well, putting aside the question of should for a moment, i'd like to ask will - will they make red alert 3? the answer is, barring a giant zombie chicken that eats most of america, a resounding yes... probably... maybe...
as for should,mmmmmmmmaybe - red alert 2 is the one c&c game i actually like, and besides some ginormous balance issues with yuri, i don't really see how the game could be improved upon - and i sure as hell don't see a need to spend £25 on red alert 2 running in the c&c3 engine (which, unless i'm mistaken, is just the bmfe2 engine which is the bfme engine which is a modified generals engine, which is damn old and hardly an improvement over ra2's lovliness anyway) with about three extra units... and a secondary firing mode...
there is a huge demographic for don't give us better, just give us more, and i'm sure they will all want red alert 3 - and that's fair enough, because if anything, ea's c&c studio at least understands what makes the c&c games tick, and can keep putting out the goods... but the fact is, the next c&c will still be just a slightly different version of the previous c&c- it will be behind the curve on the ever improving standards for the genre in just about all ways
except one - pure fun... but let's be honest, how many people play rts games for fun these days? dps charts, high end micro requirements and minute balanceare way more important -whatever- i say bring it on, we're gonna get command and conquer 2008 (featuring tiger woods) anyway, may as well make it a red alert game
