Westwood Studios

A now-defuncted video game company which was, in the end, purchased by an aggressive bidding by EA Games/Electronic Arts. They created games that impressed players and critics alike, such as Command & Conquer, Nox, Lands of Lore, and Dune. Their last known game was Command & Conquer: Renegade(2002).

"Man, it's too bad EA bought out Westwood Studios."
"Yeah. . . I was hoping for a Red Alert 3 or Tiberian Twilight."

The second and final Command & Conquer: Red Alert add-on which adds powerful units like Chrono Tanks, Tesla Soldiers, M.A.D. Tanks, and other such marvels into the game, in addition to adding even more missions to this already wonderful game. Can be stack-installed with Counterstrike.

"So, Aftermath is the last Red Alert 1 add-on?"
"I'm afraid so."
