EALA took Red Alert 2, fed it through a chopped up mutilated form of the CnC3 engine, added a storyline that made absolutely no sense and gave the newest tradition of extreme unbalancing that will take over 9000 patches to fully balance it. Not to mention their entire advertising campaign is just a bunch of vegas girls dancing around in soviet parade uniforms with really horrible acting attempts at being Russian. Only the males of the Soviet films were actually convincingly Russian.
Don't forget the stupid fan-base stuff spawned after CnC3 or w/e. This handicapped Battlecast primetime. It's full of stuff. It's 45 minutes of "HEY LETS TEASE AT THE FANS OF THE NEXT CNC HEY LOOK AT THIS MATCH HEY LETS TALK TO THESE GUYS"
Holy hell, these guys are like the mascots of Red Alert almost. Defenses are stuff, base building idea is stuff, and overall they suck in RA3 and can be beaten in a million ways, by both Japs AND Allies.
FDSFADFADF loving OVER POWERED ASSfriendS.
They have like a hundred super weapon powers they can call on at any time, they got rid of the loving awesomest superweapon IMO, the weather control device (thanks to EA's brilliant idea of "LOL EINSTEINS GONE" story). Not to mention their airforce. Holy stuff. I won an online game just cause of 4 allied bombers. That's it. It's all it takes.
These guys are alright. Sort of decent, and their assistant chick is hot to the max and not some fatter chick or bad-acting chick or no-acting at all chick.
These guys are actually decent in this game, but sometimes all the transforming things get a little confusing if you don't remember to do it right.
All smart people facepalmed at it. Einstein gone != no more nukes. Nukes would still exist. Sure the allies won't have prism towers (even though somehow they still do but a cheap lower rendition of it), weather control devices or chrono technology (LIKE IN THE ORIGINAL loving GAMES, AND SOMEHOW THEY STILL HAVE IT TOO IN RA3), but there'd still be loving nukes for the soviets. So then we won't get this stupid ass "vacuum imploder" stuff that looks like some japanese sunrise attack.
Pre-game rating: 9/10. I was hyped. I was pumped. I was going to love it.
After-beta rating: 6/10. The graphics sucked, the multiplayer sucked, everything sucked about the beta. I had no fun other than telling 2-3 friends "i got teh beta!!!!!".
After-game rating: 1.5/10. Horrible. It's worse than that horsestuff truck driving game with no proper terrain or w/e. I can't believe CnC fans are still playing this cheap excuse of a game. I expect CnC4 will probably be just as worse.
For the sake of humanity and the (now former) king of RTS, I hope EALA gets shut down. It should've been shut down after RA3, Uprising is probably just as worse. I didn't even bother thinking of buying it, or even getting the demo to see if its worth it.
IMO, Command & Conquer died after Renegade, the only good game after it being CnC3 where it was actually decent till they had to release like 10 loving patches for proper balance. Don't even get me started on this "rock paper scissors" chickenstuff.
tl;dr: RA3 sucked, Uprising probably sucks, and CnC should be left to rest in peace forever. Let something like Dawn of War take its place as King of RTS.
