Electronic Arts announces a two-pronged promotion to highlight the history of the Red Alert series and pave the way for this holiday season's release of the third installment of the C&C RTS spin-off. Things begin on Sunday, when to celebrate the 13th anniversary of the launch of the Command & Conquer series they will offer the original Red Alert as a free download from www.RedAlert3.com. Further, those who preorder Red Alert 3 will receive Red Alert 2 for free, making the entire RA series available for the cost of one game. Preorder customers will also receive a Red Alert retrospective, a Premiere Edition sneak peek, desktop wallpapers, and, when Red Alert 3 ships, an exclusive (huh?) multiplayer Red Alert 3 map.
