The sniper has an excellent range, allowing him to easily take out enemy infantry from distance in a single shot. However the tank destroyer is absolutely useless against infantry and structures. An elite tank destroyer can take out most vehicles in one shot.

The Tank Destroyer is designed exclusively to inflict huge damage on enemy armour, and although the tank is very similar in terms of speed and strength to the Grizzly, it can inflict huge damage. However they have slow reload times and are aiming takes some time. These huge defensive instalments can obliterate an attack force before they even get near to your Prism Towers! Constructing a number of these will allow you to re-create the Maginot Line. The Grand Cannon is, as the name suggests, a large defensive cannon. If the transport plane is shot down by enemy AA fire then all of your paratroopers are lost. But anyone expecting new gameplay features will be disappointed.When the Americans build an AFC, they gain the ability to paradrop 5 GIs anywhere on the battlefield every few minutes.

But Red Alert 3 really isn't that different from Command & Conquer 3, or Red Alert 2 for that matter. Sure, the vehicles and units have been shaken up a bit (including the bizarre War Bear addition for the Soviets), and Japan has been added to the roster of competitive powers. what Red Alert 3 is really missing is something new. The sound, video and acting are all of superior quality, making the game feel like a really well-rounded product.Īt the end of the day, though. We thought we detected slightly higher CPU and GPU load in this title over Command & Conquer 3 but this caused nothing more than minor glitching with the maximum settings applied.


The movie also introduces Red Alert 3's main addition: the Empire of the Rising Sun, a new playable power bent on world domination.Ĭommand & Conquer: Red Alert 3 makes use of the new graphics and 3D effects that were unveiled in last year's Tiberium Wars title, meaning that C&C fans will already be completely familiar with the game's controls and appearance. As in previous editions of Red Alert, this latest version pits the Soviet Union against the Allies and manages to pack time travel, nuclear weapons and a hilariously high-camp series of performances into its 7-minute introductory movie.
