You're force to play with a dumb AI in each campaign mission btw, which sucks.

Not forced. You can play co-op.

Everytime I return to the main menu I have to stare at a black screen for 30 secs... wtf?

Every game thats come out lately seems to be getting slated.

Because the people who do like it are too busy playing it

.

Had a quick go, looks a bit disappointing, need to give it more time.

The computer co-op allie sucks loads but Ill just play the game with my mates or online to make it more interesting.

Not sure what some people are moaning about the game being to "cartoony" and "colourful". Don’t you remember RA2 or didn’t you play that game. EA have tried to keep along with the red alert theme which I think they have done a cracking job. The game is meant to be unrealistic to a degree and to be taken to serious I think if you cant see that then you shouldn’t be playing the game.

Damn... this game has DRM?

I guess I can't download it then :rolleyes:

Nothing like RA2. It's C&C3 with Generals crap money gathering system.

Cheers Kreeeee - will have to wait and see - just bought TF2 so will get back into that for the time being and leave RA3 be for now.

I'm still in 2 frame of mind I've always bought C&C game RA2,YR,Ren,Generals+exp, C&C TIb Wars and Kane. But this whole DRM business has annoyed me belief and its on the download but still not sure to actually buy it 2moz.
I don't use EA forums so I won't get banned there but if you annoyed one mod then you can't play online with your EA titles. Is it me or is EA trying to put themselves out of business or get rid of PC side of EA. Even microsoft isn't that bad when it comes to activation on Windows XP.

The whole activate 5 time. Then afterwards phone EA and explain why u need more.Then relying on them in 5-10years time to patch RA3 to remove DRM. When DRM server be switched off (hopefully.

EA probably have lost more sales due to DRM than gaining. Even people who have always bought titles are getting peeved.

A retarded American is worse than the AI and my mates don't have the game yet. Shame you can't play single player as a single person, a truly idiotic idea.

Souness · 30 Oct 2008 at 17:38

Argh. Everytime I got to the main menu it blackscreens for a good minute or 2. I think the game is trying to check for patches, but because I'm behind a router it freezes up. Since I can't forward ports on my router the game is basically ruined for me. What a ******* joke.

its not the game at fault then, goto the router forum and discuss fixing your router issues there.

Sorry, meant to add a rolleyes after that. Most deffinately sarcasm.

West · 30 Oct 2008 at 18:30

It's not too bad, not what I expected but not all bad tbh, the Graphics are a little too cartoony for my liking, but the gameplay really isn't half bad.. Don't like the resourse gathering though, they should have stuck to Ore fields...
