An expansion pack is coming out for RA3 in March

Info here:

Its also stand-alone so if you're stupid and dont already have RA3 u can still get it

Depends on the price and content.

And i don't like being called stupid, RA3 pales in comparison to how groundbreaking the first two red alerts were.

LoL, I Really Enjoyed RA3 And Defenantly Be Getting This If Its Reasonable.

Oggy, Dont Take it Too Heart, He Was Kind Of Joking.

I've only played RA3 for a couple of hours, been really busy

I hope it adds countries and more special units ^^

There's also the Commander's Challenge mode, which features 50 unique, successively tougher scenarios, some of which are unlike anything we've ever done before. For example, in one particular challenge you get to go toe-to-toe with a new breed of Soviet War Bear, which happens to be much bigger and much nastier than usual. This mode offers an additional 30 hours of gameplay that we think the fans will enjoy. We're really happy with the way it's shaping up.

This sounds freaking brilliant ^^ Would love to play those!

Only downside is I'll have to buy RA3 all over again... Maybe they'll make a "diet" version for people who already have Red Alert 3? So we only get the new content, but don't have to pay so much for it...

I know chicken.

Regardless, the expansion sounds pretty promising but eh, what doesn't make a load of hype nowadays? Guess I'll see how it turns out

Skillers · Thu Jan 15, 2009 7:45 pm

DHR, it's standalone, it doesn't come WITH RA3, but works without it. So you'r enot buying RA3 again. It's a good way for companies to make more money off the same game, and it's usually not a fully priced game, but expansion pack price.

it is delicious cake, you must buy it.

Ogris · Tue Mar 17, 2009 6:12 pm

So i just finished up playing this.

Soviet campaign - Quite interesting
Allied Campaign - SO FUCKING BORING
Japanese - Haven't finished yet
Yuriko - Quite an interesting campaign, reminds me of an old game called Nox in the way it's played, but it's way too easy, and the "story" twist is so insanely obvious, it could be a Hollywood movie!

New units are all uber, and overpowered, but cost a lot.

Skillers · Tue Mar 17, 2009 7:36 pm

Isn't it EA Store only?

Ogris · Tue Mar 17, 2009 10:00 pm

Nope, it's retail as well.

Not sure when the release date is though.

I r getting it naow!

Another 5/6 hours to wait though >.< Dam EA Download manager!

It says on the EA store its online downloadable only

"Digital Only Media" or something O_o

De4dW0lf · Thu Mar 19, 2009 3:48 pm

I need to buy this... does it have co-op or is it solely single player?

DHR-107 · Thu Mar 19, 2009 4:12 pm

Solely Single player unfortunatly... I was quite shocked at that too D:

Soviet first mission is hard

Havent done the second, got pre-occupied with the Yuriko missions... Which are kinda odd O_o

De4dW0lf · Thu Mar 19, 2009 10:03 pm

After much deliberation on my part, I've decided.
I'm going to buy this game, probably tonight, if not, soon.

DHR-107 · Thu Mar 19, 2009 11:50 pm

Yeah baby!

De4dW0lf · Fri Mar 20, 2009 7:42 am

Purchased and downloaded from EA store with NO problems! (although I'm yet to install it

)

Skillers · Fri Mar 20, 2009 1:58 pm

Just make yourself a backup copy incase you want to reinstall it in 6 months...

De4dW0lf · Fri Mar 20, 2009 11:40 pm

Extended download service = 5 years!!! BITCH!!!

Skillers · Sat Mar 21, 2009 12:11 am

Don't you pay extra for that?

DHR-107 · Sat Mar 21, 2009 2:45 am

Nah its a freebie.

Finally finished the Soviet Campaign, kinda awkward in the last mission... Allies get some seriously good tech really early on O_o

Havent done either of the others yet

Skillers · Sat Mar 21, 2009 2:53 pm

Ah, seems the EA store has improved slightly, then.

DHR-107 · Sat Mar 21, 2009 9:06 pm

Mid way through the Allied campaign now, It seems okay at the moment (if a little easy compared to the Soviet one)

De4dW0lf · Sun Mar 22, 2009 10:02 am

I've done the first mission in every campaign and the first commander challenge.
The first Soviet mission was really fun;
Allied was way too easy;
and the Empire one was pretty much another soviet mission

The Yuriko campaign is surprisingly fun, there is something really satisfying about throwing a table at a ninja using only your mind

The commander challenge seems OK as well, my computer kind of died on the second one though...

DHR-107 · Sun Mar 22, 2009 10:24 am

I think we need to start a scoreboard for times on the Commander Challenges
