After having that annoying time sync issue with the original game during multiplayer (single player worked fine), I am not gonna waste my money on it.  Still wish I knew what was causing that.

This game has been out for a while now.  We have played it at a number of the LANs already.  Pretty weak for a self confessed RTS-ophile.

Wrong!!  That was Tiberian Wars/Kanes Wrath.  Red Alert is released today.  On behalf of See-zar, I see your burn and raise you one.

Well seeing as I am not a huge RTS fan, you can understand my mistake as they are both C&C3.  Pretty stupid to make 2 different games with the same sequel number.

Did you expect anything less?  EA is involved.

i got it!  not the collectors, but the regular.  True to EA fashion, a update is already required.

Initial thoughts of this game.  Aggravating!  Maybe I am missing the check and balance of units, but this game seems more a PITA than it should.  Hopefully my feelings change.

What do you gys think of it so far?

I really dig it but the AI is -HARD-. I fired up a skirmish with an easy enemy to just test stuff out and he kicked my ass. .hard. In generals, the easy AI would send baddies at ya every so often. This easy was relentless. I had to get an AI teammate to give me screw around time.

lol

But I would be trying it but the key on the back of the manual is misprinted so I can't install the damn game. Don't know whether to buy another one today or just wait till the lan comes around. And that is about 2 weeks away.

EA knows about the problem and is addressing it.  I got the collector's edition (since I'm a C&C nerd... I also tend to be a sucker for the shiny packaging); so far I think the game is pretty cool, it just has a steeper learning curve than Tiberium Wars since there is naval units too now.  Instead of just anti-infantry, anti-vehicle, and anti-air, you now have to worry about anti-sea as well.  Units seem to be less specialized too; more multirole units as it stresses using unit secondary abilities.  On top of that, each faction operates very differently, much more varied than the factions in TW.  I have to relearn a lot, like build order, well balanced assault forces, and which units tend to be more useful.
