Publisher Electronic Arts has delivered a new batch of screenshots from EALA's alternate history RTS Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3.

Planned for both standard and limited edition retail configurations, Red Alert 3 is slated to arrive on PC and Xbox 360 this October. The PlayStation 3 version was placed on indefinite hold earlier this summer.

Why was there a need for mechs or spider-walker... things? I really preferred the older RA1-2's variations on real technology. Yes, Yuri's revenge got a bit wacky, but that's not a justification for going even farther in that direction.

  Walkers and mechs have an awesome power - the power to make you say "Oh sweet mother of mercy!" or similar exclamation when they first appear. Their rareness gives them a certain coolness. If they are all over the place, well, I don't know, they just don't feel as fun.

    I got them impression they were fairly common units given I've seen them in half of the screens released so far.

      C&C has always been about building 500 of the most powerful unit. I wouldn't expect to see a shortage of any unit type.

  Because they are the japanese, and they play off of the tech/manga angle and it works. I am playing the beta right now, and they are a tough team that fits in quite well.
