Command & Conquer: Sole Survivor

Command & Conquer: Sole Survivor, tag-lined Command & Conquer: Sole Survivor Online, is a multiplayer spin-off of the original Command & Conquer game. It featured a deathmatch-style game in which each player controls one single unit, with choice from all armed ground units from the original Command & Conquer, and travels around the game arena collecting crates to increase this unit's firepower, armour, speed, attack range and reloading speed. Sole Survivor was often compared to a third-person shooter played with a top-down perspective. It featured no singleplayer mode aside from a limited offline practice mode, and the multiplayer had no hints of a storyline. This was the first Command & Conquer game that did not have a DOS version.

==2022 revival==
In January of 2022, Sole Survivor multiplayer functionality was resurrected by CCHyper, OmniBlade, and tomsons26, along with a select group of testers. This was in parts inspired by the unearthing of some beta versions of the game.CCHyper (24 January 2022). "Sole Survivor is back online!". CnCNet Community Forums. Retrieved 26 January 2022.
The main breakthroughs were the discovery of code in the beta related to the chatbot that formed the link between the Westwood Chat channel and the game, and the conclusion that the Practice Mode from the retail game, which did not exist in the beta, was a severely constrained but functional version of the game's server software. With these discoveries, the project focused on unlocking the ability of the game to act as a true server, with the ability to receive information from Westwood Chat to customise its game modes and add human players.
A fan server was established, making Sole Survivor playable outside the offline Practice Mode for the first time in more than twenty years. As of spring 2022, the game is being tested by a group of fans.
==Trivia==
* Sole Survivor is the only C&C game that allows the player to change the EVA voice. The choices are standard EVA, Commando, "Let's make a kill" and "1-900-KILL-YOU".
* The Sole Survivor soundtrack was comprised mostly of remixes of existing C&C tracks like Hell March, No Mercy and Twin Cannon, some of which were featured in Counterstrike on the PC and Retaliation on the PlayStation. The tracks are available as CD audio on the game CD, making Sole Survivor the only source of CD quality versions of the Red Alert: Retaliation tracks.
