Just a heads up, EA released a set of every C&C game fromthe last 10 years. http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/260316.asp
I think the series went downhill after Red Alert tbh, I thought they were on the rise again with RA2, but sadly not...
Exactly what I did. Only one I didn't have was Generals: Condition Zero. But to have them all on 1 DVD... for a mere 40 bucks... ridiculously good deal.
I personally loved Tiberian Sun, Generals SUCKED, but with the return of the RA2 team doing RA3 I have High Hopes!
I had bought them all Except Generals(and a asshole friend long ago never gave me back my Red+2 Expansion set). I had to get it the day it came out, and that is what I did. I find it strange, 40 bucks for all except Sole Survivoir(sp), or right next to it was Generals+Zero Hour for 30. Such a hard choice.... Now they just need 3rd game in the Tiberian timeline.
RA2 and Yuri were great; Generals sucked something fierce, and I didn't find Tiberian that interesting.
I still play Generals in various modded forms. There are some pretty wild fan mods out there (try starting at cncden.com and search from there.)...I especially like the Starcraft one.

Only problem with that RA3 thing, is that since that was put out at the end of 04, many of the people have left that were starting work on it. I would almost want ot think its dead much like C&C3 is right now. C&C3 looked like it shodul of looked nice from teh EVA images that are on this link.Link. Guess there is also a litlte intro vid I have yet to watch.
to add to that ... As much as I would love to see another RA style game, it's certainly not guaranteed at this point.
As am i! I've invested many many hours into C&C over the last 10 years...... Love them all! Even Tiberium sun!
I recently started getting back into Generals, and I'm enjoying it. I do wish I had got round to playing Jux in Yuri's Would have been fun to see his tactics.
Even if they do make another Red Alert game, it just won't be the same without Frank Klepacki doing the music. Hell March forever, baby.
Hell March was the best. Whenever I start a C&C game it pops in my brain. http://macandchuck.ytmnd.com/ Someone else likes the Hell March.
