where is the battle royale mode sole survivor ?

[G-(er)man]

Hi , i remember buying a Addon back in the day which was a battle royale version called sole survivor ... is there a way to activate that gamemode in the remaster ?

You mean having an MP match against 3 or more unaligned AI? A.... Death match?

I think that was a separate game. Certainly not advertised in the remaster.

Sole Survivor is a standalone C&C game. Not an addon.

Command & Conquer: Sole Survivor Online[cnc.fandom.com] was a stand-alone game created after Red Alert: Aftermath for Windows operating systems.  The gameplay was more along the lines of the "micro" missions of the other games; instead of commanding an entire legion of units, players commanded a single unit from the entire GDI, Nod, and Funpark roster – minus the flying and naval units, for balancing reasons.  The objective was to become straggeringly-powerful by picking up crates and earning the most points by destroying other players or capturing the objectives – flags or (American) footballs.  It was, in essence, the first online multiplayer "battle royale" game ever made.

It's extremely under-appreciated due to the lack of marketing, at the time.  There's simply no way to recreate the proper gameplay experience, these days, but people who did play it, back on Westwood Online, had a lot of fun with it, but of course, it's not for everyone.  It doesn't help that the "Skirmish" (AI) mode cheats like crazy and always gangs up on any human players…  That being said, I was deeply disappointed that Sole Survivor Online wasn't included/recreated by EA and Petroglyph, but not terribly surprised.

I would love to see Sole Survivor Online included as a game mode, in the future.  If modders can recreate it, that'd be fine enough, but I'd prefer for it to come from Petroglyph, themselves… even if they completely lost the source code.  I'd also be happy with just the Tiberian Dawn units, buuut… if they added the Red Alert units, too, I certainly wouldn't complain!  There'd probably have to be a special toggle to allow naval units, though, since ships and subs are a huge part of Red Alert.
