You can download the patch manaully HERE.. The manual downoad of V1.04 includes all previous patch updates, so you'll need to download an 855MB file. If you use the in-game auto updater and are already patched up to 1.03, the file will be much smaller as you'll just need to get the new patch. |

Red Alert 3 will have the largest live-action cast of any video game ever.
Here's an except from their website:The cast of Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 follows (in alphabetical order by last name): Gemma Atkinson (the UK's Hollyoaks), Tim Curry (Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Hunt for Red October), Andrew Divoff (LOST), Kelly Hu (X2, The Scorpion King), Jenny McCarthy (Scream 3, former Playboy Playmate of the Year), Ivana Milicevic (Casino Royale), Jonathan Pryce (Pirates of the Caribbean), J.K. Simmons (Spider-Man, Juno), Autumn Reeser (The OC), Peter Stormare (Prison Break, Armageddon), George Takei (Star Trek, Heroes), and two of the most recognizable names in competitive mixed martial arts Randy "The Natural" Couture (former UFC Heavyweight champion) and Gina "Conviction" Carano (Undefeated Elite XC fighter, American Gladiators).

Naginata Cruiser Unit Profile
Wed - Aug 20, 2008, 11:55 am [EST] posted by Wildfire |
|
More unit profiles from Apoc"The Empire of the Rising Sun attacked from the seas using its never-before-seen army, assembled in secret. And the Empire met with little resistance overtaking much of the waters north of the Soviet Union, in part because the element of surprise was on the Emperor's side, and in part because of Imperial naginata cruisers. The mainline ship-hunters of the Imperial navy decimated virtually all that stood in their way, opening up an opportunity for Japan's shogun battleships to lay down withering coastal bombardment to pave the way for a full-scale invasion. While the naginata's role is limited to blockading the seas, it excels in this to such an extent that it has proved itself as one of Japan's most-feared fighting elements." 
Battlefield reconnaissance has revealed at least these facts about the Naginata Cruiser:
- Torpedo assault -- The Empire of the Rising Sun's formidable torpedo boat is loaded with ammunition and built for fast, rapid-fire launches. The torpedoes have a limited guidance system and pack a tremendous wallop, making them devastating against most anything at sea.
- Spread shot -- The naginata's secret weapon is an array of concealed torpedo tubes, linked to launch all at once. The unguided warheads then fan out and collide with anything in their path. Some naginata captains now tend to save the Torpedo Type-S for use at very close range, to focus the entire spread on a single target and compensate for their inaccuracy.
- Nano-steel armor -- Naginata cruisers tend to emerge victorious in any head-on ship battles because of their fast-launching torpedoes as well as their thick, durable armor, which is highly resistant to concussive blasts of any kind.
- Specialized against ships -- Even the Empire of the Rising Sun's resources have limits, it seems, for in spite of the naginata cruiser's immense power against other ships, it is has no anti-air capability at all, and is limited to moving by sea unlike the Imperial Tsunami-class tanks.

Greg Black discusses the art of balancing and what he and his team of game balancers (commando balance squad) are doing to insure Red Alert 3 will be the best RTS game EALA has ever made. Here's a snip.Husbands, hide your wives! Mothers, hide your daughters! Refineries, hide your Ore Collectors! Greg Black is here dropping knowledge and making the ladies swoon in my first Red Alert 3 developer's blog. Before we get into the fun stuff though, let's get the requisite introductions out of the way: I'm Greg "Platinum" Black, the Lead unit & balance designer on Red Alert 3. What does that mean exactly? Well basically if you're playing the RA3 Beta right now, and you just got rushed by that OP unit, or had your army murdered by some stupid player power, I'm the guy to blame! More specifically, I am responsible for the design and tuning of most of the core game systems; all the stuff you guys are stress testing in our beta right now. Head HERE to read developer blog #2.

Imperial Warrior unit profile
Sat - Aug 16, 2008, 10:58 pm [EST] posted by Banned0bon |

For me, its been a long time since I saw a new unit profile. Well they are back i guess and this time we have the Imperial Warrior unit.
- The beam katana -- The blade of the Imperial warrior cannot remain activated indefinitely, but when it is energized, it lets the warrior inflict a lethal and quick blow upon most any enemy infantry unit on the receiving end. However, the blade is useless against armored vehicles and structures.
- Garrisons be damned -- Imperial warriors are prepared to fight to the death against foes entrenched in garrisons. They are known to rush headlong into garrisoned structures, killing any foes inside even if it means sustaining lethal injuries in the process, all to gain a strategic advantage for the Empire.

RA3 Beta Patch V1.03 Released
Sat - Aug 16, 2008, 10:11 pm [EST] posted by Lion |
|
For those of ya in the Red Alert 3 beta, a new patch is now available for downloading via your auto-updater, or you can download it manually HERE.
And the word from our community manager APOC.Please note, it will take you a while to download the patch since its likely everyone will be trying to hit the servers for a large patch. We appreciate your patience on this one. I'd reccommend downloading the patch manually on our website using the link in your respective region.
The patch weighs in at 890MB because we are bringing your version of the software completely up to date with our development branch. This patch is so large because we’ve integrated all of the changes we’ve made to the game over the past month into the beta. We considered trying to patch just balance changes and stability fixes, but isolating just those changes from all the rest of the work being done in the game would have taken much longer and interfered with the team’s efforts to get the game finished.
I agree 100% and our team agrees 100% that smaller patches are certainly more ideal and I know we will move in that direction in the future over time, but for now during our beta, we're simply trying to find the easiest way to update the software, for you guys.
Enjoy the patch and we look forward to your extensive feedback.
-APOC 890MB...WOW! I do hope no one is using a dial-up. |

IGN + Gamespy Previews
Fri - Aug 15, 2008, 8:03 pm [EST] posted by Banned0bon |

IGN and Gamespy have both added a RA3 preview.
Check out IGN's preview Here.
Not counting Yuri and his cronies, this is the first time a Red Alert game has featured three full factions and the Asian themed newcomers are a great addition to the series. The Rising Sun has a really interesting design, both in terms of the visual style and abilities. To begin, their structures begin as vehicles that can be placed anywhere they can drive. They can build their Dojo right off the bat, giving them early access to their basic infantry units, including the Tank Buster who has the amazing Spider Burrow ability that lets them dig into the ground to avoid being crushed by enemy vehicles. The Dojo also grants immediate access to the Engineer unit, which lets the Rising Sun seize neutral structures, right from the start. After a single structure upgrade, the Dojo can also produce amphibious anti-infantry ninjas who use smoke bombs to hide from their enemies.
Also, take a look at Gamespy's preview Here.
The Soviet Union is a brute-force army in contrast to the subtlety and maneuverability of its opponents. Finally getting a chance to play with the full red Army gave us a chance to appreciate the strategic elegance underneath. Unlike their opponents, any single Soviet unit is more than a match for almost any other particular unit in the other armies. Go toe-to-toe with the Soviets in a war of attrition and be prepared to wind up as goulash in the treads of a Russian tank. Their weakness is that they have to be able to see you to kill you. Both the Allies and the Empire can use superior speed and maneuverability to avoid Soviet guns, and in the Allies' case, they can use their many shutdown abilities to turn Soviet hardware into immobile targets. |
