Westwood Studios & Electronic Arts Announce Command & Conquer Red Alert 2

Sequel to three-million-selling strategy game to hit shelves this fall

LAS VEGAS, April 28, 2000 - Wielding strange new technologies and hungering for revenge, the Soviet Empire invades America. New York City and Washington are overwhelmed. Allied forces, unprepared for the surprise attack, are decimated. Will freedom be crushed under the heels of Communist aggression?

Gamers around the world will decide this fall with the release of Command & Conquer(tm) Red Alert(tm)2, the sequel to the three-million-selling, award-winning real-time strategy game Command & Conquer Red Alert.

Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:ERTS) and Westwood Studios announced Red Alert 2 yesterday at a press event in San Francisco. Red Alert 2 will be available for Windows® 95 and 98.

Command & Conquer Red Alert 2 brings players back to the alternate universe of Red Alert with an onslaught of new units, tactics and strategies. As in the original, gamers can choose to lead Soviet or Allied forces. Soviet commanders will invade North America and try to claim it for mother Russia. Allied commanders will fight to push back the invaders and save liberty.

Both sides are well-armed with conventional weapons and experimental technology. The Soviets can engage in psychic warfare, wield nuclear weapons and fry all they survey with Tesla technology. Allied forces can teleport with chrono technology, conduct covert operations with the help of gap generators, and rain down lightening bolts through weather control. Supporting these high-powered, advanced weapons are massive conventional forces, including armies, air power and navies.

The war rages across recognizable American cities, including Washington, D.C., Chicago, New York City, the Florida Keys, Pearl Harbor, even Texas. The war will then spread to Mexico, Germany, France and, of course, Siberia.

Says Executive Producer Mark Skaggs: "Red Alert 2, like the original, will be fast, furious and full of attitude - all without sacrificing deep, strategic gameplay. We want gamers to be constantly amazed at some of the wild weapons and tactics they can use."

Red Alert 2 will feature enhanced Local Area Network and Internet play. Players can engage in fierce combat over a LAN and battle via the Internet and Westwood Online. A built-in worldwide ranking system allows players to track their victories and defeats against other Internet gamers. The Worldwide Domination mode let's players compete in an ongoing war for global control.
