Really this game has just been such a fuckin COCKSLAP in the face....... Its not even fun to play anymore because 90% of the fucking population plays empire and yeh that pretty much sums it up. Macro has no skill. Just queue 99 units and wait for them to come out. Same goes for harvs just one harv on one node and ur fine. There is some more macro elements to it though when you have to keep an eye on ur bugged harvesters that occasioanlly stop for a drink...
Naval combat is a complete and utter stupid addition. For example if your playing as allies and you bash some soviet dude he cam just run into the water. If you happen to be running low on cash and you cant get a naval yard built straight away youre FUCKED. He builds two or three akulas camps at ur base with them and you cant do shit in the water... So all he needs to do is camp up with bullfrogs and flakcannons and just wait..... untill he gets dreadnaughts.. And yeah deadnaughts are a big fuck you to artillery units since they can fire across the entire fuckin map whilst athenacannons cant even reach a mcv placed a bit offshore. And yeh wait.... water has four expos... all untouchable by land on temple prime oh and yeh temple prime has TWO.. i repeat TWO land expansions that are untouchable by sea. And once he camps up with bullfrogs hes immune to air... So yeh gg there.
Buildorders are just plain and boring. Fuck me cnc3 rapes his game in bo diversity. Just look @ patch 1.8 and there were like ATLEAST 5 different bo's for GDI, sonic spam with engi rush, 3wf spam, infspam, like a mix of everything. surveyor rush on ur enemies blue.. etc. In RA3 ur a top player if you do rax pp ref wf pp ref.... and thats for two factions.. and yeh empire are different. and yet again a big advantage for them since they can fuck pretty much everyone over with
Misstakes, allies and soviets once they mess up vs empire they have offically messed up. With empire you can have poor ass micro and macro and still make a wtf comeback all you really have to do is camp up and just wait untill you have the king onis and waveforce and just oneshot every allied unit on the field(yes century bombers can kill the wf where ur teching but theres still a chance of making a comeback because empire is simply lulz.
And yeh oneclock powers and oilderricks. Seriously what the FUCK were they thinking?

Not to mention that the BETA's BALANCE is already better than CNC3's 1.0 lol
Besides, these are superficial issues that are due to BALANCE. The game's fundamental underlying gameplay is 4905247598342567394827650938456 times better than CNC3's.
If we get the same post-launch support for RA3 as we did for CNC3, then the game will be fantastic. Especially since it's RELATIVELY balanced atm, in beta stages.
Everything you mention here in this topic wouldn't mind me at all if this beta were organized the way I had expected it would. I thought we would have a lot of communication with developers on the forums here (like in the first week of the beta). And, more importantly, I thought EA would actually use the beta to experiment. Have radical changes every week. Try something out. Listen to what people are complaining about and implementing it to quickly test it, it doesn't hurt if the idea is wrong, just revert back.
Instead, we fight with this for weeks and wait for big patches again.
guys, the "Beta" isn't really a beta, the only thing it's really doing is catching bugs and promote the game, EA will probably fly out the best players they know who are in the beta to do some final balance changes before the game goes gold. Don't act surprised that it's not getting many patches because it's much more cost effective to do it that way.
