Red Alert 3 Beta

Really disappointed with it :(

Feels so claustrophobic coming from supreme commander. Just soo zoomed in. Keep wanting to zoom right out to see whats actually going on.
 
lol its funny you should say that, I just got an email from a friend on this discussion who said exactly the same!

I havent been able to play any RTS since SC for this very reason.

Join the club, fileplanet for me has been ass slow for a couple of years now, subscriber servers or even uk servers, im lucky breaking 100kbps on my 20meg connection.

I'm a paid subscriber and have been for ages. Always get 800kb/s when using the download client and "Maximum speed" server link.

You sure its not just virgin media with its normal slow connection that I hear people complaining about? I'm downloading the Beta now and its coming at 800kb/s as normal.
 
I can't believe they're still using the game engine from Generals. It's still far too zoomed in, people have been complaining about this for years and they still haven't changed it.

I've only played a couple of games so far but it seems to have all the problems of the last few C&C games :(

It's a shame because RA2 was awesome.
 
Theyll never change the camera now cause EA sees the money in console releases. So its easier and cheaper to make 1 game than 2, dumb it down for PC and little work needs doing for the console version.
 
Thank god I didnt waste ages downloading this!!

If someone showed me it and said it was a shareware game or a game from 1997 I'd believe them. Shocking.

May as well just play the original RA2 to be honest! The unit movement is shocking and the camera isnt smooth and moves in chunks. I understand they are trying to make it like the originals but why not just make a NEW version of the originals!!

Suppose some people may like it but I'll just wait for a new CoH to come out.
 
This is going to have to be good to compete with StarCraft 2 and Dawn of War 2. Can't believe they're using the Generals engine, it needs a major overhaul cos it looks rubbash.

I think its on the road to being my favorite RTS.

It's definately not another Tiberium Wars, this feels totally fresh. All the units have interesting secondary abilities and no unit feels useless, which is very rare in RTS!

The lack of zoom is really irritating but other than that I think its great! It's probably only my favorite right now as its new , but it is pretty good , its the best C&C at least IMO.

I must be the only one who loves the Generals engine games. Theres something about them I can't really place that makes them amazing for LAN games :/
