at avalanche speeds, their numbers counting from the small Terror Drones to the mighty Apocalypse Tanks. As the Hell March 2 theme climaxes and the vanguard Apocalypse Tank rolls over a billboard saying 'Welcome to Texas' and firing at the screen, you know America is in for a war unlike any other.

* The first Soviet mission. Having secured Einstein's Time Machine, they proceed to use it, inadvertently ending up in the Cretaceous Period, whereupon you can [[EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs recruit a T-Rex to your cause, and who subsequently TYRANNOSAURUS-REKT the enemy base.]]

* Any time the [[ILoveNuclearPower Desolator]] [[LargeHam opens his mouth]].

** BrickJoke: It comes up again in the ending; [[spoiler: Yuri tries to use it to go back in time and secure his dominance, only for Lt Zofia to hack the guidance system and send Yuri to the Cretaceous, where he promptly gets eaten by ''another'' T-Rex.]]

* During the Allied Campaign,Professor Einstein gets captured, AGAIN, and forced to work on improving the effectiveness of Yuri's psychic dominator technology. Pretty much par for the course, right? Until RIGHT before you break though the bases defenses, buildings start exploding apparently at random as Einstein escapes, sabotaging the psychic dominator in the progress.

* Using the Hollywood Heroes in the Allied L.A. mission to obliterate Yuri's forces, complete with cheesy one liners.
* Any time you crush an apocalypse tank with a battle fortress. BATTLE FORTRESS ON THE ALERT! indeed.

* In the Soviet campaign, charging up the Eiffel Tower with Tesla troopers, turning the entire thing into one big Tesla coil to obliterate the allied forces in the area. It helps to know that the tower's attack is so powerful that it ''one-shots construction yards''. No wonder France surrendered

** Even better, you get the some help. As soon as the treaty is signed the Soviets hold up their end of the bargain by sending in their navy, including 2 Dreadnoughts, to do what they do best: Smash a path to Yuri's base.

* Quickly followed by the game's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuwtNDkHch0 incredible intro]] coupled with its CrowningMusicOfAwesome.

! Red Alert 2:

! Yuri's Revenge

* During the Allied campaign, working security outside the Parliament building in London while the world leaders ratify an anti-Yuri treaty so that the Soviets and Allies can officially join forces. Sounds dull, right? Not exactly. Yuri finds out the location and sends just about everything he's got at you. You then proceed to HoldTheLine long enough to let the leaders reach an agreement, facing off against [[MindOverMatter his infantry]], [[GatlingGood gatling tanks]], [[TankGoodness Lasher tanks]], [[BrainInAJar Masterminds]], ''and freaking UFOs''. He even sends Boomer subs down the Thames! Then you turn the tide and blast his face out of the heart of London.
