Talk:Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3

Template:SGames

Let's make a great Red Alert 3 article!!

As some of the well-known game magazines are going to be featuring Red Alert 3 as their main article along with proofs of screenshots and feature introductions, it seems pretty clear that there will be official announcement of Red Alert 3. Let's make it a great article! Stevefis (talk) 02:33, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

There isn't enough information to justify an own article yet, per WP:N. However, it will be soon. --MrStalker ^(talk) 07:07, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

The press release should be enough. xenocidic (talk) 16:34, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Yup, as I said, soon. --MrStalker ^(talk) 19:02, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

I think we hacked it together pretty well. I'm looking forward to working more on this and other C&C articles with you. xenocidic (talk) 19:08, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Likewise. --MrStalker ^(talk) 15:58, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

We've got a start from scratch here, it's just been announced so this is the fastest we could possibly get this article together. I say that by the time of release we should pretty much have it at Good Article or better, and within a few weeks of release we can get it to FA status (before then will be a problem due to the speculative nature of it). Let's be sure we get every scrap of encyclopaedic information on this, as well as ensuring that all the usual standard are adhered to at all times right from the get go. Right first time, every time. Peace through power everyone! Caissa's DeathAngel (talk) 21:54, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

We'll do our best. --MrStalker ^(talk) 15:58, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Cleaning up the talk page?

I deleted some parts of this talk page that were confirmed, hope thats okay with everyone. But feel free to restore them if needed.

beta = multiplayer ?

call me stupid, but where does it say that in either of those references? p.s. sorry about fixing those [[dolphin]]s and [[tank]]s, i didn't realize it automagically fixed those - i was just looking at the wikitext. xenocidic (talk) 13:27, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

"By ordering Command & Conquer 3: Kane’s Wrath and registering with the Beta Key before September 15th, 2008, you are guaranteed a chance to play the multiplayer Beta before Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 releases." There you go. --MrStalker ^(talk) 15:13, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

ahhh now I see it. it was below the fold. cheers mate. edit: actually, It wasn't below the fold. I'm just blind. =) xenocidic (talk) 15:17, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Hehe. No problem. --MrStalker ^(talk) 15:59, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Frank Klepacki

Frank Klepacki - Exclusive Interview --Ilhanli (talk) 11:58, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

• I don't have time to do it myself, but if someone wants to add this to the article as a reference to the fan desire for the soundtrack to be done by Klepacki that would be great - I think the desire for his involvement, given his past work on the series, warrants a mention now that we have a good quality reference. Anyone agree?Caissa's DeathAngel (talk) 01:23, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
• Ok I've gone and added this. Not the most reliable of sources, but there's no denying the fans want Klepacki so until a better one turns up this will do.Caissa's DeathAngel (talk) 11:32, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

"Then in the recent RA3 Community Summit in June 2008, Frank Klepacki showed a video to the entire C&C community that he has been finally confirmed to be involved in the RA3 soundtrack." Wait Is this true!? Please tell me and if you can give me the link for that video I'd be very grateful!!! Because if it is true I will be SOOO HAPPY! —Preceding unsigned comment added by VEGETA DTX (talk • contribs) 13:32, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

We do not have a source for that, so I tagged it . I guess you will have good chances, if it is true, to find it by asking at the EA forums rather than here. --So#Why 13:44, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

New Units?

Should we add in the units that have been leaked so far?--64.79.177.254 (talk) 19:38, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Not without reliable sources. --MrStalker ^(talk) 12:35, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

There are units that we know for a fact that are in the game though, ie: the peacekeeper, apoc tank, kirov etc.JackorKnave (talk) 20:10, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

PC Zone April 08 - lots of new info

Any assistance in adding some of the new information contained in this magazine would be great - we have confirmation about several new and returning units, secondary ability details, etc.Caissa's DeathAngel (talk) 11:18, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Unwarranted Edits

For future reference, could we please not have fanboy edits who are concerned that "Ohh why did you list PlayStation 3 last, I think it's a conspiracy." That doesn't warrant an entry edit, and you know all too well it's sparking a fire. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wrel (talk • contribs) 15:50, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

eh, yea, that particular editor is on a PS3fanboy rampage. imo it should be based on the order that the press release states, in this case it was PC, X360, PS3. xenocidic (talk) 15:54, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Xeno and Wrel, please don't make unfounded person attacks. It's common knowledge P is before X in the alphabet, which is why I changed it. Hope that clears this up. Also, there are no limitations on what constitutes and edit, Wrel. Thanks! Fin©™ 16:16, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

I consider your edits unconstrutive and have reverted them. Consensus seem to support my opinion. Please to not revert this again without proving change in consensus or it will be considered vandalism. Thank you. --MrStalker ^(talk) 18:20, 19 March 2008 (UTC)el]] (talk) 20:21, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

System Requirements?

Where did these new system requirements come from? Any sources? 122.107.221.248 (talk) 04:11, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

I have removed it, No sources is give neither did EA announce say thing regarding sys reqs. --SkyWalker (talk) 05:25, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Any PS3?

In the just released 14 min walktrough of RA3, the speaker said that the game will ship this holiday on PC and Xbox 360. Does that mean the PS3 version is delayed or non-existent? (Psykocyber (talk) 15:41, 29 May 2008 (UTC))

Anything about the PS3 based on that would be assumption, so right now all that could be gleaned from it is that the PC and 360 versions are set for a holiday release, nothing more. FusionMix 15:50, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

demo

should thier be a section about the upcomming demo, i think in thier new video they said demo i just remember —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamesb91 (talk • contribs) 16:36, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

• A demo wouldn't normally warrant its own section, though there may be justification in mentioning it if there's a source. Possibly not however, this is just meant to be an encyclopedic article about the game.Caissa's DeathAngel (talk) 12:51, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello

I've seen some very nice things up here, but the page is not very up to date as of now. I'd like to help on working on this page, if you guys don't mind. A very good source is http://www.gamereplays.org/redalert3/portals.php?show=page&name=game_info. Regards, sebra30

Sebra30 (talk) 12:21, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

• Hi there! Your assistance would be very much appreciated, yes some of the information here is a bit out of date and could do with being updated. Just remember to always include reliable sources whenever you add something and to avoid speculation. Also, summarising your edits in the edit summary box is good practice as well, it lets other editors see very quickly what you have changed - even if it is or appears to be insigificant. Looking forward to seeing your additions to the article! I definitely stick by wanting to get this up to FA ASAP after release, but we're a long way away from that goal! Caissa's DeathAngel (talk) 11:15, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

• I will start writing some things up then. They might need revision though as my English isn't that good. Did you check out my link? I think it can be used as valid information? Sebra30 (talk) 18:04, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Copy editing can be done, that isn't a problem, and feel free to post things that you are considering adding on here or on my talk page first if you want to check it beforehand. That website doesn't seem to have a lot that isn't elsewhere, and beware of the speculation section. Nothing from it should be added until it is confirmed.Caissa's DeathAngel (talk) 20:31, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Casting

I've filled in the bit on the first confirmed character in the game, Natasha Volkova, and added a non-included note that only sourced, non-speculative hirings should be included. I intend to be zero tolerance on this. We do have two reliable sources on this, and all information is taken directly from those and I do feel it is relatively encyclopedic all things considered, but nevertheless I suspect what I have just written will require a copy edit, so please feel free to modify as required.Caissa's DeathAngel (talk) 14:38, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Reference mistake - assistance please

The article which refences the Japanese Commando Yuriko I've also used to reference the use of dual abilities in the gameplay section. For some reason though when I tried to use short hand it screwed up the rest of the reference list, so it appears twice just now (at present as references 8 and 13. If somebody could take a look at the syntax and fix it so that it only appears once in the reference list I'd be very grateful. Thanks. Caissa's DeathAngel (talk) 16:34, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Lighthearted?!

"The factions in the game have been confirmed by executive producer Chris Corry to emphasize Red Alert's traditional "light-hearted, colourful" feel..."

Granted RA2 and Yuri's revenge kicked up the cheese factor in a massive way, but the first game was quite a serious sci-fi outing (and also quite drab in it's colour palatte). How it's the cheese factor traditional?? I just thought this was a bit of an erronious comment from Chris Corry and seems to indicate his lack of understanding of the series (in the time before EA bought out Westwood and then shut them down, like they do with most competition. :p ) (192.43.227.18 (talk) 00:26, 22 July 2008 (UTC))

Yes. I was looking at the screenies on gamespot, and the one where the japanese are dropping bombs, the words on the balloons say "flying death" XD —Preceding unsigned comment added by Duct tape tricorn (talk • contribs) 04:12, 22 July 2008 (UTC) Duct tape tricorn (talk) 04:14, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a forum. --MrStalker ^(talk) 16:48, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Well, if you looked at a video game as a piece of art, then this change in mood is a notable aspect of the game and should be included... we're just waiting for a "reliable source" to notice and announce it. Duct tape tricorn (talk) 00:01, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
