Red Alert 3

[GenHellspawn]

I've been looking into it and the game seems balanced by what my friends say

Your friends obviously haven't played the beta. This game is terrible (not to mentioned unbalanced).

It's called a beta for a reason you know.

I would agree with you, if they actually changed anything.

You're kidding me.

Nope.

I've got to admit that i never played any red alert game...what makes this RTS different from other RTS games?

Red Alert is usually easy to understand, yet hard to master (learned about the versatility of spies just recently, plus tons of other sublime tactics). It is well known for it's distinct factions (often stereotyped amazingly great) and creative units. I thought gameplay was always fresh and plays out in many different ways.

Plus, hawt women, apocalypse tanks and a bizarre storyline (not even TRYING to be realistic, in contrast to the general RTS).

It's crap. End of story.

I see your argument, and I'll raise you an elaboration

This was always awesome about Red Alert. It just got more absurd over time.

I for one am going to wait and see with this one. Dismissing it out of hand before playing the damn thing is a little childish, although I see some of the worries people have.
