Next time I'm taking you all out my self!

Or dying first--and then running to my closest FPS for comfort

I take that as you are going to play lots of CoD4 today/tomorrow and so on.

I can give you some tips so you can destroy Uruk's base in the next game. Hmm maybe you already know my tip... TANKS & AIRSHIPS!

You may rely on just two units but it sure seemed to work.. then again, Uruk spread himself extremely thin taking out the other two players--then you went after him. Smart, turtle til there's only one opponent left! ;P

You probably didn't see but I attacked blue players land base and destroyed it too in the beginning of the game (not my fault that dude was AFK then :P). Then I started to defend again, build more units and attacked Uruk.

Yeah I know, I did see it. For some reason I could see part of your base for nearly the entire match. I'm really not sure why, I'm sure there was some sort of reason for it. I also dropped some balloon bombs on you guys while you were fighting, because I could see that too. I didn't have any scouts in the area, and obviously neither party was my alley so.. yeah, I don't know.

heheh Oh yeah I thought the blue send those balloons. Btw you can control those in mid air. That way you will get more damage done.

Hmm maybe it was some skill you got? I am not sure how else you would have seen to my base.

Yea I never was there--I'm not sure--I was thinking that it was either 1) a bug, or 2) some structure or unit or something you did that made a small portion of your base visible (it was only above a certain structure) visible to the other players on the map. I'm not sure though, I don't believe it was any of my skills.

Ah then it was that iron curtain structure. I used iron curtain when I attacked so that's why you were able to see us fighting.

What does Iron Curtain do? I've heard/seen that go up several times and I have no idea what's actually going on. It has a timer and stuff, sure, but uh.. what?

In reply to

You can't destroy those units while they have iron curtain activated for them.

You can put a Iron Curtain over your units to make then invunerable to damage.. Real handy when you're about to send them in for a big (decisive) battle..

Oh wow.. that's a pretty powerful bonus.

Other sides have simular stuff though, or stuff to counter it.. In a match that's pretty equal, the player that uses these abilities the smartest/at the right time will win..

Yeah. It can also kill infantry and guard important structures from damage.

Allied has Chronos Sphere. That can instantly teleport some troops to other area you can see. Spy plane to enemy base then pick good corner to put some troops there with CS. That strategy can be annoying and do great damage to badly defended base.

No idea what Japan has.

Updater will DL and install it next time you connect to the game.

Video of the co-op in RA3.. Looks like it's all the SP campaign missions that can be played in co-op aswell, so no seperated co-op missions (luckily).. I also like how they implemented it in the missions (forcing you to work together etc)..

That's the most appealing part of the game for me. I think that sounds like a lot of fun.

Nice. That's really cool that it's the same campaign as in the SP mode. That map looked pretty cool.

Also seems there was some musics from RA2 but remixed.

The balance seems really off still in the beta.. As Soviets you rule the sea's with your unbeatable subs, and the Japanese rule the land and air with their transformers and rediculously strong longrange artillery.. Allies bassicly suck as their not really good at anything (didn't win a single game with them yet)..

Or maybe I still suck at this game, still have to learn it, not knowing what buildorders to use, as all I hear is 'not enough resources' all the time.. This while I'm doing nothing special, hardly building units, and have all ore-stuff captured I can capture.. It feels like teching-up as Allies is to expensive.. I can win as Soviets and Japanese, but Allies I just don't get it..

1 thing is for sure though, no more massive rushes in this Red Alert, simply because there's not enough resources.. It almost feels like you have to bet everything on 1 single tactic and hope it works, you don't have enough resources to cover/counter everything.. And when your tactic fails, you're most likely done..

Coop? RTS? Wow... I may buy this. My dad is a huge RTS junkie and that would be a very cool feature to use when playing with him.

This Sunday, August 31st, 2008 marks the 13th anniversary of the storied Command & Conquer franchise, which has sold over 25 million copies* to date. And to celebrate Sunday’s milestone and this October’s highly anticipated return to the world of Red Alert with Red Alert 3, EA Los Angeles is giving away one of the original games that started it all, Command & Conquer Red Alert, for FREE.

Really cool! Going to download for sure.

That's cool. Original C&C has been free for sometime too. I kinda waited when they are going to offer this as free.

Hmm about co-op in RTS games... Do I remember right that DoW2 will have co-op too?
