This has only just been announced. No pricing has been set, take what the online store says with a pinch of salt.
Maybe if you buy the SP thing you will be able to download the MP for free? Maybe if you buy just the MP, you will have the option to buy the SP part for a reduced price?

This is starting to make sense to me now. So we will get new units and maps, with the ability to get used to them in skirmish mode.
The campaigns will be shorter, maybe half the length of the RA3 campaigns but there will be a bonus campaign for Yuriko.
It was stated that one of the campaigns will be a dungeon crawler type, so I'm assuming it will be like an RPG? Maybe like the old RA1 indoor maps?
Maybe they are not releasing the multiplayer because they need to balance the new units first? Something that is needed for online but not for single player?

That new gunship reminds me of my idea of a "Spooky." Those troopers look like zone troopers but with a freeze gun.........a CryoTrooper?
The archers look cool and will definitely be AA I think.
Direct Download seems a bit silly. No multiplayer with the new units? That's stupid.

Keeping with the Allies air dominance, I had an idea for a tier 3 unit but to unlock it you also need to construct the Defense Bureau. How many of you have seen the Transformers movie? Well, it showed what is known as the "Spooky." It is an AC-130 Spectre Gunship. It is armed with huge gatling guns and howitzer cannons. For RA3, it could be a modified Century, it flies as fast but is more heavily armoured like the Kirov. It absolutely owns ground units and naval units but has no defense against air units. It's "F" function is a long range artillery mode using it's howitzers.

No it can't C4 vehicles like Tanya and it's rate of fire on land is slow that it could be overwhelmed easily by dogs, bears and infantry. In the water it's torpedo attack is less powerful than a Yari.

I have some questions about the online play since I have not played RA3 online, in fact I have never played a C&C game online even though I have purchased and played them all. First, during a game does the EVA announce when an enemy engineer, spy or commando is spotted? Does the EVA announce a superweapon and reveal it on the map? What is the average length of a game?
I do like RA3 but I'm disappointed at the exclusion of the SeAL and the Sniper. This got me thinking for a possible unit for the expansion that we all know is coming. Have a SeAL that is spawned from the Naval Yard. It is an amphibious unit. In water, it is a submersible sea sled armed with torpedoes to tackle ships and other subs even though it is only comparable to a Yari. It does however have a C4 attack on buildings but it is prone to attack while setting the charge somewhat like the Nod engineer in C&C3. On land, the SeAL becomes a sniper with a slow rate of fire and not able to snipe vehicles like Natasha. It still retains it's C4 attack on buildings, but is vulnerable while doing so. For it's ability, have STEALTH, which renders it unable to attack but invisible to all units other than commandos or animals because of their heightened senses. Just an idea but I am interested in what others think.
