Spring RTS Engine

EA announced RA3 today in its newsletter.

Will feature Allies, Soviets, and Japan. naval combat is being given equal love as ground combat. Campaign will be Co-op-able. Continuing the comic style of RA2.

Looks mostly faithful to RA2 but WTF walkers?

Still, I put my money on EA raeping RA3.

Tesla boats? OMG WHY DIDNT I THINK OF THAT. Lightning + water = world of fun!

every step of red alert has had more tesla...

soon tesla planes tesla nukes and soviets will be all tesla!!

but red alert wudnt be red alert without tesla

i dont have high expectations here c&C series kinda went down hill as soon as EA took over but anything goes downhill wen EA takes over

So that's why C&C Generals was so horrible. I almost couldn't believe a game that was once so good could be so bad.

So will the Japanese have giant robots with beamrifles and heads that look like samurai helmets?

No they are just a nice Marketname to drop- raises the sell... if you take a look on ra2 (which i found funny - even if it was EA) - you will find Koea, Germany, England - as Selectable Sides in the Multiplayer - meaning one special Unit in Addition..and a little Balancecrash on Top...

So it just the usual EA Politics.. what does the MarketingMan say should be the Scenario in Game? Rip of Reality or just copy it from some Movies? Nooo, noo, lets take the selllstatistics and look on the countryranking there.. so that makes about ten levels US, 5 Southkorea... some in Europe.. - wow, C&C this three..

c&c generals was good, its was c&c tiberium wars that was mega fail

I strongly disliked the art style red alert 2 went with, and thus am not happy to see the continuance of that art style.

There was virtually nothing to like about red alert 2.

Other way around, sir.

Vanilla Generals or ZH fail.

I agree.

Tiberium Wars = awesome
Generals = mediocre
Anything before the above = very awesome

Red Alert 3 looks very interesting though, especially because of the focus on naval combat, which was the one thing I hoped they wouldn't forget.

Also please don't turn this into an EA hate topic, those are so boring.

soon tesla planes tesla nukes and soviets will be all tesla!!

Tesla nukes sound cool ....

RA3 ... looking forward to it's release ...

Lolz at your opinion sucking. A whole lot

u all knows the order of C&C pwnsomeness goes like this

C&C > red alert > ra2 > tiberium Wars > tiberium Sun > Generals

id say i prefer red alert 1 to C&C classic but... its wat started the whole thing

and tiberium sun sucked alot but generals sucked more :p

and no game intro has ever been better than the red alert 1 intro imo..

C & C and red alert were the original ones created by westwood.

Generals is not much more than EA's try to milk money from westwood's work ~~

good game ideas auto fail wen EA takes over...

Black and white was ownage... and B&W2 could have been one of the best games ever..

EA takes over and graphic whores gameplay turns to crap and the creature AI is worse than the original :/

EA is a plague to games

C&C series got the plague a long time ago..

but sadly in todays world over the top graphics (which means people need to buy new pc's more moneyz..) are more important than gameplay depth maybe cos people just want simple sandbox games..

Spore willl probably me simple and crap

The interface of the older games is definitely annoying nowadays but the story and unit design is far far more interesting and when they came out they were incredible.
