Red Alert 3 expansion pack announced!

WARthog's Photo WARthog 11 Feb 2009

I'm just glad that Uprising is Sinpleplayer only....the Giga-Fortress is just too over the top for multiplayer, especially if the other two wont get such an epic unit. Also i can imagine that this thing costs quite a penny and then you first get the fragile nano-core, so if that gets blown up before its built, you threw a bag load of money out the window.

Anyway...IMO the Cryo soldier looks nice and it's cool that his cryo weapon works like a flamethrower (multiple units at once) however i believe that the Allies need some better AA ground unit to defend its attack forces from airstrikes. The IFV just doesnt cut it, they always are the first in battle and get shot to pieces within second and there goes your aa. A well armored AA only tank is needed here with some nice passive secondary ability.
The Desolator is just plain sick....in a good way 8| . It looks like a refueling station on feet :sly:. i guess in combination with the tesla trooper they can be quite devastating.

In that video demo for challenge mode are quite a few new units to detect! Most of all that weird mech-tank hybrid of the allies...looks like some sort of heavy tank alternative...i wonder what weapons it'll have.

Bows...taking down...aircraft......Riiiiiight.

It does look pretty useful though, I give you that. Early AA-infantry plus anti-infantry artillery is quite a unique combination.

They do mention that the bow is only for looks. The weapon is more akin to a laser than an arrow.

Oh, finally a unit to shoot down planes. *Cries due to bow not being longbows (Yumi)*


I wonder if they shoot infantry without using their ability.

For some odd reason the Apollo is from Sweden :confused: Must be because of the Jas 39 Gripen, and the rest of the Planes and Weapons we make 8|

Interesting weapon system. Now only Japan seems to have an artillery unit without indirect firing capability....not that they need it :confused:

Yay. Allies have a standard bred and butter artillery system now. I didn't like the Athena Cannon.

Well, the expansion units could be released for multiplayer later on.

I hope so, cuz I would at least like to use them in co-op and in skirmish against the AI.

I think the new units may be useable in AI skirmish (don't quote me on this).

I don't see why you shouldn't be able to...hmm. It's too definitely too OP for PvP. Just gather a bunch of Gigs/Pacs and you'll literally level any fortified base, be it made in WB or built from scratch.
