Today, it has been announced that Mental Omega APYR, the largest and most popular Yuri's Revenge mod, will implement Ares version 1.0 upon release as of patch 3.3.3. This will, among else, mean that Mental Omega will finally have proper support for saving and loading games, same as all other Yuri's Revenge mods that will use this version of Ares. It is still being developed, and AlexB is distributing preliminary builds to testers (which are not to be used in published mods), while the ETA for Ares 1.0 and Mental Omega 3.3.3 is still unknown.

Patch 3.3.1 has been released for the Mental Omega APYR mod for C&C Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge. This update brings bugfixes (including fixing the crash that occured when trying to launch any mission for some players), balance changes, a new naval unit for all Epsilon subfactions - the Nautilus, new maps, new challenge maps, more Act Two campaign missions (save for the Foehn). Read the full changelog here. You can download the patch here or use the launcher to do it for you.

The long-awaited version 3.3 of Mental Omega APYR has been released some hours ago. This release introduces the fourth faction - the Foehn Revolt, with its own unique techtree, missions (TBD in an update) and soundtrack (by World Beyond). Also included are new missions and units for existing sides, new maps, CnCNet 5.0 compatibility, new multiplayer/skirmish game modes (14 in total!), new stolen tech units, and more. You can download the mod from this link, and the new soundtrack is available as well. Please note that version 3.0 must be uninstalled or moved before installing version 3.3.

The Mental Omega APYR mod for Yuri's Revenge has received yet another unit showcase video. This one is more focused on aircraft and stolen tech units, one of the latter being the return of the rejected Westwood design and a once popular addition to Yuri's Revenge mods - the Allied Chrono Prison. As an icing on the cake, the last unit is an insanely powerful Haihead (Foehn subfaction) vehicle visibly inspired by the M.A.D. Tank from Red Alert: The Aftermath.

The Mental Omega APYR mod for Yuri's Revenge has recently received another unit showcase video. In this one, we can see some more units for the new Foehn side and its subfactions, some updates and new entries for existing sides and new stolen tech units. There is even a logic from C&C Generals on display in one of the units - all of this provided by the Ares DLL.

In this week's edition of Throwback Thursday, we take a look at a unit design which took three concept stages to reach a final game, and was even featured in a mod in the meanwhile. The Centurion Siege Walker was first imagined during the development of Red Alert 2 as a Soviet unit, but apart from two concepts in two camo versions, it never appeared in the game and was apparently not considered for Yuri's Revenge. In the Premier Edition DVD of Red Alert 3, a slightly redesigned version can be seen, but it was again omitted from the game itself, and in 2009, it finally managed to "crawl" to the fans as the Reaper unit in Red Alert 3: Uprising. It has also been prominently featured in the Mental Omega mod for many years, even in the 2.0 days! Remember, you can click on the preview to see a larger and more detailed image. Don't forget to check out the Throwback Thursdays archives if you've missed a week. Check back again next Thursday for another Throwback. Send in your ideas for future instalments.

While we're waiting for the next release of the Mental Omega APYR mod, labeled version 3.3, the developers have begun making unit showcase videos to show us what's new in each faction's arsenal.

Some of these units use mechanics previously unseen in Red Alert 2 or its mods, leading to impressive results.
