A few clarifications so it's all in one thread. First off, I made a mistake:

-Uprising WILL HAVE TRADITIONAL SKIRMISH MODE, so you will be able to play agianst the AI with the new units that have been added to each of the 3 factions. We're also adding a huge number of new maps. While this expansion add-on has a huge central focus on single player, we were able to incorporate traditional skirmish. See below for further explanation.


And now for some more consolidation:

-The Commander's Challenge which features over 50 different scenarios is very similar to the General's Challenge Mode. It is not, and I repeat not simply an achievement based mode. This is an entirely seperate component of Uprising comprised of over 50 different challenges which are almost like mini-missions with different objectives and challenges.


-While Red Alert 3 base game is still in its infancy, its important to us to continually give the game strong support with patches, tournaments, etc as it continues to evolve. Our objective with Uprising was not to quickly add a 4th faction to online play. We decided we would try something new and create a campaign expansion that delivered on exactly what many in the community asked for in our research - new UNIITS AND STORY. Uprising provides a continuation of the story line for each of the 3 factions, plus we’ve added a 4th mini-campaign which will be centered around the newest commando, Yuriko. We think you guys will really enjoy the Yuriko campaign and agree that it plays out like nothing you've seen before in a Command & Conquer game. While co-op nor multiplayer are not included with Uprising, we absolutely haven't forgotten our multiplayer audience and will have more info in the coming months ahead.


-Uprising will include a large amount of new multiplayer maps for skirmish play, which we will also make available in near future patches for the Red Alert 3 base game as well. That is pretty cool.


-Uprising will be available for digital download at first release through the EA Store this March, but please rest assured we are looking in to other distribution models which does include retail

-We have not determined the suggested retail price yet for Uprising, but part of the reason why we decided to become a digital download was so that we could pass some of the savings onto all of you out there. We realize that times are tough, so we are making sure that Uprising will be a great value and something that any Command & Conquer fan can afford. More on the exact price in the weeks to come.

I guess the Yuriko campaign will be canon for sure, since it sounds like a prequel.
Other than that I guess the Allied campaign will be canon... or maybe this time all three of them even...

This is an epic fail apoc im sorry. Nobody wants to spend twice the money for the bundle of more missions and more multi player functionality. This is just plane stupid. Im sure in your research of what we want, nowhere did it mention releasing two separate expansions. Very very stupid in my opinion to make us buy two expansions. EA should make this add on free of charge.....

Again, unfortunately EA will $ucker people into buying this. EA should take their time like other companies "Blizzard E" AND release complete bug free games and full complete expansions. Enough of this half-a$$ BS that is going on.

If they sell 2 expansions for 9.99 each and thus achieve the content of an actual vanilla game that has more content than an expansion, then we actually benefit in the sense that we get more content for less price, and the company makes profit in less time instead of having long periods of no income from a project and then having a boost, then drag, then boost. Now it will be more like a steady stream of profit for EA as they release a steady stream of content...

Thats how micro expansions are supposed to work, if, however, the content does not deliver, then this is a bad mistake and THEN you should start chewing out EA.

true id rather see traditional as well, but i guess if they do release a MP expansion it better be alot cheaper than what a traditional expansion costs. and not a big retail price like 19.99 or something... but with the way most game devs are turning for DLC type things they usually just rip people off with a system like this, and end up costing more in the long run.... the mp expansion will probably cost 29.99 or something ridiculous just because...

i just wish a game dev would ever release a game with more than 8 maps though... that would be cool as well..]]> http://forums.commandandconquer.com/jforum/posts/preList/6126/85054.page http://forums.commandandconquer.com/jforum/posts/preList/6126/85054.page GMT

There will be a multiplayer pack later on and it is possible that it will contain all these units + eventually even more units. Maybe a new faction then.....

It would be great to have 4vs4 (8 players) or even 5vs5 (10 players) support now since it's singleplayer only.

I got two options: Buy either the vanilla game or the stand-alone "booster pack".

Yep, I never brought RA3, and now check it out. I can buy what I want without spending extra money.

I remember reading an interview a few months back where David Silverman sugguested that there would be more than one expansion for RA3 so that if you only wanted multiplayer you could by a multiplayer centric expansion pack or if you just wanted campaign you'd get just the campaign expansion.

This is obviously whats going to happen:

We will get uprising a lovely Single campaign where EA finally add a story to RA3 to please everyone who realised that the RA3 plot was awfully weak in so many ways.

Some months (weeks ect) we will get a multiplayer centric add on. This will include the new unit content delivered in uprising balanced to RA3 standard allowing for everyone.

yeah im for that... but Each mini expansion should then be 9.99 if your aiming for half.. and i know EA probably will not go for 9.99..especially since the EA store says 19.99, which is the cost of the full KW expansion pack...... thats where im not real supportive of this its going to cost more for less. that and there was no word on MP units... i so want anti air infantry for japan, and with the prospective of new units and new gameplay coming out, i might as well quit RA3 for now, since by the time anything big gets announced the MP expansion should be out =/

this line convinced me that the online pack might not *** as hard as i originally assumed. this campaign pack will tide us over, and give them time to balence the MP pack and anything they want to put in it (4th faction please). don't dissapoint us EA!

[quote=EA_Apoc]Our objective with Uprising was not to quickly add a 4th faction to online play.[/quote]
Does this actually mean there WILL BE a 4th faction in a future RA3 expansion?

And finally, I'm surprised you guys are going to release this 2 months from now. I hope the quality's of this mini-expansion is good. So far, I don't fancy all the units (I only like the Desolator and the Allied stuff so far), but it's good to see you guys aren't afraid of diversifying the game's three factions. And I'm happy with the whole campaign thing.

Hopefully next expansion features the Uprising content balanced for multiplayer gameplay and adds World Domination and other modes in the online part of the game. Perhaps the last expansion could add the 4th faction. Though, personally, I'm not too fond of the idea at the moment, I'd say give the base game some time at least, if you're considering adding Yuri or who knows what other faction to RA3. I also like the idea of the campaigns being continued, as they did feel kind of short in the base game. (Let's hope the last expansion also adds more campaign/story) Anyways, this is looking sUPRISINGly (hahaha) nice, tell the guys at EALA to keep up with the great work they're doing!]]> http://forums.commandandconquer.com/jforum/posts/preList/6126/85336.page http://forums.commandandconquer.com/jforum/posts/preList/6126/85336.page GMT http://forums.commandandconquer.com/jforum/posts/preList/6126/85347.page http://forums.commandandconquer.com/jforum/posts/preList/6126/85347.page GMT http://forums.commandandconquer.com/jforum/posts/preList/6126/85354.page http://forums.commandandconquer.com/jforum/posts/preList/6126/85354.page GMT

because a full expansion pack with MP and SP only costs 19.99.....

and to answer the question that some people keep asking "what is canon?"

Answer: Canon is a term that refers to story lines that officially happened, where there could be alternate endings/ plot arcs that were told in the story but were not canon because they didnt officially happen...

Traditionally with CNC games one of the campaigns is Canon, as all the campaigns tell things differently with out actually being linked together.

For example Starcrafts 3 campaigns link together to form a whole story, thus no alternate stories are told. While CNC games tell each story from the side of each faction and the stories are generally completely independent from each other. So Character A could be a spy, While character B figures this out and kills character A in one campaign, but that never happens in a different version. And the canon version is the one thats officially used for sequels and stuff. So if Character A is not killed in the canon story. character A will be alive in the sequel.]]> http://forums.commandandconquer.com/jforum/posts/preList/6126/85383.page http://forums.commandandconquer.com/jforum/posts/preList/6126/85383.page GMT
Because it might get cheaper!


and Zhen canon is short for canonical; meaning basicly is it an official part of the story, is it an official part of the RA universe as opposed the Soviet or Empire storys in RA3 which now appear to be non canon meaning they are not the official story of the game.]]> http://forums.commandandconquer.com/jforum/posts/preList/6126/85386.page http://forums.commandandconquer.com/jforum/posts/preList/6126/85386.page GMT

Not a valid comparison. Sins has no story, no scripting.. no design, really. It's more of a simulation, or like RA3's skirmish mode. Entrenchment is a minor units and structures refresh, that's it- not even close to the scope of Uprising.

I for one am extremely grateful. When Uprising is released it will be 6 months or so of RA3 being out, and well, if people wanted MP for Uprising, this would split the community to soon, and not give EALA enough time to balance the MP properly.

I'm happy that RA3 is still the only game getting patched, and that there will be plenty of new ranked 1v1 and 2v2 maps coming to RA3 through future patches becaue of this. And hey, I'm just happy that they said 'future patches.'

Let them have this little money milk with RA3, there are over hundreds of thousands of RTS players who never ever go online, and only play skirmish and campaign, so be sure to see all these people buying it.]]> http://forums.commandandconquer.com/jforum/posts/preList/6126/85797.page http://forums.commandandconquer.com/jforum/posts/preList/6126/85797.page GMT When saying no MP what should we understand from this - only no online play or no LAN too ?

RA3 has been a huge bust.....6plus patches within the first month of shipping....DRM issues.....little or no real gameplay....spam wars...again.
Lack of multi-role units or gameplay...lack of overall strategy insight.....lack of playing towards the loyal...PC gamers who play for fun...not life and pro awards. The game was flawed in beta...you kill a key CnC character (Einstein) he will come back eventually.....This game with all due respect will go the way of CnC3, and Kanes Wrath.....no fun to play....I know a lot of CnC gamers who have now switched over to the more realistic and balanced Relic Games....than deal with the problems of Red Alert....please listen to the gamers...we don't want these things.

It is terrible...the game is now on an expansion pack....after how many months...I hope it is not a coverup to get the game back on solid ground because the Red Alert 3 bottom line is terrible...you should have listened to people before commiting too fast...you could have waited until this year for a Red Oktober sale date....but no no you didn't

If you mean his statement some weeks ago, then yes. But I cannot find any latest news on the SDK.
And to say they work on it is kinda "generic" ... I hope they do but it says nothing about the status of the SDK or a release estimate. Modding support kinda sucks and probably ever will. I'm sorry if this sounds rude but it's the sad truth. They released a god *** bugged World Builder and felt even not engaged enough to sticky a WB bug thread or to fix the most annoying bugs of version 1.0

And when I read now "oh, we are so proud to announce the boosterpack with the imaginative name 'Uprising' and hope we can prove our will to support the game this way" I begin to wonder where the heck the promised mod support is? Yes, surely they are still working on the SDK. But is it that hard to give some updates on its progress, so modders out there can plan their projects better? Maybe, it's just me, but I would never call this policy of ignorance "support"

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.[/quote]

It’s supposed to be that fast for whom?
Expert players or casual players?

Having one game speed is the same as having one difficulty level for the AI.
Can you imagine if they only had “Hard” or “Very Hard” difficulty level for RA3.
For expert players that would still be a piece of cake but for the rest of the players (95% of them) the game will be unplayable.

The same thing it true for “Game Speed”.
It may be fine for good players who play online but it is too fast for casual players.
That is the point I am trying to make.

C&C3 may be faster on full speed but it allows you to adjust the game speed as you like.
I play C&C3 on two thirds game speed and it is manageable for me.
So why can’t EA add game speed for RA3 is beyond me.

“Slow” is a relative term.
For you it may be slow just as “Hard” AI may be easy for you.

But for others it may be too fast.

The problem I am talking about is more related to fast unit kill speed.
In RA3 units die 3 or 4 times faster when compared to other known RTS games such as AOE3 or BFME2.
Game speed adjustment will slow down that speedy unit kill.

Of course I would prefer a new game option that doubles units/buildings HP in order to slow down the kill speed.
However, since that would be something completely new for the C&C serious then it makes more sense to ask for something that was omitted from RA3, and that would be the “Game Speed”.

I hope that clears it up.

Try playing on Easy first, then increase the difficulty.

click the 'system req' button.

so there will be 2 to 6 players multiplayer support? is this a mistake ?

whatever the truth is, i am 100% sure that they [b]will unlock [/b]the multiplayer option some time after release, maybe after 3 or 4 months later. they won't let it be a single player expansion forever.]]> http://forums.commandandconquer.com/jforum/posts/preList/6126/92120.page http://forums.commandandconquer.com/jforum/posts/preList/6126/92120.page GMT [quote] i dont know what kind of AOE3 you played, but was hardly slow[/quote]

I am a decent AOE3 player.
I have played hundreds AOE3 Online games.
AOE3’s speed is slower than RA3’s.
I was also referring to the speed in which units get killed.
They get killed too fast in RA3 to the point that I am not enjoying the game any more.

[quote] well, i got used to the speed, i guess you just have to adept to changing gameplay :p

I tried very hard to get used to RA3’s game speed and I played many RA3 games.
I got used to it to some point but I am not enjoying that game speed that much.
I also get frustrated with many games too often because units get killed so fast that I don’t have enough time to micro them.

I can beat Normal AI in most games but even then games can be frustrating.
So I decided to stop playing RA3 for now.
However, I would like to go back to RA3 if only I could change the game speed or increase units HP so they don’t get killed so fast.

As I already said – I can beat Normal AI.
The difficulty is not the problem.
I played many RA3 games and I just don’t enjoy the game that much because units get killed so fast before I can micro them properly.

[quote] Are you sure your units aren't dying quickly because of the hard counter system and some one-shot one-kill units?[/quote]

That is part of the problem, but overall units get killed very fast even from units that don’t counter them.
If I could only decrease the game speed by 30% (like I do in C&C3) then I will have more time to micro my units and enjoy the game better.

Do you have any idea how annoying the co-op style of RA3 is for the traditional fans of the series? I have never played a single command & conquer game online and never intend to do so.

so you know what? It's time for you guys to suffer and wait like we are now. ]]> http://forums.commandandconquer.com/jforum/posts/preList/6126/98035.page http://forums.commandandconquer.com/jforum/posts/preList/6126/98035.page GMT

JOIN THE UPRISING DISC REVOLUTION!!!]]> http://forums.commandandconquer.com/jforum/posts/preList/6126/138807.page http://forums.commandandconquer.com/jforum/posts/preList/6126/138807.page GMT
Check out this first video interview with Producer Amer Ajami
http://www.commandandconquer.com/portal/site/redalert/article/detail?contentId=c60ee55ffc7be110VgnVCM100000100d2c0aRCRD


A few clarifications so it's all in one thread. First off, I made a mistake:

-Uprising WILL HAVE TRADITIONAL SKIRMISH MODE, so you will be able to play agianst the AI with the new units that have been added to each of the 3 factions. We're also adding a huge number of new maps. While this expansion add-on has a huge central focus on single player, we were able to incorporate traditional skirmish. See below for further explanation.


And now for some more consolidation:

-The Commander's Challenge which features over 50 different scenarios is very similar to the General's Challenge Mode. It is not, and I repeat not simply an achievement based mode. This is an entirely seperate component of Uprising comprised of over 50 different challenges which are almost like mini-missions with different objectives and challenges.


-While Red Alert 3 base game is still in its infancy, its important to us to continually give the game strong support with patches, tournaments, etc as it continues to evolve. Our objective with Uprising was not to quickly add a 4th faction to online play. We decided we would try something new and create a campaign expansion that delivered on exactly what many in the community asked for in our research - new UNIITS AND STORY. Uprising provides a continuation of the story line for each of the 3 factions, plus we’ve added a 4th mini-campaign which will be centered around the newest commando, Yuriko. We think you guys will really enjoy the Yuriko campaign and agree that it plays out like nothing you've seen before in a Command & Conquer game. While co-op nor multiplayer are not included with Uprising, we absolutely haven't forgotten our multiplayer audience and will have more info in the coming months ahead.


-Uprising will include a large amount of new multiplayer maps for skirmish play, which we will also make available in near future patches for the Red Alert 3 base game as well. That is pretty cool.


-Uprising will be available for digital download at first release through the EA Store this March, but please rest assured we are looking in to other distribution models which does include retail

-We have not determined the suggested retail price yet for Uprising, but part of the reason why we decided to become a digital download was so that we could pass some of the savings onto all of you out there. We realize that times are tough, so we are making sure that Uprising will be a great value and something that any Command & Conquer fan can afford. More on the exact price in the weeks to come.

This is an epic fail apoc im sorry. Nobody wants to spend twice the money for the bundle of more missions and more multi player functionality. This is just plane stupid. Im sure in your research of what we want, nowhere did it mention releasing two separate expansions. Very very stupid in my opinion to make us buy two expansions. EA should make this add on free of charge.....

Again, unfortunately EA will $ucker people into buying this. EA should take their time like other companies "Blizzard E" AND release complete bug free games and full complete expansions. Enough of this half-a$$ BS that is going on.

I know it is not your fault APOC and you are just the messenger.[/quote]

wat do u mean it is only £15.99 not double the money of the first 1 ]]> http://forums.commandandconquer.com/jforum/posts/preList/6126/158335.page http://forums.commandandconquer.com/jforum/posts/preList/6126/158335.page GMT
