    The base game was standard global war on terror apologia, but the expansion pack ends with the US finally learning to get their nose out of everyone’s business after the USS Reagan is destroyed by a stolen US super weapon, and China becoming the unipolar power of the world. inshallah-script

    Oh i remeber the GLA ! It was such a well designed rebel faction , and it precursed VIEB and Tunnels in a way one has to really respect in Hindsight.

    They even had sucide Bombers which is why they had to censor the game in germany and replace them with suicide drones…

          Reminds me of reading/listening about the experience of YPG volunteers from abroad where they explained that you had to purchase your own gear and weapons from the black markets so most of them were fighting ISIS in flip flops and trainers.

          I think except the TIberium Wars series, both Red Alert and Generals had offensive steriotypes, Red Alert 3 is pretty much a cartoon, the US and Soviet portrayals are pretty funny though. The Japanese one is just offensive, even though they are Imperial Japan.

            Complete with George Takei as Emperor of Imperial Harajuku and a school girl commando iirc. Also I think the Nazi Star Wars lady and The Anti-Vax lady were in it.

              The Nazi Star Wars lady was the Soviet sniper, I forgot who the anti-vax lady was. Some players used to joke saying Yuriko was the long lost Japanese daughter of Yuri from Red Alert 2. Btw, Red Alert 3 felt really fucking weirdly horny for no reason, Red Alert 2 had sexual jokes but both men and women were dressed in Sci-Fi armor and clothing for most of the time, even Tanya had a modest look. Tim Curry, JK Simmons and David Hasselhoff were pretty funny

                Jenny McCarthy. Let me double check it was her. Yeah. McCarthy portrayed Tanya.

                And yeah, weirdly horny. Red Alert I was reasonably straight. II got goofier. and then III was just horny cartoon ridiculousness.

                  I think Red Alert I was supposed to be a serious prequel to the first Command and Conquer game, the one about Tiberium and Kane, the only silly thing in that game was Stalin dancing in London. I have absolute no idea why EA did that to III, only to kill the entire franchise some years later.

                  Yeah, this promotional video, compared to the RE1 intro.

                  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QB9BSuwrbQ

                  RE1 was always fun. “What if Einstein went back in time and merked Hitler so WWII didn’t happen?”

                  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e91eoGZOcwo

                  Fucking lol the Allies aren’t wearing Nazi uniforms but aren’t not not Nazi uniforms. Tanya’s not wearing a shirt, but, like… she’s not wearing booty shorts either.

                  The series also gave us the Hell March which we should probably bring back as a theme song because it’s so fucking good.

                  I wouldn’t mind seeing FMV cutscenes come back. They were always fun. Usually very campy, which was the right mood for many games.

                  Gina Carano as Natasha Volkova

                  I think she also did the voice acting for the character. Her ingame model and FMV looks nothing like the Art used in the game.

      The entire game was censored in Germany, all the soldiers were replaced by androids and robots (like Half-Life 1). And I think it wasn’t an actual drone, but rather a barrel of TNT and RC car. China was renamed to Asia Pact and the US to Western Alliance. GLA was renamed to IBG (Internationale Befreiungsgruppe - International Liberation Group).
