Red Alert 3 Announced

http://www.bit-tech.net/news/2008/02..._3_announced/1

It's official. Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 is a go and all eyes are on EA as they make a sequel to the best RTS ever crafted.

WAAAAAHHHH!!!!! Yay and double yay! Along with the Spore preview today is a good day to be alive!

And for the record, Red Alert 2 was better than C&C, but only because it built upon what C&C had already created. Although in actuality, Red Alert was better than all of them.

My fav is the Original C&C, Tiberian Sun and Generals. Not a big fan of Red Alert or Red Alert 2, although Samkiller42 keeps making me play Red Alert 2 all the time. No doubt ill get RA3 to complete my collection but ive yet to buy C&C3 and get it installed

Come on Sam, when are we going to play Tiberian Sun?

Im here mike, have no fear. RA2 is the BEST in the Red Alert Universe from the Entire C&C stuff, C&C Gold is the best from that, although C&C3 is awesome enough. Sorry mike, Tiberium sun was crap, and looks worse than C&C gold on my 30".
RA3 was annouced years ago in an email that EA sent to people, then a few months later, C&C3 was announced. Frank Klepacki better be doing the OST to RA3, and follow up on the awesomeness of Hell March and Hell March 2. I will definatley be buying this, and like C&C 3 will be working my way up the 1v1 Ladder.

Red Alert 2 = best RTS ever. Period. Yuri's Revenge = Best RTS expansion pack ever. I still find myself playing it with friends when I have the time.

After remember what David Silverman said on Battlecast Prime Time Update Edition, he said EA were keeping 'the mother off all secrets' Just checks www.commandandconquer.com and found this:
Quote:
FEB 29 - BATTLECAST PRIMETIME EPISODE 7

Watch a new episode of BattleCast Primetime like you've never watched it before. What happens here on February 14th will be the hot topic of the show, complete with a number of details that we cannot reveal until later this week. Not to mention, the Grand Championship match from our first Ladder Season will be the hot featured match of the show, witness Relativit vs MrYuri in a USA vs Germany matchup that is sure to be an epic showdown for the $5,000 grand prize. More from APOC's corner and the fan-favorite segment, The-5, will also unleash in this new episode of BattleCast Primetime on Feb 29.
Could this be the announcment?

Sam

Great news!!
I always prefered Red Alert. It has so much more flavour then C&C.
Tiberium Wars Was very nice, but lacked that something.. something Red Alert had.

After the disappointment of C&C3, I'm really hoping they don't make an ass of it and besmirch the RA name...

Please. For the love of God.... let this RTS game have a proper zoom out. I get claustrophobic playing C&C3... its zoomed in so close to the bloody ground.

Make it like Supreme Commander's zoom and it will be GOLD !

Starcraft 2, Alan Wake, Spore, Red Alert 3..... 2k8 is looking like it could bring out a few top titles. (provided spore and Starcraft 2 actually get released in 2k8 and Red alert has a 2k8 schedule as well which currently is unknown).

Which is better? That's like asking whether I prefer marshmallows covered in chocolate or pancakes, they're both awesome.

On one hand, Tiberium has Kane and an awesome post-apocalyptic feel, but RA has russian accents, it's too tough to decide.
