are torrents retail? i thought piracy was not allowed here on annadtech. better edit your post

Discussing piracy is kosher on the anandtech forums, according to the rules. So long as you're not directly telling people how to use bit torrent to pirate... (telling people how to use bit torrent for legal goods is completely valid, of course)

In any case, I wasn't really looking forward to RA3... so I probably won't be playing it.

Not really excited about the game since C&C franchise gameplay is shallow and boring compared to top RTS games such as CoH and Brood War. They have changed nothing since the first game was released, and it shows.

Not as impressed with this as I am with Fallout 3. I mean, I know its all fictional and stuff but did they HAVE to make it all like... cartoon?

I loved RA, but have had a hard time getting into any C&C games since, this one continues the trend.

Coop should be interesting at least with friends, but so far in the SP campaign, I'm not too impressed.

i would say your problems are not the games fault then if you are having this many issues other than the game connecting to the servers

wouldn't it basically be the same instructions?

I can't connect to anything EA either. I have to turn my network off to play RA3.

Anyone whining about mentioning of piracy on andandtech -> I have pirated fallout 3 and red alert 3 in the past week, and I also bought them both after playing them enough to know I wanted to buy them. That's called responsibility, and its the way it should be.
