Hell march 3?
Fuck yes.
I too still play RA2YR and TS FS quite a bit. Maybe a Hamachi powered GO is in order soon? (I'm shit, though)
Bombardiers to your stations.
Cannot WAIT for RA3.
So it appears we must now influence the hand of fate and tell EA to contact Petroglyph and ask for advice, and hire Frank.
Hellmarch 2 for the lazy.
um
I did but never finished it. RA2 likes to randomly crash under XP on me.
You should.

The single player campaign was great. I didn't care for the multiplayer much, there wasn't anyone playing near me, so uh.. My ping was pretty horrible for all the games I tried, but skirmish was fun..
Ah, I had a friend in town who bought it and gave me his Allied CD so we could play multiplayer until I bought it for myself. This is the same friend who I used to play RA with over a modem or serial cable.
Well, the expansion is coming out next month I think. So I'd get C&C 3 before then to get used to it.
It feels kinda different.
My first job in the industry was as a tester on Red Alert 2 and Yuri. They were good enough that even after testing them I never got sick of them.
I can personally blame you for not catching the bug that randomly flips the fucking stereo channels for no good reason, then
Pretty much. Yeah. We kinda sucked during RA2. Around Yuri's Revenge though we figured out we should actually be looking for bugs and not having fun playing multiplayer all the time.
AN INTERNAL ERROR HAS OCCURRED.
Man, that was the least descriptive error message I've ever heard of.
It confirms that the RA3 Beta is included with the initial copies of Kane's Wrath for PC.
Im totaly going to pre-order that shit! Ive been looking forward to KW but this just sold me on it for good.
Sold....
Though I'd like to see the email...

That is just what they said after RA1 became so popular, there isn't much room for it to go if its the prequel to TD. :P
I was reading at the Petroglyph boards the other day, apparently initial plans for RA1 included Nikola Tesla functioning as the Soviet counterpart to Einstein...and with him at one point sending out a signal to call aliens (tie in to TD?).
I do wish that at some point they would do a connector...so that the Soviet ending branched into TD, and the Allied one went off on its own.
It wasn't "announced" exactly. The guy making the mod is a moderator at the official C&C boards, and was allowed to have a topic stickied pimping it for a little while. Thus it isn't canon.
Btw, you can find some screenshots here;

quick bits of info;
3 factions...the 3rd one being.........Japan?
And they mention energy sword samurai? (or at least that is what babelfish tells me that german site lists)
Pretty cool angle on the story, I'm very glad Yuri isn't in it...that got a bit too campy for my tastes.
What about?
Making them contact Petroglyph. I wants my Frank Klepacki music :P
They did try to contact him to do the music for Kane's Wrath...but he was busy at the time. Hopefully he'll have time to do the RA3 stuff. :P It wouldn't be RA3 without a new hellmarch...
Oh jesus, it looks like they amped up the navy a lot. Tesla Boats? Boats that can go from land, to water? Man this is going to be really interesting. I have to wonder though, what about Yuri? He was so fun to play! He also had the best base defense in the game. (Man I loved MC Towers + The Grinder, and the Tank Bunkers were pretty sick too.) I really hope hes a faction in the game. Even if they add in a 4th faction, and I have no idea what that faction could be, It could still be fun.
Is that 3 water buildings? One of them looks like either a power plant, or some kind of refinery... Hmm. Navy based harvesters? Maybe a 2nd resource that you build ocean buildings on? I MUST KNOW MORE!
That's.. That doesn't sound too safe for the crew onboard :P
Also, RA2 is all about being overly campy, that's why I love it so much! It was like a huge parody of the more serious nature of the Tib games.
I need to know more before I make any judgments though. it looks like any building can be put in the water. I think I see a MCV, War Factory, and Power Plant in the water in one of those screen shots. If that's true, it must mean that when you do that it allows you to build things for the water. Which could mean that there are loads of new units for the Navy.
We can already see some in the shots, Tesla Boats and Amphbious Carriors. I hope that they dont go too crazy with the water stuff, because really RA2 never had a huge focus on its navy. It was there, but it wasn't vary complex at all. Each faction had a unit that could either A) Counter Boats,
Things I hope they really dont do: Make MCVs move through water... I mean its one thing to have some one roll up to your base at the start of a match with his MCV and start building in your base. Its a whole nother thing to think your totaly land locked and have some one cross the ocean in there MCV and build on your island with out you knowing. I'm all for having a transportable MCV, but it shouldn't be doing that out of the box.
Land units hopefully are there focus with the water fetures just there for ease of use. I like the Island maps in RA2 but it was really a novalty to me. Land battles were where it was at.
Exactly.
