Just put your games on Steam, EA. You obviously can't handle this whole releasing games business by yourself.

Yeah :( - cause the guy on the forum said C worked, and all the sequences end in letters up to the last one. What makes it annoying is on the third try the installer shuts down haha.

Wow, I REALLY like the secondary unit functions, the formation types, I mean it adds tactics to the tank rush gameplay of C&C. So cool.

MAF, are the graphics awesome?

This is why every pc game should be available for purchase on steam.

Yeah the graphics are really clean. Still, I think one could argue that C&C3 looks as good.

Regular C&C games attempt to be too realistic for their own good. 

Red Alert series has been the best since the storyline and units you use are completely outlandish.   Amazon shipped my copy out today, hopefully I don't have to play the alphabet game to enter my code.

This game is really great. I love the unit variety. People who bitch about secondary modes are idiots. I like how when you use the russian microwave thingy to launch giant enemy battleships into space, if you use the power that lets you crash decomissioned satellites on your enemy the battleship you sent up will sometimes come back down haha.

Edit: oh and dont get me started on the shooting bears out of cannons and their little parachutes hahahah

OMFG this game is so cheesy and awesome!

shooting bears out of cannons and having them parachute into bases = ultimate win.

still, im partial to the alliance. I mean they have battleships that can travel on land lol

has RA always been this crazy?  I've NEVER liked C&C but this sounds kind of interesting

RA2 Yuri's Revenge is when it got REALLY wacky, this one is that times 10

red alert 1 was kinda serious red dawn-ish with hokey acting. the kooky meter has been dialing up ever since, which i'm fine with -- i prefer crazy units like armored bears and giant robots, anyhow.

hmmm

perhaps
perhaps

and the helmet which turns me into a bear for warhammer is a neat incentive too

I think you need the collectors edition for that? I got the normal edition and it said I got a warhammer item, but I didnt see a code or anything. How does it work?
