August 31, 2008 at 02:36Red alert 3 beta
I was lucky enough to get into beta testing the game Red Alert 3 from Electronic Arts. At one time, the second Red Alert and revenge of Yuri were passed from cover to cover, and the number of hours spent in multiplayer went through the roof. Therefore, the third Red Alert is waiting with great impatience. And I am very glad to present you the first screenshots and first impressions based on the beta version. Screenshots are presented on the basis of the Union vs Alliance party. The main emphasis on the Union (because we are all from there;))
What I would like to note first of all - only multiplayer is available in the beta version. That is, you play with the same testers.
The game has three factions - the Union (with sickles, hammers and stars), the Alliance (with eagles) and some Asians do not understand what.
The beta version will meet us with the following first screen: All pictures are clickable
The game loading screen is as follows: First of all, fonts are striking. Very much like fonts from various Soviet posters on like "Have you already joined the party?" After loading, only the main base and 10 thousand money are available. The construction process of buildings is quite interestingly drawn. If you look closely, there are posters on the construction fence with the logo of the Union from the second Red Alert. Stockpile collection. On all four cards, only two methods of extracting funds were discovered.
1. Sources of gold. They are located both on land and on water (about water a little later). Mining plants can only be built in the immediate vicinity of the source. If you send two mining machines to the plant, the production productivity will increase, but not much, because part of the time they will be idle. Sending three cars to one plant is generally stupid, because one will be stupid to stand and not have time to call in. 2. The second way to get money is the capture of oil rigs by engineers. Engineers, by the way, learned to swim. Allied - on rubber boats, Alliance - on jet skis. By Union Infantry: There are four main types of infantry troops. 1. Fighting bears (they don’t know how to shoot, only tear infantry to pieces) 2. Marines (well, there’s nothing new)
3.
Missile launchers (also nothing new) 4. Tesla warriors - packed in iron by the least pampered. What is shown on this screen? Here is that miracle machine at the bottom of the picture - it shoots with infantry, and at rather distant distances. This helps to quickly overcome the opponent’s fences and land a large landing at a fast pace. The truth is painfully slow, they descend by parachutes, the air defense will bring down. Big big chip. Now any buildings can be built on the water! To build buildings far from the base, it is necessary to build the Sputnik unit and deploy it. Such a mini MCV. The window for choosing special weapons that you get for points for killed rivals (a similar chip first appeared in the Generals) But this is a great and powerful Apocalypse.
IMHO, everyone will make up his own opinion about him, but personally he reminds me of a tank from some cartoons ...
Another Union’s most powerful weapon is the Dreadnought. Pay attention to the drawing of water. Mahach on the water. I don’t understand where the Union is, where the Alliance is ... and this is with 6 units on both sides. And what will happen during the battle of 40x40? Apocalypse closed with an iron curtain ram the enemy’s fence. It is rammed, not blown up. The Kirovs, with the support of the apocalypse, smash the opponent’s base. The remains of one Kirov die on the ground, the second, blazing, falls. The apocalypse is also blown up somewhere. In general, for C&C fans, this is a must-have game. All this is still a beta version, and the original may vary significantly) PS
Yes, it turns out this charm in October this year.
