HAHA, That smiley face on the Chrono Timebomb made me laugh more than it should! I'm really getting a good sense that this will be a very very solid C&C game that will do extremely well.... I don't get the naysayers, what's there not to like about how this game is coming across on the Marketing Front!?

What you forget my friend is that this isn't the "Tiberian" Saga. Such a series requires that attention to detail. There's canon to consider and a serious attention to a detailed, well developed story. Red Alert is different. It's purposely built to be messed around with to suit the universe as the writers see fit. That's the glory of Time travel, it doesn't have to make sense, so long as it makes sense if you see what I mean.

 

One Avenue I would like to see explored which Yuri's revenge touched upon was forward time travel. A nice little paradox which looks at having to save the future in order to dictate the present. After Red Alert 3, we've gone backwards enough.. let's see what the crazy weapons of the future will bring... The potential for innovation would be rife ya?

Yeah, last thing we need is another tragic C&C related death. :P

Hey, how about that badass bald guy that never seems to die? His name is Kane methinks.

It will use up 2 installs if you do that. But in theory if you just contact EA customer services and say that you just purchased a new computer they would probably give 1 of installs back.

yes you can! those 5 installs mean also unlimited uninstalls so then again 5 installs!

 

when you get the computer go to your fathers pc and uninstall it and be online, that will FREE your 1from5 installations and you can install anywhere then.

 

this is mostly usufull when you reformat, just uninstall the game before reform and you have a free potiion again, you JUST cant have MORE than 5 Times the game Installed at the SAME time! playing or not doesnt matter, if you dont play uninstall it!

 

the protection is no reall problem, mostly made to prevent unlimited online games from netcafes that have bought only 1 disk licence.

Please don't turn this thread into another RA3 DRM topic. A little off-topic posting is fine but lets keep it on-topic. Especially in these news threads.

 

I highly recommend watching this trailer in HD, rather than the SD version above.

maybe the single player will reveal that the Empire did that...?

 

That would explain all the futuristic weapons.

The Japs are a good 10 years in front of the rest of the world anyway when it comes to experimental technology. I mean they've already built real walking mechs!

 

So given that the original Red Alert happens in the 60's and Red Alert 2 in the 70's... those get wiped... and no world war 2 & 3 occur since in Red Alert 3, none of the previous Red Alert wars took place. For Japan to reach that height of technological advancement, we'd have to say that Red Alert 3 and the new World War 2 happens somewhere in between 1985 and 1995.

 

In theory the Soviet jump through time was at a point between Einstein developing the Chronosphere and taking out Hitler, and the first Red Alert war taking place. Which would mean Stalin never attacked Europe because the weapons were not there for the Soviet Union to exploit. Since Japan never entered the Red Alert wars (because of their non existance in this new dimension).. we'd have to presume that they were more free than they are in real life to spend that funding on an excessive War machine and higher technological growth. Which arguably would state therefore that they would actually be 20-30 years ahead of current technology.

 

So while the Allies are in the realm of 80's-90's tech, the soviets still struggle on the same tech from the 60's & 70's... while Japan is actually in a technological age of about 2020-25! Which is why their futuristic realm exists.... No time travel involved ;)

Yeah, but your seemingly logical idea is no fun. It kinda ruins the guessing games that some of us like to envision. Although I wouldn't put it past EA that such a simple minded answer equates to their storytelling skill level... but I'm willing to give them a chance to be creative for once. After all I'm suprised that most "so-called" veterans haven't caused chaos, rioted, and burned down 90% of community forums over EA's decision to wipe the previous 2 Red Alert games from franchise History.

 

But then again those who never complained about C&C 3's shortcomings could be given a colouring book and be entertained... Enough said really.

i was joking.

 

my idea wasn't explained as well as yours, this doesn't make it worth less. and sometimes, simplicity rules.imagine what story could be made to explain HOW the Empire ended up with actual future technology.

 

colouring book!? thats fun regardless ! :lol:

Japan probably wouldn't have become as interested in advancing technology if WWII never happened. I highly doubt they would be 20-30 years ahead in technology.
