    Me, although to be honest I'm not sure why I bothered when I'm only interested in the single player aspect and skirmishes. Having experienced one to many rushes I find it really off putting - if someone's up for a turtling style game just to see what it's like then I'll be up for it

    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    Re: Red Alert 3 Beta. who else has been invited?

    Just played first match so thought I share my first impressions...

    It didn't look quite how I imagined after seeing the screen shots. Almost a little too colourful for my liking - could barely make out some of the units at the default zoom. Completely different to how you'd play a Tiberium game and not as I remember playing Red Alert 2 either. Definately requires micromanagement. Other stuff I'll put down to it being a beta version and as I'm not sure how much discussion is allowed I'll leave it there.

    If anyone fancies a practice run, let me know
