I'm keen to download it, since my ISP has free offpeak at 1am - 7am.

This should be epic win.

Who has it? Much better than RA2?

Red Alert 3, nigga.

How many other games have just been released recently that have letters starting with "R" and "A" and are the third game in its respective series?

You didn't say it was a recent game.

That aside, my friend is pretty harsh and has high standards for games, and he says it's really good.

A quick wikipedia search of "ra3" would bring you to a page of abbreviations, then you would assume I'm talking about Red Alert 3, because who the fuck plays quake? From there, you would see it says "released October 28 2008".

Assuming you can read :)

yes i have the premier edition of RA3. its a fun game. though i wouldnt say it was better than RA2 or yuris, but its still a great game to play on multiplayer. balancing is still an issue, but not as much as in yuris revenge

the game pace is pretty much the same as RA1 (that is, slower than RA2, but faster than generals).

the only annoying thing is DRM, but since youre downloading it, it wouldnt be a problem

the cinematics are beautifully cheesy as always and good for a laugh.

I knew this was what you were talking about (before clarification), but many people here do inquire about old games.

Another thing the same friend mentioned I can't quite remember... either "rushing" is easier to do, or easier to defend against. Can't remember if that's the right term, but massing a big army fast and attacking.

i think overall it's an OK game, but for me its a little too slow paced, I still haven't beat any of the campaigns because I lost interest and for some fucking reason I can't get online.

Anyway, I would wait till it comes down in price a bit before buying it, so far I think RA2 was slightly better.

I love engineer rushing. Then mass selling their shit.

EDIT: lulz, tried to download it last night, fuckin' computer went into sleep mode during the download, and the internet cuts off when it goes into sleep mode ....

Well i like red alert 3.. i'd give it a 85%. Can't compare it to the old red alert IMO. Randy Couture is one of the officers in it though haha.

<3 RA3.

I downloaded the 2gb version, can't play online though.

But I did hax, installed Hamachi and used that to play online through LAN. I tried it with some guy that had RA3, but his one was purchased, and it said that we need the same executable.

Pretty keen to try it with someone who has downloaded it.

yeh although i bought a copy of RA3, even the collectors edition, i pirated the game as well, simply because i want to preserve my 5 authentication attempts before they release their deauthentication service

Recent posts make it sound like you're not very far away from getting your hands on the GTS25t, how much more do you need before one's yours?

I thought it was pretty shitty. But I didn't really like the whole cartoony effect - I prefer the more serious approach like the older ones. After Tiberium Wars (Which I liked), I was expecting something along the same lines but Red Alert style.

Still, it's not a bad game by any respect, just didn't like the less than serious approach.

I have 3K. Lulz.

But working nightshift at work for three weeks in a row, that's six nights a week for three weeks, nightshift, 8:30 pm to 5:30 am, I'll get about $2100.

I've already used like 3 or 4 of my installations lol...

I was one of the unlucky few who got a retarded serial number that was missing the last character. I returned the game and got a new one, but uninstalling and reinstalling is a nightmare.

Especially when you're trying to trick EA into thinking you bought two copies of RA3... :rolleyes:

heard about that... i was one of the unlucky many whose serial number was not authorized to play online for the first week or so. seriously how hard is it to get a simple thing like serial codes done right.

Kinda sorta not really, i ended up getting bat shit drunk and playing it on my 50 inch for like 3 hours.

Its kinda cartoonie and has the Generals feel to it, when you kill the emperor, music sounds just like the GLA

Who didn't see this re hash coming?

Good load times and a budget 800-1200 ish comp should be able to max out everything at 16x12

as someone whos played all the CnC's (even covert ops, counterstrike, firestorm etc) i find RA3 would rank higher than generals, ZH, CnC3 and KW, though it didnt have the same effect on me as the older games

I got RA3 LAN working with Hamachi, my downloaded version.

My friend and I have the same downloaded version, when we tried to plan LAN it said same serial cannot be used in a LAN game, so I did something to change my serial, and it actually worked lulz.

LAN is alright though, prefer RA2 LAN...
