*** Red Alert 3 ***
- Thread starter Totality

Its too futuristic imo. The original RA had it right, proper huge maps that take some tactics rather then spam units and send them all in to attack. RA also had much more realistic things in it, other then a few structures like chronosphere and such.
RA3 also makes water pointless, in RA1 in was an obstacle, it limited movement of ground vehicles and it was fun playing soviets and using subs to try take out the allied battleships. In RA3 too many units can easily travel over water, which means that instead of changing tactics to move arround water, or using it as an advantage, you simply ignore it and play as if its ground, since most units can travel over it anyway.

C&C has ALWAYS been about unit spamming and massing!
Yes but in the original RA singleplayer, i didnt just mass a huge army, then right click the enemy base. I had to put a little bit more thought into it. Also in RA the enemy didnt always give you a chance to mass a huge army, some times you had to attack with what you have, and pick your targets carefully.
i dont like this gameso dissapointed in the gameplay, plus it seems slow and boring.. im considering taking it to a shop and trading it in for cod4 or something.
Well obviously a RTS is going to seem slow when you compare it to CoD4 (an fps) >_>

Very wierd but there is something sexy about Gemma Atkinsons voice
What a found amusing was her smiling at the end of her wee segment a good few times especially when a Russian Task force was about to invade Brighton, (guess to blow up all those gay mini drivers……….or I’m I thinking about the wrong place……) No seriousness or Panic at all, it was like she was telling you that she had a nice walk in the park today.
Probably clutching at straws but as an Allied officer maybe its her job to stay calm in all situations
who said i was comparing to COD4... it just seems really sluggish and boring general.
She's an actress? Though she got the job 'cos she's got cracking norks. Which we don't get in the game anyway

Anyone else have mouse issues with this?
It was fine for the first few days, but now the mouse buttons stop working for about 5 seconds. And today, all the units across the map (Q key) seemed to keep selecting. It's very un-playable like this.
A Google search reveals I'm not the only one though.
