  Mental Omega is a free unofficial expansion pack for Command & Conquer Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge. It started off as a balance modification created by Speeder and Mevitar and was first released in 2005. After a few years, it had grown into an unofficial sequel with new campaigns for the Allies, Soviets and Yuri. Now, version 3.3 marks the end of the long road and is the final iteration of the Mental Omega mod series.   The 4th SideAmong the many consequences of the events that took place during Act One of the Mental Omega story campaign is Yuri's rise to power. However, his increasing strength alerted some, who were forced to form an unexpected alliance and make difficult decisions. The actions of those people will result in the creation of a highly advanced army called the Foehn Revolt, who will oppose Yuri's growing dominion of madness.This new faction is an important part of the Mental Omega project and comes with its own full set of three subfactions, each of them with their preferred technologies, tactics and weapons, as well as unique heroes and special units. The Foehn Revolt relies on technologies and tactics not seen before during the Great War, many of which were possible to design thanks to the new features introduced by Ares Expansion DLL.
