C&C: Red Alert Maps C&C: Red Alert Maps We have four Red Alert add-ons for you to play this month, all of which are located in the \REDALERT directory on The CD. To load a Command & Conquer: Red Alert level (known as MPRs), copy the file into your Red Alert directory (usually \WESTWOOD\REDALERT). If the file is zipped, unzip it using PKUNZIP or WINZIP (not provided with this CD). Once you've copied the level to the Red Alert directory, load Red Alert as usual. The levels can only be played in Multiplayer mode, either against other players, or against the computer in Skirmish mode. Simply start up a multiplayer game as usual, and select the new map as the scenario to play (the new maps usually appear at the bottom of the list). For example, if the name of the file is RIVERCRO.MPR, River Crossroads should appear in the Scenario list once it's copied over to the \WESTWOOD\REDALERT directory.
