C&C Red Alert 3: Hell March Trailer


Recommended Posts

Squads? Yeah, I suppose it's just a way of making it look like more units are on screen at once, but sadly EA's implementation of it isn't all that great.

I hope they get rid of "outposts" and builder units (like generals/warcraft) completely, they're just not C&C. And ffs, remove fog of war already and stick with shroud >_<

why when it would take 5 or 6 jumpjet infantry to take one out in a few seconds?

A few seconds? Lets be realistic here, it'd take a good minute or two for those jumpjet guys to take it out. Now IFV's (especially elite ones) are another matter altogether....

I don't know what difficult... wait hold on scratch that.. a few seconds? Come on!

And yes...

A Kirov possibly the slowest moving unit in any video game ever but a few of them with a few support tanks below and I would have any base in minutes... I kid you not :p

When the Hellmarch music startet, I smiled . Looks awesome!

The original did look cartoony - but this one looks more so that what i remember. The water / crashing / explosions looks great - but did you see the roads?!!! Seriously! Bit too cartoony than I'd have hoped for really....

It doesn't look cartoony at all. Just colorfull. To few games do that now. It's getting boring. Just brown and grey.

"cartoony" games are still good. Teenagers always have a problem with games not looking adult enough. Their loss I guess.

Very very interesting look at the game, it just may have destroyed all my doubts about it, plus a rumored month of release...

Didn't the trailer say October anyway? It's been slated for October for a while now, at least (I remember that being flung around when they announced the beta test a few months back).

Either way, after reading that preview, I have to say - I'm not looking forward to it as much now. EA seems to have taken the quirkyness of RA2 and run with it. Except they've run about 200 light years too far and made it outright daft.

That's all well and good if the game is supposed to be funny, a genuine comedic joy (Portal? Sam & Max?), but it's a STRATEGY game, it's hard not to take that seriously. Even RA2, as odd as it was, felt serious enough when it needed to be (and RA1 felt EXTREMELY serious, it's the most serious out of all the C&C's) but it looks as though EA is going for all out slapstick comedy here which I really don't want to see =\

I see it the opposite way if they chose to go somewhat slapstick then they should just go all the way, I understand your worry about it not feeling serious but the whole feel of the game being about war will insure that at some point and through particular battles in the story mode it will feel serious I mean it's not like when you blow up a tank it releases sweets, you will still kill things and still face a challange that would make it feel serious...

And by the way I noticed some Generals and Zero Hour bashing?! ImEaN wAt ThE HeLl GuYs? :p

SOme of the units from that preview sound a little whacky but with the FMV, the good ol Soviet Union raging away, and the old CNC feel, defintely a game I will be getting, even if there are armoured bears being shot behind enemy lines in it :s

From what we have gathered they are just placeholder Red Alert 2 sounds...

And yeah parachuting bears is something I would not miss if it was cut before release :p

I just recently re-installed Yuri's Revenge and Generals Zero Hour even though by comparison Red Alert is much better then the Generals versions, Generals is not "poor" by no means and in my view is a very very good game in its own right!

But purely out of interest what did you think was wrong with it Kushan?

It wasn't so much that there was something WRONG with it, it's just that it was completely unlike any other C&C game ever made. Even Renegade was closer to C&C than generals was.

If you compare them side-by-side, Generals plays and acts more like Warcraft than C&C. That really bothered me because EA just used the name to get more sales (Not that I have anything against Warcraft, I actually really enjoyed Warcraft 3).

To make things worse, the influence of generals has spilled over into C&C3 - things like outposts and separate build queues (I know some people prefer it, but it's just turned the whole game into a rush fest), which ruined a lot of the appeal for me.

Maybe I'm just old fashioned, but I liked the C&C formula, I liked the way RA2 built upon and and made it a really fun game, then EA pretty much ditched it =\

Ahh then I see why you have a problem with it, in fact it is very justified if in this case it does have an influence on Red Alert 3 the reason I never saw Generals as a problem like you did is because I treated it like it was another game or story line in the C&C universe and not anything like RA 2 in fact your right they do play drastically different and I can see why you would not want Generals influence on Red Alert 3 not sure I want that either as Red Alert needs to stay true to its feel and Generals game play always feels very very rushed...

Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
