As you already know, Electronic Arts announced about a month ago the return of Command & Conquer : Red Alert 3.After seven years the Soviets and the Allies are back…but wait ,there’s more.

The story

After years of war between the 2 uber-powers, the Soviet Union is on the brink of destruction.Fearing that everything will be lost, they decide to use an older project (the time machine) to go back and kill Albert Einstein (who is responsable for most of the technological advances made by the Allies).The mission goes awry ,creating an alternate timeline…and a new superpower : Japan or the Empire of the Rising Sun.

What’s new?

EA is introducing a new cooperative mode in single player.This means that you can play with a friend, or with an AI commander by your side.Each commander will have a different personality : one commander might favor a ground assault while another might favor an air strike.

Another thing that is going to change is the naval gameplay. Naval battles will have a greater impact on the final outcome of the game.Every faction will have their own amphibious units(units that can be used on land and sea) and "sea-only" units.If the naval battles will actually influence the outcome of a mission,we’ll just have to wait and see.

Red Alert 3 will be available on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, probably by the end of 2008.
