Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 was released in 2008 as the third entry in the Red Alert spin off series, known for its alternate history war and full motion video cutscenes. Its soundtrack mixed orchestral scoring with the series' industrial rock heritage, and the credits sequence rolled over that music after the campaign ended. Rips of the outro later circulated on video and soundboard sites as a short standalone clip, so players began reusing it outside the game as an instant signal of a finished mission or a completed video.
