Hi Commanders,
I'm CO2, also known as KILLER, and I'm 17 years old. I want to share the story of how a small
mistake, a bit of fate, and a family legacy brought me to Red Alert 1 CnCNet - and helped shape the
player I am today.
The Mistake That Changed Everything
Growing up, I was all about Red Alert 2 and Red Alert 3. But when I was 16, after losing all my game
data, I went looking for a free RA3 download - and accidentally downloaded Red Alert 1 CnCNet
instead.
At first, I was confused. The graphics were old, the gameplay was different - but something about it
pulled me in. I gave it a try, and what started as a mistake became one of the best gaming decisions
I've ever made.
A Legacy I Didn't Know I Had
Just days ago, I found out something that gave everything even more meaning: my father told me
that he was once a pro RA1 player back in 1996. He and his friend dominated their district under the
name KILLER - the very same name I randomly chose years later without even knowing.
I guess this game was in my blood all along.
Now, carrying his old name, I feel like I'm continuing a legacy - but writing my own story.
Gold Rush and Growing Pains
I started on the Gold Rush map and played it nonstop. I sharpened my skills until I could take on
2v1s and 3v1s and still come out on top. My confidence grew fast - and so did my hunger to
compete.
Eventually, I moved into more competitive games with legends like Rio, P4, Rasta, and Open Slim. It
wasn't always easy, but those matches sharpened my gameplay even more, especially in intense
War Tanks scenarios.
BAT Clan and the Gold Medal Challenge
One day, N8 Diaz, leader of the BAT Clan, invited me to join. That was a turning point - I was now
part of something bigger.
At the same time, I was preparing for the GMC - the Gold Medal Challenge. I pushed myself hard,
trained daily, and fought with everything I had. That grind paid off when I earned my first medal - a
true milestone in my journey.
Now on YouTube
I've also started sharing my RA1 gameplay on YouTube, where I post 1v1 fights, comebacks,
strategies, and raw war zone action. If you're into Red Alert, tactics, or just want to watch some
intense games, you're welcome to check out my content
More videos are coming soon - this is only the beginning.
Carrying the Name Forward
Finding out that my father once ruled the battlefield as KILLER gave me new purpose. I'm not just
here to win - I'm here to honor the legacy, represent my clan, and show what the next generation
can do in RA1.
Thanks for reading, commanders.
See you on the frontlines.
- CO2 aka KILLER
