Red Alert 3

[redmarine]

After seven years, Red Alert returns! After a time travel mission goes awry, a new superpower has been thrust onto the world stage and World War III is raging. The Empire of the Rising Sun has risen in the East, making WW III a three-way struggle between the Soviets, the Allies, and the Empire with armies fielding wacky and wonderful weapons and technologies such as Tesla coils, heavily armed War Blimps, teleportation, armored bears, intelligent dolphins, floating island fortresses, and transforming tanks.

Experience the next chapter of the Red Alert saga.

Red Alert 3 has been announced and the beta will come out in couple months.
Here is the site: http://www.ea.com/redalert/main.jsp
I personally loved Red Alert 1 and 2 and now I am very excited about the third game but I fear it might be a failure if they don't do it right.
Your thoughts?

I didn't like red alert because of it's way screwed up graphics and because a buildings could be killed with two shots, etc. But the storyline is awesome, so if they'll make RA with Tiberium Wars graphics (or better) it will really own.

 

[redmarine]

Me like very much.
I believe this is better than Command & Conquer 3.

 

[Gath_Stormer]

HAHA its coming out finally I am a huge fan of the Red Alert's and hope this will live up to the awesome Series.

 

[redmarine]

I really hope they know what they are doing by adding another faction...

It will, but it will probably suffer from failure, but imo armored bears will be enjoyable, and a naval base aspect might be cool.

 

[redmarine]

I really hope they don't take the traditional way with IXP... It doesn't work with Vista...

 

[TheDivineBoss]

I was always a huge^10 fan of it, I even joined the http://www.KaneLives.org/ site.

 

[redmarine]

Lol... Propaganda?

 

[Tyranid]

I really loved RA 2... But I fear ALOT what EA does to series...

 

[Andreja]

Woot cant wait armored bears

 

[TheDivineBoss]

Off-Topic:

Sorry couldn't temp it ^^

 

[skrab]

C&C Red Alert 2 is my best game ever, but when RA3 comes out i hope it will be the new best game ever but "EA"=crap
they renamed the Tesla Trooper to Megavolt god damn it

 

[redmarine]

They even added a new faction! I really hate how they ruined C&C 3... Even though it is popular...
TheDivineBoss, I don't think that is off-topic...

 

[Gath_Stormer]

bears... hmm first dolphins and squids now bears. and wait a second thsoe dont look mindcontrolled why woyuld they be riding a bear if its not MINDCONTROLLED.

Maybe they are trained from the beginning of their birth hmm? Maybe.

 

[redmarine]

squids were mind controlled.

Here is a better question! Who the hell in their right mind puts Electric weapons on ships!?

 

[TheDivineBoss]

Here is a better question! Who the hell in their right mind puts Electric weapons on ships!?

Hmm I dunno.. Maybe water guides electricity.. Hmm maybe.. Maybe it's like

Boat: *Zaps*
Water: *Zap*
Enemy: *Zap*
Crew of Boat: *Zap*
Everything that is actually in the water: *Zap*

 

[Gath_Stormer]

????? Zap wait i dont get it

 

[redmarine]

He meant it killed everything in and on the water including itself.

 

[Cham[p]ion]

Red Alert is awesome. Pretty much what got me into RTS games. Although, the storyline is insanely cliche and stupid. But, im sure it'll be a fun game.

 

[Gath_Stormer]

ya it will be awesome

 

[brad.dude03]

Greetings fellow Komrades! We will take over the West with our armoured bears! NONE SHALL LIVE! THE TIME FOR JUDGEMENT IS AT HAND!

 

[LordDz]

All I hope is that EA does go outside their thinking box, that they acutally make this game cause it should be fun to PLAY, not cause it will give them money.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

I wonder how all units would look like..

Off-topic question: Say does anyone mind to make RA(2) models? ^^

 

[redmarine]

I don't mind Off-Topic as long as it is

rapped in

Like this. Though I would like to see some Red Alert models.

 

[skrab]

Off-topic question: Say does anyone mind to make RA(2) models? ^^

don't worry, Illidan(Evil)X made RA1 models and i already started to make RA2 models

Psh...personally i dont know how people think Command and Conquer is fun, i find it irritating and stressful. and in truth, the only thing that is improving about rts games is graphics, i'd say Red alert three is gonna suck like every other rts does to me, but you guys shall say it kicks ass...seriusly, i dont understand how C&C is fun.

Oh, just shut up, necroposter-wannabe.

You just suck at RTS and strategy games.

 

[skrab]

yea TheDivineBoss is right, you just suck on RTS games

 

[redmarine]

Grade A Kill must hate Wc3 also then. He already said he hated Starcraft II so he is probably right that he hates all the RTPs games that exist.
Grade A Kill, it is a matter of taste. Some love power games and some don't deal with it.

 

[brad.dude03]

It's not really a necropost since I believe the thread isn't old enough to be classified as such.

But seriously, Red Alert was great fun as a strategy game, because it requires you to actually have STRATEGY.

You play custom games. Most custom games aren't really about strategy, especially not to the level of melee games. If you played melee games, you'd like other RTS games, because that's the purpose, micromanagement, resource management, strategy.

 

[redmarine]

I always loved to use smart strategies to make the game more enjoyable also to try to defeat my opponents off-guard, hard and swiftly.
Like massing chiro ships and attack from different angles so he can't consintrade his firepower.

Red, the only strategy games worth playing is Sudden Strike 2 RWM, Supreme commander, and im gonna loot into Medeival 2 total war. i hate all other strategy games because of the cheap ass unrealsitic gameplay.

today im playing WC3 and while my army is off killing creeps, my enemy built 6 Defence towers right outside my base, and had demolishers destroying my base from afar. what the hell do you guys think is ok about having a base built right outside yours so you cant attack the seige equipent attacking you? how irritating and stressful. i quit playing normal skirmishes, its only custom games from now on.

In SS2 RWM i lose because some guy got higher ground and flanked me at the same time. thats not irritating, its a flank, its good strategy, one time i was circled completly, too bad i didn't find that out until i was in retreat : )
these aren't irritating, they are good tactics, unlike building watchtowers outside is spawn point. (there are only reinforcements in SS2) I guess you guys have never played a good strategy game.

in command and conquer 3 i lose because some guy masses 50 mammoth tanks, how will red alert 3 be any different?

 

[Shadow_Fox]

You should really stop posting in these threads if you don't like the content of these games... *Takes a breath*

Okay, WHY are you comparing WC3 to supcom and mtw2?, mtw is turn based, supcom is more like sins of a solar empire, which is only real time in the fact you take no turns, wc3 is way faster then those....and what is sudden strike? :O

protip: games arent realistic deal with it!

On a less agrumentative note: i respect your tastes, and as such i don't feel like pursuing the matter more, just thought i should interject this.

These games are so 'cheap' because people have designed strategies to help them win in the fastest time (rushing of any kind), can you blame them? why would you want to sit in a game for hours when you can finish it in 30minutes? Regardless, there are many Rts's, you cannot judge a genre based on a couple of games, you found some you like, there are bound to be more, give new games a chance, at least download a demo and play it before blowing it off, otherwise you are being ridiculous.

/end

 

[Grade A Kill]

i give every rts a chance, it always ends in dissapointment. But seriusly, if games were more realistic they would be better, now if you played a realistic game you'ld understand, but you never have i bet.

You suck at lore.

You suck at Wc3.

It's always like that, learn2play. I once massed engineers and won.

 

[redmarine]

I don't like realistic games because they take too long. Also their game play is kinda boring. I like unrealistic games like wc3 and SC for their bad ass looks and sci-fi stuff.

 

[Grade A Kill]

You suck at Wc3.


It's always like that, learn2play. I once massed engineers and won.

ok, you know what, i was about to drop the whole thing until this, WTF IS UP WITH YOU?!? YOU WON BY MASSING ENGINEERS, I DONT UNDERSTAND THIS!!! How the hell do you like that game, rts games are freaken retarded now, only 3 rts games were good in the first place but still, Learn2play by massing engineers?!? SCREW THAT!!!

Cheap ass, Stupid, Incredebly unrealistic, complete idiocy, and massing units is all strategy games are then? I dont get it, you think a realistic game sucks why? because you cant mass 1 unit type armies and win? maybe you suck horribly at them. Maybe your too used to cheap ass unrealistic strategies that you cant switch to realistic strategies.

Realistic games dont last forever by the way, one multi-player game at SS2 RWM lasted 20 minutes, thats too long?

 

[redmarine]

I've never been a fan of realistic games because they are kind of boring because of the many boundaries. In unrealistic games you can be more free which gives you additional options to choose from.
In StarCraft Zerg units were able to walk/fly in space but I am fine with that because they are only aliens. They don't have to use oxygen to live. Protoss use telepathic links to communicate with each other...
Who really cares? The game is designed for being fun not realistically which often means you have to remove a lot of the realistic stuff.

 

[Grade A Kill]

im not talking about that type of unrealism, i dont give .01 of a rats ass if Zerg can live in Space, its the combat and gameplay that pisses me off ><
Lets keep the arguing out now, im tired of arguing, no one understands the points im trying to make.

and besides, what kind of realistic games have you ever played red?

 

[TheDivineBoss]

In war, you don't have time to think of realistic strategy, it's mass of being massed.

 

[redmarine]

I haven't played those games for years now so how am I supposed to know that? I only play Wc3 and StarCraft so me dunno...
Edit: I especially don't like FPS games where your aim isn't perfect.

 

[Daminon]

How would you like an rts to be in order to make it fun for you? :3

 

[redmarine]

He wants it realistic.

 

[Grade A Kill]

In war, you don't have time to think of realistic strategy, it's mass of being massed.

That makes absolutly no sense, in war you have to strategize, and the strategies used in Real war are realistic because they dont build alota engineers, capture and sell the enemy base : )

Of course they have time, in WW II they probebly had a days to think about what they wanted to do. and its not just massing, what happened at the battle of El Alamain, mass tanks and charge? no, i saw the battle map and it was mostly based on movement, angle of attack n such. not mass, charge, win.

 

[redmarine]

You are right about that. D-Day had a lot of preparations before it was executed.
Edit: Grammer lol.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

Yeah but it was still a bit flawed, like they accidently sended the 1337 soldiers to Ohama beach instead of the [name] beach all the way west. They didn't bombed the beaches correctly and the paratroopers were kinda misplaced, but still, they just had 10.000 KIA's.

 

[redmarine]

The Americans were foolish to not sail closer to the shores so their tanks could land instead of sinking to the bottom of the ocean. The British and the Russians were the cool dudes in ww2.
anyways back to topic.
