they should change the story line or make a new game which is up to date with the latest global events.

You haven't played RA2 before? The jpg compression didnt help, its quite bareable though. Also RA3 won't look like that, it'll look more like this, if anything:

I hope the storyline is less comic than 2. RA1 had a real story, at least for the Soviets. They were mean, cruel, scheming, beady-eyed, brutal. RA2 was cartoony in every way - obviously with the graphics, but the story was so exaggerated. Russians were bumbling, weak blahblahbal. I guess this reflected their loser complex, but it was a bit hollow for me. Is a decent, coherent, believable, semi-complex plot- to match the exquistite gameplay- too much to ask for!?

I hope the story has the same/greater depth as the first, is what i'm saying. Bring back Stalin, make the Allies less cutesy.
I love them all as my children though.

A continental Soviet saga is our destiny

empire of the rising sun isnt that hectic, they have like strange units based of bugs and shit so its basically a joke.

The allies have a destroyer which has a secondary ability, it produces this shield over a large area that absorbs all damage into the destroyer [and those things have massive hp] so basically one or two destroyers and a shitload of high damage/low hp ships decimates everything....kinda needs a balance tweak.

ive played with the rising sun a bit more and they are alot of fun, their mechs can convert into other stuff e.g a tank into a helicopter. This beta is buggy as shit though, i cant seem to get any replays to work, and the screenshot function isnt working either, so i am still having to print screen then paste into paint to save it :(

Gameplay wise though the game is very solid, looks to be a heap of fun, and a bar a few balancing issues and assuming the single player has a good story [the beta has no single player] then this would be well worth buying.
