    With this and Supreme commander coming out sometime in the near future, it looks like a good period for RTS gamers

    Can't wait for this game, hope it lives up to its C&C name.

    The scale is way off. The men are as tall as the tanks, and 1/5th as the pylons.

    It's always been like that

    But then again, those soldiers are in huge battle armour suit things so that makes the scale a little better.

    Looks? RTS games are never about looks. The better the graphics the poorer the game will play.

    I have incredibly low expectations for this, expecially after the abysmal C&C:Generals EA spat out. Supreme commander will be superior to this (though still not as good as StarCraft ) and I'm wondering why people are getting excited by some awkward angle screenshots.

    I'd love for EA not to let us down but I know better than to get my hopes up.

    Generals? It was so-so. The previous games (except for the original - I never played it) were much better.

    I liked generals also. although the lack of ships pissed me off. I actually think this game will be awesome. those men are big BECAUSE they are CYBER men lol like in tiberian sun.

    Red alert is the best game they ever done tbh. Im hoping this game will be as good and then a red alert 3 released on 2009"

    EA (the developers of C&C3) never made red alert. The only C&C game they made wasn't even a real C&C game. I expect the future "C&Cs" to be of similar quality.

    No, the vast majority of them left when EA bought out westwood. If I met any of those that left I'd shake their hand.
