As sure as the spinning of the Earth, the ageing of a man and the fury of a Metal Gear Solid 4 fan at finding the game isn’t at the top of someone’s game of the year list, there are expansions for every Command and Conquer game. Red Alert 3 – a game that seemed a little lost in the tidal wave of big Winter releases – is next to get the add-on treatment, with a little number EA are calling Uprising.
It’s specifically focused on the single player/co-op modes, by the sound of it – featuring four new mini-campaigns, one of which they’re describing as something of a dungeon crawler mode. I.e. it’s possibly doing what Dawn of War II is doing. Trends are funny things. Oh, and they’re promising an even larger Hollywood cast, which means Kieron and Leigh will probably get to talk about mammaries again. Below the info-hurdle, a snippet of footage and ENTHUSIASTIC SHOUTING NERDY MAN going into more detail about what EA claim is one of the best C&C expansions they’ve ever made. Given the underwhelming C&C3: Kane’s Wrath, that’s a bold promise.
Looks like business as usual for Red Alert. Any regular RA3 players here, by the way? It’s one of those games we didn’t talk much about once it was released, for some reason.

I think the coop option killed the single player, yeah its fun to play with a human but if you dont want to go online, the game turns into a steamrolling crappola (well, the coop is also a steamrolling crappola but at least you have a laugh with your friend)
btw, the expansion for C&C3 was sooooooooooo bad, it was ultra short (finished it in a day) even tho they recycled some missions -_-, they were also easy as hell and they didnt even give the Scrin a proper campaign that was what i really wanted so i dont have any hopes for the RA3 xp
i think ill keep my hopes and money for starcraft2 (altho that also seems like its going down the crapper with the sudden “lets release 3 versions instead of 1, kekeke” thingy)
Yes, because Blizzard is clearly going to put 1/3rd of a standard RTS single player mode in each of three fully priced games.
A campaign w/ a dungeon crawler mode? Sounds like Myth.
Thanks for the Mammaries EA!
Shame you have to purchase it through EA’s abysmal digital store.
I’m pretty surprised enough people bought RA3 to justify an expansion. Maybe the idea is to get people who skipped it in the christmas glut to remember it’s still out there?
That’s the title of a porno right there!
You’ve spoiled the name “Die Hard” for me now. Although Die Hard 4.0 was a stupid name anyway.
I really like Red Alert 3! I’m still playing it, and I like it over some of the other big strategy titles for the same reason I prefer Saint’s Row 2 to GTA4: it proves that a game can be a rollercoaster of hilarious idiocy without compromising depth of gameplay. I eagerly anticipate the stupid explosions and shitty acting of the addon
Why is Yuriko not wearing underwear? With a skirt that short, that seems highly impractical.
My problem with RTSes is that there is usually a very thin line between “Oh no not another wave WHY” and “That’s it, should be safe, now how do I get through these crazy defences in the least tedious way?” You know, the point where it can go either way, where the real excitement is? Well, in RA3 single player these good parts are relatively big, it’s never too hard or too easy, and for a casual strategy player like me it’s a real blessing.
…But what the hell is with Jenny McCarthy’s hair? She looks like she’d fallen asleep in a puddle of glue or something.
You know what would be a worthwhile expansion? The three factions attempt to make peace at a conference, and the briefing girls (Eva, Dasha and whats-her-name) from the three factions join in a bubble bath together. Oh, and Yuriko wants to join in too…
…now that’s a video I’d watch off-game.
Mr president. Its not glue.
@Sene i wasn’t complaining its too hard. I was stating a preference for advanced strategy. The likes company of heroes and battlefield 2 provide, i mean i know they are not simulations but a classically weaker force can win in those games because of application beyond brute force reflex.
It wasn’t a “boo hoo i lose too much” post. Just a “i wish game x had more depth” post. Call me stupid but i like my highly strung action games like i like my women, able to make me reflect on higher reasoning.
I like how an advertisement for a game’s expansion also has to be brought to you by ATI.
