History YMMV / MentalOmega

** To further add on to this, one user, known as "Demoman" to people on the Mental Omega Community Discord, makes giant text walls of how much he hates the current state of Mental Omega 3.3.4 and wants EVERYTHING explained to him in the missions themsevles rather than just take it at face value.

** It's also a running joke among the devteam to point out that an ex-member also considers 1.2 better over the other two. [[NintendoHard Just because 1.2 had no missions]].

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: The entire Allied and Soviet soundtrack is made of vintage Frank Klepacki awesomeness. Now the base being broken over the locked mixes makes more sense now.
** Epsilon's OST, which was created by Black Ice 9 is likewise epic and fits faction well. Notable tracks include "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRrFv2kHf_0&t=64s&ab_channel=MentalOmegaforRedAlert2Yuri%27sRevenge Chaotic Impulse]]" and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xmiyPx-hxA&t=3s&ab_channel=ThatWarstarianVulcan Solara]]".
** And then we have the soundtrack to the Foehn Revolt faction by World Beyond, which sounds like the soundtrack of an epic war movie. Notable tracks include what is essentially the faction's main theme "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxfosVnMoj8&ab_channel=WorldBeyondSoundtracks Remnants of a Distant Future]]" and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fY1P19KzVVI&ab_channel=WorldBeyondSoundtracks Destiny]]".

** The end of The Raven in soviet act 2, The commander successfully hold off the allied invasion from Stalington until the camera suddenly switch to the raven flying over to your base as your radar suddenly went offline, the iron curtain became purple, to the point the screen goes black. You were expecting a result screen? Nope, you get treated by a jumpscare of Yuri's face with weird monotone voice and began controlling your mind and the game proceed to your next mission Awake and Alive with [[https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiVppzm9-_cAhWE2YMKHeJGAswQjhx6BAgBEAM&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D-2aYQkf6FMg&psig=AOvVaw2DXLqmxRr0zNRzm029w7x-&ust=1534452462570181 this loading screen]] completely distorted and a disturbing music with only one objective listed RUN! Good luck sleeping tonight.

** The aftermath of The Raven in soviet act 2 is much more disturbing as it is.

** The horror continues in Awake and Alive where Yuri and his forces take control of the world.

* CriticalResearchFailure: The mod has two submarine units for the Soviets, the Typhoon attack sub and the Akula missile sub. What's the problem? Those are two different names for the same sub, "Akula" being the Russian designation for the class and "Typhoon" being the NATO designation. Even if we are to assume that the Akula sub is supposed to refer to the NATO designation for the Soviet Shchuka B-class submarine the problem would still persist in the form of the two submarines having each other's functions (The Typhoon is the missile sub and the Akula is the attack sub).
** This is a bit ''FollowTheLeader'' actually with a forgotten Leader. Practically '''all''' Soviet missile subs were a remake of the [[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert Red Alert 1]] Missile Sub in a way, and the Akula name stuck to that submarine concept around the heroic age of Red Alert 2 modding (read: between 2002 and 2006) and every mod simply just follows it.

** However, there is still infamous "Singularity", a remake of 2.0 mission "Duality", in which you have to spark a war between Pacific Front and China. Its difficulty lies in fact that on normal/mental difficulty (despite mission being broken since you can skip the entire Allied base part) you had only 3 units to control and you were unable to lose any of them. Let's add to that fact that attacking most of patrols will trigger alarms and boom. You have mission which was not completed by 99% of players even on Easy difficulty. It's also worth to mention that "Singularity" was created by mapper who likes to boost the dificulty of missions ''UpToEleven'' - to that point that even he is unable to complete his own missions.

** Actually it's easier if we just list every single BaselessMission in the game and say "those are hard as hell".

* {{Broken Base}}: Yes. Considering the massive changes between 2.0 (a continuation of the original game) and 3.0 (a complete recreation of the game's storyline), not to mention 3.0's [[DigitalPiracyIsEvil locked mixes]], there are fans who just simply not like 3.0.
