its like Dawn of War, they're ex packs are standalone, but you get more if you git more packs...

I believe EA is stealing, errr, using DOWs meathod of Ex packs.

Does anyone know if they are adding in the option to disable the super weapons/ ultimate weapons in skirmish play? Also, will we be able to edit the current multiplayer maps like change the amount in the ore mines etc?

Confused too? It is an add on. Red Alert 3 is just 2 MONTHS old and some group of people over at EA decided to announced that an expansion with some MINOR additional contents ONLY for single player mode with NO multiplayer or cooperative mode units addition for a cost. Apparently with a new commander's challenge with 50 scenarios and new maps. Tiberium Wars took about a good year before the Kane's Wrath expansion. I had no problems with that.

Again, as I pointed out, it should be free for the game to gain more popularity. More people will buy the base game. Most games took years before venturing to expansions. It amazes me that EA expects you to pay more for so little. I do buy expansions for games, but this time EA is selling it just after 4 months after release of the base game. Go figure.

1.the game has 50 challanges + campaign
2.some sort of dongoun crawler thing(cant spell i know)
3.all the complaining about something u know nothing about is just fliping my wig

basicly what it sounds like to me is we get a new game to play.it also sounds like this is what red alert was supposed to be in the first place but didnt meet deadline thats why its coming so fast.

and to whoever said ra3 had no real strat and it was spam wars doesnt know jack **** bout the game.

give ea credit they r keeping content coming for all im concerned they can keep adding on as much as they want
as long as its worth paying for i will(in retail) but we will see if it is

thnx ea we enjoy all ur hard work keep it up and forget the haters

Well, I can spend on that crap 1$, but you must send me a message where you say "Please buy our Uprising".

Is “Game Speed” and “Handicap” options going to be included in “Uprising”?

I cannot play RA3 in its current status right now.
Game speed is too fast and units die like flies within seconds.

So I stopped playing RA3 and went back to play C&C3 where these two game options are available.

all I wanted was game stats shown in the skirmish team select screen. Did EA ever fix that?

i would rather have a patch for ra3...

I hope they do this....

But i dont think game speed is the problem though...

I like single player. skirmish is fun.

I'll prolly get it if it's properly priced and goes retail, but not if it's download only. I download demos, but only buy physical media.

Not having a “Game Speed” option is a big problem for casual players such as myself who cannot keep up with RA3’s fast unit kill speed.

I have played 50+ RTS games over the past several years and I can say confidently that RA3 has the fastest unit kill speed.
In RA3 units get killed 3 or 4 times faster compared to other RTS games such as AOE3, COH, DOW, BFME2, and so on.

Online players may feel comfortable with such game speed but the rest of the players (90% of them) will not be able to keep up.

I enjoy playing C&C3 mainly because I can adjust the game speed.
Otherwise it would have had the same problem.

I don’t understand why EA omitted “Game Speed” and “Handicap” from RA3.

I like RA3 and I enjoy playing it, but not being able to keep up with the fast unit kill speed is just too frustrating.
“Game Speed” option can help a lot with that.

You should try RA2 or YR. That's RA3 on speed LoL

That only makes RA2 less “Casual Player” friendly.

In any case, RA2 is an old game and EA needs to look into the future and make user friendly games that appeal to everyone.

“Game Speed” option can benefit expert players and casual players alike.
Expert players can make the game speed faster and casual players can make is slower.

That is the power of game options.
It gives everyone a tool to adjust the game per their liking adding more replayability to the game.

I think its supposed to be that fast, maybe they use sum kind of auto gamespeed control feature i think.

CNC3 is faster if u put it on full speed, i remember that. Too fast yes.
