Gold - Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3

EA announces that Conquer Red Alert 3 is gold, and that the PC edition of the alternate-history RTS sequel will invade stores on October 28, while the Xbox 360 edition will ship a couple of weeks later, on November 11. The announcement also outlines the contents of the Premier Edition, as well as a preorder campaign for both the Standard and Premier editions that includes a copy of Red Alert 2, an exclusive skirmish map, and more. Also, "as an additional bonus, everyone who purchases either the Premier Edition or regular version of Red Alert 3 will receive a “Women of Red Alert 3” poster and a redemption code for the Kossar’s Helm, an exclusive in-game item for EA and Mythic Entertainment’s critical hit Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. Using this traditional Soviet hat turns your character into a bear – you don’t want to be seen rampaging through WAR’s capital cities without it!"

Wow, not one comment on the actual game so far, other than the fans who are going to buy it anyway...

I played the beta and it's hard to judge how fun this game will or won't be in multiplayer.

The pacing in the beta was very fast, I felt like games ended in about 10 min on average and I never felt like the battles got very big or complex. It was typically a small group of units in one place, almost no reason to divide your forces, in the battles.

I think fans will like the game, the units are entertaining to watch, but I don't get the same feeling the game encourages any type of tactical skills. It's just action action action. After spending a lot of time playing Sins, CoH, and Supreme commander it's obvious this game offers a different experience I'm just not into.

The C&C games in general are the console versions of PC RTS games. (in my opinion) They just don't measure up to big games like CoH and Supreme commander.
