Red Alert 3

Has anyone tried Red Alert 3 yet? What do you think of it?

Dune 2000 was the first real computer game I ever played, Tiberiun Sun and RA2 were second and third. This series means a lot to me and i can't wait for RA3 to come out. Regardless of the reviews, I will buy this game.

i dont like it, i gave it a quick shot, and it feels unbalanced to me....

japanese are far to powerful. - i used 4 mech to bring down an entire base, and there superweapon is overly powered.

allys require too much micro management - uve got to put men in the defense structures and in some vechiles to change the gun type that structure/unit has, takes to long when your being attacked. - also noticed that they feel alot like gdi, infact the airport is basically a copy of the one used in tiberium wars.


soviets are the most balanced.

ive played 3 skirmishes and 5 soviet missions, im happy to report that the difficulty in a skirmish is similiar to RA2 very difficult lol.

well house of the rising sun or whatever they are called...

i found a bug today, while playing as rising sun and you build two MCV the walls will no longer work they just refuse to link up.

Limited installs = DO NOT WANT

I'll probably buy it when the price is more in line with what a long term rental should cost. If they want me to buy the game then they should let me keep the game. Simple as that.

I would probably crack it anyway. It is simply the principle of the matter. I won't pirate it and I won't give them money thus encouraging more of this reprehensible behavior. I will simply wait until the uncracked product is at an exchange rate that I consider reasonable.

It's a C&C and no matter what I'll always get it.

Sucks to get treated like this but whatever, this one I'm not going to fight.

C&C1 was my first computer game. Well I actually got the bundle that came with I think cover op's but the hours on that was it for me. Bought all the C&C no matter what and even installed C&C 1 on my work laptop just for the hell of it and it's still a great game.

At lunch I picked up the Premier Edition of it. I'm # 55593. I freaking got like 100 for C&C 3, bah.

my rule of thumb is dont spend more that 25pound on a game, any game. i live right next to town and can normally pickup brand new titles for about 25 with manager specials and things, but i see any more money than that as a complete rip....

i generally think every hour of gameplay should be about a pound, so if a game cost 40 quid i should get 40 hours of gameplay.

Yes, the cap is there.

Found this:


"Couldn't tell you but I do know things in the game are linked directly to frame rate so if you increase frame rate, the game will play much much faster while if fram rate drops, everything goes slower.

It's also, I believe, how multiplayer RTS keeps in synch with ever player. The game runs at the speed of the slowest PC/connection. Otherwise, you would have one player building and moving much faster than the person with the slower computer."

I can't tell the 30 fps limit either...when I'm just watching the buildings build or the units fight. However, i can tell a huge difference when I'm scrolling around the map. Everything looks jumpy to me at 30. However, it IS something I got used to in C&C3 after a little while.

Obviously the game balance would be preferable...but I don't understand why the game can't run on both machines at different frame rates but at the same speed. Obviously people who play FPS games like COD4 don't have this issue at different frame rates, or even other RTS games. It just drives me up a wall to have a frame rate cap at HALF of what the human eye can perceive. Really it ought to be at 60...then everyone's happy!
