Red Alert 3 beta to be included with Command & Conquer 3: Limited Collection photo

Not again! While it's been some time since the "Halo 3 beta comes with Crackdown" incident occurred, the never-ending onslaught of game betas used primarily as a means of fetching higher sales has kept the subject fresh on our minds.

This time around, it's Command & Conquer 3: Limited Collection, which includes Tiberium Wars, the Kane's Wrath expansion pack, and access to the Red Alert 3 beta. Should you be interested and have $49.99 to your name, you'll be able to purchase it starting March 24.

If you happen to own Tiberium Wars already, don't sweat it -- you can also play Red Alert 3 as soon as humanly possible by buying Kane's Wrath individually when it's released alongside the Limited Collection.

I was in the same situation as Turtule Soup, so I'll be getting the collection.

God, come to think of it. I've only played one RTS my entire life.
It was a Warhammer 40k game. Back when Frozen throne was being released.
Oh well.

That's cool, I'd love some Red ALert and Tiberium Wars on my 360.

ZOE - MGS2, etc.

That was little more than a demo though. And not in any way representative of the rest of the game.

EA killed C&C when they killed Westwood. This is just the turbine hooked up to the grave to power development as they spin into the afterlife.

Ill pass, RA is awesome, but not $50 awesome just to look at it early. If a PC single player beta is distributed Im sure someone will hack and redistribute it on the tubes.

HOLD ON! I thought there was a story saying that Kane's Wrath came out on Valentine's Day! Wasn't there a story on it?

Why are they using the same artwork as the Smashing Pumpkins did for their latest album? It just feels like they ripped it off and were to cheap to just make another one.

That Statue Of Liberty artwork is exactly the same as the one on the Smashing Pumpkins' newest album, Zeitgeist. See: http://www.melodic.net/img6/Smashing_Pumpkins_The_Zeitgeist.jpg

I do hope RA3 will be a loooot better than RA2. Damn that game was the RTS letdown of the century :(

No more 5-prism tanks-and-win stuff please!

Yeah! that's pretty cool! I might get that, didnt get me the Tiberium Wars one by lack of decent PC, but that's been solved in the mean time :-)

@Professor Pew: RA2 was the RTS Letdown of the century? It's a timeless classic, the gameplay was awesome, and probably the only RTS I've played where the units were memorable because of their speech when you order them around, I can't remember jack of Warcraft 3 units other than the basics, but I remember RA2's.
