Even though I think EA have ruined the Command and Conquer games I still wouldn’t mind trying this, it looks the best game in the C&C universe since Red Alert 2.
If anyone has a beta key they don’t want let me know![]()
The open beta to Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 is now live. Red Alert 3 is the next highly anticipated installment in the popular real-time strategy franchise and forces players to take control of the Allies, Soviets, or the new Empire of the Rising Sun. In addition, players will have control over all units including bears, dolphins, kirovs, mirage tanks, and transforming machines.
Even though there have been many Command & Conquer games over the years, the last Red Alert came out nearly eight years ago in 2000, but if you're a Red Alert fan you won't have to wait much as the next installment of Red Alert will ship this October.
An EA rep contacted us earlier this morning, informing us that the BETA is now 500,000 users strong.
To be queued up for a test drive of the game before it launches, purchase a copy of expansion pack Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath. Included in Kane's Wrath is a beta key for Red Alert 3, which you can register here.
For those not in the beta, you can download and take part in the effort to bypass its security and play it by clicking below:

I got Kane's Wrath when it came out and used the key as well, so I should get an e-mail from EA sometime soon. I never really played Red Alert 2 actually. I never had it untill a year ago when I got The First Decade. Still I didn't really play it and was more obsessed with the first C&C and RA1 (for which I still need to finish the Soviet campaign). I should get around to playing that before I get into the beta..
Just thought I'd rub it in and say my beta invite came this morning and the client is now downloading. Pictures to follow later![]()

Heh, I was thinking of reviewing it. Hopefully EA will send my invite soon. I'm not sure in which order they are sending the invites, but if they do it by when you signed up, I should get it soon since I got Kane's Wrath pretty close to release.
Well I got my key this morning and played a match. Of course I made screenshots of it.They're all in 1680x1050. I played as the Allied, I'll play as the other two factions later and post screenshots of that. I'll see if I can make a video as well. Too bad I lost the match.. Took me some time to figure out I had to upgrade by clicking the I icon in the building tab to make more buildings and vehicles (You can see the II icon in one of the screenshots, after I upgraded once). Enjoy!
