[edit] Red Alert 3
http://www.ea.com/redalert/main.jsp Is this any indication that there is a Red Alert 3 in the making? Does anyone know how old this news is?--DarkMastero 19:50, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Uuummm... yeah. As the headline kinda suggests, I started this page on the presumption that we were writing in that kind of tone and that you're putting RA2 stuff inside that namespace. (trying to do more edits!)
[edit] ==
It seems that a lot of the RA1 and RA2 content are being mixed, especially in the GWWII and GWWIII unit catagories.
- I'll TRY and explain this...bear with me. RA2 is considered an 'alternative' to the original C&C as a post-Red Alert world. Therefore, it is in a different universe, as it were. However, RA1 'things' have existed in both universes. Hence the 'clone' articles. As far as I understand. I'm not involved in the RA side of things... Makron1n 19:14, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
- I know about that. Perhaps we're talking about two different things. My concern is that a bunch of things listed under RA2 are from RA1, (Tanya is missing from RA2/GWWIII or redirects to the RA1/GWWII Tanya) and that makes for a bit of a confusing read. (I also notice a lot of "filling in" for units/abilities/etc. that disappeared between games. The explanations seem plausible, but that need not be the case either.) Must be a tough job running this. ^^
The "RA2" refers to the "Red Alert 2 universe", not just the game. You see there are three major "universes" in C&C. There's the "Tiberium universe", consisting of Red Alert, Tiberiun Dawn, Tiberiun Sun, and Tiberium Wars, which have no prefixes. Then there's the "Red Alert 2 universe", consising of Red Alert and Red Alert 2 (& Yuri's Revenge), which have the RA2 prefix. Then there's the "Generals universe", which consists of Generals (& Zero Hour).
Notice that Red Alert takes place in both the "Tiberium universe" and the "Red Alert 2 universe", which is why there are two articles for everything coming from Red Alert. When Red Alert 3 is released it's articles will likely also have the RA2 prefix.--DarkMastero 01:08, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
