While the dust is yet to settle on Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, developers EA aren't resting on their laurels just yet, announcing the first standalone expansion for the title, Command & Conquer Red Alert 3: Uprising will be available via digital download, exclusively for the PC in March of this year.

The expansion brings an "epic" new single-player campaign, throwing gamers further into the Red Alert universe with more action-packed gameplay, plus a gauntlet of "new and compelling challenges", which come with the new Commander's Challenge mode.

Looks good, but I wonder how many times can I reinstall this one if I need to?

As long as they get rid of those stupid "time limit" type missions then I'm happy.

Tell me about it... I like to take my time playing the game, not rush through a mission in 25mins to kill Tim Curry. :evil:

I remember the last GDI mission in the first C&C took me hours and I loved every minute of it. If I wanted to play how everyone else plays online, I would play online, but missions should be about learning all the different tricks and quirks of the game and taking your time.

I agree. That is one of the main reasons I don't play online, I like to make my games epic.

That was a prick of a mission but made you learn about build queues quite fast! On the other hand I loved the timed mission where you had to kill the USA president. Finally found a use for the cyrocopter

Cannot wait for this. Loved RA3!

yea, altho it feels kidna bland at first, RA3 is really well made game!
dunno if ill have the dosh for this when it comes around tho

Hopefully the digital distribution channel/s they are going to use includes Steam. It is likely since they now have RA3 on Steam.

I am guessing it will be a stand alone game? Otherwise I don't want to purchase RA3 on Steam as well as Uprising...

Probably just means they'll punch out some amateurish mission packs without any of the cutscenes keeping the supporting cast from the first game

Bicketybam · **Posted:** 11 Jan 09, 10:15 pm

More like they had already created it when they released RA3 and just held on to it till now.

Exactly. Just like all the movies that do the same thing (eg. Lord of the Rings trilogy, Matrix Reloaded/Revolutions). If you've played C&C: Zero Hour, there were "Challenges" on that for single player too. If RA3 goes along the same line, it will probably end up being a "tweaked" skirmish game against the PC, not like a proper mission... but that's just a thought.
