First of all, the new trailer is out now. It's pretty frakkin' sweet, if I do say so myself.

In addition, Gamespot has posted their first impressions of the game. I won't give everything away here, but one thing mentioned in the article that I particularly welcome is that the gamespeed is going to be slowed down a bit (so as to allow players time to research their top units and superweapons).

Also: Soviets have a mobile cannon that can shoot armored, parachuting bears onto enemy bases. Talk about awesomely campy.

Red Alert has always been a great series, and now witrh number 3 on the way it is only going to get better.

A question to all who do play Red Alert, do you like the the standard Red Alert or the expansions better?

Expansions being Yuri's revenge, Kane's Wrath and many others.

Counterstrike and The Aftermath are both nice expansions, with them Red Alert is complete masterpiece. I prefer Red Alert universe over Red Alert 2 universe and Tiberium universe. Still play Red Alert, ants are taking over the world!

One of the nicest things about the C&C strategy games is that all of them are good enough, and there are no poor editions in the franchise. That goes for Generals and I would include Emperor: Battle for Dune in there too.

One of the things that sticks in my mind at the intro to RA 2, you here that guy shouting some words then the mammoth tank goes boom and the music kicks in, amazing!

Can't wait for a new RA hopefully my pc will be able to handle it
