 By the looks of the official (finally) announcement of
 Red Alert 3  http://www.ea.com/redalert/press_release.jsp

 I am going to say its going to be crap which is a shame
 Red Alert 1 (PC) and Red Alert 2 (PC) are GREAT FUN games .

 Releasing a RTS on a console is a BAD IDEA it will only result
 in watered down game play , slower movement and
 reduced multi player player amount.

 If you look at all the other game series that EA games
 have ruined over the  years its no surpirse that this series
 would get effected as well.

 I supported buying Red Alert 1 and 2 and one of the exp packs
 I doubt Ill support Red Alert 3 (PC)

 co-operative campaign play is something that a LOT OF PEOPLE
 wanted with Red Alert 1 and 2 its a shame it took this long to add it.

 With the watered down process are they going to downgrade
 from 8 players in Multiplayer to 4 or actually shock gamers
 and increase it to 12 or 16

 A standalone dedicated server is a must . I remember playing
 RA2 games from Friday night to Sunday (yes the same game
 session  with sleep/eat breaks) the game would slow RIGHT
 down after a while.

 I guess only time will tell with the leak of the beta (no doubt it will be leaked)
 and the release of the Demo and retail

------------------------------------

For anyone that has never played Red Alert 1 or Red Alert 2 on PC I suggest getting it
trying it out before playing Red Alert 3 gets released
