C&C: Red Alert 3 is going to be just like the old Westwood games!

I don't know, I loved Red Alert, but EA hasn't released a great C&C since RA2 (which already was inferior to the first), then came the horrible Generals and the just decent Tiberium Wars. This one has the Hell March and the cutscenes, but the gameplay doesn't look similar to Red Alert at all. I'm not getting that vibe, maybe I'll be proven wrong, I hope

Well, you have the building boxes like the old ones (which is a big step from Tiberium Wars), separate units (it doesn't say ''building'' when you click on an on-foot unit this time though!) and the stapled units such as Tanya, Dogs, Apocalypse Tank (or at least the Soviets have the best tank, like in the old one), etc. There's also the Chronosphere, the Iron Curtain and the Tesla Towers! The gameplay is like every strategy game, so I don't see how it can be different other than the new naval aspect.

I have to disagree about Red Alert 2 though. Sure, it didn't have the sneaking missions from Red Alert, but the engine was so much superior to it's predecessor, and the new units were much needed. Westwood Pacific made the game if you didn't know, so shame on you! xD

 

actually just westwood studios.. they didn't have.. departments like that.  :p

Hmm.. one thing i'm wondering is why you keep referring to the naval aspect as new ? i mean you could have ships in both ra1 and ra2. The only new thing is the whole "build ya freakin base on water mate."
