GENERAL CHANGES OR FEATURE ADDITIONS

1 RA2 now allows you to play "Free for All" in Skirmish
mode. Now the AI can attack each other and not just the
player.

2 Hotkeys and Interface changes added:
- Right clicking on the mouse centers on the Radar
Screen instead of deselecting the player's units.

events. "Space Bar" now also goes to "Ally under
Attack" EVA event.

Depots.

- The "Q" & "W" keys that select Tab Buttons now
grab a completed building for the cursor.
Pressing again places that building.

of the map.

- Health Navigation, Veterancy Navigation, and
Previous Unit hotkeys are now unbound. They
can be rebound in the Keyboard Configuration
menu.

3. Observer Mode: RA2 now has an Observer Mode that
allows 1 player to watch other player's games.
Particularly useful for Korean television shows and
tournaments.
- There is a new checkbox at the top of the
bunkers that players can check to observe games.
Clicking it will switch the "Join" button to
"Observe" and vice versa.

bottom slot to be open for observers (assuming he
isn't the observer himself). Players attempting
to observe go into this slot.

- The observer can only chat to all players.

- The observer cannot use Beacons or Waypoint Mode.

- The observer is not shown on the score screen.

- The observer is not allowed in Co-Op mode.

4. Dreadnaughts can now break bridges with missiles.

units, and a Tech Hospital he will no longer get a
complimentary unit out of his Cloning Vat for every unit
healed.

7. The edges of the Radar Screen are now visible.

8. We've enabled the Microsoft Sidewinder Strategic
Commander(TM) to work properly. We've also included the
Westwood endorsed configuration.

online.

that sender, the paging screen will default to
that sender's name if U is pressed within 5 seconds.

There are also graphic indicators (green, red, yellow)
next to player names. The ping indicated in
the tooltip is between that player and the game host.

6. Lobby Chat only scrolls if player is on bottom chat
line.
