Command & Conquer. The story of the series.

Command & Conquer I was in the far in 1995 (on August 31 the game is 18 years old) and was a representative of the new game genre of real time strategies (RTS), laying a lot of fundamental elements of the genre. The term RTS was invented by the developers of C& C Westwood Studios in relation to its previous game, which also had a strong influence on the genre, Dune 2. Unlike step -by -step “chess” strategies (TBS), where opponents went alternately, in the dune, opponents acted at the same time, which added more dynamics by the gaming process. Let’s get back to C & C. According to the plot of the game, in the early 90s, a meteorite falls on the Earth in the area of ​​the Tiber River (in Italy), which becomes a source of the spread of an extraterrestrial substance, called “Tiberius”. Studies reveal that an alien mineral has a very strong energy potential and is of great value for the economy of the world. However, it soon turns out that Tiberius also causes mutations and destroys the biosphate. In 1995, due to the struggle for control over the collection of Tiberia, the war between the two opposing parties began: the UN forces supported by the alliance of developed countries-the Global Security Council (English. Global Defense Initiative – GDI), and an ancient religious sect and a terrorist organization calling itself the Brotherhood of NOD. The Brotherhouse of Nod) under the leadership of the mysterious leader Kane, who believes that Tiberius should become the basis of the new appearance of the earth. There were two campaigns in the game – for GDI and NOD, respectively, but the developers were recognized as canonical for GDI (in principle, it is clear that Bobro should win Oslo, but still).The theater of military operations in which the game is held for GDI includes European countries, such as Belarus, Estonia, Latvia, Germany, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovin. In some cases, it is proposed to choose one of several possible missions. The action of the campaign for the fraternity takes place in Africa, ending in South Africa. So what the game has invested in the genre?
-The technical part of different sides is different in essence, and not just by name and appearance (as in Warcraft 1-2). (Dune 2 also had differences, but much less.)
-The division of units into classes according to the principle of “Stone-Little Demog”: if in Dune 2 heavy soldiers differed from the lungs in the same thing as a soldier from the tank-vitality and damage-then in C & c every unit is fighting differently. For example, a soldier with a grenade launcher is well on the tank, but is useless against the infantry.
-Convenient interface. By modern standards, something is missing, but after Dune 2 and Warcraft there was great progress:
-The main orders are given by only one click of the mouse (for the first time on PC).
-It is possible to distinguish a frame and send a whole army to the attack, any size (in the first Warcraft, the frame captured only 4 units, and in the second as many as nine).
-Quick selection of detachments with digital buttons. You can create groups of soldiers and easily navigate them.
-Side panel. All construction teams are collected on it, so do not look for “where I have these plants” in order to urgently glue a few more tanks.
-Infantry units can fit several pieces on one cage.
-On the battlefield, there are various additions of the landscape in the form of houses, cars, civilians. And much can be broken, killed, spoiled (only pigs and sheep in Warcraft 2 could be found from this).
-Video stations and video blows. Make the game more atmospheric, adding epic, pathos, and sometimes lulz.
– Economic component: a simplified system in which each unit costs a nucle.e. and appears on the map for a few (usually) seconds. Such an ecomic system began to be used in almost all RTS, but in the “realism” of RTS, who do not want to bother with a complex economy, a simple excuse that existed in C&C (when playing for nod) is used: instead of training or construction directly on the battlefield, pre -rebuilt units are supplied there by order. I also want to note excellent music in the authorship game Frank Klepaki. In principle, this is all I wanted to say about the first part of the game.

C & C: The CoverT Operations – Addition to the game released in 1996. The addition contains 15 new single missions that are not a campaign and in which you can play in any order (plus 5 hidden missions known as FunPark, in which dinosaurs participate). Also, in addition, 10 multiplayer cards and new music are included). There are also additional videos to some mission (FunPark Campaign).The game was reprinted specifically for Windows 95 called “Command & Conquer Gold” (better known as “C & C95”) along with the soundtrack from Frenk Clepaki. The “The CoverT Operations” addition is a set of files compatible both from the version for DOS and with Windows 95.

In 1998, Westwood Studios was bought by EA, which led to the mass dismissal of disagreements with the new policy of the new leadership, but this did not affect the series of games and a year later the original C & C was released after a year Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun, The agender about the continuation of the sorry of the GDI and NOD.As in most other games of the Command & Conquer series, the player seems to be the opportunity to go through two campaigns for both sides of the conflict. The ends of the campaigns are different, but the canonical campaign is considered to be GDI. The plot of the game is spinning around the alien artifact “Tacitus” (sometimes called “Tacitus”), which both sides want to possess. Kane, who was considered dead, returns – and he has a plan to turn the earth into a new, best world – the world of Tiberius, subordinate to his will;GDI, by all means, seeks to prevent this. Along the way, both blocks want to persuade the third party to the Union – the community of mutants are “forgotten”. Mutants affected by GDI (with general evacuation of the population at the pole, where Tiberius infection was not so much, they were left on the ground infected by Tiberia), and from NOD, they would like to preserve neutrality, but as a result of the player’s actions they help one of the parties. In the campaign for GDI, GDI troops discovered and captured a huge alien ship of unknown origin, which was studied by the fraternity of NOD. In the game, the ship was identified as a “ship of screenshots”. Soon after, the NOD troops tried to destroy the ship. As a result, the ship still turned out to be a mined trap for gdi. Kane and General Vega claimed that the ship was created by people based on alien design. There is also a device of unearthly origin called Tacitus, an information carrier in the form of a crystal ball containing a huge amount of information about Tiberia and a warning about the upcoming invasion of screenshots. Many Kane’s experiments with Tiberia are based on knowledge of Tacitus.

In addition “Firestorm“, GDI sees Tacitus as the last chance of mankind to stop the spread of Tiberius throughout the globe, as this will lead to the destruction of the entire carbon life.Cabal, AI of the Brotherhood of NOD, apparently able to decipher part of the information in Tacitus. The final video of the GDI campaign in Firestorm shows that if you reunite two parts of this ball, they merge into a whole ball and allow you to get free access to information.This information indicates that Tacitus may not be an artifact of screenshots, but a completely different race, possibly hostile to screens.

Command & Conquer: Renegade – The game released in 2002 was the first and last shooter of the series. In the campaign, the player must perform 12 missions, and can also pass one educational. During each mission, the player receives primary tasks, without which the mission cannot be completed, and secondary tasks that facilitate the passage of the mission, but are not mandatory. Also in almost all missions there are bonus tertiary tasks – they are displayed in the list of tasks only after their implementation. After each mission, a window of results appears – the number of killed enemies, the level of complexity, the number of tasks completed, the frequency of downloads and the mission time is indicated in it. The player receives an assessment of passage in the last three parameters, from ordinary (worst) to the general (best).Sometimes the main character acts together with the rest of the GDI forces – infantry, armored vehicles, fleet and aviation. They help the player as much as possible, but are usually busy with their task and after its implementation do not follow him, guarding the broken territory.The game presents a large number of opponents – from the ordinary infantrymen of the Brotherhood NOD and the soldiers of the “black hand” to armored vehicles and bosses. They differ in armament, armor and special abilities – for example, invisibility or immunity to Tiberius, which forces the player to choose weapons in accordance with the situation.

The game takes place during the First Tiberia War. At the beginning of the game, the GDI detachment, looking for a NOD base hidden in the mountains, is ambushed. The main character, experienced special forces captain Nika Parker, is sent to the rescue. After a short battle, GDI forces suppress all resistance, find the base and destroy it in one gulp of the orbital ion gun. Among the ruins of the base, intelligence finds a large amount of useful information.After the battle, Parker gets on the headquarters ship GDI. General Locke tells him about the “Educational Center” located on the coast of Mexico. In these centers, GCD uses the torture and washing of the brain to make new members of the “black hand” from civilians, devoted to the fraternity. Since the first attack failed, the general gives the order to wait until the next. Parker, who knows about the inhuman methods of the brotherhood, does not want to wait, leaving civilians to the enemy, and stiffs the landing bot. General Locke is furious and threatens to shoot the captain, but still sends all his forces to attack. Having broken the brotherhood, GDI troops liberate prisoners. For disobedience, Parker’s orders are arrested by the military police.After the guardhouse, the captain receives a new task: to rescue three scientists abducted by the brotherhood – Dr. Moobius, his daughter Sydney and colleague Dr. Petrov. On the basis of the GCD, they do not turn out – General Ravnshow flies away with the scientists by plane, leaving Mendoza and Sakura in place of his assistants. Mendoza, wounded in a battle with Parker, runs away, and the captain makes his way to one of the aircraft of the NOD. Sakura is already waiting on board the aircraft. After a short hand -to -hand, Parker throws it out of the plane and flies away. The recovered Sakura rushes after the helicopter, knocking down the plane over the busy NOD island.The island will already storm the GDI forces, since in the communication center of the local base of NODs there is information about the direction of the flight of the aircraft with the scientists. Having received the data and destroying the base, Parker knocks down the Sakura helicopter, at the end of the battle personally flew in order to kill him. The collision of a helicopter with a volcano provokes its awakening, and Parker runs away from the island on board the small submarine of the NOD. The boat arrives at the cruiser. After interrupting a significant part of the crew, destroying the most important systems on the ship and freeing three prisoners of GDI soldiers, Parker floats off the drowning ship in the same boat.Soon he is sent to the rescue of the “dead six”. Having cleaned the city and gathering a detachment in the old cathedral, he goes to the nearest Black Hand base, where scientists should be located. Of all the scientists, only Sydney managed to save. Petrova and Mobius remained in the hands of GCD. When trying to rescue them, Sydney and Parker themselves are captured. But suddenly the captain helps Sakura, who opened the door of the camera and killed the guards. The released again justifies his nickname, breaking through the scientific center of the NOD and freeing Dr. Mobius. At the same time, he learns that Petrova is a traitor working on a NOD. Petrova tries to cover the traces, leaving him alone with Ravenwood turned into cyborg, but the attempt falls. After that, the doctor and Parker run away from the center.Trying to find Sidney, Parker takes part in the assault on the Temple of NOD. Penetrating inside the temple’s ion gun destroyed by the blow, he saves Sidney from the hands of the mutating Petrova and its protection, after which Sydney gets to the control terminal and cancels the launch of a nuclear missile located in the temple. In the final video, Sidney returns to his father, and Captain Parker receives a vacation.

Unfortunately, the game did not have commercial success, and as often happens with EA, they close Westwood Studios, which made quite a few beautiful games, and transfer employees to EA Los Angeles.

Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, Released in 2007, returned to the RTS genre and continued the events of Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun. The game takes place in 2047, when, after a 17-year break, the fraternity of the NOD suddenly begins full-scale military operations. Having blown up the Philadelphia orbital station and depriving GDI overnight the entire top of the command, the fraternity of the NOD, led by his charismatic leader Kane, begins the attack on all the fronts on all fronts.Meanwhile, Tiberius continues to spread, infecting more and more new areas. The Earth is divided into zones that differ in the degree of suitability for life. 20 % of the surface of the planet – blue zones. These are territories that were practically not exposed to Tiberius and did not suffer from hostilities. 20 % of the world’s population live here, and these zones are protected by GDI forces. The yellow zones in which the rest of the planet lives, 50 % of the Earth is covered. These areas are significantly infected by Tiberia, strongly depleted by continuous wars of the last times, and the activity of the fraternity of the NODs in them is great. In yellow zones, not everything is lost yet: there is the opportunity to clear the zone of the influence of Tiberius, turning it into blue. Thus, the city of Stuttgart was cleaned. In red zones due to the high concentration of Tiberia, human life is impossible.Due to the lull of recent years, the interests of the HSB began to gradually move from military regions to the environment and ways to combat the spread of Tiberia. Experiments showed that Tiberius can be destroyed by sound waves. This can allow even red zones from this substance. GSB with the help of Tacitus continues to try to save the world of Tiberius, but, on the other hand, needs it to support its economy. The struggle of the HSB with Tiberia can deprive the fraternity of the NODs of the energy received from it and stop their military development: Kane has his own plans for this mineral – Tiberia weapons.All three campaigns (including hidden) have a common plot and, as if supplement each other with information about the war. Also in the game, in addition to NOD and GDI, a new fraction has appeared – screenshots. These aliens are known only as screenshots who have come to collect all the deposits of Tiberius on Earth. For a long time they remained unknown to earthlings, only once visiting the solar system. Screenshots are a deterrence of other aliens who broke away from the general race. Being another colony, screenshots infected many planets with Tiberia, then to use them as huge batteries for their war of war. Tiberius, having finished his ripening, turned into a liquid and detonated, which later was a sign for screenshots: a massive explosion of liquid Tiberius under the main temple of the brotherhood, provoked by Kaine, called on screenshots. Approaching the land, they were surprised by the presence of the armed local population, struggling with growing Tiberia. They started a massive attack on human cities, making the GSB and NOD by surprise. The troops and buildings of screenshots have a clearly biomechanical and insect -like appearance, and have several economic and military advantages directly related to Tiberia, including the ability to accelerate the growth of this substance, store it in unlimited quantities and use it to improve the performance of their troops and weapons. The screensuns troops have a powerful air fleet, including quite multifunctional fighters “Bureurestnik” (English. Stormrider), artillery ships “Destroyer” (English. Devastator Warship) and universal Avias “planetary attack aircraft” (English. Planetary Assault Carrier) capable of generating local ion storms. This faction can also create wormholes and instantly teleport the troops to any point of the battlefield. Screenshots can also cause a huge wavop ship, which has a super-powerful Catalist Cannon, capable of destroying any building under the ship and creating a chain reaction that transfers to everything in the next. Thus, thanks to only one successful shot, it is possible to smash the entire base into chips and even more. In the game, their overweight is a “distortion generator”, creating a spatio-temporal hole that sucks everything close to outer space.
Interesting fact: the first alpha version of the game was called Tiberian Twilight and was developed back in 2003. The game planned to complete the Command & Conquer series, for the first time there were screenshots in the role of a full -fledged faction. After the company was closed, the project was postponed, and on the basis of the 3D game engine, Sage Engine was created.

First act: reunion.

2034. Kane enters the bunker deep underground, almost completely healed besides the face (he still wears a mask from the second part). He orders the barely functioning legion to start the uprising in Rio de Janeiro, destroying the local branch. After the successful completion of the task, Kane tells the system about his plan of reunification of the separated fractions of the NOD. Since revealing himself to the world is too risky, Kane chooses the brother of Marcion, the leader of the “new” black hand, to express his will to brotherhood. The player then must destroy the base of the Marcion and grab it. Imagine before Kane (already without a mask), the Marcion is forced to return to his side. Kane then orders to destroy the Laboratories of the HSB on the study of liquid Tiberius in Australia, which will cause an ecological catastrophe on the continent, turning it into a red zone. This will force the rest of the NOD fractions to unite. He says to the commander “Time to sleep … and see … dreams”, after which the screen fades smoothly, which depicts the disconnection of the legion.

Second act: Kane’s uprising.

2046. The player wakes up in the image of a supercomputer like Cabal. Kane begins to prepare for the destruction of the Philadelphia space station, ordering the player (legion) to steal plans for the network of orbital ion guns. Understanding that the destruction of the “Philadelphia” will deceive the HSB, Kane decides to make Redmond Boyle his pawn to make him strike with a overthrow-the orbital satellite-ion gun-along the Temple of GCD in Sarajevo, which will cause the Tiberius chain reaction throughout the planet and thereby attract alien “guests”-screens.The player receives an order to grab Dr. Giro, which explains his absence in C & C3. Meanwhile, Abbatis Alex Kovach decides to blame General Killian Kvatar of betrayal and orders the player to help the main temple of GCD, pretending to be Quatar. Kovach hates the legion, because it was created on the basis of Computer Assisted Biologically Augmented LifeForm (Cabal).The legion captures Tacitus in China when screenshots suddenly appear. They chase their artifact, but they fail.During the execution of the task for Kane to extract Tacitus, Kovach infects the legion with a virus, after which Kane orders her to arrest her. Before they can take it away, the Kovach grabs the gun and, shouting the ritual phrase of the NOD “Peace Through Power” (we need peace!), kills himself and the screen goes out.

The third act: Renaissance.

2052. The legion wakes up after the Third Tiberieva War, and Kane orders him to return Tacitus, since the study of this device in the hands of the HSB led to the fact that Tacitus became unstable. Kaine needs Tacitus for his grandiose plan, so he first orders the legion to awaken the “Selected Kane”, the cyborg fraction under the direct control of the legion.After successful reactivation, Kane sends the player to pick up Tacitus from the Laboratory of the HSB in the Rocky Mountains. After successfully extracting the device, Kane connects Tacitus to the legion. Kane’s prophecy is performed: “One way is one goal”, and eththy receives a huge amount of knowledge, after which we are shown a video in which an inscription in the language of screenshots appears: “The interdimensional portal is activated”.

The last and final part of the franchise was Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight. Plot tie: 2062. The war against Tiberius is almost lost, and only Kane knows how to save humanity from death, he arrives in Manchester at the State Pedagogical University’s headquarters, and, calling all those present “brothers and sisters”, he reports to them Tacitus, he offers to jointly build a tiberia control network (SKT), which will allow to restrain the spread of Tiberius and turn it into an inexpensive source of energy. I will not describe the plot further for I am too lazy. Gample in the Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight no longer the principles of collecting resources that were used in past games in the series. The player must capture control nodes scattered throughout the map and control them in larger quantities than the enemy. From this he gets glasses used in the battle. Command & Conquer 4 uses class -based gameplay, as well as some RPG elements.Each faction is fragmented in three classes: defensive class (Defense Class) – focused on infantry training. Class task: defense of the SKT positions. Crowler moves on wheels.Offensive class (Offense Class) – focused on combat equipment. Class task: active fighting, capture of strategic points (SKT, fucked huts, etc.) for the possible strengthening of the defensive class. Walking Craoleclass of Support (Support Class) – concentrated on air combat and specialized vehicles to cross the environment. Class tasks: Support for ground troops by aviation. Unfortunately, the game did not receive recognition of critics and players, which led to the closure of EA Los Angeles and the formation of a part of the new Danger Close studio, which after the failure of MOH: Warfighter was closed, and Dice Los Angeles was formed in its place (some kind of cursed place).

This part of the article will be more interesting, because here we will talk about C & C: Generals and Red Alert.
I’ll start with the generals. Command & Conquer: Generals The first game of the series released by EA Los Angeles, the plot of which originates in the 2010s. The player gets the opportunity to choose from three fractions. In Generals, the United States and China – two superpower, are attacked by the global liberation army (English.Global Liberation Army), a terrorist organization from the Middle East with an obscure list of leaders. Both the USA and China are depicted as the main characters in the series, and often cooperate with each other everywhere on the storyline. These three factions enter the war, similar to a real war with terrorism. Unlike Tiberian Sun or Red Alert, Generals has no main characters except the game on the battlefield (where they play a slight role). The player is the general of the corresponding army and earns the “General’s Glasses”, which increase the rank and open access to new abilities (for example, the order of the airstrike and the ability to repair units in a certain area).Despite the extremely positive image of China in the game, so uncharacteristic for most American computer games, in this country the Generals series is forbidden to sell, probably due to the nuclear attack on the Tiananmen Square in the first mission of the Chinese campaign, as well as due to the unreasonable use of a wide radius of action.

The plot was developed in the addon Zero Hour, But I will not paint it because of a large number of spoilers in the article and already foreseen, I only note that the game with the addon has become one of the most popular in the series.

And now the time has come for the most crazy and cranberry (filled with stereotypes) branch from the main series – Command & Conquer: Red Alert. The first Red Alert was released a year after the original C & C, T.e. In 96, it was planned as a prequel, but in the end we have a separate series and the universe. So, some time after the Second World War, it builds a time machine, with the help of it he gets in 1924 and removes Hitler, thereby preventing the war. But the holy place does not exist, and, having returned to the present, Enstein sees that the Soviet Union, led by Stalin and Kane, are satisfied with the war. In the game, we were invited to play for the alliance and stop Stalin and for the Soviets to capture all of Europe. Actually in the game two endings: 1. Alliance victory (canonical for Red Alert). Moscow was captured by the Alliance, the USSR lost the war, and Stalin was buried alive.2. The victory of the USSR. Europe lies in ruins under the rule of the USSR. At the final Briefing player, the constant assistant Stalin Nadia kills him, after which she is killed by Kane. Kane tells the player that he is now the future. And now about Kane, as I wrote above, the game was supposed to become a prequel and based on this and some video blows we can conclude that Kane prepared the ground for NOD and intended to use the USSR for his own purposes. It can be assumed that the victory of the USSR leads to the events of C& C, but there are small plot inconsistencies (for example, GDI is created in the event of the victory of the allies, but this is not important). Now about cranberries (taken from the Lurcoma):

Soldier Volkov & Chitskoi – Cybercommandos and his cybersobaka, distinguished by the health of the highlanders and Neslierir and love to the masses. Cyberpesic jumped on the enemy with a firing range. A mission with the same name could even go through a 7 -year -old child. Especially Lulzova was the “Deus Ex Machina” mission, in which, under certain conditions,. Volkov was washed, and he alone could first cut out the entire enemy army, and then the whole army of the player.Mammoth tank with flamethrows. Heavy tanks with Tesla Gan. V2 aka nuclear kamikadze. All this is in the Paradox Equation mission.V2 missiles with a distance of half a card.A moment with a nuclear charge on board.Mobile interference generator, turned into a mobile generator of big problems using Tesla coil.Submarines with endless ammunition of nuclear missiles. True, their range was scanty, which sometimes led to self -threatening.Civilians opposing the Soviet Union with nuclear (!) shahid belts and missile installations.After the end of any of the campaigns, a cycle of tasks was opened to destroy the suddenly mutated ants. It was worth stuffing a mixed allied-Soviet army.Trucks with a nuclear charge in the back, which, in one of the screensavers, when the tips victory, is cut out the last allied base. You can not teleport (otherwise it will demolish your half of the base) and use a zealous curtain (just nothing).Chronotank with missiles. Charges, teleports, takes out a couple of buildings, teleport.M.A.D. Tank Aka Seismo-Tank. 3 or 4 pieces take out the base and equipment within the radius of the defeat.By the way, all these severe things turn into a generator of great problems in the presence of a brain, straight hands from the right place and the presence of XCC Mixer. Rules.Ini allows you to arrange a mass exterminatus in any mission. It is especially cruel to have a cruiser with nuclear shells. Braph of the ass-a phrase entering the vocabulary of gamers-overfalls as an example of the wildest overweight cranberries. In fact, this text can be read on the roots of books in Stalin’s office during video blows. By virtue of its epic and powerfulness, the slogan is remembered and periodically used to designate the cranberry Soviet Russia a la “cocaine”, “EU, Komrad” and “Fore Maza Rush”.Also in the first Red Alert, in an inter -bit video, a sign appeared with the inscription “Aposo! Not a variety!»And on the monitor of the Soviet nuclear power plant, a chilling blood is displayed:“ Aposo. Aposno. Nucleania Elektrodi Pirigrilis and Mumant came. Time for Sriva 15:00 “.

I also want to note an awesome soundtrack for the authorship of Frank Klepaki. The most popular composition Hell March will appear later in Red Alert 2 and 3.

Addons (taken from the same Lurk). Two additions came to the game: Countersstrike And Aftermath (on PlayStation 1 both went out with one piece called Retaliation). The degree of cranberries in both exceeds all permissible and unacceptable limits. There was no plot there in principle, only sets of tasks in the style of “the enemy developed a prototype of the new unuservafli, it is necessary to shake, and also make the prototype not go into the series”. The screensavers were, but completely unrelated to each other and almost not delivering (except, perhaps, the cranberry general Topolev from Retaliation, who for some reason was dressed in major uniforms. In addition, this character strictly observes the traditions of the Soviet officer – an army method, infinite drunkenness for any reason and the arising from here is a sophisticated attitude to his own form.

In 2000, the continuation of all this madness was released Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2. The Soviets really did not like the oppression from the alliance and they secretly begin to increase military power from him to start a new war. We can also play for tips or alliance, but the canonical again is the campaign for the second (evil Americans again put the presumptuous tips in the place). I will not write about cranberries and jokes – so there is already a big sheet, look for Lurcomorye.

Completed all this miracle game Red Alert 3 with updating uprising. Two Soviet officers of Cherdenko and Kryukov depart in 1927 by a time machine created by the scientist Zelinsky in order to cut out Enstein responsible for the technical development of the alliance. Having committed this atrocity and returning back, they learn that the advice is crowding the Alliance on all fronts, but at the same time a new ambitious rival appeared in the arena in the person of the Empire of the Rising Sun. Interesting facts and cranberries

In the Mission “The Traditional Circus” in the city of Krasna-45 you can see an attraction in which you need to throw the ball into the mouth of the portrait of Secretary General Chernenko. In the same mission, the Japanese have fun in the dash.For advertising the game, the company created a website with several video clips, where actor David Hasselhoffumorically recommends that everyone play Red Alert 3. In one of the videos, he warns people about “evil dolphins who are ready to destroy any ship” and represents “friendly bears who are just striving to spread socialism around the world”.The first presentation “Red Alert 3” was held at a depth of 60 meters in the underground bunker tunnel in Moscow on Taganka.In the mission for the empire with the assault on Los Angeles, the headquarters of EA Los Angeles with a pirate flag on the roof and numerous tennis courts, pools, etc. p. If you highlight the building in to bring the cursor on its icon below on the right, it will be possible to read that the destruction of this building will lead to irreparable changes in a temporary continuum. If the building is still destroyed, then several boxes with money will appear in its place. In the same mission, the emperor says that the local entertainment park will disgrace an analogue in Yokogam (it really exists in reality), and it must be urgently destroyed.On April 1, 2009, information about the Soviet tank mammoth appeared on the official website of the C& C series, which turned out to be a living mammoth with guns on the back, stomping opponents. Materials were later added to add this mammoth to the game.The developers frankly mock the traditional Hollywood Pseudo-Russian accent-the “Russian-English” pronunciation is mimicked in the rollers for the USSR, and Natasha’s surname is deliberately pronounced with an emphasis on the second syllable (Volkova), although this is missing in the Russian version.In the last mission for the USSR, when it is necessary to destroy the statue of freedom, Tanya, the melting of ships, says: “As in the good old days”, which is a clear hint of the first mission for the alliance in the prequel Red Alert 2.The idea of ​​time travels with the aim of killing Albert Einstein was previously formed by the Czechoslovak comedy “I killed Einstein, gentlemen”.If the units are ignored and not touching, they will do funny things, for example: the Soviet conscript tries to rotate with a automatic and dancing the Cossack. If you give him a bottle of incendiary mixture, he sniffs it;He will also be like a circus car with her nose.The Soviet engineer rotates the revolver as a cowboy and drops it. Sometimes he plays the “Russian roulette”;The operators of the Tesla PC are broadcasting about something, as if being on the rostrum;Imperial engineer learns to bow normally and hits himself on the head. Sometimes he seemed to fight with someone;The spy of the alliance is dancing a waltz with himself;The alliance dog combines fleas;The Peacemaker is dancing with a shotgun;Soviet soldier sitting at a fire point, occasionally applied to the bottle.The first mission of the Japanese campaign is to destroy the Soviet fleet in Vorkuta, while in fact the city is at a distance from the sea approximately 200 kilometers. If you look at the card during a briefing, it becomes obvious that we are talking about Arkhangelsk.In the Japanese mission in Odessa, among the attractions that are proposed to destroy, in addition to the Potemkin staircase and the opera theater, there is a Lastochkino nest, in fact located near Yalta in Crimea.In addition, in the mission “All the power of the Empire” for Japan on the basis of your ally in Odessa there is a neutral building (“Marine Station”);If you examine this building in detail, you can see the flag not of the Ukrainian SSR, but to independent Ukraine.The Field Marshal of the Union forces of Bingham wears slats from Soviet medals dedicated to victories in the Second World War (in particular the medal for victory, a medal for the capture of Königsberg), as well as the medals of ten -year anniversary of the Red Army.What else is remembered by RA3

American missilers screaming “That’s Awesome!»Beautifully grinded-out-and-aimed gameplay, with a tuyeva hijacked puncture and shortcomings.The phrase of the Eporian emperor – “Odessa should burn!»Disgusting Russian localization in which the phrases of the units of the alliance were confused. Mentally unbalanced officer Nikolai Moskvin, whom some counted suspiciously similar to the protagonist of their beloved film.Soviet helicopters, by the way, with C& C 3, reporting that a big brother is watching you.Japanese floating fortresses. Grandfather Orwell is happy.The opportunity (to the delight of all fans RA2) to cut out the headquarters of EA Games, playing the Japanese in Los Angeles.Ends with hints of eroticism in campaigns for the alliance and empire, where it was possible to stare at the instructor – and Tanya Adams, yes! – dressed as a riser of outfits. But for the USSR there was no such ending. Because, as you know …Golden roots of books by the authorship of Kabbalist Michael Lightman to the left of the signalman Dashenka.

The brain-consuming march, meaningless and merciless, performed by the Great Symphony Military Orchestra of the balalai (in fact, a certain “Cossack choir” from San Francisco), with a rather incoherent text, deserves special mention.The uprising addition contained another version of the Soviet march – instead of the choir, the song was performed by a tongue -tied opera singer. However, with all its tongue -tied, the official words approved by the creators of the game sounded quite clearly and more spaces for maneuver and perpetuating understanding did not give.
