New Poll: What do you like the most in RA3 Uprising?

[Sonic 293]

With Red Alert 3: Uprising having been released for just over a week, and everyone has had a good time to experience all that it has to offer, we want to find out what you think is the best part of the game overall. So with this in mind the new poll asks you What do you like the most in RA3 Uprising?. Maybe its the traditional campaigns, the very different Yuriko campaign, the irritatingly hard Commanders Challenge or the just standard Skirmish. If your reading this news on the main page just look to your right and vote in the poll box, if your reading this via the forums click here to cast your vote. And, as always, don't forget to share any feedback or comments about this poll as well.

 

Now to the results of our previous poll, Red Alert 3: Uprising should be released as..... The results here were predictable, of the 451 votes, 84% wanted to see a retail DVD release of Red Alert 3: Uprising. The full results of this poll can be found right here.

Hope EA takes those results and puts them to good use making some physical Uprisings.

Second that. Or perhaps they can release a physical combo package with RA3 and upcoming booster(s) packs.

Children be civil now.

 

I like the commanders challenge, its very unique. Well some missions are, some aren't. I didn't like the skirmish much when compared with RA3, where you could control your ally. In this game, they just ignored all that, which was a shame...

 

Though some of the new maps are nice.

I am going to play it throughout 2 weeks slowly (starting from now an hour a day or less) and possibly making a review about after I finish it.

I doubt you'll be finished after 2 weeks

[Malevolence 6]

I just started playing. I was amazed that the campaigns and challenge are really awesome. Since I'll be playing the most an hour a day, by calculation, I guess the game will keep me occupied for a long time. LOL. (which is a good thing.)

Sorry but I can't really vote anything

[G0NE2W4R 0]

Voted for the Yuriko campaign, its interesting and unique story.

[hagren 0]

The traditional campaigns, especially the Soviet and Allied ones. Yuriko's a close second. The CC would be fun as well, I just lack the patience

[Red Blitzkrieg 0]

The commanders challenge, it might be a rip off of the Zero Hour's challenge mode but it works.

[Inferno 22]

The soviet campaign

[PurpleGaga27 39]

Commander's Challenge is somewhat like a custom mission pack.

 

Why didn't RA3 deserve a Generals Challenge? Save that for Generals 2?

[Malevolence 6]

I've completed the Yuriko's campaign and played a little in the other areas.

 

Yuriko's campaign was awesome, really, nicely done and is an excellent new RPG element in the C&C universe. However it is pretty short, for just 3 mini missions, I just want more.

 

Commanders challenge reminds me back in the good old RA counterstrike/aftermath add-on missions, but more detailed and visually appealing. For once I though it was a Generals challenge rip-off, so for that I'm pretty satisfied in this direction of the challenge. And I haven't finish it yet, I'm uber slow.

 

As for the missions I'm still working on it.

 

As for the skirmish (thank god they didn't remove skirmish so I can test on the new units), there is some difference. The Commander AI's name has been replaced by specific AI's ability. I don't know if that is the good thing or a bad thing though.

 

I guess I still put a hold on the poll until I finished the campaigns.

[Sonic 293]

There is lots to like in Uprising. I can only pick two things that annoy me. The high frustration factor that comes with Commanders Challenge. And when ever I'm on those maps with the new fog effect the frame rate suffers. I can have units, action and explosions all over the screen but this white coloured fog comes rolling in and slows the game down.

[hagren 0]

Try reducing AA to 2*, that eliminated the framerate drops concerning fog for me.

I got it sorted. I noticed the Nvidia display drivers were a bit on the old side so a I downloaded the latest drivers and its much better.

[Inferno 22]

I have AA turned off, don't like the way it looks. But maybe that's just me

[Sonic 293]

I have to be honest, regardless of the AA being set a 2x, 4x, 6x or whatever it doesn't look any better or worse. It all looks the same to me. Kind of like whole Xbox 360 720p/1080i/1080p debate.... again I can't see any difference.

[Inferno 22]

Well on a large screen tv you can really see the difference between 720p/1080i/1080p but I don't know how that goes for the 360....

 

Anyway to stay on topic, I really like the main idea of the Challenge mode, that you unlock new units with each challenge. In fact, I wouldn't have minded to start with even less units, just because it's so awesome unlocking all these units

You'll see the difference on a larger screen. Btw I finished the Soviet Mini campaign! It's good, but kinda short though. Now working on the Allies and EotRS...

RA3 is still defaulted to CNC Generals/Zero Hour FPS limit rate at 30. 60 FPS limitation is better. However, without the RA3 mod sdk, we can't modify the FPS limit rate.
