(Thanks, Muyang Li) Treat this as pure speculation, but over on a Chinese forum thread, enterprising 3l33t h4x0rz discovered a number of new text strings added to the game in patch 1.05, and in light of EA's professed newfound love for "micro-expansions", these could represent part of an as-yet-unreleased expansion pack's content:

SCRIPT:Y01_FILE001=Who am I?
SCRIPT:Y01_FILE002=Where am I?
SCRIPT:Y01_FILE003=I can juggle them.
SCRIPT:Y01_FILE_001=I've got escape. I can break down the door.
SCRIPT:Y01_FILE_002=Their minds are weak; they can be lured.
SCRIPT:Y01_FILE_003=I can protect myself with a psychic shield.
SCRIPT:Y01_FILE_004=I can slam objects and vehicles with my mind.

Hmmm, a character whose name starts with "Y" and who apparently possesses psychic and psycho-kinetic powers...

At first I thought it was Yuriko since she is Psycho-Kinetic.. But then again she's only voiced by a actress and does not appear in FMV's however if it is Yuri I will be happy, Anyway what do you guys think?

This is about the only thing that can make RA3 worse than it already is.

Thoose are from Yuriko, the Empire's commando, not from Yuri...

Some people say that in the thread but check this.

I think, Iit's not a Yuirko, because other text have another symbol on this position

Japan
SCRIPT:J01_INFO_TANKBUSTER

Soviets
SCRIPT:S07_INFOBOX_01_APOCTANK

Allies
SCRIPT:A01_INFO_PEACEKEEPER

?!
SCRIPT:Y01_FILE002=Where am I?

It seems that the first letter means the name of the main faction... (Just my thoughts..)

Proof? I doubt we will see a 'Yuriko' faction...

EDIT:@Red yes it is A = Allies = S = Soviets etc.

Lol, a Yuriko Faction... probely gane be even more OP then yuri in YR

[E.V.E.]

Ha! And I was talking about this to my Colleagues just 10 Minutes ago ...

No way in hell I would enjoy a return of Yuri. While alot of People I know would be happy as hell, it would turn me off realy badly.

WOW! You seems to fucking hate yuri a lot...

[E.V.E.]

Back then in the days it was just annoying as hell, seeing some Guy flying around and capturing your Buildings in Seconds, selling them.

While I do agree that they could try to balance him, I still think that it's time for something new.

[Red]

You mean a new faction thats not yuri? I've think about it before...
And I use to Imagen that the 4th faction in RA3 expansion would be those Gaint Ants

But I doubt EA is going to add something crazy like that...
EA also has mention that expansion has been plan before the RA3 was even release.

That's not Yuri's script afterall and it seem some missing srcipt or remove. Sometimes they make tiny mistakes.
Same example with Generals and ZH.

[RaiDK]

lol, a Yuriko faction... worst idea ever.

Heh... I only just realized Yuriko's name is a play on Yuri...

[Stinger]

It's Yuriko related text.

She can even "juggle" units with her primary attack if you click between units real fast.

There's nothing in this.

To be exact, Yuri Prime INSTANTLY mind controls _any_ capturable structures. Aside from Tech Structures and defences and some other uncapturable faction structures and the garrisonable civ ones, he's pretty much _really_ OP. By hovering over water he's immune to dogs. By hovering on land he's immune to dolphins. But hovering anywhere doesn't protect him from the 5 Hornets from the Carriers, Korea's Black Eagles, Harriers, Sovjet Siege Choppers, Nighthawks, British Snipers, Prism Tanks (Oh yes, they take him out in a single shot or two), Tanya, Boris and stuff.

You've got to fear the Mastermind though. If you MCed some IFVs and put engies in them and make them repair the Mastermind, he's got an _infinite_ amount of units that he can control...if he has probably 9 Elite Repair IFVs sitting beside it, which is impossible unless you've stolen an Allied War Factory and built as many IFVs before it/they got destroyed.

Thank goodness in RA3 these things don't appear.

You want proves? Use Yuriko ingame.

[Kichō]

I am a Empire player and I've used Yuriko alot... I still think it's Yuri however. :|

[BeefJeRKy]

I don't want the return of Yuri's faction. It was just too weird and unconventional. Yuri as a unit in RA2 was fine though.

Tried masterminding Engineer IFVs. Doesn't really work out. They repair less damage than the Mastermind sustains from excess mind control.

[Jordan]

I liked the Yuri faction, it could just use a little tweaking. Though really I just want mind-control logic for RA3. And the ability to make Tesla Tanks, that would be nice.

-Jordan

[Deverill]

Oh dear, well Red Alert 3 is bad enough as it is.

RA2 was ruined with Yuri's "Omega OP army"

....But then I suppose with the state RA3 is in, things can only get better.

[MR.Kim]

Back in played YR, I don't liked so much for Yuri faction. Such as Mastermind, Flying disk, P.Tower and yeah Virus.

[Destiny]

Virus was damn OP, even out-ranging faction-specific Sniper. Plus that annoying gasball kills and damage more things after the unit is dead.

And you have the Gattling Cannons. When they reach stage 3 aircraft simply CANNOT get near them, same goes for the Gattling tank. Then there is the Genetic Mutator-your-initiates-into-brutes-and-grind-them...plus the Boomer rush I've heard of, then the EXTREMELY OP MAGNETRON who can fucking steal your tank from the other side of the river and drop them on your units/structures. Prism Tanks used to be your only way to defend against Yuri beisde Robot Tanks, Tanya, some lucky planes and dawgs.

ITT we assume EA will just copy paste yuri's revenge into red alert 3

In my oppinion there is not proof of it being yuri, for we know it could be Yuriko P rime, Yuri or a new character called "Y" for what we know, one thing is clear, they look like they are for the future expansion

[Jordan]

I think that a spammable sniper unit would definitely be overpowered in RA3, with its new focus on infantry. If the Floating Disk was ever to make a comeback, then I would want it to only be able to disable one powerplant at a time, rather than shutting down the entire grid.

The mind control units were a bit excessive, and Psychic Towers could get to be a real nuisance.

And Yuri's one-ship navy certaintly wouldn't fly in RA3.

-Jordan

[Destiny]

Not to mention a single Boomer can kill 2 Typhoons specially made for Anti-Ship/Anti-Sub without getting blown up, IN ADDITION you couldn't Giant Squid the idiot and the octopus had to slap the Boomer like an angry housewife before getting obliterated a few seconds later.

I don't think Yuri'll make a return in RA3. He doesn't exist, to be exact. If more psychic, MC, chaos gas, magnets (Not counting the sovs) and stuff get into RA3, you'd see them flaming.
