Want to play the Red Alert 3 beta?
killsmooth | 10:38 AM on 07.30.2008 3 comments


Then you are going to have to buy the most recent installment of the Command and Conquer 3 series: Kane's Wrath. The process seems pretty straightforward - buy the game, look for an insert, follow the directions, and WHAM you are in the beta queue. Depending on your location and position in the queue, the download will be made available to you at some point after it goes live in priority order.
:
Check it out for yourself: "Within every purchase that contains the Red Alert 3 Beta Key Sticker is a key that guarantees you access to the Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 Beta program if you register before September 15, 2008." Every single copy of the game in North America will have a beta key insert, and if you are unsure of your country's participation, make sure to inspect the packaging for an obvious RA3 callout. If it is on the packaging, then it will have the insert.

I haven't played any C&C since Generals, but I am itching to get my hands on this game. So far, the only way to gain access to the beta queue is by purchasing another fully-priced game; I have waited this long, I can wait until it is released.

If it comes out on PS3... I'm sure Sony users will suck up copies FAST! There are no real RTS' for PS3. & this already looks like a AAA genre defining title. ( Tips hat to EA! )

With news like this http://kotaku.com/5030788/ps3-now-eas-single-biggest-bread+winner

With a game like this http://www.gametrailers.com/player/37691.html

Only good things can happen, NO?

This new trend that you have to buy a game in order to be in the beta for an upcoming title is total bullshit.

 about me



Hey, my name is Jeremy, I'm 23 and I've been into gaming for just about as long as I can remember. I got started on the path a little late: the first system I actually owned was an N64, the first Final Fantasy I ever played was VII (on the PC no less), and I only recently purchased myself an Xbox 360. Of course, I have done my best to RETRO-actively play every game that was ever considered to be any good by anyone. My infatuation with video games borders on dependency.

As I have grown up, however, despite my increasing appreciation for the art and business of the video game industry, my time available time and/or motivation for actually playing them has drastically decreased. I recently graduated from Florida State University with a degree in creative writing and now attend the FSU College of Law as a first-year student



As for my taste in games, I am unashamed to admit that Final Fantasy VII WAS the game that started it all for me. It made me laugh, cry, love, and hate and truly opened my eyes to what a game could do. I was immediately and indelibly hooked. Since then I have amassed nearly every Final Fantasy incarnation and played the shit out of them all (and despite anything you people write, I still think VII was better than VI - all because I played it first), and secured myself a place on the ever-bumpy Square bandwagon. I like NIS and Atlus games too; I've beaten Uber Prinny Baal on Disgaea 1 and 2. RPGS and SRPGS and JRPGS are my lifeblood, and more often than not you can find me hitting the ol' grind for a few extra levels. I also consider myself a connessiuer of fine movies, and have been known to enjoy a nice graphic novel from time to time.

Also, drinking.
